Keeping the Student Within Us Alive

As international students, we make significant sacrifices, putting our most valuable resources on the line to pursue education while managing expenses, all with the hope of securing excellent job opportunities. However, the most daunting challenge lies in keeping the student within us alive—the one who stays focused, learns, and earns good grades.

Amid the pressures of academics and life abroad, it's easy to be drawn into environments that promise a temporary escape—indulgences, hangovers, or parties. While these breaks might seem harmless, they can distract us from our primary goal.

Despite being surrounded by good friends, vibrant social activities, and the allure of a beautiful environment, deep down, we know that success ultimately depends on our own efforts. To persevere, we must nurture and protect the student in our mind—the part of us that remains driven, disciplined, and committed to achieving our dreams.

How should you maintain the state of Mind to keep the student alive within your mind? Listen to one of the Most favourite song which was famous once once upon a time "Tora Mann Darpan Kehlaye" shown below .

The original Song is at https://youtu.be/HUFX8r9NYUU?si=dm793Uc7NCYpybVQ.

Meaning of this song :

"Your mind is like a mirror, telling the difference between good and bad, like the mirror. One human asked Lord, how to get to Him. And Lord answered, control emotions of your mind, and you will meet Me. Your mind is like a mirror. Mind shows all good and bad deeds. Mind is like Demi-God, mind is like God, no one is stronger than mind. When the mind is illuminated, one gets Liberation. Oh dear human, do not let dust of sins settle on your mind. The mind is the reflection of your life. Your mind differentiates between good and bad of life, like a mirror. The flowers of happiness, thorns of pains, the mind is ready to take them. Mind has thousand eyes, nothing can fool it. A sinner can hideaway from world, but sinner cannot hide away from its mind. All the good and bad deeds are reflected in your mind. The worldly wealth will go away,the wealth of mind's prayers is immense. Do not waste your mind for transitory matter. Do not waste your infinitely precious life for worldly pursuits. Your mind is telling the truth, telling the truth about good and bad, like an image of a mirror"

So as student we just have to be aware and Question what kind of environment can have what kind of impact on our Mind and how it can help or become obstacle for Learning . Environments which often drive us in indulgence will make a start for settling dust in mind.
