If you feel you do not naturally have all those characteristics, then do not despair. Each of them can be accomplished by your own application. You can use meditation and visualization techniques to initiate your vision, and they can certainly be learned both for that purpose and for each step you take to reach your goals. Simply visualize your desired goals, that of being a star student, a champion of doing what is right, and see yourself working hard to become outstanding and you’re your dreams and vision will materialize as you purse these objectives. Setting goals and objectives can be a personal or business technique that can be learnt. You can develop inner strength to succeed if you apply yourself to doing just that; that will enable you to recover from setbacks more easily.

Acquiring the Habits of Highly Successful Students

Part 12

What is important to you is that you, as you start to reach milestones in your ambitions, you appreciate your own achievements. It is a boost, of course, if others appreciate what you have done too, but appreciating yourself will strengthen your self-belief, and reinforce your determination to succeed. Some of the key characteristics you will find in those who are successful are perseverance, prepared to research, plan and work hard, practice a lot even when things do not seem to be going so well, and an ability to recover and learn from setback. At the outset of whatever  it is you are trying to succeed in, a strong vision of your future, planning, and setting yourself achievable targets can all play an important role.

Acquiring the habits of highly successful students part 11

Weather studying or in general life, planning is an imperative skill. Here, we must strictly set the hours for studying, and should promote regularity in doing so.  Don’t put off your studies to the last moment (just before the test), because in that moment you will be feeling stress and pressure, and both factors will prove disturbing for your learning; that’s the high price of procrastination. During the exam, it’s important to forget about panic and stress. And if you are planning for your thesis, you may find this post useful. Other planning tip I frequently give is that, when you are assigned a homework, try to solve it as quickly as possible, several days before the required date, but don’t try to complete it perfectly and don’t submit it immediately. I always recommend doing homework early, but deliver it at the last possible day.

The importance of being prompt


The importance of being prompt

Estrella
It’s good to be quick and on time for things because then life just gets easier for you and everyone around you. And you will get prompt every time you do something good and right that’s why when someone tells you to do something you do it at that time and correctly the first time. Many people do things half bad and half good which that’s not the way to do things at all do it right the first time correctly and later on you will get rewarded for it. Many people just have to be patient to get things in return but many of us are not patient and that is when people start getting meaner and meaner. Many adults especially get inpatient and don’t appreciate what is given to them but many of us teens appreciate it. Yet many of us just take and take but don’t give back anything. Anyways it’s better if everyone just does everything quick and right the first time they ask us or tell us to do it. Many of us teenagers do everything bad and want to get rewarded right away with things we want or need, but life doesn’t work that way to get we got to give back. My dad always said that to receive you must give and then if you do it good then you will get rewarded.  Many people think everything will be given to you but that’s not how it works if you want it work for it earn it and then you will be very successful in life. Life everyone takes that for granted and they should but do something with your life e but something good not like selling drugs or robbing stores. Teenagers must choose the right and be successful!

·        They prefer tasks with some degree of difficulty and novelty, which stimulate their learning skills.

·        They don’t apply the simple criteria of success-fail to their learning. Remember, they are focused into the learning process.

·        They know how to handle groups.

·        Finally, they work with passion.  

Other chief habit is that of asking questions. We have to establish hypothesis and set concrete, realistic goals. After reading any text we have to ask several different questions related to its content, in order to verify if we have completely understood the text. It’s also important to try to relate such text and others area of our knowledge. Again, linking ideas and concepts is a habit of highly successful students. So, link

A result is a very brief moment of life, while learning to develop process is a skill that will last for the whole life.

·        They interpret and analyze errors as a way of increasing their learning, i.e., they try to learn from their mistakes. This way, they see errors and failures as opportunities.

·        They look for the required information in several channels (books, journals, newspapers, experts, internet, and so on.)

·        They consult experts and teachers frequently. This action provides a new perspective about the studied topics.

·         Everyone wants to be successful in life, but where are the keys to success? Do we have to go out and search for those keys, or do we have those potentials already within ourselves? When we begin to examine life, we can see that it is divided into two aspects-life within and life without; internal life and external life-and we can see that these aspects are of equal importance. Even if we renounced the world, gone far away from civilization, and live in the wilderness doing nothing but meditation, we cannot ignore external life. We still have to see that we eat, do our ablutions, and preform our practices on time. So life in the external world is as important as life in the internal world.

If you prefer to play videogames, then remember that making any game requires to prepare a detailed script including history, characters, goals and relations. Therefore, you could start writing down the script for your “dream” game. On the other side, you could imagine how the novel you are reading could be transformed into a videogame (start out by thinking which gaming genre fits the novel better: role –playing, adventure, action, and so on.) The basic idea is to find match points and links between our affections and our chores. And such links there always exist. Remember, to link ideas and the concept is the most important habit for successful students.

Successful students also exhibit other particular traits we should internalize:

The importance of taking personal responsibilities


The importance of taking personal responsibilities

It is important to take responsibility for your actions because if you did something wrong has the guts to admit you messed up. Then when you admitted you did something wrong in the inside you will feel good and proud of yourself.  Everyone in this world has responsibilities that everyone has to take care of and that’s just part of life that everyone has to go through and we can’t stop it you must take responsibility for your actions of what you say or do and it’s not anybody else’s fault if you get in trouble or locked up in jail. If you be good and take responsibility for your actions then good things will come out of it even if you did something bad admit that you screwed up and have the courage to say “Yes I did it and what?”.  Responsibility is a duty or obligation that one must complete or do in order to do something with your life and be successful in life and successful in the future. Yet if you do not complete your responsibilities then life will just be a living hell and you will not succeed in life at all and not have a good future at all and life to you will be unfair, dull, boring and bad.

The body is related to the mind. The body, breathes, senses, and mind all function together as a unit. So life virtually means relationship, and thus the art of living and being requires an understanding of one’s relationship to the external world and the relationships within oneself.

All human beings have inner potentials, but many people are not aware of those potentials and do not know how to use them to have a successful life. Those who are not happy internally can never be happy externally; those who are not happy within themselves can never make others happy. Those who do not love themselves can never love others.

“The harmful effects of smoking”

stop smoking
“The harmful effects of smoking”

Smoking is very harmful because it kills your lungs and you can die from that. If you keep smoking it ruins your life it literally kills your life. And if you have children most likely they will end up smoking too because YOU are showing them that that is choosing the right even though it’s wrong. And if you keep smoking eventually you will be addicted to it and won’t be able to quit when you want to get your life together and be healthier. Once that little cigarette tells you “Smoke me I’m good” you will be hooked on it for life and that’s just hurting your lungs and then your body is going to quit on you and then you’re going to die. So please I recommend you not to smoke and please keep your body healthy and live a long happy life.

If we are to succeed in life, we must hone our learning skills.

1. The first step in this direction is to sincerely point out the driving force or motivation. Let’s relax, and start listing the reasons that impel you to study same topic, as crude as they may be. Its possible that your list is empty. Don’t worry, it only means that you have not identified any reason to study the chosen and very specific point (It’s for sure that you are an excellent learner in other areas of life.) If you don’t have any motivation to study, then give me the list of reasons why you don’t want to study, and please note that this list cannot be empty. Weather you found a huge list of driving forces or a list of reasons for not studying, the end product of this step comprises at least one item (a positive or negative driving force)

Successful students take charge of their lives and balance their time between fun and work. They know that there is a time for all-nighters, and it’s not during finals week.

Successful Students Take Care of Themselves Do you live on junk food and lay on the couch watching TV every night? Students with poor physical habits probably don’t feel very energetic in the mornings, and they probably don’t feel good sitting in class either.

Good food and a little exercise will clear your head! Students who eat junk in moderation (you really don’t have to cut it out completely) and work out in some way are more likely to participate in sports. That means they have more balance in their lives, feel better in the mornings, and are more alert in class. , feel better in the mornings, and are more alert in class.

You just have to change a few habits to feel better. Eat healthy foods, start walking more, take a yoga class, enroll in martial arts classes, or challenge yourself to do sit-ups at night. You’ll notice a change right away.

Secrets of successfull students part 1

Secrets of successful students

Part 1

It’s a matter of taking charge of your time and destiny!

Have you ever wondered what successful students do to set themselves apart from the rest? The key is simple: successful students take charge of their own success.

There is no magic trick, power drink, or special class that makes a student excel in the classroom. Students stand out because they take charge of their time and their tasks, without relying on anybody else to tell them what to do.

Successful Students Control their calendars. Successful students don’t rely on parents or teachers to tell them when assignments are due or when test dates are approaching. They mark special dates in their calendars and keep track of commitments and schedules.

Successful students don’t put others in charge of their lives. Successful Students Prioritize

The “C” Student


The “C” Student

Part 3

6. Effort: “C” students are capable of sufficient effort, but either fail to realistically evaluate the effort needed to accomplish a task successfully, or lack the desire to meet the challenge. They put forth very little effort. They don’t realize that they will be rewarded according the amount of effort they put into a project. Little effort=bad results.

7. COMMUNICATIONS: “C” students communicate in ways that often limit comprehension or risk misinterpretation. Ideas are not well formulated before they are expressed. Poor listening/reading habits inhabit matching inquiry and response.

8. RESULTS: “C” students obtain mediocre or inconsistent results on tests. They have some concept of what is going on but clearly have not mastered the material.

·       Essential Test-Taking Advice

Try out these strategies while you’re still in high school, and by the time you get to collage, you’ll be a test-taking expert.

·       Before the test

Eat well.

Studies show that you need good nutrition to concentrate and preform your best.

·       Bring the right supplies.

Bring your pencils, erasers, pens, rulers, compasses, calculators or whatever else you need on test day.

·       Review the whole test before you start

See how many sections and what types questions are on the test. Determine how much time to allow for completing each section.

·       Jot down your first thoughts.

During your first scan of the test, make quick notes about your thoughts. For example, you may want to outline your answers to written-response and essay questions right away.

·       During the test

Read directions.

It’s important that you follow the instructions exactly. For Example, some questions may have more than one correct answer.

·       Answer easy questions first.

Doing this can jog your memory about useful facts. You may also come across information that can help you with other questions.

·       Answer every question.

Unless there is a penalty for wrong answers, try to answer every question; you may be able to get partial credit for those you begin but don’t complete correctly.

·       Ask questions.

If a question isn’t clear, talk to your teacher. If that’s not possible, explain your answer in the margin.

·       Identify key words.

This helps you focus on the main idea of challenging questions.

·       Rephrase difficult questions

To understand questions better, rewrite them in your own words. Be careful not to change the meaning.

·       Organize your thoughts before you write

Take time to organize your response to short-answers and essay questions. You’ll reduce the time you need to revise.

·       Write neatly

Be sure you don’t lose points on answers the teacher can’t read.

Use  all  the  time  you’re  given.

If  you  finish  early, don’t  leave. Use  the  extra  time.
