"Always do right."

Mark Twain

Reflection: You should always choose the right. It will lead you in a very good direction, one that will be worth it. Things may not always seem so easy, but rather difficult.. you just need to think positive and motivate yourself into finishing up what is need to be done.

More Tips
Finally, look beyond the article for more clues.

• Read the website's home page and the About Us page. Look for a mission statement to learn more about the site, its purpose and the organization sponsoring it.
• If there is an author listed, look for a biography that discusses the author's education, profession, and other relevant background. If there is no bio on the site, search for one elsewhere on the web.
• Check the date. Facts can change over time, so see if the site shows when it was last updated.
• Presentation counts; look at everything from design to spelling. A clean, well-organized site shows a certain degree of professionalism.
• Avoid sites that are pornographic vulgar, inappropriate, below par, suggestive and falsifying.

"Gold medals don't make champions, hard work does."

ANON

Reflection: This quote is very explicit. There' nothing to question about it. Hard work will pay off, all you need is to motivate yourself and reach the goal you have been aiming for. Trying your best will lead to success. Never give up. Olympic medalists have learned to put their mind to it. Without positiveness, this success couldn't have ever been achieved.

"The first law of success.... Is concentration; to bend all the energies to one point, and to go directly to that point, looking neither to the right nor to the left."

William Mathews

Reflection: Mr. Mathews chose the right. He knows exactly what he's saying. Concentrating will lead to a positive future. If you focus on one thing.. what your mind is set on, then you'll succeed and reach the goal you've been aiming for. Removing all those distracting thoughts from your head will let you pay attention to what you're supposed to. As long as you keep your mind on one thing, there won''t be anything else that will distract you. If you feel you're getting out of track, remind yourself what you're doing. Take a break, relax, then get back on it. Clear your mind, insert positive thoughts in your head, and concentrate on the stuff you're supposed to. Choose the right.

Question
As you survey the text, ask a question for each section. Ask what, why, how, when, who and where questions as they relate to the content. Here's how you can create questions:

• Turn the title, headings, or subheadings into questions.
• Rewrite the questions at the end of the chapter or after each subheading in your own words.

Write down your questions. Questions help you pay attention, understand the text better and recall the information more easily later on.

Read

Read one section of the chapter at a time, actively look for an answer to your question for that section. Pay attention to bold and italicized text that authors use to make important points.

Be sure to review everything in the section, including tables, graphs and illustrations- these features can communicate an idea more powerfully written than text.
