Being a student is an easy task that everyone can do, but being an outstanding one is a difficult task that every student dreams of. In order to change from a normal student into an outstanding one, you need to achieve these six methods. First of all,you should study hard and smart. If you only studyhard but not smart, sometimes you can waste too much effort and only receive a little result back, but if you study hard plus smart, you don’t need to spend that much effort on itand still you can get good result as you want. Studying smart means that you need to study the right things at the right time.Final Exam, for example, is probably the difficult test for students, but all you need to do is reviewing the important lessons during your study or predicting what can your teacher probably put on that exam, so you can focus on those points. This method can save you so much effort and return you with good result.Second, you need to be punctual in the class. This means that you need to attend every class on time to show that you respect the time and respect the teachers. As one proverb said "Time is money", so it's usual that an outstanding student respect his or her time.Third, you need to be a responsible learner. In class, you need to pay attention to teachers and classmates when they explain or share useful knowledge to the class. If you want others to pay attention to you, you must pay attention to them first. Furthermore, paying attention can also show that you respect them. Another point is that you need to be responsible for every work that you have done. If you are right, you should prove that you are right, but when you are wrong, you should honestly accept the mistake and not put your own mistake to others. Moreover, a responsible learner must be responsible for all the works or assignments given by the professor. You must try your best to do them instead of depending on others to do them for you. Fourth, you also need to be an independent learner. As an independent learner, you need to do self-study by yourself. Sometimes you can review your lessons or spend time to read the text books at home. Furthermore, you also need to research more at home to enlarge your knowledge from day to day. However, you must not separate yourself from others. You still need to be cooperative with other students because teamwork is really important in every situation. You must not be over-confidence on yourself and forget about other students, and you must try to work together and help others to become better as you by explaining them when they don't understand or sharing useful ideas together. Fifth, you need to be curious. During study, you should ask questions when you're not clear about something. Don’t hesitate to ask when you have doubt in your mind. Sometimes you can have different ideas from your teachers, so you should ask them to explain you their ideas, and you should explain them about your ideas too. That can make sure whose ideas are the correct ones. The teachers' ideas are not always right.Finally, you need to learn how to release the stress. Studying a lot can sometimes make you headache or stressed, so it's usual that you can find some ways to release the stress like playing games, listening to music, talking with your friends, or doing sports, etc. Usually, you can have really hard time in studying, but you should find something to have fun sometimes to refresh your brain and can continue to study more. Just remember that you're not a robot, you should have your own personal time too.To conclude, it's not that easy to change from a normal student to an outstanding one, and it's required you so much efforts from physical to metal; however, you can stillpossibly become one when you follow these six methods correctly.
