How to Always Succeed in School Part8

·    Many people avoid making decisions their whole lives, so their decisive faculty of mind, the faculty of discrimination, becomes rusty and dies. Such people become totally dependent on others. When we study the four functions of the mind – buddhi, the faculty of decisiveness; ego, the principle of identity; citta the storehouse of impressions; and manas, the importer and exporter of sensations and experience – then we become aware of the power of the will. Will power is that something within us to that comes forward and says, “Do this. It will be helpful for you.” Training the internal functions help us to understand the decisive faculty of the mind, without which we cannot be successful.

·    Watch what you do on a daily basis. We become what we do and think about. If you think about nothing – you will become nothing. If you think about being a great student – you will become a great student. If you think about being honest – you will become honest. The activeness and thoughts that will feel your day are keys in living successfully in school and throughout your adult life.
