"Success is dependent on effort."

- Sophocles, Greek dramatist 

What this means is that you cannot have one without the other. It is like the food chain. If you mess with one of the categories  it will disrupt the others as well. In other words, the cannot be without each other! Success depends on effort, and effort depends on success. And without any. you cannot have either. So you better do both so you have effort to succeed.

Choose Where to Study

Where you should study depends on two factors: the environment in which you are best able to concentrate and the type or work you are planning to do.

·       The best places to study have good light, a comfortable temperature and enough desk space – usually your dorm room, your apartment or the library.

·       For completing problem sets or brainstorming possible test questions, you may want to study with a group or at least in a setting where fellow students are available for discussion.

·       When you are reading book chapters or working on a research paper, you are probably better off in a less social environment.  

Improve Your Study Habits  

Here are simple steps you can take to help you get a handle on studying:

·       Have a routine for where and when you study.

·       Choose reasonable and specific goals that you can accomplish each study session.

·       Do things that are harder or require more intense thought at your most productive time of the day.

·       Take breaks if you need them so you don’t waste time looking at material but not absorbing it.

·       Get to know students whom you respect and can study with or contact to ask questions.

·       Keep up with the workload and seek help when you need it.

Develop Good Study Habits

In college, you’ll need to build on the study skills that you learned in high school. The demands of a college class are probably more rigorous than you are used to.

You can succeed by knowing what to expect and how to handle it. Think of college as a full time job, in which you spend 40 hours doing homework.

Be organized and using you time well are essential. Learn more about time management, and use the guidelines below to develop your study skills.
Decide When to Study

Work out about how many hours you need to study every day. Then make a schedule.

·       Figure out what blocks of time you have available throughout the day, in the evenings and on the weekends.

·       Consider what time of the day you are most alert—there are morning people and night owls—and try to schedule your studying accordingly.

·       Think about whether you do better studying for a few hours at a time or sitting down for marathon sessions.

Perseverance 

1. Homework: I always do my homework every night. 

2. Team you might play on: I might want to play for the San Fransisco Giants. 

3. Instrument you might play: I might want to continue to play the violin.  

4. Tasks at home: My tasks at home are to do my chores such as take out the trash, wash the dishes, and so on.

A time I persevered was when was when I had a major exam the next day. But my relatives from Ohio came over here to California. They were going to go out. I either had the choice to go with them or study. So to sum up, they didn't go out. They actually helped me study for my exam!

"Choosing the right is always the right thing to do." 

Alex Linares 

This quotes means that if you do right, good things will happen to you. An example could be this student. He always chose the wrong and guess what? He grew tired of getting into enough trouble and chose to do the right! Hopefully this student is still doing good. Another example could be, lets say you have an exam the nest day. But your favorite show is airing as well, but the episode is a really long one. You either have two options: study for that very important exam or watch your favorite television show. So if you chose study, you are on the right path to success. If you chose watch your favorite show, you need to work on that. You need to choose those decisions more wisely!

10 Management Tips for Students

Tips 5-10

Tip 5. Review Your Notes Every Day.

Reviewing helps you reinforce what you’ve, so you need less time to study before a test. You’ll also be ready if you called on in class or have to take a pop quiz.

Tip 6. Get a Good Night’s Sleep.

Your brain needs rest to perform at its peak. Lack of sleep makes the day seem longer and your tasks seem more difficult.

Tip 7. Communicate Your Schedule to Others.

If phone calls or text messages are proving to be a distraction, tell your friends that you are only available at certain times of day and not to expect a response at other times.

Tip 8. Become a taskmaster.

Give yourself a time budget and plan your activities accordingly. Figure out how much free time you have each week before you add any commitments.

Tip 9. Don’t Waste Time Agonizing.

Instead of agonizing and procrastinating, just do it. Wasting an entire evening worrying about something that you’re supposed to be doing is not productive, and can increase your stress.  

Tip 10. Determine Your Priorities.

You can’t do everything at once. Establish the importance of each item. Then set realistic goals that are attainable.

Cleanliness

Cleanliness 

Cleanliness is important to everyone. Not ponly you, but others! You need cleanliness around your working area because you work better in that type of environment. It is really important to have a neat and organized school because you represent it. You do not want a visitor to come to an ugly disorganized school. Then people will criticize you and the students. But you do not want that, you want people to talk positive facts about you! So keep your school clean. Even though it is not yours, just pick it up and throw it in the waste basket!

"It's better to be alone than to be in bad company." 

ANON 

This quote means that you need to stay with the people who respect you and your decisions. Friends are the ones who are there for you and never disrespect him. Your friends aren't the ones who influence you negative things. An example for being lonely rather than being in bad company can be, kids who are CTW's. They are forcing you do pull all-nighters and do drugs and drink. Those are not your friends. These are your enemies and you need to stay away from them everyday! Now friends. These people respect your opinion and personality. They do not treat you like scum, they treat you equally and fair. So stay away from these low life people who will become failures, and stay with the people who will succeed in life and their dreams will be endless!

"Improvement begins with I."

ANON

This quote means so much. It is true, if you want to improve you have to start with yourself. If you don't start you get nowhere. Other people can't be there for you, you have to be independent and individual! So example, let's say you were absent one day for school. The teacher are not going to go up to you and tell you what you missed. YOU have to go up the teacher and ask them yourself. Another example could be Christoper Dornor. If he had chose the right he would not have murdered all those people he would be alive right now.

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw

3) Heart: Always do what is right so your heart, your conscience, will feel peaceful. When you do wrong, your conscience will prick you and create regretful sensations within your heart. When you do what you honestly feel, you won’t have any regrets. Your heart is your internal compass—it gives you direction and discernment. Just like a magnetic compass gives directions, even true north, your personal compass, your heart, will point you in the true north, the exact directions and paths you need to trod.

4) Soul: Study scriptures and other sacred literature daily. In other words, feed your spirit because your spirit needs spiritual food just like your physical body needs temporal food to survive. Pondering, meditating, and reflecting are excellent Soul-sharpening activities. Try writing your thoughts, feelings, aspirations, concerns, and decisions in a diary or journal. Writing helps you focus and make good decisions.

Get into the habit of daily improving your body (physical fitness), your mind, your heart, and your soul.

"If you do what's right, you have no need to fear." 

ANON

This quote means so much if you are one of those people who do wrong. If you do good you will worry about nothing. But of you do bad you will worry about every little thing. So lets say a student does his homework all the time, and still is. And another student who rarely does it. That kid who doesn't do it has to fear or worry about that. He will have to worry about the teacher sending him to the office or calling his parents. So remember this, if you do good you will never have to worry about the past. But if you do something bad you will always worry and watch your back! Always do the right, rather than do the wrong.

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw

Teens should never get too busy living to take time to renew themselves. When teens “sharpen the saw” they are keeping their personal self-sharp so that they can better deal with life. It means regularly renewing and strengthening the four key dimensions of life-body, mind, heart, and soul.

1.)   Body. Eat wholesome foods, fruits, vegetables, legumes. Avoid illegal drugs, smoking, alcohol, tobacco products, tattooing. Exercise regularly and effectively. Get plenty of rest at night and get up early each morning. “Early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.”

2.)    Mind. Think positively. Read. Study. Think. Analyze. Seek to read a good book each month. Then each week. Ask intelligent questions. Observe. Develop your mind through positive “self-talk.”

• To your country

What I just saw was amazing. Two rival teams that wanted the championship title decided to help a girl. Sarah wanted to hit a homerun, and she did. But she failed to touch first base, he went back but hurt her knee. The umpire rules that no one touch her or her homerun will not count. So two girls that played for Western Oregon; Mallory and Liz helped her out. So two rival teams Western Oregon and Central Washington ended up helping eachother. The two girls were very loyal by doing this. Western Oregon ended up losing and for Sarah, she ended her baseball career with homerun. She had to end baseball because she hurt her knee.

"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much."

Helen Keller

What this quote by Helen Keller is saying two minds is greater than one. If you have two people you will have greater chances of learning better compared to doing it on you own. An example could be, lets say you need to study for an important exam. You are all alone and need someone to quiz  you. That is why together you can do so much. If you need help on a problem you can ask for help from that person. So it is up to you, you can do so little or so poor by yourself. Or get a better understanding from a friend. I am not saying be a free loader and get all the answers from your friends, you need to put some effort in order for you to really understand the subject. So remember, two minds is greater than one. If you are unsure of this quote it basically means the same thing as Helen Keller quote.
