“Honesty is the cornerstone of character. The honest man or woman seeks not merely to avoid criminal or illegal act, but to be scrupulously fair, upright, fearless, in both action and expression. Honesty pays dividends both in dollars and in piece of mind.”

-B.C. Forbes

Honest people do not just avoid doing bad stuff, they try their best to do the right thing. Even if it means going the extra mile, to be successful you must be willing to make sacrifices like that.

Time Management

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 emails 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, so make the most of it while it’s there. Master the present and you will master the future. Work smart by mastering the present moment.

Attention to Detail

Attention to Detail

When you double-check your calculations for a math problem or cite sources carefully in a research paper, you’re paying close attention to detail. That skill comes in handy in any workplace, whether you maintain a database, keep a log of the hours you spend with clients or write emails.

John wooden, UCLA’s former great basketball coach who led his teams to ten consecutive national championships, was asked what he attributed his success to. Among a number of things, he mentioned that paying attention to details was one of the most important qualities for successful coaching and for high achievement in any worthwhile pursuit. He even paid attention to how his players would lace up and tie their shoe strings. If they didn’t tie them correctly he would show them how.

Details may be small things but from small things come great things; therefore, pay attention to details and you will experience substantial progress in your overall educational attainment.
