Student Success Statement

“Take care of yourself and everything else will fall into place.”

Coach David Diamont

Someone who looks after themselves and does the right things, then everything else will come naturally. If you try hard enough to get what you want, eventually at a later time you will be granted your wish. It only takes time and effort to be able to get your desire. If you don’t try to put some effort on what you wish, then nothing will happen. Things won’t happen on their own unless you try.

If you feel you do not naturally have all those characteristics, then do not despair. Each of them can be accomplished by your own application. You can use meditation and visualization techniques to initiate your vision, and they can certainly be learned both for that purpose and for each step you take to reach your goals. Simply visualize your desired goals, that of being a star student, a champion of doing what is right, and see yourself working hard to become outstanding, and you’re your dreams and vision will materialize as you pursue these objectives. Setting goals and objectives can be a personal or business technique that can be learnt. You can develop inner strength to succeed if you apply yourself to doing just that; that will enable you to recover from setbacks more easily.

What is important to you is that you, as you start to reach milestones in your ambitions, you appreciate your own achievements. It is a boost, of course, if others appreciate what you have done too, but appreciating yourself will strengthen your self-believe, and reinforce your determination to succeed. Some of the key characteristics you will find in those who are successful are perseverance, prepared to research, plan and work hard, practice a lot even when things do not seem to be going well, and an outset of whatever it is you are trying to success In, a strong vision of your future, planning, and setting yourself achievable targets can all play an important role.

Whether studying or in general life, planning is an imperative skill. Here, we must strictly set the hours for studying, and should promote regularity in doing so. Don’t put off your studies to the last moment (just before the test), because in that moment you will be feeling stress and pressure, and both factors will prove disturbing for your learning; that’s the high price of procrastination. During the exam, it’s important to forget about panic and stress. And if you are planning for your thesis, you may find this post useful. Other planning tip I frequently give is that, when you are assigned a homework, try to solve it as quickly as possible, several days before the required date, but don’t try to complete it perfectly and don’t submit it immediately. I always recommend doing homework early, but deliver it at the last possible day.

“Be Wise-Never Use Drugs or Alcohol”

“Be Wise-Never Use Drugs or Alcohol”

Many people might find that the easiest way out of problems will be to go the wrong path and choose the wrong. Some people might try to kill themselves using different methods. Some might commit suicide by jumping out of a building or drowning themselves. But one of the fastest and easiest ways to the wrong paths is using alcohol and drugs. People might use it because it satisfies them. They might be addicted to it and that’s why they use it and they can’t stop. Others might use it because they want to forget all the problems they have. They think that by using these drugs it will help them forget all the bad things they are going through. But in reality they don’t know that they are hurting themselves. Someone might think “oh well it’s just one time.” Or “it’s just to try it.” Or “I want to look cool.” Or “ just because” whatever reason. But what’s worse is that they don’t know that it will affect them throughout their life. Or if they know, they just don’t care, or can’t stop doing it. Before using these drugs, they need to stop and think for a bit, “why am I doing this?” They need to think not only about themselves but about others around them. About the people that care for them and love them. Because at one point, they might get so addicted to it that it may lead them to death. For example, if you are driving while you are drunk, you might cause an accident. You can kill someone else or you can kill yourself. All those people that you care about will suffer. They will suffer and cry for your death, and now they have to gather some money to pay the funeral. Now, if you want to die, then have everything prepared from the money to wherever you want to get buried or burned, because you will just put too much stress on your loved ones! Just think about others, so Be Wise and NEVER EVER Use Drugs or Alcohol.

• ·    They prefer tasks with some degree of difficulty and novelty, which stimulate their learning skills.

• ·    They don’t apply the simple criteria of success- fail to their learning. Remember, they are focused into the learning process.

• ·    They know how to handle groups.

• ·     Finally, they work with passion.

Other chief habit is that of asking questions. We have to establish hypothesis and set concrete, realistic goals. After reading any text we have to ask several different questions related to its content, in order to verify if we have completely understood the text. It’s also important to try to relate such text and other areas of our knowledge. Again, linking ideas and concepts is a habit of highly successful students. So, link.

• ·         They concentrate on the process of solving the task and understanding the involved ideas. Of course we are interested in getting good results, but the process is more important. A result is a very brief moment on life, while learning to develop process is a skill that will last for the whole life.

• ·         They interpret and analyze errors as a way of increasing their learning, i.e., they try to learn from their mistakes. This way, they see errors and failures as opportunities.

• ·         They look for the required information in several channels (books, journals, newspapers, experts, internet, and so on.)

• ·         They consult experts and teachers frequently. This action provides a new perspective about the studied topics.

·         Everyone wants to be successful in life, but where are the keys to success? Do we have to go out and search for those keys, or do we have those potentials already within ourselves? When we begin to examine life, we can see that it is divided into two aspects—life within and life without; internal life and external life—and we can see that these aspects are of equal importance. Even if we have renounced the world, gone far away from civilization, and live in the wilderness doing nothing but meditation, we cannot ignore external life. We still have to see that we eat, do our ablutions, and perform our practices on time. So life in the external world is as important as life in the internal world.

If you prefer to play videogames, then remember that making any game requires to prepare a detailed script including history, characters, goals and relations. Therefore, you could start writing down the script for your “dream” game. On the other side, you could imagine how the novel you are reading could be transformed into a videogame (start out by thinking which gaming genre fits the novel better: role-playing, adventure, action, and so on.) the basic idea is to find match point and links between our affections and our chores. And such links there always exist. Remember, to link ideas and concepts is the most important habit for successful students.

Successful students also exhibit other particular traits we should internalize:

• They are always trying to discover better approaches in order to accomplish their tasks (adequate studying place, availability of resources, etc.) You may find my post on Pristine Home with Feng Shui useful for improving your studying environment.
