Student Success Statement

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

-Phil Jackson

Reflection

We can’t swell on the future and keep wondering what will happen because we have to focus and what we are doing now. Whatever it is we do right now determine our future, dwelling on the future does not get us there. It is the hard work and concentration that does. I definitely agree with Phil Jackson. A good example would be I. I hope to go to UCLA and I am constantly questioning whether I will get accepted or not. I keep worrying but then I realize that worrying about it won’t get me into UCLA, I should be concentrating on school and what I have to do right now, and that will determine whether I get into UCLA or not.

Research with Attitude

Conduct your research with the attitude of a skeptic. As you examine websites for clues that they’re trust worthy, ask those questions:

·         Who wrote the Web page? If you can’t identify the individual or organization responsible for the information, don’t use it.

·         What are the author’s qualifications for writing on the subject?

·         As the article passed through an editorial process designed to ensure quality and accuracy?

·         What is the website’s purpose? Look for motives

·         --Like selling products or winning votes – that could result in biased or incomplete information.

·         Is the information accurate? Is it up-to-date?

·         Where did the author get this information?

Student Success Statement

“Be always sure you’re right, then go ahead.”

-Davy Crockett

Reflection

I believe that this is very well said. If you believe that it is the correct thing to do then go ahead and do it. You have to make sure that it is correct before doing anything. Don’t go ahead and make an action unless you are sure that what you are going to do is correct. Once you are sure that what you are about to do is the correct then go ahead and do it, otherwise, don’t do it.

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw

Teens should never get too busy living to take time to renew them. 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 key dimensions of life – body, mind, heart, and soul.

1)    Body, Ear wholesome foods, fruits, vegetables, legumes. Avoid illegal drugs, smoking, alcohol, tobacco products, tattooing. Exercise regularly and effectively. Get 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”.
