The focus for this post will be on the 'study much/ suffer much' part of that Celtic saying.
During my varsity days at both Auckland University and especially at UNITEC doing a thesis for a Masters degree in Educational Management, I did a lot of suffering as I studied. A lot!
It was really hard work at times, especially given I was working full time as a Deputy Principal and we had four young children at home, but I pushed through.
Yes, I know. We had it tough in our day! No pain - no gain.
That thesis experience was good for me - built some resilience, even if I didn't exactly enjoy the discomforting process.
Am I wrong or is there a trend these days for students to shy away from the study much/ suffer much regime. Often students seem to want things handed to them on a plate.
That is not the path to true wisdom.
