Whether studying or in general life, planning is an imperative skill here, we must strictly set the hours for studying, and should promote regularity in doing so. (Just before the test), because in that moment you will be feeling stress and pressure,and both factors will prove disturbing for your learning; that’s the high price of procrastination. During the exam, it’s important to forger about panic and stress. And if you are planning your thesis, you may find this post useful. Other planning tip I frequently give is that, when you are assigned a  homework, try to solve it a quickly as possible, several days before the required date, but don’t try to complete it perfectly and don’t submit it immediately. I always recommended doing homework early, but deliver it at the last possible day.

·      They know how to handle groups.

Other chief habit is that for 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 texts. 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.

Everyone wants to be successful in life, but where are the keys to success? Do you 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 aspect –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 our practices on time. So life in the external world is as important as life in the internal world.

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

If we are to succeed in life, we must hone our learning skill.

1-    The first step in this direction is to sincerely point out the driving force or motivation. Let’s relax and star listing the reason 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 reason why you don’t want to study, and please note that this list cannot be empty.

Acquiring the Habits of Highly Successful Students Part 1

By Herrera

We humans are innate learners, as learning is the cornerstone for survival. We must remember, abstract and apply knowledge in diverse (and often harsh) environments in order to develop into and behave as truly intelligent beings. In short, the adaptability and resilience we exhibit stems from learning. Now, a key issue to learning is the driving force behind it, i.e., the motivation or stimuli to learn. We can learn because of fear (we want to learn how to protect ourselves of danger.) we can learn just out of curiosity (our natural inquisitive behavior.) we can learn because we want to reach some social status (approval of others is a potent stimuli to learn.) we can learn simply because we love to learn new things every day. There are plenty of reasons to learn and yours may easily be a mixture of these. Health and money are important things in life, but learning is the base for using them wisely.

Are you really doing everything you can to prepare for test? 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 assignments.

2.       Take note in 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” whit it.

4.       Process information systematically. Label in the margin works well for most people.

Successful  students take charge of their lives and  balance their time between  fun and  work . they know that there is a time for all-nighters, and it’s not during final 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 very energetic in the morning ,and they morning ‘and they probably don’t feel good sitting  in class, either.

Good food and a tittle 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 more likely to participate in sports. That mean they have more balance in their lives, feel better in the morning, and are more alert in class.

You just have to change  a few habits to  feel better. Eat healthy foods, stars  walking more , take  a yoga class, enroll in material arts classes, or challenge  yourself to do sit-ups night. You’ll notice a change right always.

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 no magic trick, 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 tasks, without relying on anybody else to tell them what to do.

Successful students control their calendars. Successful students don’t rely on parents or teachers to tell them when assignments are due or when 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 stay out with friends? Do you like to go to parties? Do you like to watch TV or play video games all night? Well, who doesn’t?

6. EFFORT: “C’ students are capable of sufficient effort, but either fall to realistically evaluate the effort needed to accomplish a task successfully, or lack to desire to meet the challenge. They put forth very little effort. They don’t realize that they will be rewarded according the amount of effort they put into a project. Little effort = bad results

7. COMMUNICATIONS: “C’ students communicate in ways that often limit comprehension or risk misinterpretation. Ideas are not well formulated before they are expressed. Poor listening/reading habits inhibit matching inquiry and response.

8. RESULTS: “C” students obtain mediocre or inconsistent results on test. They have some concept of what is going on but clearly have not mastered the material.

CURIOSITY: “C” students seldom explore topics deeper than their face value. They lack vision and bypass interconnectedness of concepts. Immediate relevancy is often their regular test for involvement.

 

3. RETENTION: “C” students retain less information and for shorter periods. Less effort seems to go toward organizing and associating learned information with previously acquired knowledge. They display short- term retention by relying on cramming sessions that focus on details, not concepts.

4. ATTITUDE: “C” students are not visibly committed to class. Their body language often expresses boredom.

5. TALENT: “C’ students vary enormously in talent. Some have exceptional ability but show undeniable signs of poor self-management or bad attitudes. Others are diligent but simply average in academic ability.

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

The “A” student – and 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 details is such that 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.       RETENTION: “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.
