If you fell you do not naturally have all those characteristics, then do not despair. Each of them can be accomplished by your own application. You can use meditation and visualization techniques to initiate your vision, and they can certainly be learned both for that purpose and for each step you take to reach your goals, that of being a star student, a champion of doing what is right, and see yourself working hard to become outstanding, and you’re your dreams and vision will materialize as you pursue these objectives. Setting goals and objectives can be a personal or business technique that can be learnt. You can develop inner strength to succeed if you apply yourself to doing just that; that will enable you to recover from setbacks more easily.

What is important to you is that you, as you start to reach milestones in your ambitions, you’ll appreciate your own achievements. It is a boost, of course, if others appreciate that you have done too, but appreciating yourself will strengthen your self-belief, and reinforce your determination to succeed. Some of the key characteristics you will find in those who are successful are perseverance, prepared to research, plan and work hard, practice a lot even when things do not seem to be going well, and an ability to recover and learn from setbacks. At the outset of whatever it is you are trying to succeed in, a strong vision of your future, planning, and setting yourself achievable targets can all play an important role.

Assignment "Be Wise-Never Use Drugs or Alcohol"

Be Wise-Never Use Drugs or Alcohol

Always Choose The Right

 

New Media

[Pick the date]

 

 

Being wise means choosing the right, choosing the right means not doing drugs or drinking alcohol, not doing drugs or drinking alcohol means better health, better health means a brighter future.

                        

Be Wise – Never use drugs or Alcohol

Choosing the right is very wise; it’s an essential part of life, well, of a good life. And I’m sure everyone wants to have a good life. If you do not want to be a failure, have no job, have no money, live in poverty, waste your potential, and be ashamed of yourself, then by all means go ahead and do drugs and drink alcohol. So, if you want to have a good life, make a good living be proud of yourself, and have good health, do not ever do drugs and do not ever drink alcohol. I think the choice is clear, the right choice. Choose the right.

Do not do drugs or consume alcohol. It is very not wise at all to do so. Drugs and alcohol can mess up your life. Being wise is thinking long term, seeing how decisions will affect your future.  Drugs and alcohol have a negative effect on your future, they can be very hazardous to your health and will make you do things you normally would not do.  Doing drugs is not choosing the right, choosing the right is not doing drugs and being wise. Doing drugs and alcohol is the exact opposite of being wise, it serves nogood purpose, all it does is bring bad things, misfortune, upon you. If you don’t do drugs and alcohol, good things await you. Good health a purer mind, all sorts of good things. Choosing the right and being

Whether studying or in general life, planning is an imperative skill. Here, we must strictly set the hours for studying, and should promote regularity in doing so. Don’t put off your studies to the last moment (just before the test), because in that moment you will be feeling stress and pressure, and both factors will prove disturbing for your learning; that the high price of procrastination. During the exam, it’s important to forget about panic and stress. And if you are planning for your thesis, you may find this post useful. Other planning tip in frequently give is that, when you are assigned a homework, try to solve it as quickly as possible, several days before the required date, but don’t try to complete it perfectly and don’t submit it immediately. I always recommend doing homework early, but deliver it at the last possible day.

·         They prefer tasks with some degree of difficulty and novelty, which stimulate their learning skills

·         They don’t apply the simple criteria of success-fail to their learning. Remember, they are focused into the learning process.

·         They know how to handle groups.

·         Finally, they work with passion.

Other chief habit is that of asking questions. We have to establish hypothesis and set concrete, realistic goals. After reading any text we have to ask several different questions related to its content, in order to verify if we have completely understood the text. It’s also important to try to relate such text and other areas of knowledge. Again, linking ideas and concepts is a habit of highly successful student. So, link.

·         They concentrate on the process of solving the task and understanding the involved ideas. Of course we are interested in getting good results, but the process is more important. A result is a very brief moment of life, while learning to develop processes is a skill that will last for the whole life.

·         They interpret and analyze errors as a way of increasing their learning, i.e., they try to learn from their mistakes. This way, they see errors and failures as opportunities.

·         They look for the required information in several channels (books, journals, newspapers, experts, internet, and so on.)

·         They consult experts and teachers frequently. This action provides a new perspective about the studied topics.

·         Everyone wants to be successful in life, but where are the keys to success? Do we have to go out and search for those keys, or do we have those potentials already within ourselves? When we begin to examine life, we can see that it is divided into two aspects – life within and life without: internal life and external life – and we can see that these aspects are of equal importance. Even if we have renounced the world, gone far away from civilization, and live in the wilderness doing nothing but meditation, we cannot ignore external life. We still have to see that we eat, do our ablutions, and perform our practices on time. So life in the external world is as important as life in the internal world.

If you prefer to play video games, then remember that making any game requires to prepare a detailed script including history, characters, goals and relations. Therefore, you could start writing down the script for your “dream” game. On the other side, you could be transformed into a videogame (start out by thinking which gaming genre fits the novel better: role-playing, adventure, action, and so on.) the basic idea is to find match points and links between our affections and our choices. And such links there always exist. Remember, to link ideas and concepts is the most important habit for successful students.

Successful students also exhibit other particular traits we should internalize:

·         They are always trying to discover better approaches in order to accomplish their tasks (adequate studying place, availability of resources, etc.) you may find my post on Pristine Home with Feng Shui useful for improving your studying environment.

2- Success is about achieving goals, and therefore is a relative notion. Highly successful students are those which set realistic goals, and attain them with the proper investment of resources. Thus, not necessarily the student with the best grades is the most successful learner. Now, we have stated what the successful student is like. Good.

2- If you have negative entries in your list of driving forces, it’s time to improve things quite a bit. First, identify other topics that you indeed like a lot, not necessarily related to studying. Perhaps you like pets, to cook or to play videogames. Now, try to establish associations or links between these favorite activities of yours and the subject of study that you dislike. For example, let’s assume that you dislike literature ( you perhaps think it’s an utterly boredom) but love your humongous pit-bull “Casino Joe” then you could start thinking how your dog would fit as a character into that novel you have to analyze: what its role would be and how he would interact with other characters in the novel.

The body is related to the breath, and the breath is related to the mind. The body, breath, senses, and mind all function together as a unit. So life virtually means relationship, and thus the art of living and being requires an understanding of one’s relationship to the external world and the relationships within oneself.

All human beings have inner potentials, but many people are not aware of those potentials and do not know how to use them to have a successful life. Those who are not happy internally can never be happy externally: those who are not happy with themselves can never make others happy. Those who do not love themselves can never love others.

Even one who has renounced the world has to understand the word relationship properly, because life itself is actually relationship.
