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

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.

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.

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.

COOL UNDER PRESSURE

6 OF 10

VERY FEW STUDENTS ENJOY TAKING TESTS. YET FUNCTIONING WELL UNDER PRESSURES CRUCIAL TO YOUR FUTURE SUCCESS. TRY THINKING OF THE PRESSURE OF TESTING AS PRACTICE FOR THE WORK WORLD'S OWN EXPLOSIVE SITUATIONS. YOU COULD SOMEDAY FIND YOURSELF MEETING TIGHT DEADLINES, SPEAKING WITH IRATE CUSTOMERS, WIELDING A SCALPEL OR HANDLING DANGEROUS CHEMICALS.

THE BEST WAY TO CURTAIL PRESSURE AND TO EVEN ELIMINATE IT IS TO PREPARE. APPLYING THE MOTTO"BE PREPARED" HOLDS TRUE FIRST TIME AND EVERY TIME. PREPARE FOR THAT TEST, AND YOU WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT. IN FACT, IT WILL BE YOUR CHANCE TO SHINE, TO REVEAL THE HARD WORK YOU HAVE PUT INTO PREPARING FOR THE TEST. YOU WILL BE REWARDED FOR THE EFFORT YOU HAVE THRUST INTO YOUR STUDIES. PREPARATION REMOVES FEAR. WHEN YOU ARE PREPARED, YOU WILL NOT FEAR. PREPARATION HELPS YOU MAINTAIN YOUR COOL UNDER PRESSURE. PREPARATION GENERATES ENERGY AND ENTHUSIASM; THEREFORE, PREPARE AND YOUR COOLNESS UNDER PRESSURE IS SURE TO ABOUND.

THE QUOTE IS SAYING TO START OF WHAT YOU KNOW IS RIGHT NOT WHAT YOU HAVE TO ACCOMPLISH. THE ACCEPTABLE THING IS NOT ALWAYS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. IF YOU KNOW SOMETHING GO ON AND DO IT BECAUSE THE ACCEPTABLE THING IS NOT GOING TO BE ALWAYS GOOD IT MIGHT TURN OUT TO BE THE WRONG THING TO DO.

INITIATIVE

5 OF 10
INITIATIVE IS CREATIVITY, INVENTIVENESS, ORIGINALITY, INGENUITY, IMAGINATION. EVERY TIME YOU RESPOND IN CLASS, EVERY TIME YOU CHOOSE YOUR OWN RESEARCH TOPIC, EVERY TIME YOU PUT TOGETHER YOUR OWN INTERPRETATION OF A PIECE OF LITERATURE, YOU TAKE INITIATIVE. AND FUTURE EMPLOYERS VALUE CAN-DO PROFESSIONAL WHO COME UP WITH NEW IDEAS AND CHART THEIR OWN COURSE THROUGH PROJECTS, EMPLOYEES WHO ARE SELF-RELIANT. SELF-RELIANT PEOPLE ARE SELF-STARTERS WHO DON'T PROCRASTINATE ON GETTING THE JOB DONE. THEY KNOW WHAT IS REQUIRED TO DO AND DO IT. THEY DON'T WAIT TO BE TOLD MANY TIMES. SUCCEEDING IN HIGH SCHOOL, COLLEGE, AND IN THE CAREER WORLD IS TAKING THE INITIATIVE.

DO NOT BE LIKE THIS IMAGE IT SHOWS THAT YOU CAN NOT THINK FOR YOURSELF.

IF YOU CONCENTRATE LIKE THIS YOU WILL HAVE A CALM AND COLLECTIVE LIFE THAT WILL HELP YOU IMPROVE IN YOUR LIFE.

PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS

4-10

PROBLEM SOLVING GOES FAR BEYOND YOUR MATH TEXTBOOK. EVERY ASSIGNMENT IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO WEIGH ALL POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS CAREFULLY AND CHOOSE THE ONE YOU THINK IS BEST. AS A WORKING PROFESSIONAL, YOU'LL BE SOLVING PROBLEMS REGULARLY, WHETHER IT'S FIXING A BUG IN A COMPUTER PROGRAM OR OVERCOMING BUDGET SHORTFALLS. PROBLEM SOLVING SITUATIONS OCCUR EXTENSIVELY AND FREQUENTLY; THEREFORE, BE READY WHEN THEN COME.
WHEN PROBLEMS OR CHALLENGES OCCUR, SOME PEOPLE LOOK AT THEM AT NEGATIVE EXPERIENCES, AS A CRISIS. THESE PEOPLE ARE THE ONES WHO LIVE  DAY BY DAY WITH GLOOM AND NEGATIVISM IN THEIR ATTITUDES. BUT THE REALLY SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE, THOSE WHO ARE CHEERFUL AND OPTIMISTIC, ARE THOSE WHO LOOK AT PROBLEMS AS OPPORTUNITIES, OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN, GROW, EXPAND THEIR HORIZONS, AND MAKE NEW DISCOVERIES. THEY LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF THINGS AND LIVE HAPPY LIVES.

LEARNING IS NOT SOMETHING YOU CAN RUSH THROUGH IT TAKES TIME FOR YOU TO COMPREHEND AND LEARN THINGS.

TEAMWORK SKILLS

3 OF 10

EVERY TIME YOUR CLASS BREAKS INTO GROUPS TO TACKLE A CHALLENGE, YOU BUILD TEAMWORK SKILLS. IN COLLEGE, YOU'LL CONTINUE TO HAVE THESE OPPORTUNITIES TO PRACTICE VOICING YOUR OPINIONS, LISTENING AND RESPONDING TO OTHERS, AND REACHING COMPROMISES. BY THE TIME YOU LEAVE COLLEGE, YOU CAN BE AN EXPERT IN THIS IMPORTANT WORKPLACE SKILL.

INDIVIDUALLY YOU CAN ACHIEVE SO MUCH, BUT WHEN YOU WORK WITH OTHERS FOR A COMMON CAUSE, THE SAME OBJECTIVES, YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT MORE.

SPEAKING SKILLS

2 OF 10
WHEN YOU'RE ASSIGNED A CLASS PRESENTATION, THINK TWICE BEFORE DISMISSING IT AS AN UNIMPORTANT PART OF YOUR EDUCATION. EMPLOYERS LOOK FOR SPEAKING SKILLS IN JOB APPLICANTS, WHO MAY HAVE TO GIVE PRESENTATIONS TO CLIENTS OR REPRESENT THEIR ORGANIZATION IN THE FIELD. IT'S NEVER TOO SOON TO PRACTICE GOOD EYE CONTACT AND OTHER PUBLIC SPEAKING TECHNIQUES.

http://www.newswiretoday.com/news/17334/

ACCORDING TO THE BOOK OF LISTS, FEAR OF PUBLIC SPEAKING RANKS NUMBER ONE IN MINDS OF THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE. FAR ABOVE THE FEAR OF DEATH AND DISEASE, COMES THE FEAR OF STANDING IN FRONT OF A CROWD. JOEL WEINER NOTED AUTHOR AND PUBLIC SPEAKER WANTS TO HELP PEOPLE OVERCOME THAT FEAR.

"THE BIGGEST FEAR IS PUBLIC SPEAKING, WITH 15 PERCENT OF AMERICAN EXPERIENCING A DRAMATIC FEAR OF IT," SAID DR.MICHAEL TELCH OF THE LABORATORY FOR THE STUDY OF ANXIETY DISORDERS (LSAD) IN TE DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AUSTIN."PEOPLE HAVE HAD TO TURN DOWN JOBS, AND CERTAINLY STUDENTS HAVE DROPPED CLASSES BECAUSE OF IT."

REGARDLESS OF YOU OCCUPATION, YOUR SUCCESS DEPENDS A GREAT DEAL UPON YOUR ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY! WHETHER YOU'RE RUNNING A MEETING, SELLING A PRODUCT, MAKING A PRESENTATION. MOTIVATING CO-WORKERS OR JUST COMMUNICATING ONE-ON-ONE WITH OTHERS, YOU'LL GET FAR BETTER RESULTS IF YOU CAN SPEAK PERSUASIVELY, SMOOTHLY AND INTELLIGENTLY.

HEALTH PROFESSIONALS KEEP PATIENT CHARTS, RESEARCHERS DEPEND DEPEND ON  THE MONEY THEY COLLECT BY WRITING GRANT APPLICATIONS, SOFTWARE ENGINEERS WRITE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS, AND NEARLY EVERYONE WRITES E-MAIL TO PEOPLE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THEIR ORGANIZATION. AND BEFORE YOU EVEN GET THE CHANCE TO INTERVIEW FOR A JOB, YOU'LL NEED TO PRESENT YOURSELF IN COVER LETTER AND RESUMES.

MORE TIPS
FINALLY, LOOK BEYOND THE ARTICLE FOR MORE CLUES.

• READ THE WEBSITES HOME PAGE AND THE ABOUT US PAGE. LOOK FOR A MISSION STATEMENT  TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE SITE,ITS PURPOSE AND THE ORGANIZATION SPONSORING IT.
• IF THERE IS AN AUTHOR LISTED, LOOK FOR A BIOGRAPHY THAT DISCUSSES THE AUTHORS EDUCATION, PROFESSION AND OTHER RELEVANT BACKGROUND. IF THERE IS NO BIO ON THE SITE, SEARCH FOR ONE ELSEWHERE ON THE WEB.
• CHECK THE DATE. FACTS CAN CHANGE OVER TIME,SO SEE IF THE SITE SHOWS WHEN IT WAS LAST UPDATED.
• PRESENTATION COUNTS; LOOK AT EVERYTHING FROM DESIGN TO SPELLING. A CLEAN, WELL-ORGANIZED SITE SHOWS A CERTAIN DEGREE OF PROFESSIONALISM.
• AVOID SITES THAT ARE PORNOGRAPHIC, VULGAR, INAPPROPRIATE, BELOW BAR, SUGGESTIVE, AND FALSIFYING.

READ BETWEEN THE LINES
MAKE A JUDGEMENT ABOUT THE SITES RELIABILITY BASED ON YOUR OWN ANALYSIS OF THE SITE AND THE INFORMATION IT CONTAINS. HERE ARE SOME WAYS TO DO THIS:

• LOOK FOR FACTS YOU KNOW OR CAN CHECK WITH A TRUSTED SOURCE. IF THE SITE GETS THOSE FACTS ON THE SITE ARE ALSO ACCURATE.
• STUDY THE LANGUAGE USED. IS IT ANGRY, SATIRIC OR OVERLY IMPASSIONED? THIS MAY INDICATE THAT THE SITE IS BIASED.
• CONSIDER WHETHER THE ARGUMENTS ARE LOGICAL AND HOOKED UP BY EVIDENCE AND WHETHER THE SITE PRESENTS ONLY ONE POINT OF VIEW.
• CHECK THE LINKS TO THE SOURCES THAT THE AUTHOR ACKNOWLEDGES. SCHOLARLY WRITING, WHETHER IN PRINT OR ONLINE, SHOULD INCLUDE A BIOGRAPHY.

·         DOT-COM IS NOT ONLY FOR BUSINESSES: ANYONE CAN USE IT. DOT-COMS INCLUDE WELL-KNOWN AND RESPECTED COMPANIES, BUT ALSO PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS.

·         DOT-ORG USUALLY INDICATES A NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION. MANY DOT-ORGS PRESENT UNBIASED INFORMATION, BUT OTHERS HAVE POLITICAL AGENDAS, FOCUS ON THE DEBATABLE ISSUES INSTEAD OF FACTS, AND MIGHT NOT PRESENT ALL SIDES OF AN ARGUMENT.

·         DOT-GOV INDICATES A GOVERNMENT WEBSITE AT THE FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL LEVEL. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS A GOOD SOURCE OF STATISTICS, AND ITS SITES ARE WIDELY CONSIDERED AMONG THE MOST RELIABLE.

·         DOT-MIL IS USED BY SITES USED BY THE MILITARY.

·         DOT-EDU USUALLY INDICATES A UNIVERSITY WEBSITE. WHILE ITS PUBLISHED RESEARCH IS GENERALLY CONSIDERED VERY TRUSTWORTHY, ANYONE ASSOCIATED WITH THE UNIVERSITY, WHETHER A WORLD-RENOWNED SCHOLAR OF FRESHMAN, CAN BE GIVEN SPACE ON ITS SERVER.

USING THE WEB WISELY

THANKS TO THE WEB, INFORMATION IS EASY TO FIND. HOWEVER, IT’S ALSO EASY TO POST SOMETHING ONLINE. ANYONE CAN DO IT.

YOU'VE PROBABLY USED THE INTERNET TO DO RESEARCH FOR A PAPER, TO HELP YOU DECIDE WHICH PRODUCT TO BUY, OR TO FORM AN OPINION ABOUT CURRENT EVENTS. LOOKING UP INFORMATION ONLINE IS FAST AND CONVENIENT  BUT WHEN YOU DO ONLINE RESEARCH.IT’S IMPORTANT TO FIND SITES YOU CAN TRUST.

MANY WEBSITES CLAIM TO HAVE THE FACTS, BUT ARE FULL OF ERRORS. OTHERS PRESENT INFORMATION IN A BIASED WAY—THEY ONLY GIVE ONE SIDE OF AN ARGUMENT. HOW CAN YOU TELL A RELIABLE SOURCE FROM AN UNRELIABLE ONE? ALSO, IT IS CRITICAL THAT YOU POST ONLINE ONLY THAT WHICH IS DESCENT AND APPROPRIATE, NEVER ANYTHING PORNOGRAPHIC, VULGAR, INDECENT, OUT OF TASTE, UNTRUTHFUL, OR OBSCENE. POST THOSE THINGS THAT WILL MAKE A GOOD NAME FOR YOU AND YOUR ORGANIZATION, THAT WILL PROMOTE GOODWILL AND BE OF BENEFIT TO THE WORLD.

ASKING QUESTIONS TO YOURSELF, TO THE TEACHER, AND TO OTHERS, IS A GREAT LEARNING METHOD. WHEN YOU CEASE TO ASK QUESTIONS, YOU CEASE TO EXIST TO A GREAT EXTENT. READ ACTIVELY BY SILENTLY ASKING QUESTIONS AS YOU READ. QUESTIONING IMMERSES YOU INTO THE MATERIAL YOU ARE READING AND THEREFORE WILL EXPAND YOUR MENTAL CAPACITIES MORE THAN ALMOST ANYTHING.

THE PHILOSOPHER SIR FRANCIS BACON SAID,” KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.” IMPROVING YOUR READING COMPREHENSION IS THE KEY TO GAINING IMPORTANT TO KNOWLEDGE AND MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR EDUCATION. SO PICK UP A BOOK AND…  A PEN.

"WHEN I WAS TEACHING BASKETBALL, I URGED MY PLAYERS TO TRY THEIR HARDEST TO IMPROVE ON THAT VERY DAY, TO MAKE THAT PRACTICE A MASTERPIECE. THIS RULE IS EVEN MORE IMPORTANT IN LIFE THAN BASKETBALL. YOU HAVE TO APPLY YOURSELF EACH DAY TO BECOME A LITTLE BETTER. BY APPLYING YOURSELF TO THE TASK OF BECOMING A LITTLE BETTER EACH AND EVERY DAY OVER A PERIOD OF TIME, YOU WILL BECOME A LOT BETTER. ONLY THEN WILL YOU BE ABLE TO APPROACH BEING THE BEST YOU CAN BE. IT BEGINS BY TRYING TO MAKE EACH DAY COUNT AND KNOWING YOU CAN NEVER MAKE UP FOR A LOST DAY."

THE QUOTE MEANS THAT IMPROVING YOURSELF TO BECOME MUCH BETTER IS BETTER THAN WINNING GAMES OR MONEY. HE FEELS THAT IMPROVING A PERSON IS ALL THE FORTUNE YOU NEED IN LIFE. WITHOUT IMPROVEMENT HOW DO WE EXPECT TO GET BETTER.

TIP 3: DO RESEARCH

LITERARY CRITICS HAVE WRITTEN VAST NUMBERS OF ANALYTICAL AND CRITICAL PIECES ON COUNTLESS BOOKS. IF YOU’RE HAVING TROUBLE UNDERSTANDING A PARTICULAR TEXT, DO SOME RESEARCH AND SEE WHAT KNOWLEGEABLE SOURCES YOU’LL ALSO BE SHOWING INITIATIVE, SOMETHING TEACHERS ALWAYS LIKE TO SEE. ALWAYS WAS LEGITIMATE AND SCHOLARLY SOURCES, NOT CONDENSED STUDY GUIDES.

TIP 4: USE A DICTIONARY

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ACCESS TO A DICTIONARY WHEN YOU’RE READING. YOU CAN OFTEN FIGURE OUT THE MEANING OF UNFAMILIAR WORD BY USING CONTEXT CLUES, BUT SOMETIMES YOU CAN’T. RATHER THAN SIMPLY SKIPPING OVER THE WORDS YOU DON’T KNOW, TAKE TIME TO LOOK THEM UP. THE RESULTS ARE WELL WORTH THE EFFORT. YOUR COMPREHENSION WILL INCREASE GREATLY, AND YOU’LL BUILD YOUR VOCABULARY AT THE SAME TIME.

5 TIPS FOR SUCCESS

READING AND WRITING GO HAND IN HAND. THE BETTER YOU UNDERSTAND A TEXT, THE MORE LIKELY YOU ARE TO SUCCESSFULLY COMMUNICATE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT IT IN WRITING. SO IT’S IMPORTANT TO DEVELOP STRONG SKILLS IN BOTH AREAS. WITH THAT IN MIND, HERE’S HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR READING COMPREHENSION.

                   TIPS 1-2

TIP 1: ANNOTATE

BE AN ACTIVE READER.INSTEAD OF PASSIVELY READING A TEXT, TAKE NOTES ABOUT IMPORTANT STORY ELEMENTS, KEY FACTUAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT IDEAS IN THE TEXT.

TIP 2: NOTE THE AUTHORS WRITING STYLE

EVERY AUTHOR WRITES WITH A PURPOSE, USING DELIBERATE METHODS TO SUCCESSFULLY RELATE SPECIFIC INFORMATION TO THE AUDIENCE.WHEN YOU’RE READING, LOOK FOR PATTERNS IN THE AUTHOR’S WRITING. FOR EXAMPLE, YOU MAY NOTICE A REPETITION OF KEY WORDS, PHRASES OR SYMBOLS—OR THE USE OF A DISTINCT TYPE OF SENTENCE STRUCTURE. AUUTHORS EMPLOY THESE WRITING STRATEGIES TO HELP READERS COMPREHEND A CENTRAL ARGUMENT OR THEME, SO BE SURE TO EXPLORE HOW THESE TECHNIQUES CREATE MEANING.

IF YOU’RE HAVING TROUBLE WRITING A 25 PAGE PAPER FOR CLASS BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE SUCH A BIG JOB, DON’T FOCUS ON THE FINAL NUMBER. BREAK THE PAPER DOWN AND CONSIDER EACH SECTION OF YOUR PAPER INDIVIDUALLY. YOU CAN HANDLE ANY PROJECT IN SMALL CHUNKS.

                4. FIND A SOCIAL SUPPORT NETWORK

CREATE A GROUP OF PEOPLE AROUND YOU WHO WANT TO HELP YOU SUCCEED. MENTORS CAN BE TEACHERS OR FAMILY FRIENDS WHO CAN GIVE YOU GUIDANCE AND HELP YOU DEVELOP NEW SKILLS. COUNSELORS CAN HELP YOU WITH PLANNING YOUR COURSES AND STARTING TO EXPLORE COLLEGES. YOU CAN ALSO REACH OUT TO FRIENDS AND PEERS WHO CAN MOTIVATE YOU BY LISTENING AND SHARING IDEAS.

5. ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS

GIVE YOURSELF A QUICK REWARD WHEN YOU COMPLETE AN ASSIGNMENT OR TASK. TAKE A WALK, SEND AN EMAIL, GET A SNACK. THEN MOVE ON TO THE NEXT PROJECT.

"THE THREE NEVERS"
             -JOHN WOODEN
                                                   NEVER LIE
                                                   NEVER CHEAT
                                                   NEVER STEAL

TO ME THE THREE NEVERS ARE VERY IMPORTANT IF YOU WANT TO BECOME SOMEONE IN LIFE A IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A GOOD NAME FOR YOURSELF. IF YOU WANT TO BE ACCEPTED WITH OPEN ARMS FOLLOW THE THREE NEVERS.




EXAMPLE: IF SOMEONE IS APPLYING FOR A JOB IN COSCO AND THEY CHECK UP THAT PERSONS RECORD AND IT SAYS IN JAIL FOR STEALING AND POSSESION OF A DEADLY WEAPON. COSCO IS NOT GOING TO WANT TO HIRE THAT PERSON THEY ARE GOING TO TURN HIM DOWN.

5 TIPS FOR STAYING MOTIVATED TIPS 1-2

5 TIPS FOR STAYING MOTIVATED

TIPS 1-2

TO SUCCEED IN HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE, YOU HAVE TO DO YOUR BEST AT ALL TIMES. BUT SOMETIMES IT’S HARD TO STAY MOTIVATED, EVEN WHEN YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT THE WORK YOU’RE DOING. HERE ARE FIVE WAYS TO STAY ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

1.      FOCUS ON HIGH-IMPACT ACTIVITIES

THE KEY TO SUCCESS IN SCHOOL IS STAYING FOCUSED ON YOUR COURSE WORK. MAKE A LIST TO GET AN OVERALL PICTURE OF YOUR WORKLOAD BEFORE YOU START TO TACKLE ANY OF IT. THEN, MAKE A PLAN. ALTHOUGH IT’S TEMPTING TO DO THE SIMPLEST ASSIGNMENTS FIRST, THOSE THAT TAKE MORE TIME AND EFFORT TO ACCOMPLISH ARE PROBABLY THE ONES THAT YOU’LL LEARN THE MOST FROM.

TO DETERMINE WHAT YOUR PRIORITIES ARE, RANK YOUR ASSIGNMENTS IN THE ORDER OF IMPORTANCE. THEN REARRANGE YOUR TIME AND DEVOTE MORE ENERGY TOWARD THOSE THAT HAVE THE GREATEST IMPACT ON YOUR COURSE WORK AND GRADES. FOR EXAMPLE, EVEN THOUGH ALL HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS ARE IMPORTANT, STUDYING FOR A MIDTERM EXAM TAKES PRIORITY OVER WRITING A PARAGRAPH FOR ENGLISH CLASS. AS YOU COMPLETE EACH TASK, THINK OF IT AS ANOTHER STEP ON YOUR WAY TO COLLEGE SUCCESS.

2.      CREATE NEW CHALLENGES

CHANGING YOUR APPROACH CAN HELP YOU STAY INTERESTED IN WHAT YOU’RE DOING. IF YOU’VE BEEN GIVEN AN ASSIGNMENT SIMILAR TO ONE YOU’VE DONE IN THE PAST, THINK ABOUT IT IN A DIFFERENT WAY. IF YOU WROTE AN ESSAY FOR A CREATIVE WRITING ASSIGNMENT LAST YEAR, TRY A POEM THIS TIME. FOR BOOK REPORTS, PICK A HISTORY BOOK INSTEAD OF ANOTHER BIOGRAPHY.

"BE ALWAYS SURE YOU'RE RIGHT, THEN GO AHEAD."
                                                    -DAVY CROCKETT(1786-1836)
I FEEL THE QUOTE IS SAYING IF YOU KNOW WHAT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO GO AHEAD AND DO IT BECAUSE YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE TIME TO HESITATE. IF YOUR SURE YOU ARE HEADED TO THE RIGHT PATH THEN DO IT. I KIND OF DISAGREE WITH HIM BECAUSE YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW WHAT IS RIGHT OR WRONG IN SOME CASES.

EXAMPLE: IF YOU NEED TO CHOOSE BETWEEN SAVING SOMEONE IN YOUR FAMILY AND LEAVING SOMEONE BEHIND.

                                              PART 2

KEEP THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE

KNOW HOW MUCH WEIGHT EACH ASSIGNMENT OR TEST CARRIES, AND USE YOUR TIME ACCORDINGLY. DON’T WASTE TIME, BUT BE WISE AND SMART. DOING THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS FIRST IS BEING WISE AND SMART.

GET MORE INVOLVED

KEEP YOUR MIND FROM WANDERING BY TAKING NOTES, UNDERLINING SECTIONS, DISCUSSING TOPICS WITH OTHERS OR RELATING YOUR HOMEWORK TO SOMETHING YOU’RE STUDYING IN ANOTHER CLASS. LEARN ACTIVELY AND NOT PASSIVELY. BE ANXIOUSLY ENGAGED IN YOUR STUDIES AND YOU WILL HAVE A GREAT EXPERIENCE. DEMONSTRATE A GOOD ATTITUDE TOWARD HOME ASSIGNMENTS, AND YOU WILL BEGIN TO LOVE DOING IT.

ORGANIZE THE INFORMATION

PEOPLE PROCESS INFORMATION IN DIFFERENT WAYS.SOME PEOPLE LIKE TO DRAW PICTURES OR CHARTS TO DIGEST INFORMATION, OTHERS PREFER TO READ OUT LOUD OR MAKE DETAILED OUTLINES. TRY TO FIND THE METHODS THAT WORK BEST FOR YOU. ASK YOUR TEACHER FOR RECOMMENDATIONS IF YOU’RE HAVING TROUBLE.

"CHARACTER IS HIGHER THAN INTELLECT"

I AGREE WITH THE QUOTE BECAUSE YOU CAN BE VERY SMART AND STILL BE COMMITTING CRIMES. CHARACTER IS WHAT SHOWS PEOPLE THE GOOD SIDE OF YOU. INTELLECT MIGHT BE VERY USEFUL TO OTHERS BUT CHARACTER IS WHAT HELPS YOU BECOME SOMEONE IN LIFE.


YOU CAN BE SMART AND GET LOCKED UP

BUT WITH CHARACTER YOU ARE SOMEONE.

                     SO IT DOESN'T CONTROL YOU

                                             PART 1

ALTHOUGH VERY STUDENTS LOVE HOMEWORK, IT DOES SERVE A PURPOSE. HOMEWORK HELPS YOU:

·         REINFORCE WHAT YOU'VE LEARNED DURING THE DAY.

·         BUILD STUDY HABITS THAT ARE ESSENTIAL IN COLLEGE.

·         PREPARE FOR YOUR CLASSES.

·         GET A SENSE OF PROGRESS.

HERE ARE SOME TIPS TO HELP YOU DEAL WITH HOMEWORK MORE EFFICIENTLY AND EFFECTIVELY.

SET THE MOOD

CREATE A GOOD STUDY ARE WITH EVERYTHING YOU NEED (FOR EXAMPLE, A CALCULATOR). IF YOU DON’T HAVE A QUIET PLACE AT HOME, TRY YOUR SCHOOL OR LOCAL LIBRARY.

KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN

MAKE A LIST OF EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO DO, AND NOTE ALL DEADLINES. DO THE MORE DIFFICULT ASSIGNMENTS FIRST, SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO FACE THEM AT THE END.

STUDY AT THE SAME TIME EVERYDAY

EVEN IF YOU DON’T HAVE HOMEWORK EVERY NIGHT, USE THE TIME TO REVIEW NOTES. IF SITTING DOWN TO WORK IS PART OF YOUR ROUTINE, YOU’LL APPROACH IT WITH LESS DREAD. ALSO, YOU’LL BECOME A PRO AT USING TIME PRODUCTIVELY.

ONCE YOU'VE DONE ALL OF THE ABOVE, YOU’LL FIND YOU'VE CREATED YOUR OWN PERSONALIZED STUDY GUIDE. COVER THE MAIN SECTION OF THE PAGE AND USE THE KEY WORDS AND QUESTIONS IN THE LEFT MARGIN AS A QUIZ.

STICK TO IT

REVIEW YOUR NOTES THE DAY YOU TAKE THEM AND ALL YOUR NOTES ONCE A WEEK.THAT WAY YOU WON’T NEED TO STUDY AS MUCH WHEN IT’S TIME TO TEST TIME. YOU'VE BEEN DOING THE WORK ALL ALONG. TRY OUT THE CORNELL SYSTEM, BUT IF IT DOESN'T WORK FOR YOU, EXPERIMENT WITH OTHER METHODS. ASK YOUR CLASSMATES HOW THEY TAKE NOTES OR ASK A TEACHER FOR ADVICE. TAKING GOOD NOTES REQUIRES PRACTICE, LIKE ANY OTHER SKILL. AND THE MORE YOU WORK AT IT NOW, THE BETTER MORE PREPARED YOU’LL BE TO TAKE NOTES IN COLLEGE.
