It is a prevailing prejudice in our society that the students, whose personal space is clean, are more likely to show a satisfactory result in school than those with their disordered one. In my opinion, this belief lacks reasonable ground. Here are the reasons why the students with a messy room could in contrary demonstrate equally their excellency in performance.
To begin with, let's point out that a room which is not arranged by the "order" accepted in common sense could rather be a proof of its owner's creativity. In this sense, a messy room might simply imply its owner's attention, which is not interested in a general way of disposing the objects, but in another. To give you an idea, the desks and the bookshelves of some great artists and writers, which are known notorious among their neighbours, are for them a necessary condition to organize their innovative inspiration.
On top of that, it seems clear to me that a lack of tidiness means regarding many of those rooms' users nothing more than an insufficiency of time and energy to manage their environment. How would a student completely absorbed in his work all day and night, hold an enough attention to elaborate every single detail of his room? For instance, one of my friends, who is appreciated as the best student in his college, has always a small shame to reveal his room each time I visit his house.
To sum up, I object to the misguided belief that the students with their room, which is far from satisfying our aesthetic standard, are necessarily less competent in their performance. In contrast, the state of their room, quite different from the clean room in common sense, might represent their creative potentiality as well as their excessive concentration in study. It is hence the time for us to be separated from the toxic prejudice that has unjustly accused their own living style. |
