" HONESTY IS THE CORNERSTONE OF CHARACTER. THE HONEST MAN OR WOMAN SEEKS NOT MERELY TO AVOID CRIMINAL OR ILLEGAL ACTS, BUT TO BE SCRUPULOUSLY FAIR, UPRIGHT, FEARLESS IN  BOTH ACTION AND EXPRESSION. HONESTY PAYS DIVIDENDS BOTH IN DOLLARS AND IN PEACE OF MIND."

                                                                                             

                                                                                                                          -B.C. FORBES

I THINK THE QUOTE IS TRYING TO SAY THE PERSON WITH A CALM AND PEACEFUL MIND IS THE ONE WITH NO PROBLEMS. IF YOU ARE HONEST YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO HAVE BIG PROBLEMS. SO HONESTY IS WHAT CLEARS YOUR MIND.AN HONEST PERSON IS ALWAYS TRUSTED AND RESPECTED.

HONESTY

                                                                9 OF 10

HONESTY IS ALWAYS THE BEST POLICY. EMPLOYERS NEED TO KNOW THAT THEY CAN TRUST YOU WITH EVERYTHING FROM COMPANY CREDIT CARDS TO TRADE SECRETS. HOW CAN YOU WORK AT HONESTY? YOU DEMONSTRATE INTEGRITY EVERY DAY THAT YOU DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK AND RESIST THE TEMPTATION TO CHEAT ON EXAMS.

WHAT IS HONESTY?

• HONESTY IS TELLING THE TRUTH.
• HONESTY IS STRAIGHTFORWARD CONDUCT.
• HONESTY IS BEING SINCERE, TRUTHFUL, TRUSTWORTHY, HONORABLE, FAIR, GENUINE, AND LOYAL WITH INTEGRITY.

YOU ARE BEING HONEST WHEN YOU...

• DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK
• TELL A FRIEND THE TRUTH
• EXPLAIN THE REAL REASON YOU DIDN'T TURN IN YOUR HOMEWORK
• KEEP YOUR EYES ON YOUR OWN PAPER
• CLEAN UP YOUR ROOM AFTER MAKING A PROMISE
• GIVE THE CASHIER THE EXTRA MONEY SHE GAVE YOU BY MISTAKE
• WRITE A REPORT IN YOUR OWN WORDS INSTEAD OF COPYING
• ADMIT YOU MADE THE MISTAKE
• KEEP A FRIEND'S SECRET
• TURN IN A WALLET FULL OF MONEY THAT YOU FOUND

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

"STOP WORRYING ABOUT WHETHER YOU'RE GOING TO WIN OR LOSE AND FOCUS YOUR FULL ATTENTION ON WHAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT THIS MOMENT."

                                                                                         11 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

WHAT PHIL JACKSON IS TRYING TO SAY IS DON'T THINK ABOUT WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN. IF YOU WANT TO WIN MAKE IT HAPPEN BY FOCUSING AND GIVING IT YOUR ALL SO YOU CAN ACHIEVE SUCCESS AND BECOME A GREAT AND WELL KNOWN PERSON. IF YOU FOCUS IN WHAT YOU ARE DOING AT THE TIME THEIR IS NOTHING YOU CAN ACHIEVE AND ACCOMPLISH. THE MORE YOU TRY THE MORE CHANCE YOU HAVE IN ACCOMPLISHING YOUR GOAL.

THESE ARE SOME OF THE GREAT PLAYERS HE MADE KNOWN TO EVERYONE AND HE MADE THEM INTO MORE THAN WINNERS, HE MADE THEM INTO ROLE MODELS.HE COACHED AND TRAINED THESE PLAYERS TO BECOME THE VERY BEST.

TIME MANAGEMENT

8 OF 10
MASTER THE MOMENTS AND YOU MAY BE A REAL PRO WHEN IT COMES TO JUGGLING THE MANY DEMANDS ON YOUR TIME-CLASSES, HOMEWORK AND ACTIVITIES-WITH SOME FAMILY HELP. COLLEGE GIVES YOU AN EVEN BIGGER CHANCE TO SHARPEN YOUR TIME MANAGEMENT SKILLS BY DOING IT ALL ON YOUR OWN. AND THAT'S A GOOD THING SINCE MOST JOBS REQUIRE MULTITASKING. YOU MIGHT NEED TO TAKE CARE OF CURRENT CLIENTS WHILE ATTRACTING NEW ONES, RESPOND TO E-MAILS WHILE WORKING ON A MAJOR PRESENTATION, OR ORDER TOMORROW'S PRODUCE WHILE PLANNING NEXT WEEK'S MENU.
      SOMEONE SAID. "WHEREVER YOU ARE. BE THERE." FOCUS ON THE PRESENT MOMENT AND GIVE IT ALL YOUR ATTENTION. DON'T LET YOUR MIND DRIFT AND WANDER HERE AND THERE WHEN YOU NEED TO BE THINKING AND CONCENTRATING ON THE MOMENT AT HAND. YOU CAN'T GO BACK AND RECAPTURE THIS MOMENT, SO MAKE THE MOST OF IT WHILE IT NOW. MASTER THE PRESENT AND YOU WILL MASTER THE FUTURE. WORK SMART BY MASTERING THE PRESENT MOMENT.

"TRUTH IS THE ONLY SAFE GROUND TO STAND UPON."
                                                 -ELIZABETH CADY STANTON
THE QUOTE IS SAYING IF YOU WANT TO BE ON THE TOP YOU HAVE TO TELL THE TRUTH. LIKE PEOPLE SAY THE TRUTH WILL; SET YOU FREE. IF YOU ALWAYS TELL THE RUTH THAT WILL TURN YOU TO A BETTER PERSON.

ATTENTION TO DETAIL

7 OF 10
WHEN YOU DOUBLE-CHECK YOUR CALCULATIONS FOR A MATH PROBLEM OR CITE SOURCES CAREFULLY IN A RESEARCH  PAPER, YOU'RE PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION TO DETAIL. THAT SKILL COMES IN HANDY IN ANY WORKPLACE, WHETHER YOU MAINTAIN A DATABASE, KEEP A LOG OF THE HOURS YOU SPEND WITH CLIENTS OR WRITE E-MAILS.
JOHN WOODEN, UCLA'S FORMER GREAT BASKETBALL COACH WHO LEAD HIS TEAMS TO TEN CONSECUTIVE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS, WAS ASKED WHAT HE ATTRIBUTED HIS SUCCESS TO. AMONG A NUMBER OF THINGS, HE MENTIONED THAT PAYING ATTENTION TO DETAILS WAS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT QUALITIES FOR SUCCESSFUL COACHING AND FOR HIGH ACHIEVEMENT IN ANY WORTHWHILE PURSUIT. HE EVEN PAID ATTENTION TO HOW HIS PLAYERS WOULD LACE UP  AND TIE THEIR SHOE STRINGS. IF THEY DIDN'T TIE THEM CORRECTLY, HE WOULD TEACH THEM HOW.
DETAILS MAY BE SMALL THINGS, BUT FROM SMALL THINGS COME GREAT THINGS; THEREFORE, PAY ATTENTION TO DETAILS AND YOU WILL EXPERIENCE SUBSTANTIAL PROGRESS IN YOUR OVERALL EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT.

"EVERYONE IS THE ARCHITECT OF THEIR OWN LEARNING."

                                                                                                 -CLAUDIUS

TO ME THE QUOTE IS SAYING IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO LEARN THEN DON'T LEARN BECAUSE THE ONLY PERSON YOU AFFECT IS YOURSELF. IF YOU WANT TO LEARN THEN LEARN AND TRY TO IMPROVE YOURSELF. YOU ARE THE PERSON WHO CONTROLS HIS OR HER FUTURE NOT ANYBODY ELSE SO TRY AND MAKE THE CHOICES THAT WILL HELP YOU INSTEAD OF MESSING YOURSELF UP.
