Initiative

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. Succeeding in high school, college, and in the career world is taking the initiative.

“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.

Every time your class breaks into groups to tackle a challenge, you build teamwork skills. In college, you’ll continue to have these opportunities to practice voicing your options, listening and responding to others, and reaching compromises. By the time you leave college, you can be an expert in this important workplace skill.

More

Individually you can achieve so much, but when you work with others for a common cause, the same objectives, you can accomplish a tremendous amount more. You can synergize your talents, knowledge, and skills with those whom you work. All members of the team are edified together, a type of education you can’t obtain by working alone.

Speaking Skills

When you’re assigned a class presentation, think twice before dismissing it as an unimportant part of your education. Employers look for speaking skills in job application, which may have to give presentation to clients or represent their organization in the field. It’s never too soon to practice good eye contact and other public speaking techniques.

 According to The Book of List, the fear of public speaking ranks number one in the mind of majority of people. Far above the fear of death and disease, comes the fear of standing in front of a crowd. Joel Wiener noted author and public speaker wants to help people overcome that fear.

“The biggest fear is public speaking, with 15% of American experience a dramatic fear of it,” said Dr. Michael Telch of the Laboratory for the study of Anxiety Disorders (LSAD) in the Department of Psychology at The University of Texas at Austin. “People have had to turn down jobs, and certainly students have dropped classes because of it.”

Regardless of your occupation, your success depends a great deal upon your ability to communication effectively! Whether you’re running a meeting, selling a product, making a presentation, motivating co-workers or just communicating one-on-one with others, you’ll get far better results if you can speak persuasively, smooth and intelligently.

“Continuous effort, not strength or intelligence, is the key to unlocking our potential.”

The statement that Liane Cordes stated is somewhat true because with hard work, you can achieve many things, but it’s also important to intelligence to help you succeed in life. For example, Steve Jobs was a smart teen who created a computer with the help of a friend, but he would not have made that if he wasn’t smart.

"The first law of success.... Is concentration; to bend all the energies to one point, and to go directly to that point, looking neither to the right nor the left"
-William Matthews  

Concentration is the key to success as Matthews stated. Concentrating on whatever you're doing will help. For example, in football practice, the whole team was doing a test and I was nervous, the coach called me up and I started to have sweaty palms, so I proceeded to put my gloves to warm up. Then the coach I started the test and could not concentrate, then i thought of the most important persons in my life in and out of school. I lasted and some of my teammates got eliminated except for two more and me. I started to dead-lift two times my weight and succeeded, that day, I was proud of my self, I may not be the strongest but I succeeded with concentration.

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.

“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.

"When I was teaching basketball, I urge my players to try there hardest to improve on that very day to make that practice a masterpiece.

This rule is even more important  in life than in basketball. You have to apply yourself each day to become a little better. by applying yourself to the task of becoming a little better each and every day over a period if time, you will become a lot better. Only then will you be able to approach being the best you can be. it begins by trying to make each day count and knowing you can never make up for a lost day."
-John Wooden 

The coach is correct because, a person can change drastically in time for a good objective and if they have there mind into it. For example, myself, before I use to be a drug user, disobedient child and a total little prick. But I change for good, now I am starting to get good grades, better character in my self and respect for my elders, and i change because of a single person.

"The Three Don'ts"
Don't whine
Don't complain
Don't make excuses
-John Wooden

The statement that couch wooden is correct because no one like a person who only makes excuses or complains about everything and whining is just the worst. For example, if a  player has to be at a game but makes a lame excuse like, I'm sick, then he just needs to be kicked of the team. Or if he complains about every single detail in the world, the only people in the world who can complain are pregnant women. Oh and the whining, pleas for the love of god don't do it in public, do it at you own time.

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

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.

The statement that general Lee stated is correct because doing in what's right bring great pleasure of an approving conscience. For example, if any ordinary person wields a gun at a person, the they might get scared enough to accidentally shoot the person and kill them, but if a person use to wielding guns around without any consideration or fear might not care if they shoot or not.

Keep Things in Perspective

Know how much weight each assignment or test carries, and use your time accordingly. Don’t waste time, but be wise and smart. Doing the most important things first is being wise and smart.

Get More Involved

Keep your mind from wandering by taking notes, underlining sections, discussing topics with others or relating your homework to something you’re studying in another class. 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

People process information in different ways. Some people like to draw pictures or charts to digest information, others prefer to read out loud or make detailed outline. Try to find the methods that work best for you. Ask your teacher for recommendations if you’re having trouble.
