“Success is dependent on effort.”

-Sophocles, Greek dramatist

This quote means you get what you put in. in other words one may only do well if he puts in the effort to deserve it. It is highly improbable that one may achieve greatness without putting in effort for what greatness he my so desire. .success is not given to one it is earned with sweat and tears ( I mean that figuratively of course). One does not become an “A” student by not studying he must put in the effort.

Choose where to study

Where you should study depends on the two factors: the environment in which you are best able to concentrate and the types of work you are planning to do.

·The best places to study have good light, a comfortable temperature and enough desk space-usually your dorm room, your apartment or the library.

·For completing problems sets or brainstorming possible test questions, you may want to study with a group or at least in a setting where fellow students are available for discussion.

·When you are reading book chapters or research paper, you are probably better off in a less social environment.

Improve your study habits

Here are simple steps you can take to help you get a handle on studying:

-Have a routine for where and when you study.

-Choose reasonable and specific goals that you can accomplish for teach study session.

-do things that are harder or require more intense thought at your most productive time of day

“Choosing the right is always the right thing to do.”

-Alex Linares

To choose the right that is the choice that everyone should make. Making the right choice shouldn’t be a choice it should be something that you have already decided on from the very beginning. Choosing what is right is something that should have been integrated into your mind while you were just a wee lad. When dealt with a decision where you must choose between unpopular or popular by committing heinous crimes what will you choose?

Tips 5-10

Tip 5. Review your notes every day.

Reviewing helps you reinforce what you’ve learn, 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.

Tip 6. Get a good night sleep.

Your brain needs rest to perform at its peak. Lack of sleep makes the day feel longer and your tasks seem more difficult.

Tip 7. Communicate your schedule to others.

If phone calls and text messages are proving to be a distraction, tell your friends that you are only available during certain times of the day and not to expect a response at other times.

Tip 8. 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.

Tip 9. Don’t waste time agonizing.

Instead of agonizing and procrastinating, just do it. Wasting an entire evenings worrying about something that you’re supposed to be doing is not productive, and can increase your stress.

Tip 10. Determine your priorities.

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

“It’s better to be alone than in bad company.”

-ANON

To be alone is better than having people around you that are doing drugs, drinking alcohol, be violent and so on. To be around people that choose the wrong is a choice that one should not choose if they are given the choice. Bad people will always bring you down and being alone you have the time to allow yourself to think about the ways you can allow yourself to be a good person and how you can be successful.

“Improvement begins with I.”

-Anon

This in turn means that in order to do good for yourself you must figure out who you are. You must figure out what you want and what you will work for in life.

Habit 7: sharpen the saw

3. Heart: always do what is right so your heart, your conscience, will feel peaceful, when you do the wrong, your conscience will prick you and create regretful sensations within your heart. When you do what you honestly feel, you won’t have any regrets. Your heart is your internal compass-it gives you direction and discernment. Just like a magnetic compass gives directions, even true north, your personal compass, your heart, will point you in the true north, the exact directions and paths you need to tread.

4. Soul: study scriptures and other sacred literature daily. In other words, feed your spirit because your spirit needs spiritual food just like your physical body needs temporal food to survive. Pondering, meditating, and reflecting are excellent soul-sharpening activities. Try writing your thoughts, feelings, aspiration, concerns, and decisions in a diary or journal writing helps you focus and make good decisions.

 Get into the habit of daily improving your body (physical fitness), your mind, your heart, and your soul.

Mallory and liz from western Oregon these two girls know the meaning of sportsmanship. These two girls are as good as they come as they helped out someone from the enemy team. The girl was carried through the bases by the opposite team so that she could have the memory of having made a 3 person home run. That is one of the greatest moments in sportsmanship one will ever see.

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw

Teens should never get too busy living to take time to renew themselves. When teens “sharpen the saw” they are keeping their personal self-sharp so that they can better deal with life. It means regularly renewing and strengthening the four keys dimension of life-body, mind, and soul.

1.   Body. Eat wholesome foods, fruit, veggies, legumes avoid illegal drugs, smoking, alcohol, tobacco products, tattooing. Exercise regularly and effectively. Getting plenty of rest at night. Get to bed early at night and get up early each morning. “Early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.”

2.   Mind. Think positively. Read. Study. Think. Analyze. Seek to read a good book each month. Then each week. Ask intelligent questions. Observe. Develop your mind through positive “self- talk.”

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

-Helen Keller

One can do more when he is backed up by many. Batman is a man who alone can get things done but he can only fend for one city as he is merely one person. It is not until Batman joins the justice league that he is able to do so much more than before because he has the help of so many super powered humanoids. being alone will always limit what you can do, but when you are with those who choose to help and that you allow help you the possibilities become near endless(figuratively of course).

Habit 6

Habit 6: synergize

Synergize is achieved when two or more people work together to create something better than either cloud alone. Through this habit, teens learn it doesn’t have to be “your way” or “my way” but rather a better way, a higher way. Synergize allows teens to value differences and better appreciate others. Synergize is the reward, the delicious fruit you’ll taste as you get better at living the other habits, especially at thinking Win-Win and seeking first to understand. Learning to synergize is like learning to form V formations with others instead of trying to fly through life solo. You’ll be amazed at how much faster and farther you’ll go. Synergy doesn’t just happen. It’s a process. You have to get there. And the foundation of getting there is: Learning to celebrate differences.

A good back is a greater example of synergy. It’s not just the drums, or the guitar, or the sax, or the vocalist, it’s all of the together that makes up the “sound”.  Each brand member brings his or her strength to the table to create something better than each could alone. No instrument is more important than another, just different.

“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.”

-Sean Covey

Being part of a group that is doing stuff that is wrong is not a choice that one should choose to be a part of. When someone joins a group that is popular it means that they don’t care about very much because they are willing to lose all focus they had before. Losing sight of what’s important is something that no one should choose to accept as it is a path to a life of the wanderer.

Habit 5

5. Seek first to understand, and then to be understood

Because most people don’t listen very well, one of the great frustrations in life is that many don’t feel understood. This habit will ensure your teen learns the most important communication skill there is: active learning.

Why is this habit the key to communication? It’s because the deepest need of the human heart is to be understood. Everyone wants to be respected and valued for who they are-a unique, expose their soft middles unless they feel genuine love and understanding. Once they feel it, however, they will tell you more than you may want to hear. People don’t care how much you know until they know how you care.  Listen with your eyes, heart, and ears. 7% of communication is contained in the words we use. The rest comes from body language (53 percent) and how we say words, of the tone and feeling reflected in our voice (40 percent).

Most people are eager to talk and had rather talk than listen. We have one mouth and two ears. This means we should listen twice as much as we talk. Learn to listen and listen and learn. Listen, really listen, for understanding. Seek first to understand then to be understood—LISTEN.

Habit 4

4. Think win-win

Teens can learn to foster the belief that it is possible to create an atmosphere of win-win in every relationship. This habit encourage the idea that in any given discussion or situation both parties can arrive at a mutually beneficial solution. Your teen will learn to celebrate the accomplishment of others instead of being threatened by them. Win-Win is a belief that everyone can win. It’s both nice and thought all at once. I won’t step on you, but I won’t be your doormat either. You care about other people and you want them to succeed. But you also care about yourself, and you want to succeed as well. Win-Win is abundant. It is the belief that there’s plenty of success to go around. It’s not either you or me. It’s both of us. It’s not a matter of who gets the biggest piece of the pie. There is more than enough food for everyone. It’s an all you can eat buffet. Win-win always creates more. Perhaps the most surprising benefits of thinking Win-Win is good feelings it brings on. The true test to whether you are thinking Win-Win or one of the alternatives how you feel. Win-lose and Lose-Win thinking will cloud your judgment and feel you with negative feeling.

Win-Win will fill your heart with happy and serene thought. It will give you confidence. Even fill you with light. Think Win-Win or no deal.

“you cannot do wrong and feel right. It is impossible.”

-Ezra T. Benson

Doing something that is wrong will always have an effect on your conscience. As one does something bad he may not feel bad but once it sinks in to his mind what he has done he will have such a heavy weight left upon his shoulders that he will feel like he’s not even human.

Habit three is all about WILL and WILL NOT power. This habit helps teens prioritize and manage their time so that they focus on and complete the most important things in their lives. Putting first things first also means learning to overcome fears and being strong during difficult times. Its living life according to what matters most. Putting first things first deal with things that are: important or not important, urgent or not urgent. Let’s look at the four quadrants of tie management.

Quadrant 1: things that are important or urgent

Quadrant 2: things that are important but not urgent

Quadrant 3: things that are not important but are urgent

Quadrant 4: things that are not important and not urgent.

1.Important & urgent	2.Important but not urgent
3.Not important but are urgent	4.NOT important and NOT urgent

 Quadrant 2: is the ideal place to spend your time, doing things that are important but not urgent. Here’s where priorities come into play. The results for living quadrant 2 are:

1.   Control your life

2.   Balance

3.   High performance

So in what quadrant are you spending most of your time? The key is to shift as much time as possible into quadrant 2 and this is accomplished by planning. Spend more time planning and incorporating the most important things first, things that matter most. Keep your eye on the prize and reach for it.

Habit 2

Habit 2: begin with the End in Mind

 If teens aren’t clear about where they want to end up in life, about their values, goals, and what they stand for, they will wander, waste time, and be tossed to and fro by the opinions of others. Help your teen create a personal mission statement which will act as a road map and direct and guide his decision-making process.

“Keep your eye on the prize.” Determine your desired prize and don’t quit until you have realized that achievements for your prize. Then set another prize, another goal or desire that you would really like to achieve. Begin with the achievement of your prize in mind.  Visualize and then realize. Start by having a target in mind; know where you are going.

One prize one goal you definitely need to establish for yourself is the prize of an honorable graduation from high school-that you will receive your diploma honestly and with integrity-which you earned it with perfect honesty.

“the only difference between those who have failed and those who have succeeded lies in the difference of their habits. Good habits are the key to all success. bad habits are the unlocked door to failure.

Habit 1

HABIT 1: Be Proactive

Being proactive is the key to unlocking the other habits. Help your teen take control and responsibility of 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 in their court, that they are the captain of their own ship; that they are in 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 achievements or their assignments, their duties, their responsibilities, their obligation. Choosing to do what is write is a proactive decision. Obey the rules. Obey the law. Obey the coach. Obey the school policies. Obey your parents. Obey the exactness, and great things will come to you. Be proactive and take the initiative.

“keep your eyes on the prize”

-ANON

To keep your eyes on the prize that is the true point of success, if one is to succeed in life he must have something to look forward to. A man who has gone about life with no set goal in life will accomplish nothing, while his rival the man who has set himself a goal will change all that is around him as he wishes to. To keep ones eyes set forward is the key if one were to look away that prize may never be attainable again.
