Sportsmanship

 

“The Importance of Good Sportsmanship”

The importance of sportsmanship has always been to keep games clean and respectful. The rude manners of the players who do wrong have always put a bad name on the sport. Various things have been done to show poor sportsmanship like:

·        The usage of vulgar language

·        Displays of racism

·        Taunts to opposing teams to mock the dead

Rival games have always been aggravated games by players determined to win but forget about the good in sportsmanship. To keep peace within big nerve racking games refs always try to keep the players calm. Sportsmanship is easy to display and a friendly thing to show off. Very often do players get away with fouls and poor sportsmanship but that does not make them better. The fulfillment of being a honest respectful person/player is always very satisfying. The best people all have one thing in common and that good sportsmanship.

Theodore

Student success statement

“My basic principle is that you don’t make decisions because they are easy; you don’t make them because they are cheap; you don’t make them because they’re popular; you make them because they’re right.”

-Theodore Hesburgh

There will be instances where we will be pressured to make quick decisions. The easy choices may be to follow the crowd, but that shouldn’t be the reason to follow the common choice. Not all the time the choices will be easy to make, but we should always choose the right even when it is the most opposed.

Successful Students Part-2

4. Successful students learn that a student and a teacher make a team. Most teachers want exactly what you want: they would like 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 your enemy, you share the same interests, the same goals- in short you are 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.

Student Success Statement

“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 while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.”

-Abraham Lincoln

I am not destined to victory but to be true, I will support anybody whom is of honesty. Once the person becomes corrupt with lies I will stand by him/her no longer. Repel myself from the individual and part ways.

 

I WILL SUCCEED, CONQUER, and DESTROY

 

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 get 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 the class to achieve the same degree of learning the latter provides at one sitting. The choice is yours.

2. Successful people have educational goals. Successful students have legitimate goals and are motivated by… CHOOSING THE RIGHT!!!

CORRECTNESS!!

Success Statement

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

--Benjamin Franklin

 

Beauty, Strength, and riches will only get you so far; are virtues that will dwindle over time. An honest heart outlasts the materialism that this society cherishes. The right path and choices are chosen by the heart. Your actions , not appearance, defineTHE RIGHT.

Characteristics of a Successful Student

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

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

Most instructors knows 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 the guidelines you can follow which will help you get down to the business of becoming a serious, successful student.

1. Successful student attends 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 and their actions.

Habits 44-47

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 reasons 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 to have 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 majorities look for the quickest way (the shortcut) they look for the course of action which will produce the best results over the long term.

Habits 31-35

50 Habits of Successful People

32. They are generous and kind. They take pleasure in helping others achieve.

33. They are humble and they are happy to admit mistakes and to apologize. They are confident in their ability to, but not arrogant. They are happy to learn from others. They are happy to make others look good rather than seek their own personal glory.

With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility

“You are accountable for YOUR choices”

No one else should be responsible for the repercussions of our choices. With the free will that we have there is no one to blame but ourselves. With great power comes great responsibility.

Habits 21-30

50 Habits 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 but 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 or 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 wont 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 them) and they do their best to 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 that 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, too many people worship it.

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