“You make your habits and your habits make you.”
-ANON
This quote means that you make your habits, you form
them. And your habits have influence on how people view you, so in a sense, they
form you.

7 Habits of Highly Successful Students
7 Habits of
Highly Successful Teens
By Sean
Covey
For teens, life is not a playground, it’s a jungle. And,
being the parent of a teenager isn’t any walk in the park, either. In his book,
The 7 Habits of Effective teens,
author Sean Covey attempts to provide “a compass to help teens and their
parents navigate the problems they encounter daily.”
How will they deal with peer pressure? Motivation? Success
or lack thereof? The life of a teenager is full of tough issues and
life-changing decisions. As a parent, you are responsible t help them learn the
principles and ethics that will help them to reach their goals and live a
successful life.
While it’s all well and good to tell kids how to live their lives,
“teens watch what you do more than they listen to what you say,” Covey says. So
practice what you preach. Your example can be very influential.
Covey himself has done well by following a parent’s example.
His dad, Stephen Covey, wrote the book The
7 Habits of Highly Successful People, which sold over 15 million copies. Sean’s
a chip off the old block, and no slacker. His own book has rung in a more than
respectable 2 million copies sold here are his seven habits, and some ideas for
helping your teen understand and apply them:

Work together. There are a
number of ways that you can ensure you get the most out of your educational
experience. First, participate fully. Engage regularly in the discussions and
be willing to share your professional and educational experiences. You can get
to know your classmates through the dialogue that is created in a course environment—sometimes
even better than in a face-to-face class. And the same goes for your
instructor. Be sure to contact your professor—especially if you are having problems.
He/she is still your instructor and will be there to guide and assist you as
needed.

“It’s not WHERE you live, but HOW you live, that counts.
It’s not WHERE you play the game but HOW you play the game that counts.”
-Mr.Haymore
I think this is a very wise quote. It’s true, it doesn’t
matter if you are rich or poor, or from this country or not, anything is
possible so long as you try your best and chose the right.

A successful student...
…takes responsibility for his/her own learning
Online learning can be a
powerful, stimulating, engaging experience for the student who can work and
think independently. However, since most—If not all—of the learning takes place
on your own time, you will not have the kind of direct supervision you would in
a classroom. Online learning therefore requires a significant commitment from
you. All education comes down to what you’re willing to invest in the
experience –this is a particularly true in the online environment. Commitment,
self-discipline and self-motivation are all key qualities to ensuring success
in an online course!
…is comfortable and confident with written communication
Reading and writing are
the basis of most online courses, so it’s critical that you feel comfortable
with this form of communication. While some courses contain modules that
include videos or other activities, all of them require significant amounts of
reading. And nearly all of your communication with your classmates and your
instructor will be in writing. If these are weak areas for you, you will want
to address those issues prior to enrolling or while enrolled in an online
course. The PSU writing Center is available to assist you.
…is willing to be a member of an online community.

“Goodness is the only investment that never fails.”
-henry David Thoreau
I agree with this statement. When one chooses the
right, it can’t fail; it will be the right thing regardless. Even if things
seem like they didn’t work out, you did the right thing, and that all that
matters.

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 elemental truth: you will either control time or be
controlled by it! It’s your choice: you can lead or 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 cause many students to become non students! Procrastinations
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 ten items listed 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.
