Student Success Statement

"Failure is only postponed success as long as courage coaches ambition. The habit of persistence is the habit of victory."

Herbert Kaufman

Reflection:  I believe this quote is to encourage us/ everyone to do their best. Failure is not an option, that's exactly why one shouldn't have to deal with the disappointment that failure puts in our lives. In order to live a good life, you must have good habits. Good habits will lead to positive vibes, your life will not only become simpler, but very enjoyable. Choose the right.

Part 1

Develop Good Study Habits
In college, you'll need to build on the study skills that you learned in high school. The demands of a college class are probably more rigorous than those you are used to.
You can succeed by knowing what to expect and how to handle it.
Think of college as a full-time job, in which you spend 40 hours a week on class, labs, study groups, and doing homework.

Being organized and using your time well are essential. Learn more about time management, and use the guidelines below to develop your study skills.

Decide When to Study
Work out about how many hours you need to study every day. Then make a schedule.

• Figure out what blocks of time you have available throughout the day, in the evenings, and on the weekends.
• Consider what time of the day you are most alert- there are morning people and night owls- and try to schedule your studying accordingly.
• Think about whether you do better studying for a few hours at a time or sitting down for marathon sessions.

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

Habit 5

5. Seek First to Understand, and then to be Understood
Because most people don't listen very well, one of the great frustrations in life is that many don't feel understood. This habit will ensure your teen learns the most important communication skill there is: active listening. Why is this habit key to communication? It's because the deepest need of the human heart is to be understood. Everyone wants to be respected and valued for who they are- a unique, one-of-a-kind, never-to-be-cloned individual. People won't expose their soft middles unless they feel genuine love and understanding. Once they feel it, however, they will tell you more than you may want to hear. People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.

Listen with your eyes, heart, and ears. 7 percent of communication is contained in the words we use. The rest comes from body language (53 percent) and how we say words, or the tone and feeling reflected in our voice (40 percent).

Most people are eager to talk and had rather talk than listen. We have one mouth and two ears. This mean we should listen twice as much as we talk. Lear to listen and listen and learn. Listen, really listen, for understanding.

Seek first to understand then to be understood- LISTEN.

Student Success Statement

"The only difference between those who have failed and those who have succeeded lies in the difference of their habits. Good habits are the key to all success. Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure. Thus, the first law I will obey, which precedeth all other is- 'I will form good habits and become their slaves.' "

Og Mandino

Reflection: Having good habits will easily help a person stay focused. What the quote means is that everyone has the same amount of time to succeed, but the ones that do are the ones who have goal. With great habits, all can be accessed. For example, a good habit is starting your homework the moment you walk into your house.. those good grades will eventually pay off. You must choose the right.
