Acquiring the Habits of Highly Successful Students

Part 5

2- Success is about achieving goals, and therefore is a relative notion. Highly successful students are those which set realistic goals, and attain them with the proper investment of resources. Thus, not necessarily the student with the best grades is the most successful learner. Now, we have stated what the successful student is like. Good.

2- If you have negative in your list of driving forces, it’s time to improve things quite a bit. First, identify other topics that you indeed like a lot, not necessarily related to studying. Perhaps you like pets, to cook or to play video games. Now, try to establish associations or links between these favorite activities of yours and the subject of study that you dislike. For example, let’s assume that you dislike Literature (you perhaps think it’s an utterly boredom) but love your humongous pit-bull “Casino Joe” Then you could start thinking how your dog would fit as a character into the novel you have to analyze: what its role would be and how he would interact with other characters in the novel.

Student Success Statement

Student Success Statement

“A CTR champion is a person who makes a great human out of himself.”

-Noemi Trigueros

                                                   (HPHS Student 2010-2011)

---

This statement means that any person who chooses the right will always be a great person within themselves. Knowing that their doing the right things simply makes them a good person and they will feel proud of themselves. If they choose the wrong, then that person isn’t much of a successful person than those choosing the right.

The body is related to the breath, and the breath is related to the mind. The body, breath, senses, and mind all function together as a unit. So life virtually means relationship, and thus the art of living and being requires an understanding of one’s relationship to the external world and the relationships within oneself.

All human beings have inner potentials, but many people are not aware of those potentials and do not know how to use them to have a successfully life. Those who are happy internally can never be happy externally; those who are happy within themselves can never make others happy. Those who do not love themselves can never love others.

The Effects of Smoking

“The Harmful Effects of Smoking”

There are many people in the world who die because of certain causes. Some die due to different reasons due to diseases they have such as:

·         Cancer

·         Diabetes

·         Heart attacks

·         Accidents.

But some may not even know that another cause of death is what they may do as a living, smoking. The people that smoke do it because of certain reasons:

§  Some might do it because they have problems at

o   Home

o   School

o   work

§  Others might do it just because they are simply addicted to it.

But what they might not know is that they are affecting many people. They do not only affect themselves but other people around them and the ones that care for them. Smokers might not know that smoking is really harmful, even though they don’t think that way or feel it. Smoking can lead to death because through time, it impacts your life. Smoking can cause you to have cancer:

v  Lung cancer

v  Mouth cancer

v  Stomach cancer

v  Brain cancer

These cancers can seriously affect you because you can die. The people that care for you will suffer too because they no longer have you anymore.

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 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 at time. So life in the external world is as important as life in the internal world. Even one who has renounced the world has to understand the word relationship properly, because life itself is actually relationship.
