Learning and Mining – They Have More in Common than You Think

Most students have a feeling deep inside that they’re someone other than themselves. And they can’t seem to rid themselves of this persistent sensation regardless of how hard they try. They try to keep it hidden, but at the end of another exhausting day at college, it just pops out! It seems like there is no way to stop it.

When doing homework, nothing can be done or said to prevent this feeling from breaking out. Then a light goes off, and they realize they aren’t just students digging for information. They are miners digging for the mother lode of precious gemstones.

The vein of knowledge

Students’ textbooks and the other forms of information they may need, and are considered their tools, like a miner’s pickax. But the truth be known, the most precious and luxurious education jewels must be dug up and retrieved by hand. All miners wanting to become rich must first get dirty from the top of their heads to the bottom of their boots. Students too need to get in the dirt with their faces breaking out in sweat, their hands shaking, and their eyes red from lack of sleep. For the miner, the precious stones break out of their hiding place, and that’s when the student has actually learned something.

Miners who do poorly in college

Every bit of knowledge picked up in college is the most exquisite and valuable stone a student will ever achieve. If this winds up in the proper hands, it will change into a flawless diamond of a skill. To the student, this means a chance at making more money and gaining recognition. The student must be persistent in processing this precious stone, or it will always be a piece of rock. This precious stone will have no value and it can just be put away.

Keep digging to become the boss

Dig deep, well, and with zeal because, in order to graduate, this is the only way. It’ll get students past the long line of those seeking their unemployment checks after failing to find a job. These students were lazy and used ineffective tools while partying every night. Some of them get lucky by having parents that are wealthy who have taken them into a family business. But the rest never found any of those precious gemstones and are destined to be depressed, having their ambitions unfulfilled and broken dreams. Even if you feeling than there is no chance for you, there are lots of available writing jobs as freelance.

To sum it up:

Students understand that to succeed; they need to pick up that heroic pickax, hold it very tight, and begin to smash. They realize that these stunning gems are always hidden behind the most unnoticeable rock. Students need to know that they have these four years at college to study, learn as much as possible, and then to merge it all together to form a skill. This skill is their crown, and the more precious stones it holds, the greater they’ll perform in the employment marketplace.
