Time Management

8 of 10

Master the moments and you may be a real pro when it comes to juggling the many demands on your time –classes, homework and activities –with some family help. College gives you even bigger chance to sharpen your time management skills by doing it all on your own. And that’s a good thing since most jobs require multitasking. You might need to take care of current clients while attracting new ones, respond to e-mails while working on a major presentation, or order tomorrow’s produce while planning next week’s menu.

Someone said. “Wherever you are, be there.” Focus on the project moment and give it all your attention. Don’t let your mind drift and wander here and there when you need to be thinking and concentrating on the moment at hand. You can’t go back and recapture this moment, so make the most of it while it NOW. Master the present and you will master the future. Work smart by mastering the present moment.

Attention to Detail 7 of 10

Attention to Detail

7 of 10

When you double-check your calculation for a math problem or cite source carefully in a research paper, you’re paying close attention to detail. That skill comes in handy in any workplace, whether you maintain a database, keep a log of the hours you spend with clients or write e-mails.

John Wooden, UCLA’s former great basketball coach who lead his team to ten consecutive national championships, was asked what he attributed his success to. Among a number of things, he mentioned that paying attention to details was one of the most important qualities for successful coaching and for high achievement in any worthwhile pursuits. He even paid attention to how his players would lace up and tie their shoes strings. If they didn't tie them correctly, he would teach them how.

Detail may be small things, but from small things come great things; therefor, pay attention to detail and you will experience substantial progress in your overall education attainments

“Education is a marathon—not a sprint.’’

-Anon

The statement is correct because there will always be someone who will try to compete with you for the same spot, so don’t give them the chance and finish hard. For example, every student at prestigious universities always competes to stay and continue their studies. Or another example is at a football league, there will always be someone who will try to will the title.

"Gold medals don't make champions... hard work does"
-ANON

The statement is correct because practice makes perfect. For example, I am int eh football team and made it into JV, it's good, but the coach said that if I had gone everyday to practice, I would have made the Varsity team. I should have gone but could not because I had to do projects for some of my classes. So I was stuck between doing homework or going to practice, then I chosen the homework.

Read Between the Lines

Make a judgment about the site’s reliability based on your own analysis of the site and the information it contains. Here are some ways to do this:

·         Look for facts you know or can check with a trusted source. If the site gets those facts right, its more likely that the other facts on the site are also accurate.

·         Study the language used. Is it angry, satiric or overly impassioned? This may indicate that the site is biased.

·         Consider whether the arguments are logical and backed up by evidence, and whether the site presents only one point of view.

·         Check the links to the sources that the author acknowledges. Scholarly written, whether in print or online, should include a bibliography.

"The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing for right when it's unpopular is a true test of moral character."
-Margaret Chase Smith  

The statement that Smith stated is true because most people go with the popular way even if it isn't right. For example, who brags about their son in today world, no one because most kids want to be popular and follow the crew. And even if its sad to admit, the generation from today is wrong in every mater because, teens getting pregnant at 16, it embarrassing to be part of this generation.
