(mehreen mushtaq, karachi)

“The more you read the more you learn.”
The modern ideology of being well-learned person is to sharpen the merit; from average to high but only study book can never make a student ideal. In order to be ideal he must walk through all tracks of sharpening merit such as reading, understanding and practical application in practical field, travelling as tourist, keeping knowledge about information technology (IT), computer operation, gossiping and discussions with others, proper utilization of leisure time and so on.
Today’s students are tomorrow’s leaders. The qualities of the student are of great impact to determine the student's bright future and career. So, who is a good student? What are the qualities of a good student? Historically, the term ‘student’ refers to anyone who learns something. However, the recent definition of a “student” is mostly used to refer to anyone who attends school, college, or university.

Qualities of a good student:

1. Self Discipline is of the utmost importance. If it is not present then few of the other qualities will be found. Self Discipline means that they think about their words and actions and then make choices that are right for themselves and for others. Those with self discipline accept that things do not always go their way. In other words, this student will finish their work before they play.

2.Respect for others and for property will be present in good students. They will treat others the way they want to be treated. Destroying or taking someone's property and harming it would not be something they would do.
