Of Studies - Francis Bacon

 

        Study as an activity provides joy, it enhances our thinking, speaking and writing ability. All these abilities can add charm in our personality. Study is a private activity in which people can engage themselves when they are alone. It helps them to relax and get freshness. It can help us to become more intellectual and judge other personalities. It is also important in decision making.

 

        Study allows the learned man to critically observe everything, by that a person can come to the right conclusion. Study can help in collecting data, facts, and arguments for any discussion. Study can help in improvement in the quality of our judgement.

         By studying different things, we can be capable enough to judge and learn other things. Sitting on a place and study for more hours can make a person lazy.  Studying too much and use our wisdom to explain everything around us can make us a subject of joke for other people. By studying we can learn many things but when we apply theories on each topic or subject, it can harm our intelligence.

         Study adds perfection in human nature. By studying we can get life experiences and we can be a mature person. Studies can make our senses more sharp but our studying and misuse of intelligence can mislead the conclusion of our judgement. People who are having good skills and abilities will not appreciate studies simple people will accept the importance of studies and wise people will practice and use their studies in their life.

        A person should not study to argue with others or accept other scholars point of views. Study should not be wasted in the pointless arguments and discussions. A study should make us capable to analyze and argue positively and rationally. There are different kinds of books, some are to be tasted - of different genres and content, some are to be chewed and digested - deep reading with understanding of the content and some are to be read in parts - quick reading, we can only read the summary of such books, some are to be read wholly and with attention, which helps in life.

       Discussing about the books provides various skills in human. Reading adds perfection in the personality of man. Writing helps to memorise. If the person do not discuss his readings he will forget his readings. Reading history makes a man wise. Poetry makes a man imaginative. Mathematics provides a sense of logic and philosophy makes a man morally perfect.

        A person can increase his/her skills by studying. Defects of human body can be cured by exercises. The same way study can help in the development of our skills.

        If a person is not able to concentrate, he should study maths. If a person is not able to differentiate things then he should study benefits of being a schoolman. Thus, every defects and inability of mind can be covered by studies and appropriate reading.
