“Honesty is the cornerstone of character. The honest man or woman seeks not merely to avoid criminal or illegal acts, but to be scrupulously fair, up right, fearless in both action and expression. Honesty prays dividends both in dollars and in peace of mind.”

I agree with this statement because if you are honest it’ll pay off whether with money or with gratitude.  However honesty has to come from within, because no one can make you honest or make you act like that.

“stop worrying about whether you’re going to win or lose and focus your full attention on what’s happening right this moment.”

I agree with this statement because if you focus on the result then you will only live worried and stressed out, If you focus on what you are doing right now (the present) then you might have the chance to turn things over by doing what’s right.

Attention to Detail 7 of 10

Attention to Detail

7 of 10

When you double-check your calculations for a math problem or cite sources carefully in a research paper, you’re paying close attention to detail. That skill comes in handy in any workplace, whether you maintain a database, keep a log of the hours you spend with clients or write e-mails.

John Wooden, UCLA’s former great basketball coach who lead his teams to ten consecutive national championships, was asked what he attributed his success to. Among a number of things, he mentioned that paying to details was one of the most important qualities for successful coaching and for high achievement in any worthwhile pursuit. He even paid attention to how his players would lace up and tie their shoe strings. If they didn’t tie them correctly, he would teach them how.

Details may be small things, but from small things come great things; therefore, pay attention to details and you will experience substantial progress in your overall educational attainment.

Cool Under Pressure 6 of 10

Cool Under Pressure

 6 of 10

Very few students enjoy taking test. Yet functioning well under pressure is crucial to your future success. Try thinking of the pressure of testing as practice for the work world’s own explosive situations. You could someday find yourself meeting tight deadlines, speaking with irate customers, wielding a scalpel or handling dangerous chemicals.

The best way to curtail pressure and to even eliminate it is to prepare. Applying the motto “Be prepared” holds true first time and every time. prepare for that test, and you won’t worry about it. In fact, it will be your chance to shine, to reveal the hard work you have put into preparing for the test. You will be rewarded for the effort you have thrust into your studies. Preparation removes fear. When you are prepared, you will not fear. Preparation helps you maintain your cool under pressure. Preparation generates energy and enthusiasm; therefore, prepare and your coolness under pressure is sure to abound.

“Education is a marathon—not a sprint”

I agree with this statement because in a sprint you don’t try your max, but on a marathon you want to win, and reach the goal, so then you try your best. In life you got to give priority to what’s more important, which in this case is your education.

Teamwork Skills

Every time your class breaks into groups to tackle a challenge, you build your teamwork skills. In college, you’ll continue to have these opportunities to practice voicing your opinions, listening and responding you others, and reaching compromises. By the time you leave college, you can be an expert in this important workplace skill.

Individually you can achieve so much, but when you work with others for a common cause, the same objectives, you can accomplish a tremendous amount more. You synergize your talents, knowledge, and skills with those whom you work. All members of the team are edified together, a type of edification you can’t obtain by working alone.

Speaking skills

When you’re assigned a class presentation, think twice before dismissing it as an unimportant part of your education. Employers look for speaking skills in job applicants, who may have to give presentations to clients or represented their organization in the field. It’s never too soon to practice good eye contact and other public speaking techniques.

Http://www.newswiretoday.com/news/17334/

According to The Book of Lists, the fear of public speaking ranks number one in the minds of the majority of the people. Far above the fear of death and disease comes the fear standing in front of a crowd. Joel Weiner noted author and public speaker wants to help people overcome that fear.

“The biggest fear is public speaking, with 15 percent of Americans experiencing a dramatic fear of it,” said Dr. Michael Telch of the laboratory for the study of anxiety disorders (LSAD) in the department of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. “people have had to turn down jobs, and certainly students have dropped classes because of it.”

Regardless of your occupation, your success depends a great deal upon your ability to communicate effectively! Whether you’re running a meeting, selling a product, making a presentation, motivating co-workers or just communicating one –on-one with others, you’ll get far better results if you can speak persuasively, smoothly and intelligently.

"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; the world is full of educated derelicts Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."

-Calvin Coolidge, 30th president of the United States

Reflection: I agree with this statement because most of the people don’t care for their success in life, and are not willing to choose the right, but it doesn’t mean that if anyone does something it’s right.

Writing skills

Communication is at the top of the list of skills that employers look for. And communicate in the workplace often means writing.

Health professionals keep patient charts, researchers depend on the money they collect by writing  grant applications, software engineers write technical specifications, and nearly everyone writes e-mail to people inside and outside their organization. And before you can even get the chance to interview for a job, you’ll need to present yourself in cover letters and resumes.

So, by taking writing serious and doing your best on every research paper, every lab report you write, every new post you write in your blog site, and every writing activity you engage in. you’re preparing yourself for a good career.

Read the Directions

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

Doing this may 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

More Tips

Finally, look beyond the article for more clues.

·      Read the website’s home page and about Us page. Look for a mission statement to learn more about the site, it’s purpose and organization sponsoring it.

·      If there is an author listed, look for a biography that discusses the author’s education, profession and other relevant background. If there is no bio on the site, search for one elsewhere on the Web.

·      Check the date. Facts can change over time, so see if the site shows when it was last updated.

·      Presentation counts; look at everything from design to spelling. A clean, well-organized site shows a certain degree of professionalism.

·      Avoid sites that are pornographic, vulgar, inappropriate, below par, suggestive, and falsifying.

“Gold medal don’t make Champions… hard work does.”

-ANON-

I agree with this statement because if you try and work hard to achieve your goals better be sure you’re going to reach them
(like that gold medal). Even if you don’t accomplish it in first place, you still are a champion; what counts is the attitude you do it with and how much effort you put into it. . On the other hand, if you cheat to reach your goal, you are nothing more than a lowlife and that shouldn’t have the privilege to wear that medal.

Read between the lines

Make a judgment about the site’s reliability based on your own analysis of the site and the information it contains. Here are some ways to do this:

Ø  Look for facts you know or can check with a trusted source. If the site gets those facts right, it’s more likely that the other facts on the site are also accurate.

Ø  Study the language used. Is it angry, satiric or overly impassioned? This may indicate that the site is biased.

Ø  Consider whether the arguments are logical and backed up by evidence, and whether the site presents only one point of view.

Ø  Check the links to the sources that the author acknowledges. Scholarly writing, whether in print or online, should include a biography.

It’s Online, but is It ON Target?

Dot-what?

Look at the sites address. What follows the dot?

Ø  Dot-com is not only for businesses; anyone can use it. Dot-coms include well-known and respected companies, but also private individuals.

Ø  Dot- org usually indicated a non-for-profit organization. Many dot-orgs present unbiased information, but others have political agendas, focus on debatable issues instead of facts, and might not present all sides of argument.

Ø  Dot-gov indicates a government website at the federal, state or local level. The federal government is a good source of statistics, and its sites are widely considered amongst the most reliable.

Ø  Dot-mail is used by sites that are part of the military.

Ø  Dot-edu usually indicates a university website. While its published research is generally considered very trustworthy, anyone associated with the university, whether a world-renowned scholar or a freshman, can be given space on its server. Professors sometimes put student course work up on the Web, but that doesn’t meant mean they are vouching for the information accuracy.
