Teaching and learning by examples impart knowledge that is difficult to erase. The sitting, eating and talking habits in a community are readily perfected by doing as others do. Gideon had no time to explain all that is faithful 300 soldiers would do at the theatre of war. They won the battle decisively because they followed instruction of doing as their leader did.
As a young boy or girl, you too can win the battles of life if you follow the exemplary deeds of your godly leaders.
One of the easiest way of catching up with a subject is to diligently listen to and observe your teacher. Then follow his instructions. If you are an apprentice, technician or seamstress, your master has a peculiar way of handling tools. Do not imitate many masters at the same time. Be very safety-conscious in the laboratory and workshop.
Sometimes, many students give their attention to distractions during lectures and even extend the same at the church sermons. Poor performance in examination is tied to lack of concentration. Today, develop the right attitude towards life and you will begin to experience breakthroughs.
Working smart is about intelligent planning, focus, timely action identifying and seizing opportunities. You may have heard that to be successful you have to work hard. Hard work is good but not enough you also need to work smart.

To avoid such wearisome labour, you need to sharpen your "tool" by wisely setting goals and priorities; as well as avoiding distractions. This is the path to progress in your academic career.
I got your point very well and you're very correct, we just have to focus on our Masters/mattresses so that learn well from them, doing as they do.
