"Take care of yourself and everything else will fall into place"

 

Coach David Diamont

 

 

If you take care of yourself then you will have the ability to take care of everything else. If you don't take care of yourself then noone will take care of all your other work that is need to be done. That it is why it is vital for you to take care of yourself not only mentally but emotionaly and spiritually as well. Something you can do to help you can do to improve your body and mind is yoga, or other simple exercise that connect you with your innerself.

If you feel you do not naturally have all those characteristics, then don’t 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 be learned both for that purpose and for each step you can take to reach your goals. Simply visualize your desired goals, that of being a successful star student, a champion of doing what is right, and see yourself working hard to become outstanding, and you’re dream 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 you ambitions, you appreciate. It’s a boost of course, if others appreciate what 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 don’t 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 play an important role.

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’s the high price of procrastination. During the exam, its 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 I 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 immediately. I always recommend doing homework early, but deliver it at the last day 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 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 our knowledge. Again, linking ideas and concepts is a habit of highly successful students. So link

·         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 we can see that these aspects are of equal importance. Even if we 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 videogames, 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 imagine how the novel you are reading could be transformed into a videogame (start out by thinking which game 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 chores. 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.

Irresponsible/ teen	Somewhat irresponsible/ teen	Somewhat responsible/ teen	Responsible/ teen
Irresponsible/ adult	Somewhat  responsible/ adult	Somewhat Responsible/ adult	Responsible/ adult

 

Being responsible is a learned behavior.  It is not an accident and it requires patience and effort.  If you want to be more You can become more responsible by following these steps

·       

 

1.  Listen and follow directions in school

 

2.  Ask questions when you are confused or don’t understand

 

3.  Write down your assignments and projects

 

4.  Set a regular schedule to help you complete your school work

 

5.  Study regularly for tests

 

6.  Ask for help from others (friends, parents, teachers) when necessary

 

7.  Accept that being a student is your job and plan to do it well

 

 

   

 

   

    What if it really is the teacher’s fault?

 

 

 

 Teachers do make mistakes and occasionally a school problem really can be the fault of the teacher or adult in charge.  In these situations, it is important to practice your self-advocacy skills and explain your concern to the teacher.  If this action does not produce satisfactory results, weigh the importance of involving others.  Your decision will depend upon the significance of the situation and what is resting on the outcome (grade, trust, reputation, etc.)  If you decide to involve a parent or other school official, explain the situation as factually as possible and ask for their suggestions.  Avoid blame or other negative emotions that are likely to result in further problems.  Follow the course of action that develops and resolve the situation as soon as possible.

2.   Success is about achieving goals, and therefore is a relative notion. Highly Successful students people 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 successful student is like. Good.

 

3.   If you have negative entries in your list of driving forces, it is time to improve things quite a bit. First, identity 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 literature (you perhaps think its utterly boredom) but you 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 breathes senses and mind all function together as a unit. So life virtually means relationship, 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 aren’t happy internally can never be happy externally; those who are not happy with themselves they can’t be happy with others. Those who do not love themselves can never love others.

If we are to succeed in life we must hone our learning skills.

 

1- The first step in this direction is to sincerely point out the driving force or motivation. Let relax and start   listing the reasons that impel you to study some topic as crude as they may be. It possible that your list is empty. Don’t  worry it  only means  that you  have not identified  any  reason  to study  the  chosen and very specific point (it for sure that you are an excellent learner in other areas of life.) If you don’t have any motivation to study, then give me the list of reasons why you don’t want to study, and please note that the list cannot be empty. Whether you found a huge list of driving forces or a list of reasons for not studying, the end product of this step compromises at least one item (a positive or negative driving force.
