Time Management: 8 of 10

Time Management

8 of 10

Master the moments and you may be a real pro when it comes to juggling the many demands on your time – classes, homework and activities – with some family help. College gives you an even bigger chance to sharpen your time management skills by doing it all on your own. And that’s a good thing since most jobs require multitasking. You might need to take care of current clients while attracting new ones, respond to e-mails while working on a major presentation, or order tomorrow’s produce while planning next week’s menu.

Someone said, “Wherever you are, be there.” Focus on the present moment and give it all your attention. Don’t let your mind drift and wander here and there when you need to be thinking and concentrating on the moment at hand. You can’t go back and recapture this moment, so make the most of it while it NOW. Master the present and you will master the future. Work smart by mastering the present now.

Cool Under Pressure

6 of 10

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’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 worry about it. In fact, it will be your chance to shine, to reveal the hard work you have put into preparing for the test. You will be rewarded for the effort you have thrust into your studies. Preparation helps you maintain your cool under pressure. Preparation generates energy and enthusiasm; therefore, prepare and your coolness under pressure is sure to abound.

Initiative: 5 of 10

Initiative

5 of 10

Initiative is creativity, inventiveness, originality, ingenuity, imagination. Every time you respond in class, every time you choose your own research topic, every time you put together your 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 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.

Student Success Statement by Orison Swetts Marden

Student Success Statement

"To be great--concentrate."

Orison Swett Marden

Reflection:

In order to have a bright future, one must concentrate on what their future will be about. For example, if you have a goal you want to accomplish, and you keep forgetting about it, then you are not concentrating on that goal. Concentration helps a lot because that is what keeps us on that path to success and concentration helps us choose the right and become better people.

Student Success Statement by Robert Kiyosaki

Student Success Sattement

"Your future is created by what you do today, not tomorrow."

Robert Kiyosaki

Reflection:

In order for us to have a better future tomorrow, it all depends on what you you do today. If want to do something tomorrow, and we don't do nothing today, then we don't have a future yet until we have accomplished today. If we want a bright future, we must set our future right now, because if we wait too long, it will be too late.
