“Stop worrying about whether you’re going to win or lose and focus your full attention on what’s happening right this moment.”

-Phil Jackson

When you are attempting to focus on something sometimes you wonder off jumping into conclusions on the future. You have to focus all your attention on the moment because if you do great in that moment you will do great later on. It’s all on skills to focus. For example when you are reviewing for a certain class focus all your attention in order to master the subject and have no trouble on the test. If you master that subject later on you will be able to master other subject and develop a great skill.

“You must live in the present to secure your future.”

-Reverend Robert Craig

Leave the past in the past, and the future in the future focus on what you are doing NOW. Worrying about the past or the future is not going to get you anywhere. You have to focus and live in the present so your future will not be like your past. If you are not living in the present you don’t know what your future will be like. Your future is made of the decisions and actions you take in the present so live it! For example, if I have a game today and I am too busy worried about my past game, my performance will not be as great because I don’t have my focus on it.

Goals

“In life as in football, you won’t go far, unless you know where the goalposts are.”

-Arnold Glasgow

Glasgow is comparing life as football, your goal as the goal post. Without a goal you can’t go far. You push yourself to keep going in life, when you remind yourself your goal. Life without a goal is like running with no finish line. You will jeep running forever without reaching a goal. With a goal set you motivated yourself to do your best to achieve it. Always jeep your goal in mind in order to achieve it and achieve it as fast as you can.

Part 1

Working Together Helps Everyone

You may have noticed that when you’re explaining something you’ve learned to a friend, you begin to understand it better yourself. This happens because, when you explain an idea, you need to think more deeply about it.

The same principle makes study groups useful. Studying with others in a small group is helpful because you:

      Think out loud.

      Share ideas.

      Learn from one another.
In an effective study group, you and other students has out lesson materials together—explaining concepts, arguing about them. Figuring out why one person’s answer differs from another’s – and in the process, you most likely learn more than you would have studying by yourself.

Student Success Statement

So often, in our quest to be more popular and to be part of the “in-group,” we lose sight of things that are far more important.”

-By Sean Covey

        People always seem to lose track of where they came from, who they are, and what is their purpose. We always seem to choose what is popular to “fit in” than what is really important. Many people lose sight of the importance when following their dreams, to achieve them faster, to fit in, in that world of their dreams. You could still achieve your dreams without losing sight of the importance. One great example is when a person becomes famous; they lose sight of their roots, of who helped them out. They usually ignore the people who they once enjoyed their childhood, special moments with. Never lose the sight in what really matters just to fit in. If you have to lose importance to fit in, that is the wrong decision, the wrong crowd.

Habit 3: Put First Things First

Habit three is about Will and Will Not power. This Habit helps teens prioritize and manage their time so that they focus on and complete the most important things in their lives. Putting first things first also means learning to overcome fears and being strong during difficult times. It’s living life according to what matters most. Putting first things first deals with things that are:

Important or not important, urgent or not urgent. Let’s look at the four quadrants of time management.

Quadrant 1: Things that are Important and Urgent

Quadrant 2: Things that are Important but not Urgent

Quadrant 3: Things that are Not Important but are Urgent

Quadrant 4: Things that are not Important and Not Urgent

1.    Important & Urgent	2.    Important but not Urgent
3.    Not Important but are Urgent	4.    Not Important and Not Urgent

Quadrant 2 is ideal place to spend our time, doing things that are important but not urgent. Here’s where priorities come into play. The results for living Quadrant 2 are:

1.      Control of your life

2.      Balance

3.      High Performance

So, in what quadrant are you spending most of your time? The key is to shift as much time as possible into quadrant 2 and this is accomplished by planning. Spend more time planning and incorporating most important things first, things that matter most. Keep your eyes on the prize and reach for it.
