Don't study just mechanically, but with an attitude that you are in a competition, as if you are standing on a starting line in a sports contest and will be off and running with the sound of the gun. Always keep in mind that you are in competition with all the students in the world. So my words of guidance are like the starter gun; if you pay the same attention to them as you would to the starter gun at the starting line, you will get ahead of others, even by one step. Many times, victory is decided with a second's edge or by a difference of one step, right? No matter how many steps and how many hours of running the competition involves, what determines the winner is the final step and final second. So in order to achieve victory, you have to invest tens of thousands of hours and steps. The one who makes such investment with joy rather than sorrow will receive the award. Even after the award, if he felt forced to do it, he will retreat from that point; but if he did it with joy, he will start running again after the award. Are you also like this? When you graduated from high school, did you feel that you were forced to go to college, saying, "Alas, I don't want to study again." Even though you may go to college, if you have this kind of attitude, you will end up drifting away. You go to college because there you can learn what you desire to learn and you can do what you desire to do. If you can find deeper and deeper contents of study there, you will be able to get ahead of other students. For this, you should take it as an enjoyable hobby. Even in forming a spiritual condition, having fun is necessary.
