"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.

                                                                                                 -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.

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.

"START WITH WHAT IS RIGHT RATHER THAN WHAT IS ACCEPTABLE."

                                                                                                       -PETER F. DRUCKER

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.

"TO BE GREAT--CONCENTRATE."
                 -ORSON SWEET MARDIN

THE QUOTE IS PRETTY MUCH SAYING TO BEHAVE AND DO WHAT YOU ARE TOLD SO YOU CAN SUCCEED AND ACCOMPLISH YOUR GOALS MUCH FASTER AND EASIER.

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.

TO ME WHAT ANON IS TRYING TO SAY IS THAT EDUCATION IS NO TIME TO SLACK OF YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO TRY YOUR BEST AND NEVER GIVE UP.THE PEOPLE IN THE MARATHON DO NOT GIVE UP SO WHY SHOULD WE.WE SHOULD ALWAYS CONTINUE TO DO WHATS RIGHT AND NEVER GET TEMPTED TO CHOOSE WHAT WE KNOW IS WRONG. 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.

TOGETHER
EVERYONE

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. YOU SYNERGIZE YOUR TALENTS, KNOWLEDGE, AND SKILLS WITH THOSE WHOM YOU WORK. ALL MEMBERS OF THE TEAM ARE EDIFIED TOGETHER, A TYPE OF EDIFICATION YOU CAN'T OBTAIN BY WORKING ALONE.

" THE MAN WHO HAS NO IMAGINATION HAS NO WINGS"
                                                                               -MUHAMMAD ALI

THE QUOTE IS SAYING IF YOU DO NOT GO ABOVE AND BEYOND YOU WILL NEVER GOING TO BECOME WHAT YOU WANT TO BE. YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOVE AND BEYOND SO YOU CAN REACH TRUE SUCCESS AND BE SUCCESSFUL. TO GO ABOVE AND BEYOND TAKES YOU PLACES YOU WILL NEVER BELIEVE.

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.

"NOTHING IN THE WORLD CAN TAKE THE PLACE OF PERSISTENCE. TALENT WILL NOT; NOTHING IS MORE COMMON THAN UNSUCCESSFUL MEN WITH TALENT. GENIUS WILL NOT; THE WORLD IS FULL OF EDUCATED DERELICTS.

                                    -CALVIN COOLIDGE, 30TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

THE QUOTE IS TRYING TO TELL PEOPLE THAT PERSISTENCE IS WHAT HELPS YOU IMPROVE AND KEEP ON GOING. WITHOUT IT WE WOULD NOT BE SO FAR IN TECHNOLOGY AS WE ARE NOW. WITHOUT IT WE WILL NOT HAVE SOME OF THE GREAT LEADERS WE HAVE NOW.

WRITING SKILLS

1 OF 10
COMMUNICATION IS AT THE TOP OF THE LIST OF SKILLS THAT EMPLOYERS LOOK FOR. AND COMMUNICATION IN THE WORKPLACE OFTEN MEANS WRITING.
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.
SO, BY TAKING WRITING SERIOUS AND DOING YOUR BEST ON EVERY RESEARCH PAPER, EVERY LAB REPORT YOU WRITE, VERY NEW POST YOU WRITE IN YOUR BLOG SITE, AND EVERY WRITING ACTIVITY YOU ENGAGE IN, YOU'RE PREPARING YOURSELF FOR A GOOD CAREER.

IF YOU KNOW YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING THAT IS COURAGEOUS AND YOU FEEL IT IS RIGHT THEN GO FOR IT. COURAGEOUS PEOPLE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO BECOME HEROES.

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.

ONLINE LEARNING PART 1

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-WHAT?

LOOK AT THE SITE’S ADDRESS. WHAT FOLLOWS THE DOT?

·         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. PROFESSORS SOMETIMES PUT STUDENT COURSE WORK UP ON THE WEB, BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN THEY’RE VOUCHING FOR THE INFORMATION’S ACCURACY.

·         WHAT ARE THE AUTHORS QUALIFICATIONS FOR WRITING ON THE SUBJECT?

·         HAS THE ARTICLE PASSED THROUGH AN EDITORIAL PROCESS DESIGNED TO ENSURE QUALITY AND ACCURACY?

·         WHAT IS THE WEBSITE’S PURPOSE? LOOK FOR MOTIVES-LIKE SELLING PRODUCTS OR WINNING VOTES-THAT COULD RESULT IN BIASED OR INCOMPLETE INFORMATION.

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.
