Every Cloud has a Silver Lining

Many students live their educational lives in negativity which is there like a constant companion. For example, we would not think of telling a cancer patient to "get over it." We are told that we should not expect a person who is suffering from clinical depression to just "get over it." Yet, we find it difficult to endure and motivate students who see the world, not through rose-colored glasses, but foggy grey ones. That is the issue with many students who endure their own negativity. Many students just don't believe that the option is available to them. Those students need to begin the process gradually, placing themselves in controlled situations where the outcome is most likely to be beneficial.

Calmness breeds positivity, and a student can build his/her career from these small successes. One cannot get motivated unless one wants to be. So it is very necessary for all of you to look beyond the grey glasses and overcome your failure and lead on for a brighter future. Just because you are getting bad grades that don’t make you incapable of the fact that you cannot pursue your dreams. You have to trust yourself and make the best move. Studying all the time is never required, one just have to be concentrating in what they do. Similarly it is the duty of a teacher not to be biased towards a student and we stand by the rules. In the end a student must always remember that all they have to believe in is that they can do and achieve it.

How to Choose the Best Course for your Degree?

Choosing the perfect course for your graduation or post graduation is very necessary. Have you ever thought and wondered how important it is to choose your subjects because your future depends on the course you have taken for your career. MVN guides you on some guiding points which will make you choose the perfect course for your degree or rather help you in choosing the subject.

Firstly, find out the specific unit requirements of the college. It's important to know how many classes are requirements and how many are electives. Secondly, thumb through the course catalog and make a list of courses that interest you. Divide them into 3 categories: major, core and elective. Then choose core classes and classes for your major first, as these offers the least flexibility. Consider meeting with your advisor to find out which core classes you must take for the major or majors that interest you. Thirdly, choose electives once you know how many elective units you can take on the base of being the perfect alternatives to your core subjects and once you've chosen core and major classes.

You can also ask older students or your advisor about the professors who will be teaching the courses you're considering. Even the most fascinating-looking material can put you to sleep if the professor can't teach. Try sitting in on more classes than you'll end up taking, for at least the first few days of the term. This way you can see what you like before committing for an entire term. Lastly, drop the classes you don't like or need, and continue attending each class you find interesting, even if you are not yet enrolled.

In the end always remember that “Persistence pays off” and this will definitely give you a perfect platform for your future.

Stay Motivated to be Successful in Future

Staying motivated is a struggle — our drive is constantly assaulted by negative thoughts and anxiety about the future. Everyone faces doubt and depression. What separates the highly successful is the ability to keep moving forward. There is nothing as difficult as being motivated. Even after beating it, the problem reappears at the first sign of failure. You need to understand your thoughts and how they drive your emotions. By learning how to nurture motivating thoughts, neutralize negative ones, and focus on the task at hand, you can pull yourself out of a slump before it gains momentum.

Here is a guideline for students to feel motivated always. The first motivation killer is a lack of confidence. When this happens to me, it’s usually because I’m focusing entirely on what I want and neglecting what I already have. When you only think about what you want, your mind creates explanations for why you aren’t getting it. This creates negative thoughts. Past failures, bad breaks, and personal weaknesses dominate your mind. In this state, you tend to make a bad impression, assume the worst about others, and lose self confidence. The second motivation killer is a lack of focus. How often do you focus on what you don’t want, rather than on a concrete goal? The problem with this type of thinking is that fear alone isn’t actionable. Instead of doing something about our fear, it feeds on itself and drains our motivation. The final piece in the motivational puzzle is direction. If focus means having an ultimate goal, direction is having a day-to-day strategy to achieve it. A lack of direction kills motivation because without an obvious next action we succumb to procrastination. STAY MOTIVATED.

Teamwork is Vital for Success

“Coming together is beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.” Said by a man who went bankrupt five times before he went on to design a company which changed the way people travel: Henry Ford. And these words did not come out in a desperate attempt to answer a question on the hot seat. But because it he realized that it works –teamwork.

Here, at MVN University, we strive to make a better future for our students. For sure education is important. But it is a vast ocean; the education which is traditional to the curriculum and the education which each individual learns individually over experience are different in vital ways. The after hours of discussion on how to enhance their skills so as to learn this know-how, we noted down a few points; to let them discover themselves, to let them discover others, to use their skills, to enhance them and others’ as well, to develop and prepare themselves for the real rat race outside the gates of this university.

And thus, we emphasize on activities which require the engagement of more than one individual which forces them to be flexible and stiff from time to time as the situation changes, thus providing them with the simulation of the professional world. And with our state-of-the-art techniques and our expert faculties, we make sure that our students stand out of the crowd.

You are pursuing engineering and want to make it big. But have you ever thought about the rigorous combination of work you will need to do to get placed in a good reputable company?

These kinds of internships will give you a real life exposure. It will make you apply your theories and make you learn more about application. It is one of the most widely used techniques by colleges to push their students towards real life learning. Students not only learn more about what they learn in college but also get additional learning of things that are not taught in classrooms. This applies for every field of engineering and significantly enhances learning. Not only do internships help students in learning more, they also motivate students to do something big. When you see engineers carrying out impressive activities in real life and when you look at them coming up with new inventions and innovations, you also get motivated to work hard and reach that level.
