Acquiring the habits of successful students

Part 13

If 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 medication 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 your dreams and vision will materialize as you peruse 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 by doing just that; that will enable you to recover from setbacks more easily

what i will do to graduate from high school


 

 

What will I do to graduate from
 
high school

 

What I will do to graduate from high school is simple, I would:

 

1. Do my homework for all of my classes before the due date, but turn it in at the last possible second

 

2. Ask a teacher for extra credit even if I have a good grade in class.

 

3. Always be on time for classes because If I arrive late I will miss knowledge that I need for tests and homework.

 

4. I will make sure if there are any future projects, and if there are I will pair myself with someone smart.

 

5. I will study for all of my tests and projects, and I won’t study them at the last minute and I also won’t do them alone, I will study with others to make sure that I get a good grade.

 

 6. I will join many clubs and after school activities so that I wouldn’t be doing things that I shouldn’t, be occupied, and put it on my résumé.

 

7. I will take good notes in class so that when there is a test I will have all of the information that I need so that I can get a good grade.

 

8. I will also do my best to study and practice what I am going to need for a test.

 

9. I will also do my volunteer time so I can graduate from high school and go to my dream college UCSB (university of Santa Barbra).

 

10. I can also ask for help if I need help with something in class or with my homework

 

All in all I would bust my but off in class so I can get all my credits done and my volunteer hours done. When you need help ask and someone will help you.

 

 

My class schedule for college.

Acquiring the habits of highly successful students

Part 12

 

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, but appreciates what you have done too, but appreciating yourself will strengthen your-belief and reinforce your determination to succeed. Some of the key characters 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 well, and an ability to recover and learn from setbacks. At the outset of whatever it is you are trying to succeed in, a strong vision of your future, planning, and setting yourself achieving targets can all play an important role.

Acquiring the habits of highly successful students

Part 11

Whether studying or in general life, planning is an imperative skill. Here, we must strictly set the hours for studying, and should promote regularly in doing so. Don’t  put off your studies to the last moment (just before he test), because in that moment you will be felling stress and pressure, and bot factors will provide disturbing for your learning; that’s the high price of procrastination. During the exam, it is important to forget about panic and stress. And if you are planning for your thesis, you may find this post useful. Other planning tips I frequently give is that, when you are assigned a homework, trying to solve it 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.

·         They prefer task with some degree of difficulty and novelty, which simulates 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 other areas of our knowledge. Again, linking ideas and concepts is a habit of highly successful students. So, link.

·         They concentrate on the process of solving the task and understanding the involved ideas. Of course we are interested in getting good results, but the process is more important. A result is a very brief moment of life, while learning to develop processes 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 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.

Acquiring the habits of highly successful students

Part 7

. Everyone wants to be successful in life, but where are the keys to success? Do we have to go out and search for these keys, or do we have those potentials within ourselves? When we begin to examine life, we can see that it’s divided into two aspects – life within and life without; internal life and external life – and we see that these aspects are of equal importance. Even if we have renounced the world, gone far away from civilization, and I live in the wilderness doing nothing meditation, we cannot ignore external life. We still have to see that we eat, do our ablutions, and perform 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 of your “dreams” game. On the other side, you could image now the novel you are reading could ba transformed into a videogame (start out by thinking which game genre fits the novel better: role playing, adventure, action, and so on.) 5the basic idea is to find match point and links between our affections and our chores. And such links there always exit. Remember, to link ideas and concepts is the most important habit for successful students.

Successful students also exhibit other particular traits we should internalize:

   The body is related to the breath, and the breath is related to the mind. The body, breath, senses, 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 relationship to the eternal world and the relationship 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 eternally; those who are not happy within themselves   can never make others happy. Those who do not love themselves can never love others.

Part 3

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 see that these aspects are of equal importance. Even if we have renounced the world, gone far 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. Even one who has renounced the world has to understand the word relationship properly, because life itself is actually a relationship

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 some topic, as crude as they may be. It’s 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 study, and please note that this list cannot be empty. Whether you found a huge list of driving forces or a list of reasons for not studying .the end products of this step comprise at least one item (a positive or negative driving force)

How Successful Students Prepare for Test

PART 2

8. Make summary sheets, flash cards, and practice test.

9. Always carry some kind of pocket work and make use of wasted spare minutes by reciting and thinking about what you are learning.

10. Learn something new or difficult in your strongest intelligence, sense or in your dominant hemisphere. Reinforce is with as many different ways as possible.

11.  Find a study guide partner or two in each class and routinely take turns teaching each other the material.

12. Prepare for each class as if there will be a pop quiz. The single most important way to prepare for a test is to study many days in advanced. Study each day to prepare for a test that is coming in a few days or weeks. When you are prepared, you will do great on the test and you will be confident.

How successful students prepare for tests
Part 1
Are you really doing what you can to prepare for tests? Re-reading the chapter and looking over your notes is not enough. Below is a list of tips for test preparation from successful students.
1.   Keep up to date with the assignments.
2.   Take notes in every class every day. This includes asking questions when you don’t understand.
3.   Process information as you comes to it. Learning information is much different than “becoming acquainted” with it.
4.   Process information systematically. Label in the margin works well for other people.
5.   Adapt to it, suit your learning styles. Capitalization on the discipline label in the margin requires and make it habit to process information from texts and lectures, not to go over it.
6.   Have a study place that is free of distractions.
7.   Have a specific time for initial study of each subject. You may need more than this time, but having a set time will save you time.

Student success statement
“Obedience lends to true freedom”
-James E. Faust
Reflection:
This quote means that you should always be obedient because when your obedient people trust you do more things, and when people trust you they let you do more things and give you freedom to do whatever you please. When you’re not obedient people feel like if they let you do something that you’re going to take advantage of it so they keep you on a short leash all the time and if you don’t do what you’re supposed to do people don’t think that your responsible, and when people think that you’re not responsible they decide to just taken away your freedom because they think that you don’t deserve it.

The secrets of successful students
Part 2
Successful students take charge of their lives and balance their time between fun and work. They know what there time for all-nighters is, 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 good siting in the 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 most likely to participate in sports. That means that they have more balance in their lives, feel better in the mornings, and are alert in class.
you just have to change a few habbits to feel better. Eat healthy foods, start walking more, take yoga class, enroll in martial arts classes, or challenge yourselves to do sit ups at night. You’ll notice a change right away.

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 not magic track, 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 task, without relying on anybody else to tell them what to do.

 

 Successful student control their calendars.                      Successful students don’t rely on parents or teachers top tell them what assignments are due or what 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 do you like to stay up late with friends? Do you like to go to parties? Do you like to watch TV or play videogames all night? Well, who doesn’t?
