Acquiring the Habits of Highly Successful Students –Part 13

If you feel 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. Simply visualize your desired goals, that of being a star student, a champion of doing what is right, and see yourself working hard to become outstanding, and your dreams and vision will materialize as you pursue these objectives. Setting goals and objectives can be personal or business technique that can be learnt. You can develop inner strength to succeed if you apply yourself to doing just that; that that will enable you to recover from setbacks more easily.

Be Wise – Never Use Drugs or Alcohol ~


Be Wise – Never Use Drugs or Alcohol

Alcohol’s effect on the brain causing sedation or drunkenness, it causes a general loss of brain tissue. Cirrhosis of the liver is a condition that alcohol is known to cause and is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. When the liver is diseased with cirrhosis, it is unable to function normally. Heart disease is another concern for individuals who drink. Those who drink have an increased risk of developing high blood pressure, which can then go on to cause strokes or further heart problems. Alcohol is associated with cancers of the mouth, tongue, throat, esophagus, stomach, liver, lung, pancreas, colon (large intestine), and rectum. Fetal alcohol syndrome is a condition in which infants born to mothers who drink during pregnancy suffer such consequences as retarded growth; malformed features such as a large face, small eyes, short nose; and brain damage.

Almost all drugs overstimulate the pleasure center of the brain, flooding it with the neurotransmitter dopamine. That produces euphoria, and that heightened pleasure can be so compelling that the brain wants that feeling back again and again. Unfortunately, with repeated use of a drug, the brain becomes accustomed to the dopamine surges by producing less of it, so the user has to take more of the drug to feel the same pleasure. Continued use causes rapid breathing, irritability, impulsiveness, aggression, nervousness, insomnia, weight loss, tolerance, addiction, and possible heart failure.




-“Drug Free is the Way to be.”
- “Alcoholic drinks bite like a serpent, sting like an adder.”
 







The overuse or abuse of alcohol or other drugs is called substance abuse. It can cause or worsen many medical problems and can destroy families and lives.

It isn’t good for yourself; your body and your loved ones.

What is important to you is that you, as you start to reach your milestones in your ambitions, appreciate your own achievements. It is 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 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 play an important role.

Acquiring the Habits of Highly Successful Students –Part 11

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’ll be feeling stress and pressure, and both factors will prove disturbing for your learning; that’s the high price of procrastination. During the exam, it’s important to forget about panic and stress. And if you’re planning for your thesis, you may find this post useful.  Other planning tip I frequently 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 it immediately. I always recommend doing homework early, but deliver it at the last possible day.

o   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.

o  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.

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

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

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 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 identity other topics that you indeed like a lot, not necessarily related to studying. Perhaps you like pets, to cook or play videogames. Now try to establish associations or links between these favorite activities of yours and the subject of study that you dislike …

Acquiring the Habits of Highly Successful Students Part 3

Everyone wants to be successful in life, but where are the keys to success? Do we have to go out and search for the keys, or do we have those potentials already within ourselves? When we begin to examine life, we can see that it’s divided into two aspects – life within and life without; internal life and external life – and we can see those aspects are of equal importance. Even if we have renounced the world, gone far away of 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. Even one who has renounced the world has to understand the word relationship
properly, because life itself is actually relationship.

“The Harmful Effects of Smoking” ;


“The Harmful Effects of Smoking”


o  Every year hundreds of thousands of people around the world die from diseases caused by smoking cigarettes - Smoking KILLS.

o  Tobacco smoke also contributes to a number of cancers.

o  The mixture of nicotine and carbon monoxide in each cigarette you smoke temporarily increases your heart rate and blood pressure, straining your heart and blood vessels. This can cause heart attacks and stroke. It slows your blood flow, cutting off oxygen to your feet and hands. Some smokers end up having their limbs amputated.

o  Tar coats your lungs like soot in a chimney and causes cancer.

o   Emphysema for example is an illness that slowly rots your lungs. People with emphysema often get bronchitis again and again, and suffer lung and heart failure.
•Lung cancer from smoking is caused by the tar in tobacco smoke.

•Cigarette smoking during pregnancy increases the risk of low birth weight, prematurity, spontaneous abortion, and perinatal mortality in humans, which has been referred to as the fetal tobacco syndrome.
•Smoking causes disease and is a slow way to die. The strain of smoking effects on the body often causes years of suffering.

 

We know that smoking kills and that quitting makes sense but what about the effect on others? The effects of smoking on human health are serious and in many cases, deadly. There are approximately 4000 chemicals in cigarettes, hundreds of which are toxic. The ingredients in cigarettes affect everything from the internal functioning of organs to the efficiency of the body's immune system. The effects of cigarette smoking are destructive and widespread.

The Secrets of Successful Students Part02

Successful Students take charge of their lives and balance their time between fun and work. They know that there is a time for all-nighters, and it’s not during finals week.
Successful Students Take Care of Themselves
Do you live on junk food and lay on the couch watching TV every night? Students with poor physical habits probably don’t feel very energetic in the mornings, and they probably don’t feel good sitting in class, either.

Good food and little exercise will clear your head! Students who eat junk in moderation (you really don’t to cut it out completely) and work out in some way are more likely to participate in sports. That means they have more balance in their lives, feel better in the mornings, and are more alert in class.
You just have to change a few habits to feel better. Eat healthy foods, start walking more, take a yoga class, enroll in martial arts classes, or challenge yourself to do sit-ups every night. You’ll notice a change right away.

Thank You, Grace Fleming, for your suggestions.

Secrets of Successful Students
Part01
It’s a Matter of Taking Charge of Your Time and Destiny!

Have you ever wondered what successful students do to set themselves apart from the rest? The key is simple: successful students take
charge of their own success.


There is no magic trick, power drink or special class that makes a student excel in the classroom.
Students stand out because they take charge of their time and their tasks, without relying on anybody else to tell them what to do.

Successful Students Control Their Calendars.
Successful students don’t rely on parents or teachers to tell them when assignments are due or when test dates are approaching. They mark special dates in their calendars and keep track of commitments and schedules.

Successful students don’t put others in charge of their lives.

Successful Students Prioritize
Do you like to stay out late with friends? Do you like to go to Parties? Do you like to watch TV or play video games all night? Well, who doesn’t?

The “C” Student ;


The “C” Student

EFFORT: “C” students are capable of sufficient effort, but either fail to realistically evaluate the effort needed to accomplish a task successfully, or lack the desire to meet the challenge. They put forth very little effort. They don’t realize that they will be rewarded according the amount of effort they put into a project. Little efforts=bad results.

COMMUNICATION
:   “C” students communicate in ways that often limit comprehension or risk misinterpretation. Ideas are not well formulated before they are expressed. Poor listening/reading habits inhibit matching inquiry and response.

RESULTS: “C” students obtain mediocre or inconsistent results on tests. They have some concept of what is going on but clearly have not mastered the material.
