# Desire: deviates the goal and takes all the energy in the fulfilment of that desire.

# Taste: weaknesses of the palate draw away from learning in many ways - health, alertness, and aptitude.

# Eroticism: this has no place in a student's life. Indulgence and learning do not go hand in hand as they take the individual in completely opposite directions. No saying beyond that!

# Vehemence: learning takes a lot of patience and thinking. Getting emotional and impatient is nowhere coherent with learning.

# Oversleep: rest is required but in proper proportions. Sleeping too much mars alertness and paves way for laziness. Losing precious time that could be utilized in learning is a whole other issue.

# Overly tending: tending to elders and teachers is very much professed. But being overly subservient dispels one's ability to think on his own. One of the requirements for learning is inquisitiveness. A totally subservient learner takes every word for granted and does not promote independent thinking.<ref name=":7" />
