NEVER 

"There is no justification ever for choosing any part of what you know to be evil."

Ayn Rand 

(novelist, philosopher, playwright, screenwriter)

What this quote means is that you should never ever choose the wrong. Choose the wrong also refers to evil! You never want to choose evil. You also want to be something better than evil because you are choosing to represent yourself as a terrible person. So remember this, always choose the right rather tah choosing the wrong! CTR!NEVE

How to Take on College Studying

Part 2

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.

Well, this story starts off with two young girls racing in a famous sport called cross country. An then one girl gets hurt, and guess what happens? 

It starts off with two girls racing. They both had a equal record. Whoever was the winner of that race was going to the state championships. Deb, who was a more experienced runner was ahead of Jenna a sompmore student. Deb was running and her stomach started to hurt. Her doctors said it was like a broken bone. So shes there on the floor crying in pain. And Jenna could actually win this race, but she does not continue. She picks Deb up gently and walks at first, but then started jogging. They jogged it together to the finish line. But Jenna pushed Deb one step ahead of her and Deb won the race. Th crowd started in cheer but finished in tears.

"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!

"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!

Habit 6: Synergize

Synergy is achieved when two or more people work together to create something better than either could alone. Through this habit, teens learn it doesn’t have to be “your way” or “my way” but rather a better way, a higher way. Synergy is the reward, the delicious fruit you’ll taste as you get better at living the other habits, especially at thinking Win-Win and seeking first to understand. Learning to synergize is like learning to form V formations with others instead of trying to fly through life solo. You’ll be amazed at how much faster and farther you’ll go. Synergy doesn’t just happen. It’s a process. You have to get there. And the foundation of getting there is this: Learn to celebrate differences.

A good band is a great example of synergy. It’s not just the drums, or the guitar, or the sax, or the vocalist, it’s all of them together that make up the “sound.” Each band member brings his or her strengths to the table to create something better than each could alone. No instrument is more important than another, just different.

4. Think Win-Win

Teens can learn to foster the belief that it is possible to create an atmosphere of Win-Win in every relationship. This habit encourages the idea that in any given discussion or situation both parties can arrive at a mutually beneficial solution. Your teen will learn to celebrate the accomplishments of others instead of being threatened by them. Win-Win is a belief that everyone can win. It’s both nice and tough all at once. I won’t step on you, but I won’t be your doormat either. You care about other people and you want them to succeed. But you also care about yourself, and you want to succeed as well. Win-Win is abundant. It is the belief that there’s plenty of success to go around. It’s not either you or me. It’s both of us. It’s not a matter of who gets the biggest piece of the pic. There’s more than enough food for everyone. It’s an all-you-can-eat buffet.

          Win-Win always creates more. Perhaps the most surprising benefits of thinking Win-Win is the good feelings it brings on. The true test of whether or not you are thinking Win-Win or one of the alternatives is how you feel. Win-Lose and Lose-Win thinking will cloud your judgment and fill you with negative feelings.

Win-Win will fill your heart with happy and serene thoughts. It will give you confidence. Even fill you with light. Think Win-Win or no deal.

Kindness

Kindness 

I believe kindness should go to every single person in the world. Kindness can be anything, for example helping others in need of your assistance. Another example could be from a evil person. Lets say a thief that steals. That is choosing the wrong, and for stealing you get a consequence. The consequence could be jail time or prison. There can be many more  examples of kindness. I have provided two examples of kindness, one positive and one negative. To be more kind I will TRY to have more patience will stupid people with act ignorant and disrespect their elders or teacher!!! I still cannot be surely positive about being more kind to immature, rather. So yes, this is what I will try to do with my future reference life. Be More Kind! And all you who disrespect your elders, please don't! I am begging you not to. And least show some respect and dignity to your elders and teachers. Maybe this can be your objective for kindness!

"The only difference between those who have failed and those who have succeeded lies in the difference of their habits. Good habits are the key to all success. Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure. Thus, the first law I will obey; which precedeth all others is--'I will form good habits and become their slaves." 

Og Mandino   

In my short yet brief summary, we will talk about this outstanding quote. Basically if you do right and do what you are supposed to do you succeed. An if slack off and don't do whats said to be done, you will fail. I mean not only fail a test but also life. You mostly see people succeeding if they went to school and finished. Plus they went to college. And now for the opposite, if you fail everything, come late, and don't do anything in life,  you will be nothing in life. You will work for the circus according to my new media teacher a while back. This only goes for the slackers and the kids/adults who are NOT responsible!

"Keep your eye on the prize."

What this means is that you have to do what you want to accomplish. Like for example I want to be a federal agent or either a doctor. So in order for me to do that I must stay in school, stay out of trouble, and get help others who have first hand experience. So this means to keep an eye on what you would like to do.

"Nothing is ever gained in doing what's wrong."

Wilford Woodruff

 

This quote is is absolutely correct. If you do whats right you will have evrything you possibly wanted. But id you choose the wrong, you will get nothing. So if you do not believe in this quote, I believe you have gotten nothing. What I mean by nothing is that you have done something wrong and didn't achieve anything. But let's say you have done right, you will be flourished with gifts, such as respect, honesty, loyalty, and much more.

… owns or has easy access to a computer with Internet access and e-mail

You don’t have to be a computer expert to be successful in online learning—but you must have access to a personal computer with reliable Internet access, as well as a basic level of competency in using them. Owning a computer with Internet access from your home is ideal but many students use the computer labs on campus or at their offices to complete their work.

… has basic computer skills and is willing and open to learning new ones

We said you don’t have to be a computer expert to be successful in online learning. However, there are some basic technical skills you should have mastered prior to enrolling in an online course.

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 personal, 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.

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 be 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 problems for college students. It ultimately causes many students to become non-students! Procrastinators are good excuse-makers. Stop procrastinating. And don’t wait until tomorrow to do it!

The 10 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.

"It is our duty to concentrate all our influence to make popular that which is sound and good, and (to make) unpopular that which is unsound (and not good)."

Joseph Smith

 

What this quote means is that to focus on the good things but not the bad. I mean it is common sense to do good rather than bad. If you are one of those people who constantly choose the wrong I think you are dumd or something. Your are just ruining someone else's day just because you did wrong. But if you do good and choose the right, I wish I could shake your had right now. Hopefully you stay on that path and don't go off track. So either way, if you are on the wrong path I encourage you to go on the right path while you still can!

9. . . .don’t cram for exams. Successful students know that divided periods of study are more effective than cram sessions, and they practice it.

If there is one thing that study skills specialists agree on, it is that distributed study is better than massed, last-ditch efforts known as cramming. You’ll learn more, remember more, and earn a higher grade by studying in four, one hour-a-night sessions for Friday’s exam than studying for four hours straight on Thursday night. Short, concentrated preparatory efforts are more efficient and rewarding than wasteful, inattentive, last moment marathons. Yet, so many students fail to learn this lesson and end up repeating it over and over again until it becomes a wasteful habit. Not too clever, huh?  

When you cram, you are taking the shortcut, and shortcuts never produce any real worthwhile results. Also, when you take shortcuts, you feel rather rotten knowing that you could have done better but didn’t. Shortcuts cut you short. You can’t plant watermelon seeds and harvest fresh watermelons the next day. It takes time. Cramming for a test or project and expecting to make a high score the next day is like planting watermelon seeds and expecting to harvest and eat fresh watermelons the day. Plus cramming for a test or project doesn’t help you academically, so why even do it. Plan ahead, prepare ahead. Give yourself plenty of days and weeks to prepare for upcoming accountability opportunities.

"What's right isn't always popular. What's popular isn't always right."

Howard Cosell

 

 

What this quote means it that when something is popular it isn't right. But what is right isn't popular.

 

An example would be that most kids do what what others kids do. Lets sya drugs for instance. One kid tries it, then others will most likely follow him. In other words, someone smokes a cigarratte, then others will ask and follow the first user

 

Another example would be if someone dress unappropiate, the others will follow. What I mean by dressing unappropiate is that some people don't use a belt and sag. Others may wear really short dresses. And also some people hardly wear clothes that cover their chest's and up.

 

To sum up, people tend to follow others for the wrong purpose.

 

But some people actually do choose the right. They follow instructions and turn in work. They are the future key holders for our future. Hopefully they stay on the right path!

7. . . .understand that actions affect learning. Successful students know their personal behavior affect their feelings and emotions which in turn can affect learning.

If you act in a certain way that normally produces particular feelings, you will begin to experience those feelings. Act like you’re bored, and you’ll become bored. Act like you’re disinterested, and you’ll become disinterested. So the next time you have trouble concentrating in the classroom, “act” like an interested person: lean forward, place your feet flat on the floor, maintain eye contact with the professor, nod occasionally, take notes, and ask questions. Not only will you benefit directly from your actions, your classmates and professor may also get more excited and enthusiastic.

8. . . .talk about when they’re learning. Successful students get to know something well enough that they can put it into words. Talking about something, with friends or classmates, is not only good for checking whether or not you know something, it’s a proven learning tool. Transferring the ideas into words provides the most direct path for moving knowledge from short-term to long-term memory. You really don’t “know” material until you can put it into words. So, next time you study, don’t do it silently. Talk about notes, problems, readings, etc. with friends, recite to a chair, organize an oral study group, pretend you’re teaching your peers. “Talk-learning” produces a whole host of memory traces that results in more learning.

6. . . . take good notes. Successful students take notes that are understandable and organized, and review them often.

Why put something into your notes doesn’t understand? Ask the questions now that are necessary to make your notes meaningful at some later time. A short review of your notes while the material is still fresh on your mind helps you to learn more. The more you learn then, the less you’ll have to learn later and the less time it will take you won’t have to include some deciphering time, also. The whole purpose of taking notes is to use them, and use them often. The more you use them, the more they improve.
