Study. Concentration. No Concentration?
Everyone has a different view about group studies. Back home, it was a ‘fun’ activity to undertake. With friends, we relax and chit-chat, study probably never existed in that group study! So it was better avoided! Today, here I am at Edward Boyle library with this man sitting in front of me, deeply involved in what he is studying, researching for. I am amazed at the dedication and concentration level. With ear phones in his ears, and books in his hand… his mind doesn’t wonder even for a second. On the other hand, it’s me sitting right opposite, disinterested, sleepy, with head phones in my ears too… but distraction on my face and mind and thinking what to eat next, after having a full meal, chocolate biscuits and drinking two cans of redbull!!
I would like to ask you a question, how many times have you been in an environment, where there are groups of students sitting and talking, studying and busy with their own ‘work’ and not wondering at all? Well I can’t concentrate more!
Let me tell you, while I write this piece of work, the person to my opposite is deeply engrossed in his work. It’s amazing how this is possible. While, here I am distracted at least nth number of time and finally I decide to give-up on reading for a while and write my thoughts down. Well, what amazes me more, is that, there are times when, while reading you might want to look up and see what people around you are doing (I have done that atleast thrice, while I was just writing this article – calculate the number of times I’ve wondering since 11:00am) but this individual, maybe, looked around only four times since 11:00am and it’s 6:00pm now!
The only purpose of me writing this piece was to release myself from the ‘reading environment’. But this person gives me inspiration to look-up to him and follow his footsteps. May be someday! Phew!!
