Take Care

                                                               STUDENT SUCCESS STATEMENT

                                  “Take care of yourself and everything else will fall into place.”

                                                                                                                        -Coach David Diamont

            - If we look out for our health physically there are risks that we are reducing.  These risks may involve the cause of cancers, surgeries, diabetes or any other type of chronic disease. When we care for ourselves mentally/ psychologically, then there are moments that we can be stress free, no sense of weight on our shoulders. Some of these reliefs may even come from telling the truth. Spiritually we can be healthy by doing what is right. We need to nurture our souls and meditate on different aspects of our life. This constructive criticism within ourselves will allow us to reflect it back out and show others if even they are in a time of crisis.

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 meditation and visualization techniques to initiate your vision, and they can certainly be learned both for that purpose and for each step you take, you take to reach your goals. Simply visualize your desired goals, that of being a star student, a champion of doing what is right, and see yourself working hard to become outstanding, and you're  your dreams and vision will materialize as you pursue these objectives. A setting goals and objectives can be a personal or business technique that can be learnt.

 What is important to you is that you, as you start to reach milestones in your ambitions, you appreciate your own achievements. It is a boost; of course, if others appreciate what you have done too, but appreciating yourself will strengthen your belief, and reinforce your determination 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 your trying to succeed in, a strong vision of your future, planning and setting yourself achievable targets can all play an important role.

 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. Don’t put off your studies to the last moment (just before the test), because in that moment you will be felling stress and pressure, and both factors will prove disturbing for your learning; that’s the high price of procrastination. During the exam, it’s the most important to forget about the panic and stress. And if you are planning for your thesis, you may find this post most useful. Other planning tip I frequently give is that, when you are assigned a homework, try to solve it as quickly as possible, several days before the required date, but don’t try to complete it perfectly an and don’t submit it immediately. I always recommend doing homework early, but deliver it at the last possible moment.

They prefer tasks with some degree of difficulty and novelty, which stimulate their learning skills.

They don’t fall apply the simple criteria of success to fail to their learning. Remember, they are focused into the learning process.

They know how to handle groups.

Finally, they work with passion.

Other chief habit is that of 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 text. It’s also important to try and relate such text and other areas of our knowledge. Again, linking ideas and concepts is a habit of highly successful students. So, link.

·         They concentrate on the process of solving the task and understanding the involved ideas. Of course we are interested in getting good results, but the process is more important. A result is a very brief moment in life, while learning to develop processes is a skill that will last for the whole life.

·         They interpret and analyze errors as a way of increasing their learning i.e., they try to learn from their mistakes. This way, they see errors and failures as opportunities. They look for the required information in several channels (books, journals, newspapers, experts, Internet, and so on.)

·         They consult experts and teachers frequently. This action provides a new perspective about the studied topics.

Everyone wants to be successful in life, but where are the keys to success? Do we 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 aspects – 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.

                If you prefer to play video games, then remember that making any game requires to prepare a detailed script including history, characters, goals and relations. Therefore, you could start writing down the script for your “dream” game. On the other side, you could imagine how the novel your reading could be transformed into a videogame (start out by thinking which gaming genre fits the novel better: role-playing, adventure, action and so on.) The basic idea is to find match points and links between our affections and our chores. And such links there always exist. Remember, to link ideas and concepts is the most important habit for successful students.

 Successful Students also exhibit other particular traits we should internalize:

•     They are always trying to discover better approaches in order to accomplish their tasks (adequate studying place, availability of resources, etc.)You may find my post on  Pristine Home with Feng Shui useful for improving your study environment.

                Success is about achieving goals, and therefore is a relative notion. Highly Successful students are those which set realistic goals, and attain them with the proper investment of resources. Thus, not necessarily the student with the best grades is the most successful learner. Now, we have stated what successful students are like. Good.

                If you have negative entries in your list of driving forces, it’s time to improve things quite a bit. First, identify other topics that you indeed like a lot, not necessarily related to studying. Perhaps you like pets, to cook or to play videogames. Now, try to establish associations or links between these favorite activities of yours and the subject of study that you like or dislike. For example, let’s assume that you dislike Literature (you perhaps think it’s utterly boring) but love your humorous pit-bull “Casino Joe” Then you could start thinking how your dog would fit as a character into your novel that novel you have to analyze: what its role would be and how it would interact with other characters in the novel.

                The body is related to the breath, and breath is related to the mind. The bodies, breathe, 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 goals and the relationships 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 happy internally can never be happy externally; those who are not happy within themselves can never make others happy. Those who do love themselves never love others.

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

1- The first step in this direction is to sincerely point out the driving force or motivation. Let’s relax, and start listing the reasons 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 may only means that you have not yet 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 that list of reasons why you don’t want to study, and please note that this list cannot be empty. Whether you found a huge list of driving forces or a list of reasons for not studying, the end product of this step compromises at least one item,

 

Obtaining high standards

Acquiring the Habits of Highly Successful Students

Part 1- by Herrera

We humans are innate learners, as learning is 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 form 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.

The Importance of working hard in school

There are reasons to perform and excel in school. Many students tend to fall back and become lackadaisical. But the truth is that there is a slimmer chance of succeeding through these practices. But school is where your positive work ethics are developed.  While being in school you still are granted the opportunity learn skills necessary to EVOLVE AND EXPAND THE MIND.

1. Keep up to date with assignments.

2. take notes in every class every day. This includes asking questions when you don’t understand.
