attitudes of school-goers and the importance of self-control

today i will be talking about the attitude of people. people normally have a negative attitude towards their studies. i shall be talking about the reasons why people do not like to study. is it because of temptations in the world now? game-creators in the world now has a lot of talent, in creating games for people to get addicted to. even the simplest game can let thousands of people go crazy because of it, willing to spend thousands of dollars on it. they are blinded by the "beauty" of the game and they are willing to do anything just to excel in the game, so that they can have a laugh at their friends, but they do not know that what they are doing is actually very foolish, because their friends, who do not excel in virtual life, can win them in other forms, be it academics or CCA-wise. in the end, the people who are laughing at them will be the ones whom they have laughed at before. at an instant, they would find that they do not have anything to their name, except for just a materialistic name, such as the gaming expert. people may call you that, and you may feel good, but you do not know that in the inside of them, they are laughing at you, laughing that your dumbness to play around with the game that does not serve you good.
People of our age now has a great tendency to get addicted into games. this is a part where self-control plays a great part in our lives. people at my age have a great possibility to drop out of school, or they might go to school but not pay attention to their lessons, and all they care is about their games, their only thinking process is not about the lesson, but the strategy to win in games. and in the end, they will be the ones at loss and they will never find their way back in a pit of darkness. they also would have the temptation to skip their CCAs, a form of relaxation for them after a long day in school of concentration on their studies and CCA is the brought-about-relief to all, in terms of stress, homework, etc. however, the gamers will skip CCAs to play their computer games. i am not saying that playing games is not good for us. playing games is a good way to destress, but it will not be good if the de-stressing method gets out of hand. 1-2 hours of playing is counted as good enough, and then we shall focus our energy back onto our work. we just have to tell ourselves that enough is enough, and we shall study hard after playing hard. at the end of the term, when they get back their results, they will be able to play hard, and this is a good time for them to let down their necks and play hard, relax well and "charge their battery for the next term".
hence, the attitude of students nowadays should be a "you reap what you sow" attitude, no matter in terms of studies or games. you study hard, you play less, you get a broad smile on your face at the end of the day. you play hard, you study less, you get frowns on your face at the end of the day. self-control should never be forgotten. we should have a sense of self-control in terms of gaming, and we should not exceed the time limit. thank you, and that will be all for my post for today.
