Student Responsibilities Part 3

 

         What is important to you is that you, as you start to reach milestone 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 perservance, prepared to research, plan and work hard, practice a lot even when things do not seem to be going well, and an ability to recover and learn from setbacks. At the outset of whatever it is to you are trying to succeed in, a strong vision of your future, planning, and setting yourself achievable targets can all play an important role.  

If you feel you do not normally have all those characteristics, then don’t despair. Each of them can be accomplished by your own application. You can use meditation and visualization techniques to imitate your vision, and they can certainly be learned both for that purpose and for each step you take to reach your goal. Setting goals and objectives 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.
