Question

HELP someone please, i am in my second last year of school and am only getting mid 50's in all my subjects, when trying to do homework and study i get distracted really easily and struggle to get focused, i have future ambitions to become a Pilot but my work ethic is really letting me down, could someone please offer advise on study techniques and how to get motivated and focused, as my parents give me all the opportunities but even they are starting to loose hope that i will succeed!!! I want to prove them wrong and succeed so can someone please help!!!

Answer 1

while studying limit distractions. also go into it with a clear head, focus only on the subject at hand... treat study time like you would your favorite activity...get into it.

sucess will be yours if you invest time as well as effort...start studying.

Answer 2

Daydream about your life two different scenarios...  one giving up on your dream of being a pilot and ending up in something you just do to make a living and grow to hate.  See a dull life... add a bit of spice...  Next daydream of successfully achieving your dream.  Despite the rocks in the road, you busted on through and met the challange.  See your self as that pilot.  

I guess you need to be honest with yourself too and look at your grades.  Is the material that hard that your grades are low?  If so study more, study hard, eat a good diet and exercise to clear the mind.  If it is that you find it boring perhaps you are in the wrong path.  If you are going to do something, do it the best you can.  Look at what you do with your spare time from studying..  going out partying, sleeping too much?  What do you find more important then your career path?
