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.

"When you believe you can-you can" Student Success Statement

Student Success Statement

“When you believe you can-you can.”

-Dr. Maxwell Maltz

I agree with this statement because when you believe you can do anything, that is right, then you can do it. You just need to really believe in yourself; believe that you can do it. Having faith is also important because if you have faith in yourself, then you sure can believe that you can do anything. When you believe in yourself, you will have that strong and positive thoughts in you and it will motivate you to keep doing in what you believe you should do.
