How to be blissed?

What happens when i have 4 days to study for my last paper?

I would study 2 out of 7 sets of notes each day. In order words, i probably spent 2 to 3 hours to study each day only.

That's the problem.

If i have just 1 day, i can probably finish study everything within that day. It's all in the mindset.

So i guess to be really efficient and productive, one must be 'ignorance'.

The cliche 'Ignorance is bliss' is saying how the condition of being uninformed or uneducated, lacking knowledge or information is bliss.

But here, ignorance doesn't mean we don't study and be uneducated or be oblivious to any information coming into us.

In another perspective, 'ignorance' comes from the root 'ignore' which means to take no notice of and to pay no attention to.

So during the exam period, one must ignore the presence of all form of distractions such as TV, Youtube, MSN, Facebook, games etc. Or even ignore the existence of any problems, stresses, adversity, depression etc.

Maybe when one stays 'ignorance' this way then can feel the bliss...


I think i ignored the fact that i have exams and still have exams. And did not ignore the fact that holidays, albeit a short one, are coming after exams.
