Student success statement

“We need the courage to start and continue what we should do, and the courage to stop what we shouldn’t do” –Richard L. Evans

We have to be strong to do the best for us and to stop all the things that we don’t have to do.

Student responsibilities part 3

What is important to you is that you, as you start to reach milestone in your ambition, appreciate your own achievement. It is a boost, of course, if others appreciate what you have done too, but appreciating yourself will strengthen 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.

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 medication and visualization techniques to initiate your vision, and they can certainly be learnt both for that purpose and for each step you take to reach your goals. 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 to doing just that; that will enable you to recover from setbacks more easily.

Students: these are your responsibilities!!

Successful students part 3

7. Successful students understand that actions affect learning. Successful students know their personal behavior affect their feelings and emotions that in turn can affect learning.

If you act in a certain way that normally produces particular feelings, you will begin to experience those feelings. Act like you’re bored, and you’ll become bored. Act like you’re disinterested, and you will become disinterested. So the next time you have trouble concentrating in the classroom, “act” like an interested person: lean forward, place your feet flat on the floor, maintain eye contact with the professor, nod occasionally, take notes, and ask questions. Not only will you benefit directly from your actions, your classmates and professor may also get more excited and enthusiastic.

8. Successful students talk about what they’re learning. Successful students get to know something well enough that they can put it into words. Talking about something, with friends or classmates, is not only good for checking whether or not you know something, it’s a proven learning tool.

Transferring ideas into words provides the most direct path for moving knowledge from short-term to long-term memory. You really don’t “know” material until you can put it into words. So, next time you study, don’t do it silently. Talk about notes, problems, reading, etc.

“Decisions Determine Destiny” – Thomas S. Monson

Every day you have to take good decision to have a very good future, you build your own way

Successful students part 2

3. Successful students learn that a student and a teacher make a team. Most teachers want exactly what you want: they would like for you to learn the material in their respective classes and earn a good grade.

Successful students reflect well on the efforts of any teacher; if you have learned your material, the instructor takes some justifiable pride in teaching. Join forces with your instructor, they are not an enemy, you share the same interests, the same goals – in short, you’re teammates. Get to know your professor. You’re the most valuable players on the same team. Your jobs are to work together for mutual success. Neither wishes to chalk up a losing season. Be a team player!

5. Successful students don’t sit in the back. Successful students minimize classroom distractions that interfere with learning. Students want the best seat available for their entertainment dollars, but willingly seek the worst seat for their educational dollars.

Students who sit in the back cannot possibly be their teacher’s teammate (see no. 4). Why do they expose themselves to the temptations of inactive classroom experiences and distractions of all the people between them and their instructor?

“I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him when he was wrong.” –Abraham Lincoln

I think it means that we have to always stay in the right and help to the other to stay in the right to.

Successful Students

Successful Students
part 1

Successful students exhibit a combination of successful attitudes and behaviors as well as intellectual capacity successful students

1. Successful students are responsible and active. Successful students are involved in their studies, accept responsibility for their own education, and are active participants in it!

Responsibility means control. It’s the difference between leading and being led. Your own efforts control your grade, you earn the glory or deserve the blame, you make the choice. Active classroom participation improves grades without increasing study time. You can sit there, act bored, daydream, or sleep. Or you can actively listen, think, question, and take notes like someone in charge of their learning experience. Either option costs one class period. However, the former method will require a large degree of additional work outside of class to achieve the same degree of learning the latter provides at one sitting. The choice is yours.

2. Successful students have educational goals. Successful students have legitimate goals and are motivated by what they represent in terms of career aspirations and life’s desires. Ask yourself these questions: what am I doing here? Why have I chosen to be sitting here now? Is there some better place I could be? What does my presence here mean to me? Answer to this question represents your “Hot buttons” and are, without a doubt, the most important factors in your success as a college student.

Student success statement

“Great beauty, great strength, and great riches are really and truly of no great use; a right heart exceeds all.” -Benjamin franklin

it's better have a good truly heart than a lot of money or riches.

Characteristics of a successful student

http://academic.cuesta.edu/acasupp/as/201.HTM

Many students do not know what it takes to be a successful in the educational environment. They understand good and bad grades in a general way, and they sense that they should attend classes, but that is where their knowledge begins and ends.

Most instructors know what a good student is-and is not. For one thing, a good student is not necessarily the most intelligent individual in the class.

The following is a list of some characteristics of good students. This list is a description of what a hard-working student does and what a teacher likes to see. By learning these characteristics, you may better understand the day-to-day and class-to-class behavior of successful students. The idea is to provide you with guidelines you can follow which will help you get down to the business of becoming a serious, successful student.

1. Successful students attend classes regularly. They are on time. They listen and train themselves to pay attention. If they miss a session, they feel obligated to let the instructor know why before class begins, if possible, and their excuses are legitimate and reasonable. They make sure they get all missed assignments (by contacting the instructor or another student), and understand specifically what was covered in class. Successful students take responsibility for themselves.

“Right is right, even if everyone is against it. Wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it.” –William Penn

Always do the right this means your thoughts are right, but if you do the wrong that means your thoughts are wrong, and wrong always will be wrong and right always will be right you have to take the best decision and wait for the consequences of that decision

50 Habits of successful people (habits 44-47)

44. They don’t rationalize failure. While many are talking about their age, their sore back, their lack of time, their poor genetics, their ‘bad luck’, their nasty boss and their lack of opportunities (all good reason to fail), they are finding a way to succeed despite all their challenges.

45. They have an off switch. They know how to relax, enjoy what they have in their life and have to fun.

46. Their career is not their identity, it’s their job. It’s not who they are, it’s what they do.

47. They are more interested in effective than they are in easy. While the majority look for the quickest, easiest way (the shortcut), they look for the course of action which will produce the best results over the long term.

“It may make a difference to all eternity whether we do right or wrong today.” –James Freeman Clark

The things that we do today are the trouble or benefits for the future.

Video reflection

Play of the day! Selfless young fan returns ball to upset boy

“You are accountable for your choices” – Thomas S. Monson.

For me this means you have to be responsible in your choice and always choose the right!

50 habit of successful people (habits 21-30)

21. They don’t believe in, or wait for fate, destiny, chance or luck to determine or shape their future. They believe in, and are committed to actively and consciously creating their own best life.

22. While many people are reactive, they are proactive. They take action before they have to.

23. They are more effective than most at managing their emotions. They feel like we all do about they are not slaves to their emotions.

24. They are good communicators and they consciously work at it.

25. They have a plan for their life and they work methodically at turning that plan into a reality. Their life is not a clumsy series of unplanned events and outcomes

26. Their desire to be exceptional means that they typically do things that most won’t. They become exceptional by choice. We’re all faced with life-shaping decisions almost daily. Successful people make the decisions that most won’t and don’t.

27. While many people are pleasure junkies and avoid pain and discomfort at all costs, successful people understand the value and benefits of working through the tough stuff that most would avoid.

28. They have identified their core values (what is important to do to them) and they do their best live a life which is reflective of those values.

29. They have balance. While they may be financially successful, they know that the terms money and success are not interchangeable. They understand that people, who are successful on a financial level only, are not successful at all. Unfortunately we live in a society which teaches that money equals success. Like many other things, money is a tool. It’s certainly not a bad thing but ultimately; it’s just another resource. Unfortunately, to make people worship it.

30. They understand the importance of discipline and self-control. They are strong. They are happy to take the road less travelled.

“Doing what is right, fair and honorable is more important than winning or losing.”

–Chick Moorman

For me this means that is more important do the right than have a big satisfaction doing the wrong. Is more important be honest with yourself and the others than have the respect of the others with lies.

Keys to successful living part 4

What is personality? The word “personality” come from the root persona , which means “mask.” Our personality is a mask that we wear. We don’t have to wear a mask when we are by ourselves; we wear a mask to express ourselves to others. Our personality is a character, and that character is composed of certain habits; so when we want to understand our personality, we should understand our habit patterns. A habit patter is a conscious thought or action that one repeats again and again. This creates a groove in the unconscious mind and forms an unconscious habit. Unconscious habits are stronger than conscious habits. All habit patterns are self-created. When we sit down and try to understand which of our habits control our life, we see that there are many deep-rooted habits within us. Choose habits that will mold your personality into a super successful student and person. Successful people are happier because they are fulfilling the measure of their creation, doing what they were born to do, and that is to win honorably. Choosing the right will make you a good person.

“No man will ever be totally free who is living a lie.”

Marvin J. Ashton

This quote maybe referees about if you say a lie, you live in a lie because just you know that is a lie for the other persons that is a true so you have to continue saying lies to be a person in who the people can believe so with the pas of the time will we more difficult be honest.

Keys to successful living part 3

We should understand our capacities and potentials, and then we should express ourselves in the external world with full confidence, acting without any reservations. Thus there are three steps in performing an action: first, forming an opinion within others; second, expressing our opinion to others; and third, executing our opinion in action.

Understanding habit patterns

The main thing that one should learn in life – and it is not taught in the home or in the schools – is self-analysis. We should learn to analyze ourselves. If we really want to understand ourselves, we can analyze our personality by understanding our habit patterns. This is not difficult. We should simply try to be consciously aware of every action we perform and realize that our actions are virtually our thoughts. Without thought there can be action habit patterns and thoughts are revealed through behavior. There is a branch of psychology called behaviorism that is based on this concept. But one should understand that external behavior alone cannot reveal everything about a person.
