Initiative 5 of 10


Initiative

5 of 10

Initiative is creativity, inventiveness, originality, ingenuity, imagination. Every time you respond in class, every time you choose your own research topic, every time you put together your own interpretation of a piece of literature, you take initiative. And future employers 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 is required to do 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.

Student Success Statement/ Reflection


Student Success Statement

“To be great – concentrate.”

-Orson Swett Marden

Reflection

Everyone has a different definition for greatness. For most of us, we wish to be great. It isn’t always easy to become great. It takes hard work, and many obstacles get it the way. The way to reach greatness is to stay focus and concentrate. This is a great quote that truly expresses the idea to achieve greatness. One should concentrate on what it is that they want. When concentrated they shouldn’t let anything distract them from their goal, and is more likely to then reach it.

Problem-Solving Skills

4 of 10

Problem solving goes far beyond your math textbook. Every assignment is an opportunity to weigh all possible solutions carefully and choose the one you think is best. As a working professional, you’ll be solving problems regularly, whether it’s fixing a bug in a computer program or overcoming budget shortfalls. Problem solving situations occur extensively and frequently; therefore, are ready when then come.

When problems or challenges occur, some people look at them at negative experiences, as a crisis. These people are the ones who live day by day with gloom and negativism in their attitudes. But the really successful people, those who are cheerful and optimistic, are those who look at problems as opportunities, opportunities to learn, grow, expand their horizons, and make new discoveries. They look on the bright side of things and live happy lives.

Student Success Statement/ Reflection


Student Success Statement
“To see what is right and not to do it is want of courage.”
-Confucius
Reflection
I agree with this statement. I believe that when one sees what is right and does not do it is because they are lacking courage. It takes courage to do what is right. It takes a worthy person to have courage. It is right to do what is right when they see it, but not everyone may manage to do what is right. Their lack of courage holds them back from doing what is right. We have to be courageous and step up to what is right and take the correct actions.

Student Success Statement

“Education is a marathon – not a sprint”

-Anon

Reflection

I truly believe this is a great quote and I strongly agree with it. In a marathon one has to keep a fast but steady pace. If you try to sprint in a marathon, you won’t get so far. It is very similar to education. One cannot get an education with only one day of studying all day. It takes years and you learn a bit at a time.
