I was inspired by Dean
Academic speech made today during the hosting session of assembly (28/4/2014). He
started with scaring student. You are done with two third of semester and you are
left with one third of semester. Timetable for end semester will out within
short period of time (maximum 10 days from today).
Some student who listened
might think it was simple strategies when he make speech but those common and
simple strategies generally make mistake by everyone of us in daily life.
I could take note of his
speech. Below are highlighted point that I could catch up.
· Happiness,
· Sleep and
· Toy/instrument.
Happiness.
On top of tending to
forget doing our scheduled task we disturb serious student at work. For
instance when it is time for studying (at 8pm, generally observe as silence
hour) students go room to room for gossiping to kill his or her boredom. To
students who are genuinely want to study has no option to reject his gossip as
Dean has pointed out all student are brought up in the cream of Bhutanese
system. If you really want happy within yourself and want to see your friend
happy, don’t go to gossip with serious student during silence hour (study hour
at 8pm). If you go and gossip with serious student, you are making your friend
unhappy as your friend think for sure is, it would better if you go.
Sleep.
In connection with
happiness he talks about duration of sleep that we required. He mention three
type of sleeps: Under sleep, Normal
sleep and Over sleep. If we fall under the category of Under sleep and Over sleep
we will have problem. Instead of feeling light you feel drowsy and pain of body.
Hope you all have better experience of it. Now what is the solution for above
problem? To get solution you have to read sub-topic toys/instrument as follow.
Toys/Instruments.
He used sensitive and unforgettable
word like Toys/Instruments. Here Toys/Instrument represent laptop and things
that are main factor for wasting time. There is only one weekend in a week but
for us every week days are treated as weekend. Every day you watch movies and browsing
social media for no purposes at late night.
Here comes the problem by Under
sleep. Some student prefer early to bed than watching movies or browsing
social media but we never realize how much we sleep and here comes problem by Over sleep. Staying late night result
in Under sleep on top of missing
morning class that start at 8am. Over
sleep is for sure to miss all classes of morning session.
I learn great lesson with
his simple and effective speech.
P.S: Instead of going room
to room for gossiping, make timer (6 hours) and go to bed. Walk up early when
timer walks you up. It will make you happy within and your friend too.
And Dzongkha proverb says:
ཕྱི་རུ་ཉལ་མ་ཤེས་རྟ་དང་འདྲ་།དྲོ་པ་ལོང་མ་ཤེས་ཕགཔ་དང་འདྲ་།
“It says one who go to bed
at late night are same as horse and one who walk up late in the morning are as
same as pig”.
Time table should be maintained for self study
