“Your Future is created by what you do today, not tomorrow”

-Robert Kiyosaki

The statement that Kiyosaki stated is correct because the future depends on what you do know. For example, a restaurant owner that does not have a clean place may just get banned for not having it properly clean that same day, or he may loose customers because of the filthy place. So start building your bright future today, not tomorrow.

Tip 5: Keep a List of Questions

When you feel confused about something you’re reading, write down any question you have. Sometimes your questions are answered as you read further. If not, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Remember, teachers create assignments; they've read text and are familiar with them. When you have specific questions, your teachers can provide answers that will help you better understand the material. Learning is rooted in questions developed and asked by the learner.

Asking questions to you, to the teacher, and to other, is a great learning method. When you cease to ask questions, you cease to exist to a great extent. Read actively by silently asking questions as you read. Questioning immerses you into the material capacities more than almost anything else.

The philosopher Sir France Bacon said, “Knowledge is power.” Improving your reading comprehension is the key to gaining important knowledge and making the most of your education. So pick up a book … and a pen.

5 Tips for Saving Motivated

Tips 1-2

To succeed in high school and college, you have to do your best at all times. But sometimes it’s hard to stay motivated, even when you really care about the work you’re doing. Here are five ways to stay on the right track.

1.       Focus on High-Impact Activities

The key to success in school is staying focused on your course work. Make a list to get an overall picture of your workload before you start to tackle any of it. Then, make a plan. Although it’s tempting to do the simplest assignments first, those that take more time and effort to accomplish are probably the ones that you’ll learn the most from.

To determine what your priorities are, rank your assignments in the order of their importance. Then rearrange your time and devote more energy towards those that have their greatest impact on your course work and grades. For example, even though all homework assignments are important, studying for a midterm exam takes priority over writing a paragraph for English class. As you complete each task, think of it as another step on your way to college success.

2.       Create New Challenges

Changing your approach can help you stay interested in what you’re doing. If you’ve been given an assignment similar to the one you've done in the past, think about it in a different way. If you wrote an essay for a creative writing assignment last year, try a poem this time. F or book reports pick a history book instead of another biography.

Take Advantage of Any Free Time

If you have a study period or a long bus ride, use the time to review notes, prepare for an upcoming class or start your homework. Flash cards are a great learning tool. They are easy to make, easy to handle, and are a marvelous tool to help you learn and remember anything. Punch a hole in the upper left corner of each index card and connect the stack of your flash cards with a ring. Then the cards are bound and not flopping around. Flash cards bound like this act like a small book with pages. You can even have separate ringed stacks for each subject. WHAT EVER YOU WANT TO REMEMBER PUT IT ON A CARD.

Study with a Friend

Get together with friends and classmates to quiz each other, compare notes and predict test questions. Consider joining a study group.

Communicate

If you have concerns about the amount or type of homework you have, you may want to talk to your family, teachers or counselor. They can help you understand how much time you need to allot for homework and how to manage your tasks.

Celebrate your Achievements

Learn actively and not passively. Be anxiously engaged in your studies and you will have a great experience. Demonstrate a good attitude towards home assignments; you will begin to love it.

Organize the Information

Most of your assignments will be written and submitted to the instructor in the written format. Your penmanship needs to be excellent, spelling great, sentence above average, vocabulary extraordinary. You need to have online access with reliable equipment. If you Internet communications at home aren’t working, you can’t do online education from home and will need to go to someplace where you do have access to the Internet
