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

Time Management

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.

Preparation generates energy and enthusiasm; therefore prepare and your coolness under pressure is sure to abound.

Initiative is creativity, inventiveness, originality, ingenuity, imagination. Every time you respond in class, every time you chose your own research topic, every time you put your own interpretation of a piece of literature, you take initiative. And future employer’s value can—do professionals who come up with new ideas and chart their own course through projects, employees who are self-reliant. Self-reliant people are self-starters who don’t procrastinate on getting the job done. They know what required to do is and do it. They don’t wait to be told many times.

Using the Web Wisely

Thanks to the Web, information is easy to find. However, it’s also easy to post something online. Anyone can do it.

You've probably used the internet to do research for a paper, to help you decide which product to buy, or to form an opinion about current events. Looking up information online is fast and convenient. But when you do online research, it’s important to find sites you can trust.

Many websites claim to have the facts, but are full of errors. Others present information in a biased way – they only give one side of an argument. How can you tell a reliable source from an unreliable one? Also, it is critical that you post online only that which is decent and appropriate, never anything photogenic, vulgar, indecent, out of taste, untruthful, or obscene. Post those things that will make you and your organization, that will promote goodwill and be of benefit to the world.

Question

As you survey the text, ask a question for each section. Ask what, why, how, when, who and where questions as they relate to the content. Here’s how you can create questions:

·       Turn the title, headings or subheadings into questions

·       Rewrite the questions at the end of the chapter or after each subheading in your own words.

Write down your questions. Questions help you pay attention, understand the text better and recall the information more easily later on.

Read

Read one section of the chapter at a time, actively looking for an answer to your questions for that section. Pay attention to bold and italicized text that authors use to make important points.

Be sure to review everything in the section, including tables, graphs and illustrations—these features can communicate and idea more powerfully than written in text.

3. Set Attainable Goals

If you’re having trouble writing a 25-page paper for class because it seems like such a big job, don’t focus on that final number. Break the paper down and consider each section of your paper individually. You can handle any project in small chunks.

4. Find a Social Support Network

Create a group of people around you who want to help you succeed. Mentors can be teachers or family friends who can give you guidance and help you develop new skills. Counselors can help you with planning your courses and starting to explore colleges. You can also reach out to friends and peers who can motivate you by listening and sharing ideas.

5. Acknowledge Your Accomplishments

Give yourself a quick reward when you complete an assignment or task. Take a walk, send an email, and get a snack then move on to the next project.

"The Three Never"
Never lie
Never cheat
Never steal
-John Wooden

The statement that the best self proclaim best coach did is actually some how correct, because a lie can start little and may grow and grow until it becomes a lie big enough to cause a lot of trouble. If you cheat, sooner or later the truth is going to come out, and the only affected is going to be you. Stealing may not seem so bad but if anything that life has thought me, is to never ever mess with karma, what comes around goes around

For example, an average person could have any idea of how to even act in camara or open a safe.
