Three attributes can help people in their studies. First a sense of responsibility is important for building a sound character. If you aren't responsible you'll postpone your assignments or devote too little time to your schoolwork.
Second in school life relationships between people are valuable. Friends can bring you happiness and laughter. In addition you can discuss problems and pursue knowledge with them.
Last it is important to have a constructive philosophy of life. If you are defeated don't be disappointed. Try to face your life and your studies with courage and determination.
If you can work toward these goals you'll become a well-rounded and versatile student instead of being a bookworm.
