The Most Important Personal Quality of a University Student

Ugg Boots Sale Kids, University is more than a place where you get a diploma before heading for the job market. Our four years in university are also supposed to be character building. That is to say, we should develop some important personal qualities that are necessary for success in the present-day society. Among them, in my opinion, an unflagging interest in learning may be the most important.

As the world we live in is a fast-charging one, we constantly need to update our knowledge and skills. while many people grit Ugg Boots Sale Kids their teeth to cram their minds with new stuff, whose who have developed a genuine interest in learning during their college years may make a virtue of necessity, deriving much pleasure from learning what is required by the latest developments in their fields.

An interest in learning may also help to ward off the feeling of futility and emptiness, a typically modern disease caused by complicated reasons, say huge pressure and fierce competition in modern society. As human beings, we need more than material comforts to assert the value of our life. In China, where the belief in god is largely absent, a life-long pursuit for Ugg Boots Sale Kids knowledge may be a god substitute for religion, for those devoted to learning will be better aware of the significance of their life by seeing themselves as those who pass on the torch of knowledge. In this way, learning may serve to head off psychological crises.

Devotion to learning may also contribute to a better family environment, especially with regard to relations between parents and kids. Given the tremendous pressure Chinese kids receive from schooling, many parents worry about their kids having too much interest in playing computer games or online chatting while too little in studying. Scolding and corporal punishment are ineffective; worse still, they may estrange kids from their parents. With parents themselves demonstrating a desire for learning, however, kids may pick up the habit of reading and thinking, and develop immunity from bad influences. By actively Ugg Boots Sale Kids participating in their kids\' learning process, parents may find communication with their kids much easier than if they simply tell them to work hard.
