How should students be motivated to achieve success in life?

Students are best motivated towards success through intensive study, a deep and thorough engagement with the subject.

Intensive study concentrates effort on mastering material fully rather than covering it superficially.

Selected study covers only chosen portions and leaves understanding incomplete.

Incidental study is unplanned, accidental learning that cannot be relied on for sustained success.

Rote learning memorizes without understanding and fails to build lasting, usable knowledge.

Intensive study is usually contrasted with extensive study, which spreads wider but shallower coverage.
