“Success is dependent on effort”

-Sophocles, Greek dramatist

I agree with this statement because whatever you do depends on the amount of effort you put in it. If you put lots of effort in school then you will succeed and Ace all the classes. Effort is the key to success. If you want to be someone successful in life, then you should put all the effort you can in your education.

Ø  For completing problem sets or brainstorming possible test questions, you may want to study with a group or at least in a setting where fellow student are available for discussion.

Jenna let deb win the race because she dragged her to the finish line and she gave deb a little push so she would finish first. Although that wasn’t it, Jenna got a reward for this marvelous act.

Develop good study habits

in college, you’ll need to build on the study skills that you learned in high school. The demands of a college class are probably more rigorous than those you are used to. You can succeed by knowing what to expect and how to handle it. Think of college as a full time job, in which you spend 40 hours a week on class, labs, study groups and homework.

Being organized and using your time well are essential. Learn more about time management, and use the guidelines below to develop your study skills.

Decide when to study

Work out about how many hours you need to study every day. Then make a schedule.

·        Figure out what blocks of time you have available throughout the day, in the evenings, and on weekends.

·        Consider what time of day you are most alert—there are morning people and night owls—and try to schedule your studying accordingly.

·        Think about whether you do better studying for a few hours at a time or sitting sown for marathon sessions.

Reviewing helps you reinforce what you've learned, 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’s Sleep

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

Tip~7. Communicate Your Schedule to Others

If phone calls or texts messages are proving to be a distraction, tell your friends that you are only available at 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.

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

-ANON-

I agree with this statement because if you are with bad company then they’ll lead you to failure, and to unsuccessful habits. So if you are with bad friends or bad company then you’ll get in trouble and do anything that is choosing the wrong (CTW) which would lead you to bad consequences. Rather than if you are with good people or alone then you will succeed and triumph through your goals or dreams.

“Improvement begins with I.”

Anon

I agree with this statement because I you want to improve in something then you have to start by improving yourself. As soon as you improve yourself then you’ll see that everything will start improving as well. For example, if you want to improve your grades then you will have to start improving your bad habits of not doing anything in class.

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw

3.) Heart: Always do what is right so your heart, your conscience, will feel peaceful. When you do 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 discrimination. Just like a magnetic compass gives you directions, even true north, your personal compass, your heart, will point you in the true north, the exact directions and paths you need to trod.

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 9physical fitness), your mind, your heart, and your soul.

Teens should never get too busy living to take time to renew themselves. When teens “sharpen the saw” they are keeping their personal self-sharp so that they can be better deal life. It means regularly renewing and strengthening the four key dimensions of life –body, mind, heart, and soul

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. Synergy allows teens to value difference and better appreciate others. Synergy 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 happen. It’s a process. You have to get there. And the foundation of getting there is this: learn to celebrate differences.

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 listening

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, one-of-a-kind, never-to-be-cloned individual. People won’t 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 much you care.

Listen with your eyes, heart and ears. 7 percent of communication is contained in the words we use. The rest comes from body language (53 percent) and how we say words, or the tone and feeling reflected in our voice (40 percent). Most people are eager to talk and had rather than listen. We have one mouth and two ears. This means we should listen twice as much as we should talk. We actually learn more while listening rather than when we talk. Learn to listen and listen to learn.

Listen, really listen, for understanding.
Seek first to understand then to be understood—LISTEN.

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 encourages the idea that in any given discussion or situation both parties can arrive at mutually beneficial solution. Your teen will learn to celebrate the accomplishments of others instead of being threatened by them. Win-Win is a belief that everyone can win. It’s both nice and tough 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 no matter who gets the biggest piece of the pie. There’s more than enough food for everyone. It’s an all you can eat buffet.

Win-Win always creates more. Perhaps the most surprising benefit of thinking Win-Win id the good feelings it brings on. The true test of whether or not you are thinking Win-Win or one of the alternatives is how you feel. Win-Lose and Lose-Win thinking will cloud your judgment and fill you with negative thoughts. It will fill your heart with happy and serene thoughts. It will give you confidence. Even fill you with light. Think Win-win or no deal.

Habit 3: First Things First

Habit 3 is about Will and Will Not power. This habit helps teens prioritize and manage their time so that they focus on an complete the most important things in their lives. Putting first things first also means learning to overcome fears and being strong during difficult times. It’s living life according to what matters most. Putting first things first deals with things that are:

Important or not important, urgent or not urgent. Let’s look at the 4 quadrants of time management.

Quadrant 1: Things are important and urgent

Quadrant 2: Things that are important but not urgent

Quadrant 3: Things that are not important but urgent

Quadrant 4: Things are not important and not urgent

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

Quadrant 2 is the ideal place to spend our 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 2: Begin with the End in Mind

If teens aren’t clear about where they want to end up in life, about their values, goals, and what they stand form, they will wander, waste time, and be tossed to and fro by the opinions of others. Help your teen create a personal missions statement which will act as a road map and direct and guide his decision-making process.

“Keep your eyes on the prize.” Determine you desired prize and quit until you have realized the achievement of your prize. Then set another prize, another goal or desire that you would really like to achieve. Begin with the achievement of your prize in mind. Visualize and then realize. Start by having a target in mind; know where you are going.

One prize or goal you definitely need to establish for yourself is the prize of a honorable graduation from high school –that you earned it with perfect honesty.
