Honesty is always the best policy. Employers need to know that they can trust you with everything from company credit cards to trade secrets. How can you work at honesty? You demonstrate integrity every day that you do your own homework and resist the temptation to cheat on exams.

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

I totally agree with this statement because when you are working at a very present moment, you should focus on what is happening at that moment and not what will happen later on. For example if you are in a game, you should not be focused about whether you are going to win or not; you should focus on doing an excellent job in your game and just doing your best at every moment. I know that you still would like to have the win, but if you focus too much on it you might not give it your all in the game and you might not play as good as you would have liked.

Master the moments and you may be a real pro when it comes to juggling the many demands on your time—classes, homework and activities—with some family help. College gives you an even bigger chance to sharpen your time management skills by doing it all on your own. And that’s a good thing since most jobs require multitasking. You might need to take care of current clients while attracting new ones, respond to e-mails while working on a major presentation, or order tomorrow’s produce while planning next week’s menu.

          Someone said, “Wherever you are be there.” Focus on the present moment and give it all your attention. Don’t let your mind drift and wander here and there when you need to be thinking and concentrating on the moment at hand. You can’t go back and recapture this moment, so make the most of it while it NOW. Master the present and you will master the future. Work smart by mastering the present moment.
