The third means for success in studies consists in getting used to not going on in any subject, be it one grammar rule to another or one argument to another, without knowing the previous material well. 4. The fourth means for studying advantageously consists of eating in an orderly and timely fashion. 5. The fifth means for getting ahead in studies is to keep company with studious young men. 6.

The eighth means to study beneficially consists of dedicating yourself exclusively to studying the subjects of your course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
