How to become a good & successful medical student.

Yesterday my father bought me a motivational book on title "How to become a good & successful medical student". I thought that this book is really supportive n helpful for medical students n not only for them , I think it is good also for other students to follow though. As what at the front book displayed n written 'a holistic approach', it is of course useful for students due to its accomplished collection of discussion n custom problems raised faced by medical students is enthusiastically answered by the book author Prof. Dr. Muhaya Haji Mohamad M.D.,Ph.D of UKM. I have gone through the book and i think it is good if i could share with readers concerning the method n steps suggested by her. I hope that I won't do copyright infringement as i'll state along the resources n of course it is not done for money interest..
