"Truth is the only safe ground to stand upon."

Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Lies. All lies are a fault which have no solid foundation, a lie is based of false scenarios that never occurred. Without a solid foundation there is no guarantee for your secure footing. Eventually it will crumble, corrode and wither away. Truth is the most solid foundation to stand upon. There is no source of fault, as there is no false information being given. Only the truth provides the most safety.

Attention to Detail

Attention to Detail

7 of 10

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.

John Wooden, UCLA’s former great basketball coach who lead his teams to 10 consecutive national championships, was asked what he attributed his success to. 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.

"Everyone is the architect of their own learning"
Claudius
There is a construct in everyone's lives. Some don't have the blue prints to their construct, some constructs are poorly made and others are sound. Nobody can create your building. Your learning can only be licensed by you and no other. You build on your learning to understand different concepts that are complex and necessary to compete and live in the modern world of today.

Cool Under Pressure

Cool Under Pressure

Very few students enjoy taking tests. Yet functioning well under pressure is crucial to your future success. Try thinking of the pressure of testing as practice for the work world’s own explosive situations. You could someday find yourself meeting tight deadlines, speaking with irate customers, wielding a scalpel or handling dangerous chemicals.

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. Preparation removes fear. When you are prepared, you will not fear. Preparation helps you maintain your cool under pressure. Preparation generates energy and enthusiasm; therefore, prepare and your coolness under pressure is sure to abound.

"Start with what is right rather than what is acceptable."

Peter F. Drucker

A starting point is the most crucial for any person. It is the hardest goal to accomplish, where you want to start. Most to start easily, will go with whatever seems to get them on the track, even if it is wrong. Drucker's idea is to start with a foundation that is solid and not corrupt. Without a solid foundation, the building will crumble. Choose the right path from the beginning and secure your goals.

Initiative

Initiative

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.

"To be great-- concentrate."
Orson Swett Marden
Greatness come from the mindset. As it goes "Mind over Matter" concentration is a battle of the mind. As you become distracted, or have no structure, concentration brings you to focus on what you need to accomplish. It hones your senses to become sharper allowing you to perform beyond expectation. Concentration leads to success.

Problem-Solving Skills

Problem-Solving Skills

4 of 10

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.

"Education is not a marathon not a sprint"
anon

Education is a process that takes years to perform. Everyday is a learning experience. This is not something that is limited to school or to housework. You can learn anything from anyone at anytime. There will always be those that will end early and stop expanding their brains to new opinions and ideals. Education comes to us by second nature and always be with us for the long run. IT will never be on a short stride.

Every time your class breaks into groups to tackle a challenge, you build teamwork skills. In college, you’ll continue to have these opportunities to practice voicing your opinions, listening tand responding to others, and teaching compromises.

"The man who has no imagination has no wings"
-- Muhammad Ali

Without an idea of where you want to go in life, there is no hope. It takes imagination to become unique and individualized. A man that uses his imagination has broken the box that he has been concealed in and can do anything he can imagine himself doing.

Speaking Skills

Speaking Skills

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."

-- Calvin Coolidge, 30th President of the United States

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.

Communication is at the top of the list of skills that employers look for. And communication in the workplace often means writing.

Health professionals keep patient charts, researchers depend on the money they collect by writing grant applications, software engineers write technical specifications and nearly everyone write e-mail to people inside and outside their organization. And before you even get the chance to interview for a job, you’ll need to present yourself in cover letters and resumes.

So, by taking writing serious and doing your best on every research paper, every lab, and every writing activity you engage in, you’re preparing yourself for a good career.

“To see what is right and not to do it is want of courage”

Confucius

The way of the wrong is a path selected by the cowardice, yet those who succeed in the right have unlimited courage, because there is a purpose behind every benevolent action. Amiable traits are not only to present an alternative to hostile personalities but are to enhance the chances of brightening your future. To succeed and choose the right, you need courage and when you want it, it will manifest itself through the right.

Read Between the Lines

 Make a judgment about the site’s reliability based on your own analysis of the site and the information it contains. Here are some ways to do this:

·         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.

"Continuous effort, not strength or intelligence, is the key to unlocking our potential."
Liane Cordes
 Not all success is based on the ability to retain and practice knowlegde. Rather the ability to practice and persist, is far more substantial. Having the stamina to persevere is tiring and my even become exhausting, but in the end as all things work, to persist to the end will be worth the effort. One will never know what their true potental is uunless it has been tested and pushed out to its furthest limits. As the tortoise and the hare, the tortoise was not skilled physically yet it persevered at its own pace, passing the talented athletic hare.

Research with Attitude

Conduct your research with the attitude of a skeptic. As you examine websites for clues that they’re trustworthy, ask these questions:

1.       Who wrote the webpage? If you cannot identify the individual or organization responsible for the information, don’t use it.

2.       What are the author’s qualifications for writing on the subject?

3.       Has the article passed through an editorial process designed to ensure quality and accuracy?

4.       What is the website purpose? Look for motives—like selling products or winning votes—that could result in biased or incomplete information.

5.       Is the information accurate? Is it up to date?

6.       Where did the author get this information?
