Student Success Statement by Herbert Kaufman

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:

If you you want to be successful, you have to have courage. Without courage, you will never be successful, you will only be a failure. Courage is what keeps us reaching our dreams and never giving up on them. Being a failure isn't something to be happy about, because failure will lead you nowhere. But courage will lead you to success.

Student Success Statement

"Persistence can change failure into extraordinary achievement."

Matt Biondi

Reflection:

If we want to change our ways and not fail anymore, we must be persistent about what we are doing. For example, if we want to make the football team, we must work hard and not give up on ourselves, that way we could make the team. If we give up, we won't become champions, instead, we will become a failure. Be persistent and never give up on your dreams and goals.

Student Success Statement by Gilbert Arland

Student Success Statement

"When an archer misses the mark, he turns and looks for the fault within himself. Failure to hit the bulls-eye is never the fault of the target. To improve your aim, improve yourself."

Gilbert Arland

Reflection:

When you try to achieve a goal, and you fail to meet that goal, you feel sadness within yourself because you didn't accomplish what you wanted. For example, if you were going to take a test the next day, and you only study for 30 minutes instead oh an hour, and the next day you take the test and you fail, you should feel all that failure inside yourself because you didn't try hard enough. So to get better, one must improve themselves. That way, we can be able to accomplish our goals.

Student Success Statement by Og Mandino

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 others is--'I will form good habits and become their slaves.' "

Og Mandino

Reflection:

People have different habits that make them the person that they are. For some, successful habits are what have made them good people, even though they might have failed in the beginning. But others have used their bad habits to try to cheat their way through life without suffering the hard tasks of work. These people have made a big mistake by cheating their way through life because unlike successful people, people with bad habits are people that choose the wrong. For example, people cheat on tests so they can get good grades without failing and pass school without doing any type of hard work. Peole with good habits are people that know what CTR stands for. So, even though you might fail at first, continue to choose hte right and you will live a life with no regret.

Successful Students: 10

Successful Students

10

10. Successful students are good time managers. Successful students do not procrastinate. They have learned that time control is life control and have consciously chosen to be in control of their life.

An element truth: you will either control time or be controlled by it! It’s your choice: you can lead or be led, establish control or relinquish control, steer your own course or follow others. Failure to take control of their own time is probably the no. 1 study skills problem for college students. It ultimately causes many students to become non-students! Procrastinators are good excuse-makers. Don’t make academics harder on yourself than it has to be. Stop procrastinating. And don’t wait until tomorrow to do it!

The 10 items listen above are paraphrased from an article by Larry M Ludewig called Ten Commandments for Effective Study Skills which appeared in The Teaching Professor, December, 1992.
