“Success is Dependent On Effort.”  --Sophocles, Greek Dramatist

The quote is telling us that if you don’t have enough energy you won’t be close to that effort that some of us want. You have to do everything with effort and you will be happy of what comes out of it. So keep choosing the right!!!

How to take on college studying

Part 2

Choose where to study

-Where you should study depends on the two factors: the environment in which you are best able to concentrate and the types of work you are planning to do.

-The best places to study have good light, a comfortable temperature and enough desk space-usually your dorm room, your apartment or the library. ·For completing problems sets or brainstorming possible test questions, you may want to study with a group or at least in a setting where fellow students are available for discussion.

-When you are reading book chapters or research paper, you are probably better off in a less social environment.

Improve your study habits

-Here are simple steps you can take to help you get a handle on studying:

-Have a routine for where and when you study. -Choose reasonable and specific goals that you can accomplish for teach study session.

-do things that are harder or require more intense thought at your most productive time of day

-take breaks if you need them so you don’t waste time looking at material but not absorbing

-get to know students whom you respect and can study with or contact to ask questions

-keep up with the workload and seek help when you need it

“Choosing the right is always the right thing to do.”

--Alex Linares

                                        

Reflection:
What this statement probably means is that doing what is right is always right. In other words, doing the right decisions is the best thing to do. For example, if someone was asked to go to the movies, but they still need to finish their homework, the right thing to do would be to skip the movies and stay home to finish his/her homework. 

10 time management tips for students

Tips 5-10

Tip5: Review your notes every day.

 

Reviewing helps you reinforce what you’ve learn, so you need less time to study before a test.  You’ll also be ready if you get called on in class or have to take a pop quiz.

Tip 6. Get a good night sleep.

Your brain needs rest to perform at its peak. Lack of sleep makes the day feel longer and your tasks seem more difficult.

Tip 7. Communicate your schedule to others.

If phone calls and text messages are proving to be a distraction, tell your friends that you are

only available during certain times of the day and not to expect a response at other times.

Tip 8. Become a taskmaster.

Give yourself a time budget and plan your activities accordingly. Figure out how much free time you have each week before you add any commitments.

Tip 9. Don’t waste time agonizing.

Instead of agonizing and procrastinating, just do it. Wasting an entire evenings worrying about something that you’re supposed to be doing is not productive, and can increase your stress.

Tip 10. Determine your priorities.

You can’t do everything at once. Establish the importance of each item. Then set realistic goals that are attainable.

“It’s better to be alone than to be in bad company.” – ANON

What I understand with the post is that you rather have a lonely and good life than have friends and choose the wrong. I would rather choose to be lonely than deal with nonsense. People rather be lonely than to be with bad company.!!

Example: you have friends that make you drink and do drugs, but you don’t want to feel left out so you go ahead and do it. But you CTR and leave and rather be alone than do the wrong.

Organizing your life

Managing your time well is an important element of success—especially if you’re a student. If you set priorities that fit your needs and life style, you’ll have a better chance of achieving your goals. Here are some tips for taking control of your time and organizing your life.

Tip1: Make a to-do-list every day.

Put things that are most important at the top and do them first. And don’t forget to reward yourself for your accomplishments.

Tip2: Use spare minutes wisely.

When you’re commuting on the bus or train, use the time to get some reading done.

Tip3: It’s ok to say no.

If your friends ask you to go to a movie on a Thursday night and you have an exam the next morning, realize that it’s ok to say no. keep your short-and long term priorities in mind.

Tip4: Find the right time.

You’ll work more efficiently if you figure out when you do your best work. For example, if your brain handles math better in the afternoon, don’t wait to do it until late at night.

Student success statement

“Improvement begins with I.”

What this means is that when you improve on something is because you’re really good at it, but when you don’t you have to find something else you can do better at. If you think that school is a good thing you’re great at do it, and if you think your good in a sport do it, but if you think you are not at all great at anything pray to God and he wil be able to give you something you’re great and wonderful at.

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

Habit 7

Part 2

Habit 7: sharpen the saw

3. Heart: always do what is right so your heart, your conscience, will feel peaceful, when you

do the wrong, your conscience will prick you and create regretful sensations within your heart. When you do what you honestly feel, you won’t have any regrets. Your heart is your internal compass-it gives you direction and discernment. Just like a magnetic compass gives directions, even true north, your personal compass, your heart, will point you in the true north, the exact  

directions and paths you need to tread.

4. Soul: study scriptures and other sacred literature daily. In other words, feed your spirit because your spirit needs spiritual food just like your physical body needs temporal food to survive. Pondering, meditating, and reflecting are excellent soul-sharpening activities. Try writing your thoughts, feelings, aspiration, concerns, and decisions in a diary or journal writing helps you focus and make good decisions.

 Get into the habit of daily improving your body (physical fitness), your mind, your heart, and your soul.

“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” –Helen Keller

What this quote means is that you can’t do much while you work alone but when you put yourself and work with or as a team you can do much more than what you would have done alone. Work together and you will have so much more but work alone and you won’t have much but you’ll have something.

Habit 6

Habit 6: synergize

Synergize is achieved when two or more people work together to create something better than either cloud alone. Through this habit, teens learn it doesn’t have to be “your way” or “my way” but rather a better way, a higher way. Synergize allows teens to value differences and better appreciate others. Synergize is the reward, the delicious fruit you’ll taste as you get better at living the other habits, especially at thinking Win-Win and seeking first to understand. Learning to synergize is like learning to form V formations with others instead of trying to fly through life solo. You’ll be amazed at how much faster and farther you’ll go. Synergy doesn’t just happen. It’s a process. You have to get there. And the foundation of getting there is this: learn to celebrate differences.

A good band is a great example of synergy. It’s not just the drums, or the guitar, or the sax, or the vocalist, it’s all of them together that make up the “sound.” Each band member brings his or her strength to the table to create something better than each could alone. No instrument is more important than another, just different.

Student Success Statement

“So often in your quest to me more popular and to be part of the “in group,” we lose sight of things that are far more important.”

-Sean Covey

What I think happens when this thing comes to be a problem, but you don’t see it as a problem is that you lose focus on what truly matters in your future. You start to act different, and for what is the reason? So you can become popular, but that’s not the point if you want to be cool you can be cool on your own terms no one needs to tell you what to do, be unique and don’t let anyone tell how or when to change your life. Only God can, and when you think that it is too much temptation, praise the Lord and be patient about it, because things have their time and place. Be in a group that you think is better for you not for your popularity. CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!

Habit 5

5. Seek first to understand, and then to be understood

Because most people don’t listen very well, one of the great frustrations in life is that many don’t feel understood. This habit will ensure your teen learns the most important communication skill there is: active learning.

Why is this habit the key to communication? It’s because the deepest need of the human heart is to be understood. Everyone wants to be respected and valued for who they are-a unique, expose their soft middles unless they feel genuine love and understanding. Once they feel it, however, they will tell you more than you may want to hear. People don’t care how much you know until they know how you care. Listen with your eyes, heart, and ears. 7% of communication is contained in the words we use. The rest comes from body language (53 percent) and how we say words, of the tone and feeling reflected in our voice (40 percent).

Most people are eager to talk and had rather talk than listen. We have one mouth and two ears. This means we should listen twice as much as we talk. Learn to listen and listen and learn. Listen, really listen, for understanding.Seek first to understand then to be understood—

Habit 4

4. Think win-win

Teens can learn to foster the belief that it is possible to create an atmosphere of win-win in every relationship. This habit encourage the idea that in any given discussion or situation both parties can arrive at a mutually beneficial solution. Your teen will learn to celebrate the accomplishment of others instead of being threatened by them. Win-Win is a belief that everyone can win. It’s both nice and thought all at once. I won’t step on you, but I won’t be your doormat either. You care about other people and you want them to succeed. But you also care about yourself, and you want to succeed as well. Win-Win is abundant. It is the belief that there’s plenty of success to go around. It’s not either you or me. It’s both of us. It’s not a matter of who gets the biggest piece of the pie. Theirs more than enough food for everyone. It’s an all you can eat buffet. Win-win always creates more. Perhaps the most surprising benefits of thinking Win-Win is good feelings it brings on. The true test to whether you are thinking Win-Win or one of the alternatives how you feel. Win-lose and Lose-Win thinking will cloud your judgment and feel you with negative feeling.

Win-Win will fill your heart with happy and serene thought. It will give you confidence. Even fill you with light. Think Win-Win or no deal.

“You cannot do wrong and feel right. It’s impossible.”  --Ezra T. Benson

What I think of this is that it can’t and won’t be possible for you to do bad and then feel good. You just can’t because that will just stay in your conscience, you will think about it over and over again and you just won’t feel as great as if you did something good. So choose the right and make the right decision and you will be pure!

Habit 3

Habit 3: put first things first

 

Habit three is all about WILL and WILL NOT power. This habit helps teens prioritize and manage their time so that they focus on and complete the most important things in their lives. Putting first things first also means learning to overcome fears and being strong during difficult times. Its living life according to what matters most. Putting first things first deal with things that are: important or not important, urgent or not urgent. Let’s look at the four quadrants of tie management.

Quadrant 1: things that are important or urgent

Quadrant 2: things that are important but not urgent

Quadrant 3: things that are not important but are urgent

Quadrant 4: things that are not important and not urgent.

1.Important & urgent	2.Important but not urgent
3.Not important but are urgent	4.NOT important and NOT urgent

 

 

Quadrant 2 is the ideal place to spend your time, doing things that are important but not urgent. Here’s where priorities come into play. The results for living quadrant 2 are:

1.   Control your life

2.   Balance

3.   High performance

 

So in what quadrant are you spending most of your time? The key is to shift as much time as possible into quadrant 2 and this is accomplished by planning. Spend more time planning and incorporating the most important things first, things that matter most. Keep your eye on the prize and reach for it.

Habit 1

HABIT 1: Be Proactive

Being proactive is the key to unlocking the other habits. Help your teen take control and responsibility of her life. Proactive people understand that they are responsible for their own happiness or unhappiness. They don’t blame others for their own actions or feelings. Proactive people realize that the ball in their court, that they are the captain of their own ship; that they are in control of their decisions, thoughts, choices, decisions, goals, actions, and priorities. Proactive people are self-starters; they don’t wait to be told what to do, they press forward with enthusiasm toward the achievements or their assignments, their duties, their responsibilities, their obligation. Choosing to do what is write is a proactive decision. Obey the rules. Obey the law. Obey the coach. Obey the school policies. Obey your parents. Obey the exactness, and great things will come to you. Be proactive and take the initiative.

Student Success Statement

“You make your habits and your habits make you.” --Anon

Reflection: This saying is trying to say that whatever you do are the things that make you who you are. If you have good habits then you will be a good person but if you have bad habits then you will be considered a bad person. Like for example, if you have a bad habit of taking things that aren’t yours then by having that bad habit that makes you a bad person. So try to have good habits so people will know you are a good person.

Example 1: you can smoke and that makes you a bad person, or you can beat temptation and pray to God so that will make you a great person.

Example 2: you could be a follower and be bad or you can be a follower of JESUSCHRIST and be better than good, you can be wonderful!

7 habits of highly successful teens

By seen covey

For teens, life is not a playground, it’s a jungle. And, being the parent of teenagers isn’t any walk in the park, either. In his book, the 7 habits of highly effective teens, author Sean covey attempts to provide “a compass to help teens and their parents navigate the problems they encounter daily.”

How will they deal with peer pressure? Motivation? Success or lack thereof? The life of teenagers is full of tough issues and life_ changing decisions. As a parent, you are responsible to help them learn the principles and ethics that will help them to reach their goals and live a successful life.

While it’s all well and good to tell kids how to live lives, “teens watch what you do more than they listen to what you say.” Covey says. So practice what you preach. Your example can be very influential.

Cover himself had done well by following a parent’s example. His dad, Stephen covey, wrote the book the 7 habits of highly successful people, which sold over 5 million copies. Sean’s a chip off the old block, and no slacker. His own book has rung in more than respectable 2 million copies sold. Here are his seven habits, and some ideas for helping your teen understand and apply them:

What I understand from this is that if you do what’s wrong you won’t gain anything. You have to do what’s right in order to gain what you deserve, or else you won’t at all. That’s why you have to do everything right and you will gain wisdom and intelligence, choose the right 24/7!!

… owns or has easy access to a computer with internet access and e-mail

You don’t have to be a computer expert to be successful online learning- but you must have access to a personal computer with reliable internet access, as well as a basic level of competency in using them. Owing a computer with internet access from your home is ideal but many students use the computer lab on campus or at their offices to complete their work.

…has basic computer skills and is willing and open to learning new ones

We said you don’t have to be a computer expert to be successful in online learning. However, there are some basic technical skills you should have mastered prior to enrolling online in an online course.

<<<-----settle for whts right and for whats worth doing for.

I dint think it matters were you live and were you play it doesn’t matter because if you play in a bad place you won’t have to worry because you won’t have to stay there and live, but if you stay somewhere nice then that matters. Don’t settle for less but settle for more and you will have a good chance to achieve better things in life.

Example 1: if you have a good condition to work but wont because you dont like that lace, its a you have to work because you dont earn money to stay and live were  you work, you earn money to find some thing better.

Online learning can be a powerful, stimulant engaging experience for the student how can work and think independently. However, science most-if not

Reading and writing are the basis of most online courses, so it’s critical that you feel comfortable with this form of communication. While some courses contain modules that include video or other activities, all of them require significant amount of reading. And nearly all of your communication with your classmates and your instructor will be in writing. If these are weak areas for you, you will want to address those issues prior to enrolling or while enrolled in an online course. The PSU writing center is available to assist you.

10. Successful students are good time managers. Successful students do not procrastinate. They have learn that time control is life control and have consciously chosen to be in good control of their life.

An elemental truth: you will ether control time or be controlled by it! It’s your choice: you can lead or be led, establish control or relinquish control, steer your on course or follow others. Failure to take control of their own time is probably the no. 1 study skills program for college students. It ultimately causes many students to become non-students. Procrastinators are good excuse-makers. Don’t make academics harder on yourself than it has to be. Stop procrastinating. And don’t wait until tomorrow to do it!

The 10 items listed above are paraphrased from an article by Larry M Ludwig called the Ten Commandments for effective study skills which appeared in The Teaching Professor, December, 1992.
