How many hours to study for success

The big question every school student faces is how many hours he /she should study for success.
This is also worry point for many parents and educators.
I have seen parents pushing children to study more more and more. But how much is too much???
There is no quick fix formula, how much one should study depends on many things. Studying for more hours never applies directly for acquiring good grades.
You study to score better but how much?
Let's do a simple math here.
1. 1 day equal 24 hours.
2. 1 school day equal 8 hours.
3. Traveling to school equal 2 hours.
4. Time for a good night sleep equal 7 hours an average.
5. Time for sports equal 2 hours.
6. Time for other activities equal 1 hours.
7. Sum total of point 2 to 6 equal 20 hours.
8. Hours, remain in a day equal 4 hours.

No. Of hours may vary depending on for example may be distance traveled to school.
An average a student has 4 - 5 hours in hand.
So in my opinion a student should study 4 to 5 hours a day.
Success depends on how much you learn from studies and not on how much you remember.

Why hawkers are not restricted from nearby schools

Is eating healthy not part of school curriculum

Kids are national asset.
Do we leave our personal assets on open streets? No!
Then how come we can leave our national asset unguarded; if we do, that's cruel.
See any school building in India, outside its gates you will found hawkers selling food items.
I have nothing against hawkers, they are (perhaps) poor people and make both ends meet by selling eatables to hungry kids. But but wait a moment, Kids are national asset, hawkers are menace. So what we need to protect truly, national asset or menace?
Certainly our answer will be previous one. And if that is the case we need to protect our kids from bad food. Whether hawkers earn or not by selling eatables but certainly we loss huge sum owing to bad health of our kids.
Food sold on open streets is not a thing to eat. But our kids eat the same food everyday. What about their well being? How can we expect our kids to be champions when we cannot teach them good eating habits.
Kids are kids you cannot restrict them. But hawkers are grown up, they must be deflected away from nearby school premises. We cannot let our kids eat a food full of flies.

Kids need food too

After a six to eight hour of school any kids stomach will want food. They will eat whatever they will get. Some schools may have canteen but those eateries are also in pathetic conditions. The conditions of eateries must need to be improved. In addition, outside schools government require to set op Kiosks selling healthy foods. This way on one hand some people will get organized work while our kids will get something good to eat when in hunger.

Health is Wealth is not only good in books, its good on real grounds too. Let's take the first step in nation building. Let's teach them to eat healthy, play heartily and be a winner.

Why physical exercise is essential for good grades

Good grades comes from burning mid night oil. But if you are not exercising your body muscles you are not studying it well. Reason, brain is part of body, if you are eating 2 almonds a day to boost your memory but not exercising your body muscles perhaps the nutrition won't work well. Burning energy is essential to create new energy.
I am not a medico or health professional but without hesitation I can say exercising works like cleansing. When you exercise, you sweat, in order body toxins washed out and create room for fresh new energy.
Exercise makes you thirsty and hungry, your body absorbs nutrition well, you drink more water and you sleep much better.
When your body is healthy, your brain will be healthy. And healthy brain question more?
To achieve good grades you need to ask more questions? Those questions shall come from brain, and when you ask a question, you seek answer of it and then ask bigger questions.
Physical exercise is not a magic bullet, but from experiences I know when I am physically active I perform better than the lazy days.
Create those healthy neurons, exercise daily, hit the Gym.

Why you should play outdoor sports

Studying computer science?
Great!
Staying in a Hostel?
Greater!!
Department is next to Hostel?
Great than greater!!!
You don't need go anywhere. Open your laptop, write lines of codes till you tired and then sleep in any position. After all this is hostel. So complete free and no interference from family. Occasional booze with friends with alright. When bored open laptop and play chess. Or Facebook is there blessed by Android.

Good, you are in college, you passed teen years and have 12 year certificate to show your success. All above things are good, pretty good, shows a sign of adulthood. But as you know nothing is permanent so not your adulthood.

Sports is not equivalent to Candy Crush and online games. I am not against computer games but your body muscles too need some care.

There is an old saying, healthy mind lives in healthy body.

No matter whether your studies need outdoor work or not but your body need outdoor activities. Get up, go to Gym.

Period!!!
