"Take care of yourself and everything else will fall into place."

Coach David Diamont

Reflection: 

The quote is saying that at longest your taking care of yourself, everything will be okay. If you decided to live a good life, your life will be fine. But if you decided to live a bad life, your life will just turn out to be bad, and not healthy.

Acquiring the Habits of Highly Successful Students

Part 13

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 your dreams and vision will materialize as you pursue these objectives. Setting your 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.

“What I will do to graduate high school”

What I am going to do to graduate high school is, I am going to CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!! I am going to follow directions and do what is needed of me. To graduate I have to have good grades, and leadership. I want to make my family proud so that’s another goal. I want to do my best because I want a good career and I want to have a good life. I will do every assignment as my teachers ask for, and try to do my best at it. To graduate I have to work really hard, and study as much as I can. I think i have what it takes to graduate and to be a better person in life. Most of my family members didn't graduate, so i wanna be a good example and to show my family that's I don't just play games. My family think that i am not gonna graduate, but I am going to prove them wrong. I am going to show them that i could be a better person if i want to. I want to do good because I want my family in the future to be happy for me. I want my family members to be happy and say that, " Yes that's my daughter, or niece. I want my little siblings to see me as a role model. I want them to follow my good foot steps. High gets really difficult each time and day, its up to me and every other student to make the best of it, and to do good. In middle school, I never worked hard and smart, but know i want to do good. Life isn't going to be fun and games. I have to take life seriously and do what my parents wanted to do as they were kids.

Acquiring Habits of Successful People

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 strength 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 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 achievable targets can all play an important role.

Acquiring the Habits of Highly Successful Students

part 3

Everyone wants to be successful in life, but where are keys to success? Do we have to go out and search for those keys, or do we have those potentials already 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 have 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 perform out 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 relationship.

Part 1

Source: The teaching Professor. Paraphrase from John H. Williams, Clarifying Grade Expectations, August/September 1993 and Paul Solomon and Annette Nellon, Communicating About the Behavioral Dimensions of Grades, February, 1996.

Successful students can be distinguished from the average student by their attitudes and behaviors. Below are some profiles that typically distinguished between an “A” student and a “C” student. Where do you fit in this scheme?

 

The “A” Student-An outstanding Student

1.    ATTENDANCE: “A” students have virtually perfect attendance. Their commitment to the class is a high priority and exceeds other temptations.

2.    PREPARATION: “A” students are prepared for class. They always read the assignment. Their attention to the details is such as they occasionally can elaborate on class examples.

3.    CURIOSITY: “A” students demonstrate interest in the class and the subject. They look up or dig out what they don’t understand. They often ask interesting questions or make thoughtful comments.

4.    RETENATION: “A” students have retentive minds and practice making retentive connections. They are able to connect past learning with the present. They bring a background of knowledge with them to their classes. They focus on learning concepts rather than memorizing details.
