Student life is a temporary period of man's
life but it is of vital importance. It is the time when the seed of future
prosperity and happiness is to be sown. As he will sow at this stage of life, so
will be reap in his later life. Therefore, an ideal student is to cultivate all
the good qualities of a man during this time in order to built a happy and
proerous life. The first duty of an ideal student is to study. Learning with an
ideal student is a "jealous mistress", as Mr. Haldane points out. The students
constitute a class by themselves. Great responsibilities lie on them. His
parents need not goad him. He takes up his studies with all seriousness. He does
not allow any other activity to disturb or to distract him.
An ideal student does not waste his time and
energy on trash. He seeks the teacher's guidance. He has faith in the superior
knowledge of his teachers. An ideal student is not a book-worm. He is keen but
not blind. He selects his reading wisely. He has well defined tastes and he
develops them with patience and care.
Constant and unbroken reading makes a person
dull. It also affects one's health. So an ideal student is interested in games
and sports. He may not be an excellent player of any game. But he has enthusiasm
for playing. If he cannot play he atleast participates as a spectator. Besides
games there are other general activities at a college. An ideal student
participates in as many of these activities as possible. He picks and choose
according to his taste.
Many students look upon discipline as a check
on their freedom. An ideal student regards discipline with respect and
understanding. With him discipline is not an external force. He disciplines
himself. He does not go against the rules of the college. He is well-behaved and
he respects his teacher, parents and elders. He is graceful in everything that
he does. He is not selfish. He is helpful and co-operative. In his personal
appearance he is neat and clean and simple. He is not impudent.
An ideal student takes interest in politics but
in a limited way. He tries his best to understand what is happening in the
country and in the world. But he keeps his mind open. He does not attach himself
to any political party. It is only in times of national crisis that he may give
up his studies and take active part in politics.
An intelligent interest in studies, wide but
systematic reading, interest in extra-curricular activities, general knowledge,
simplicity and grace these are some of the most important qualities of an ideal
student.
