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 that purpose and for each step 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.

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 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 success in, a strong vision of your future, planning, and setting yourself achievable targets can all play an important role.

Acquiring the Habits of Highly Successful Students

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 feeling stress and, and both factors will prove disturbing for your learning; that’s the high price of procrastination. During the exam, it’s important to forget about panic and stress. And if you are planning for your thesis, you may find this post useful. Other planning tip I frequently give is that, when you are assigned a homework, try solve it as quickly as possible, several days before the required date, but don’t try to complete it perfectly and don’t submit it immediately. I always recommended doing homework early, but deliver it at the last possible day.

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

·     They don’t apply the simple criteria of successfail 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 to 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 of 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 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.

If you prefer to play videogames, 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 you are 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:

2- 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 the successful student is like. Good.

2- 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, 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 dislike. For example, let’s assume that you dislike Literature (you perhaps think it’s an utterly boredom) but love your humongous pit-bull “Casino Joe” Then you could start thinking how you dog would fit as a character into that novel you have to analyze: what it’s role would be and how he would interact with other characters in the novel.

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

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 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. Even one who has renounced the world has to understand the word relationship properly, because life itself is actually relationship.

"The Harmful Effects of Smoking

 

 



   A smoking addiction occurs when an individual becomes dependent on cigarettes and cannot cease using them without experiencing severe and unpleasant physical and emotional reactions. Such a condition is dangerous with many health risks associated with smoking (around a third of smokers die as a result of their smoking and on average smokers die around ten years earlier than non smokers), and is also antisocial and expensive. Before you can kick the habit however you need to understand it, and before you can understand a smoking addiction you need to realise that it’s a complex interplay of various factors - which is a large part of what makes the addiction so difficult to overcome with only 2.5% of smokers. Smokers should devote some time to think about how smoking is affecting their body and ultimately life, as smoking encompasses numerous ill-effects. It is essential for smokers to realize that how smoking is bad for health and accordingly take proper or correct steps to quit smoking and start living. If one smokes, he owes himself to find out the ill-effects or dangerous effects of smoking in his life.Cigarette smoking is harmful as a single cigarette contains over 4000 chemicals, out of which few are carcinogenic.Cigarette contains nicotine which is a deadly poison.

Acquiring the Habits of Highly Successful Students

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 only means that you have not 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 me the 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 comprises at least one item (a positive or negative driving force)

How Successful Students Prepare for Tests

Are you really doing everything you can to prepare for tests? Re-reading the chapter and looking over your notes is not enough. Below is a list of tips for test preparation from successful students.

1. Keep up to date with assignments.

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

3. Process information as you come to it. Learning information is much different than “becoming acquainted” with it.

4. Process information systematically. Label in the margin works well for most people.

5. Adapt it to suit your learning styles. Capitalize on the discipline label in the margin requires and make it habit to process information from texts and lectures, not just go over it.

6. Have a study place that is free of distractions.

7. Have a specific time for initial study of each subject. You may need more than this time, but having a set time will save you time.

The Secrets of Successful Students

Successful students take charge of their lives and balance their time between fun and work. They know that there is a time for all-nighters, and it’s not during finals week.

Successful Students Take Care of Themselves. Do you live on junk food and lay on the couch watching TV every night? Students with poor physical habits probably don’t feel very energetic in the mornings, and they probably don’t feel good sitting in class, either.

Good food and a little exercise will clear your head! Students who eat junk in moderation (you really don’t have to cut it out completely) and work out in some way are more likely to participate in sports. That means they have more balance in their lives, feel better in the mornings, and are more alert in class.

You just have to change a few habits to feel better. Eat healthy foods, start walking more, take a yoga class, enroll in martial arts classes, or challenge yourself to do sit-ups at night. You’ll notice a change right away.

Thank you, Grace Fleming, for your suggestions.

Secrets of Successful Students

It’s a Matter of Taking Charge of Your Time and Destiny!

Have you ever wondered what successful students do to set themselves apart from the rest? The key is simple: successful students take charge of their own success.

There is no magic trick, power drink, or special class that makes a student excel in the classroom. Students stand out because they take charge of their time and tasks, without relying on anybody else to tell them what to do.

Successful Students Control Their Calendars. Successful students don’t rely on parents or teachers to tell them when assignments are due or when test dates are approaching. They mark special dates in their calendars and keep track of commitments schedules.

Successful students don’t put others in charge of their lives.

Successful Students Prioritize

Do you like to stay out late with friends? Do you like to go to parties? Do you like to watch TV or play video games all night? Well, who doesn’t?

The “C” Student

6.EFFORT: “C” students are capable of sufficient effort, but either fail to realistically evaluate the effort needed to accomplish a task successfully, or lack the desire to meet the challenge. They put forth very little effort. They don’t realize that they will be rewarded according the amount of effort they put into a project. Little effort= bad results.

7.COMMUNICATIONS: “C” students communicate in ways that often limit comprehension or risk misinterpretation. Ideas are not well formulated before they are expressed. Poor listening/reading habits inhibit matching inquiry and response.

8.RESULTS: “C” students obtain mediocre or inconsistent results on tests. They have some concept of what is going on but clearly have not mastered the material.

The “C” Student

CURIOSITY: “C” students seldom explore topics deeper than their face value. They lack vision and bypass interconnectedness of concepts. Immediate relevancy is often their   singular test for involvement.

3.RETENTION: “C” student retain less information and for shorter periods. Less effort seems to go toward organizing and associating learned information with previously acquired knowledge. They display short-term retention by relying on cramming sessions that focus on details, not concepts.

4.ATTITUDE: “C” students are not visibly committed to class. They participate without enthusiasm. Their body language often expresses boredom.

5.TALENT: “C” students vary enormously in talent. Some have exceptional ability but show undeniable signs of poor self-management or bad attitudes. Others are diligent but simply average in academic ability.

Source: The Teaching Professor. Paraphrased from John H. Williams, Clarifying Grade Expectations, August/September, 1993 and Paul Solomon and Annette Nellon, Communicating About the Behavioral Dimensions of Grades, February, 1996.

1.ATTENDANCE: “C” students are often late and miss class frequently. They put other priorities ahead of academic work. In some cases, their health or constant fatigue renders them physically unable to keep up with the demands of high-level performance. They think it is ‘cool’ to be tardy because it makes them think they are big shots. Skipping class is another downfall for the “C” and failing students.

2.PREPARATION: “C” students may prepare their assignment consistently, but often in a perfunctory manner. Their work may be sloppy or careless. At times, it is incomplete or late. They postpone doing home assignments in order to text friends, visit friends on Facebook, or send tweets to some of their followers. They take shortcuts to complete academic work. They are short-sighted because they can’t see the long range destruction of taking shortcuts. It never pays off.
