In this article, my own learning while studying is shared with the readers, who may be parents or students.  I hope this will prove helpful to them.

Before writing on the subject of the things a student should not do, let me enlist certain things which are important for a student.

Allowing mind to get distracted.

The students should not allow their mind getting distracted.

The students should concentrate on their target, i e getting adequate and effective education which is expected from them.

THE EYE OF THE PARROT

The Things A Student Should Not Do 

First step is realizing the significance of concentration.

In this regard one can recall the story of the great Archer, Arjuna and his brothers while learning archery from Guru Dronacharya.

Guru Dronacharya gave all of them a test wherein they were required to take aim at the eye of a parrot sitting on a branch of the tree.

Then the Guru asked each one of the students what he was seeing.

Every student answered in a different way.

One said I can see the blue sky and the parrot.

Another said I can see green branch and the parrot.

Next one said I can see all the blue sky,the green branch,and the parrot.

Arjuna said I can see only the eye of the parrot.

Guru Dronacharya was immensely pleased with the answer and told his students that the level of one's concentration should be like that of Arjuna.

The moral of the story is obvious.

One's set goal is eye of the parrot. 

The branch of tree, the blue sky, and all other things together have potential to distract one self away from the goal.

Therefore one has to identify the things likely to create hurdle by causing distraction in the path of pursuing one's set goal and keep himself away.

Secondly, having identified the hurdles of distraction, students should carefully remove them effectively at once.

Therefore, it is essential that a student should not allow himself to be carried away by the distractions around - whiling away the time, engaging in harmful activities, politics, entertainment and so on.  

Thirdly, the students should not have cine stars and celebrities as their idol. Instead they should have real life heroes as their idols.

I am sure that a student himself is in a better position to identify such things and keep away from them.

With intense desire to achieve the set goal and realizing the need to concentrate on the set goal one can identify and modify ways to concentrate and pursue the goal in effective manners.

One's sarasar vivek plays effective role in this direction.
