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 from in handy in any workplace, whether you maintain a database, keep a log of the hours you spend with clients or write e-mails.

Among a number of things, he mentioned that paying attention 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 the small things, but from small things come great things; therefore pay attention to details and you will experience substantial progress in your overall educational experience.

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 have to worry about it. In fact you have put into preparing for the test. You will be rewarded for the effort you have thrust into your studies.

Initiative is creativity, inventiveness, originality, ingenuity, imagination. Every time you respond in class, every time you choose you own research project, every time you put together you own interpretation of a piece of literature, you take initiative. And future employers value can-do professionals who come up with new ideas and chart their own course through projects, employees who are self-reliant. Self-reliant people are self-starters who don’t procrastinate on getting the job done. They know what is required to do and do it. They don’t wait to be told many times. Succeeding in high school, college, and in the career world is taking the initiative.

Problem solving goes far beyond your math textbook. Every assignment is an opportunity to weigh all possible solutions carefully and choose the one you think is best. As a working professional, you’ll be solving problems regularly, whether it’s fixing a bug in a computer program or overcoming budget shortfalls. Problem solving situations occur extensively and frequently; therefore be ready when they come. When problems or challenges occur, some people look at them as negative experiences, as a crisis. These people are the ones who live day by day with gloom and negativism in their attitudes. But the really successful people, those who are cheerful and optimistic, are those who look at problems as opportunities, opportunities to learn, grow, and expand their horizons, and make new discoveries. They look on the bright side of things and live happy lives.

When you’re assigned a class presentation, think twice before dismissing it as unimportant part of your education. Employers look for speaking skills in job applicants, who may have to give presentations to clients ore represent their 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 people. Far above the fear of death and disease, comes the fear of 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 American 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 on the ability to communicate effectively! Whether you’re running a meeting, selling  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."

Coolidge being a candid yet, silent president was a wise man with this statement. Persistence is a trait that is most important in the characteristics of the human composition. Without persistence to break barriers of the human race, we would not be in the place where we are today. There are men everywhere that have the talent to do something spectacular, but it is uncommon for them to refine the God- given skill into something useful. A genius has the same problem of not using their full potential. Persistence is a game changer for the better. With persistence like in progressivism there will always be barriers that will be destroyed.

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

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

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

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

Tip 5: Keep a List of Questions

When you feel confused about something you’re reading, write down any questions you have. Sometimes your questions are answered as you read further. If not, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Remember, teachers create assignments; they’ve read the texts and are familiar with them. When you have specific questions, your teachers can provide answers that will help you better understand the material. Learning is rooted in questions developed and asked by the learner.

Asking questions to yourself, to the teacher, and to others, is a great learning method. When you cease to ask questions, you cease to exist to a great extent. Read actively by silently asking questions as you read. Questioning immerses you into the material you are reading and therefore will expand your mental capacities more than almost anything else.

The philosopher Sir Francis Bacon said, “Knowledge is Power.”

 Improving your reading comprehension is the key to gaining important knowledge and making the most of your education. So pick up a book…and a pen.

Reading and Writing go hand in hand. The better you understand a text, the more likely you are able to successfully communicate your thoughts about it in writing. So it’s important to develop strong skills in both areas. With that in mind, here’s how to improve your reading comprehension.

Tip 1: Annotate

Be an active reader. Instead of passively reading a text, take notes about important story elements, key factual information and significant ideas in the text.

Tip 2: Not the Author’s writing Style

Every author writes with a purpose, using deliberate methods to successfully relate specific information to the audience. When you’re reading, look for patterns in the author’s writing. For example, you may notice a repetition of key words, phrases or symbols—or the use of a distinct type of sentence structure. Authors employ these writing strategies to help readers comprehend a central argument or theme, so be sure to explore how these techniques create meaning.

When there are thing that must be done, there is no use in hindering the process of their completion. What is done is for a purpose and should not be taken for granted, or unappreciated. Don't whine because in actuality its just a waste of breath, if you really wanted to stop; you would've already. Don't complain because nobody wants to hear it, the only person who is pessimistic is the complainer.

To succeed in high school and college, you have to do your best at all times. But sometimes it’s hard to stay motivated, even when you really care about the work you’re doing. Here are five ways to stay on the right track.

Focus on High-Impact Activities

They key to success in school is staying focused on your course work. Make a list to get an overall picture of your workload before you start to tackle any of it. Then, make a plan. Although it’s tempting to do the simplest assignments first, those that take more time and effort to accomplish are probably the ones that you’ll learn the most from. To determine what your priorities are, rank your assignments in the order of their importance. Then rearrange your time and devote more energy toward those that have the greatest impact on your course work and grades. For example, even though all homework assignments are important, studying for a midterm exam takes priority over writing a paragraph for English class. As you complete each task, think of it as another step on your way to college success.

2. Create New Challenges

Changing your approach can help you stay interested in what you’re doing. If you’ve been given an assignment similar to the one you’ve done in the past, think about it in a different way. If you wrote an essay for a creative writing assignment last year, try a poem this time. For book reports pick a history book instead of another biography.

Although character is very important, the mind's ability to retain information and use it to warn future generations is equal if not greater. It depends on a vertain situation if character is held higher than intellect, like in social issues. To gain and attract people's attention, you need charismatic personality and characteristics that in some cases is held higher than intellect. But in most institutions intellect is held in high reguards. In some places it still exists and should to keep a higher standard of living and sociality. If all falls to characteristics then there will be a decrease in education and the will to stay aware of surroundings rather than being known for being nice.

Although very few students love homework, it does serve a purpose. Homework helps you:

·         Reinforce what you’ve learned during the day.

·         Build study habits that are essential in college.

·         Prepare for your classes.

·         Get a sense of progress.

Here are some tips to help you deal with homework more efficiently and effectively.

SET THE MOOD

Create a good study area with everything you need (for example, a calculator). If you don’t have a quiet place at home, try your school or local library.

KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN

Make a list of everything you need to do, and note all the deadlines. Do the more difficult assignments first, so you don’t have to face them at the end.

STUDY AT THE SAME TIME EVERYDAY

Even if you don’t have homework every night, use the time to review your notes. If sitting down to work is part of your normal routine, you’ll approach it with less dread. Also, you’ll become a pro at using time productively.
