Qualities of a Good Student

A good student must possess some qualities. Otherwise, however meritorious a student may be, he cannot be a good student. In the first place he must have regularity in his studies. It means he must carry on his studies on a regular basis, not by fits and starts. Secondly, he should do everything with utmost punctuality. That means he must do things at the time appointed by himself. For example, if he sits down to read after the evening, he should do it every day. If he sits down immediately after evening on a day, and one hour after the evening another day, it will not mean punctuality. A good student's third quality is concentration in studies. He should pay his full concentration to his lesson, and try to understand and remember it with arduousness. Fourthly, a good student should cultivate perseverance in his studies. It means that he should not easily give up if he fails to understand some of his lessons because they are hard.  He should make repeated efforts, and surely things will be clear to him. Fifthly, though not of the least importance, he should be careful about preserving good health.  If he fails to maintain good health, he may fall ill and lose much of his study time. A student can be a good student if he cultivates the above mentioned qualities.
