“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘press on’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”

-Calvin Coolidge, 30^th president of the United States

 

Persistence is what will keep you on the road to succeed your goals. No one or nothing can take your persistence; this is why it is great. When you are persistence in accomplishing something, you will accomplish it because it keeps you going it gives you the extra energy. For example in looking for a job, you must be persistence and show how much you want the job in order to get it, be determined. Persistence and determination will always get you far in the road you decide to walk.

“A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder.”

-Thomas Carlyle

A man without a goal and a ship without a rudder, have no future, they have no direction. Just like the rudder, a goal takes you into a certain direction, and accomplishes you to get to your destination. Your goals motivate you to go somewhere in life, without a goal a man will be lost where do you go? What do you do? If the ship wants to get to Hawaii, but has no rudder, it will never get there. A rudder takes control just like a goal takes control of your destination in life. Always have a goal in mind to not lose your way.

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.

10 Time Management Tips for Students

Tips 5-10

Tip5. Review Your Notes Everyday Day.

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

Tip6. 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.

Tip7. 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.

Tip8. 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.

Tip9. 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.

Tip10. Determine Your Priorities.

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

“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”

-Helen Keller

It is always better to work together, in a group. United you can do things better and faster. As the saying goes “two brains worth better than one”. The other person can bring to the group what one cannot; more ideas that will lead to success can come out of working together. For example, it would take one person to do a group project around a week and a half, while if a whole group works together they may get it finished in a couple of days. Another example can be a person pushing a car, one person will take hours and will run out of energy, while if a group of people work together they can move the car faster with les exhaustion. You will get father and faster working together. You will accomplish many more when you join together.

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.

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

Habit 1

(by Sean Covey but modified)

Habit 1: Be Proactive.

Being proactive is the key to unlocking the other habits. Help your teen take control and responsibility for her life. Proactive people understand that they are responsible for their own happiness or unhappiness. They don’t blame others for their own actions or feelings. Proactive people realize that the ball is in their court, that they are the captain of their own ship; that they are in control, control of their decisions, thoughts, choices, decisions, goals, actions, and priorities. Proactive people are self-starters; they don’t wait to be told what to do, they press forward with enthusiasm toward the achievement of their assignments, their duties, their responsibilities, their obligations. Choosing to do what is right is a proactive decision. Obey the rules. Obey the law. Obey the coach. Obey the school polices. Obey your parents. Obey with exactness, and great things will come to you. Be Proactive and take the initiative.

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

7 HABITS OF Highly Successful Teens
By Sean Covey

---

For teens, life is not a playground, it’s a jungle. And, being the parent of a teenager isn’t any walk in the park, either. In his book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, author Sean Covey attempts to provide “A compass to help teens and their parents navigate the problems they encounter daily.”

How will they deal with peer pressure? Motivation? Success or lack thereof? The life of a teenager is full of tough issues and life-changing decisions. As a parent, you are responsible to help them learn the principles and ethics that will help them to reach their goals and live a successful life.
While it’s all well and good to tell kids how to live their lives, “teens watch what you do more than they listen to what you say,” Covey says. So practice what you preach. Your example can be very influential.

Covey himself has done well by following a parent’s example. His dad, Stephen Covey, wrote the book The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People, which sold over 15 million copies. Sean’s a chip off the block, and no slacker. His own book has rung in a more than respectable 2 million copies sold. Here are his seven habits, and some ideas for helping your teen understand and apply them :

“It’s not WHERE you live but HOW you live that counts. It’s not where you play the game but HOW you play the game that counts.”
-Mr. Haymore

This statement has a lot of truth in it and all people should keep in mind. It is not where you do things that count but the things you do. All that matters is how you do things, because how you do things is what will affect or matter to you and others. For example, if a student living in Huntington Park try’s his/her best to enroll in a good college and a student in Malibu doesn’t give it his/ her all and slacks off, the person from Huntington Park will have the benefit because he/she gave it her all. It will not matter where but HOW you do things will.  

Successful Students 1-2

Successful Students

Successful students exhibit a combination of successful attitudes and behaviors as well as intellectual capacity. Successful students…..
1…… are responsible and active. Successful students get involved in their studies, accept responsibility for their own education, and are active participants in it! Responsibility means control. It’s the difference between leading and being led. Your own efforts control your grades, you earn the glory or deserve the blame, you make the choice. Active classroom participation improves grades without increasing the study time. You can sit there, act bored, daydream, or sleep. Or, you can actively listen, think, question, and take notes like someone in charge of their learning experience. Either option costa one class period. However, the former method will require a large degree of additional work outside of class to achieve the same degree of learning the latter provides at one sitting. The choice is yours.
2…. Have educational goals. Successful students have legitimate goals and are motivated by what they represent in terms of career aspirations and life’s desires.
Ask yourself these questions: What am I doing here?  Why have I chosen to be sitting here now? Is there some better place I could be? What does my presence here mean to me? Answers to these questions represent your “Hot Buttons” and are, without a doubt, the most important factors in your success as a college student. If your educational goals are truly yours, not someone else’s, they will motivate a vital and positive academic attitude. If you are familiar with what these hot buttons represent and refer to them often, especially when you tire of being a students, nothing can stop you; if you aren’t and don’t, everything can and will!
