"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.”

-Phil Jackson

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.

Attention to Detail 7 of 10

Attention to Detail

7 of 10

When you double-check your calculations for a math problem or cite sources carefully in a research paper, you’re paying close attention to detail. That skill comes in handy in any workplace, whether you maintain a database, keep a log of the hours you spend with clients or write e-mails.

John Wooden, UCLA’s former great basketball coach who lead his teams to ten consecutive national championships, was asked what he attributed his success to. Among a number of things, he mentioned that paying attention to details was one of the most important qualities for successful coaching and for high achievement in any worthwhile pursuit. He even paid attention to how his players would lace up and tie their shoe strings. If they didn’t tie them correctly, he would teach them how.

Details may be small things but from small things come great things; therefore, pay attention to details and you will experience substantial progress in your overall education attainment.

"Everyone is the architect of their own learning." Student Success Statement

Student Success Statement

“Everyone is the architect of their own learning.”

-Claudius

What this statement is saying is that each and every one of us is responsible for our own actions followed by its consequences. We are the ones who make our own decisions, so we are the ones who are responsible for the consequences as well. No one forces us to do something that we may not want to, but if we still do it, we are the ones to blame. If we do something that will later benefit us in life, then we should do what ever it takes to become someone in life. The actions we take into doing something good will later bring us consequences; good consequences that will definitely benefit us later. Depending on the actions we make and the decisions we take, it will determine our consequences and there is no one to blame but ourselves.
