We as students have so much to think about. Mainly our studies. To achieve balance, we need to set our priorities straight. Some of us have other commitments besides our studies, be it family, girl/boyfriends, work, money and more.
Some of us fail to set our priorities despite of our commitments. End effect, we don't really go anywhere. We just stay with our terrible results and never budge forward. Being a student trains us to become leaders. Leaders of our family, leaders of our department or leaders of certain groups. And being a leader, one must know which aspect one should prioritize in his or her life.
I know of a few, who are in difficult situations due to their failure in setting their priorities and goals straight. To share with you, I would like to share the priorities that I have set so far by rank:
0. Spiritual development
1. Career development
2. Studies
3. Family
4. Personal development
5. Friends
6. Soft skills and other non study related knowledge
Of course there is a number zero in this ranking which is spiritual development, i.e fulfilling your responsibility to God and listening to His commandments. This is important for it gives you a proper guideline on how to live your life and prevent you from going astray.
There are a few who prioritize their girl/boyfriends higher as their career development or studies. It's not good. The thing is that, we are still not married (for those who aren't). When we get married, then our priorities really need to change. Family must be put as rank 1 instead of your career or studies. For if it is not done, it will be a spell for relationship crisis and disaster. Marriage is the holy bond which ties two souls together. When we are still in a relationship, it's still the time for getting to know one another. Marriage is the 'Schluss' (closing).
Theory is easy but applying the theory is another story. Have a tough stance and maintain flexibility in times when we have to be.
