Student Responsibilities
Part 3
Some of the key characteristics you will find in those who
are successful and perseverance, prepared to research, plan and work hard,
practice a lot even when things do not seem to be going well, and an ability to
recover and learn from setbacks. At the outset of whatever it is you are trying
to succeed in, a strong vision of your future, planning, and setting yourself achievable
targets can all play an important role.
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 learnt both for that purpose and for each step you
take to reach your goals. 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 be enable you to recover from
setbacks more easily.

Part 3
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-belief, and reinforce your determination to
succeed.

Successful
Students Part II
4. Successful students learn that a student and a teacher
make a team. Most teachers want exactly what you want: they would like for you
to learn the material in their respective classes and earn a good grade.
Successful students reflect well on their efforts of any
teacher; if you have learned your material, the instructor takes some
justifiable pride in teaching. Join forces with your instructor, they are not
enemies, and you share the same interests, the same goals. – In short, your teammates.
6. Successful students take goo notes. Successful students
take notes that are understandable

"I am not bound to win, but i am bound to be true. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he gors wrong." --Abraham Lincoln
Reflection: This statement describes that winning isnt everything but being true is, and that he is not tied to winning but that he is tied to doing whats truthful and right. He also states that anyone that is doing the right thing he is with them and once they start doing bad he leaves them.
Successful Students
Part 1
Successful
students exhibit a combination of successful attitudes and behaviors as well as
intellectual capacity.
1. Successful students are responsible and
active. Successful students get involved in their studies, accept
responsibility for their own education, and are active participants in it!
Responsibility means control. It’s the difference between leading and
being led. Your own efforts control your grade, you earn the glory or deserve
the blame, and you make the choice. Active classroom participation improves
grades without increasing study time. You can sit there, act bored, daydream,
or sleep. Or you can actively listen, question, and take notes like someone in
charge of their learning experience.

“Right is Right, even if everyone is against it. Wrong is
wrong even if everyone is for it.”
Reflection: This is a quote that my mom tells me all the
time, she tells me before I go to school before I go out somewhere. I always get
this advice from everybody whether it’s my aunts or my dad.
50 Habits of Successful People
(Habits 44-47)
44. They don’t rationalize failure. While many are talking
about their age, their sore back, their lack of time, their poor genetics,
their “bad luck”, their nasty boss and their lack of opportunities (all good
reasons to fail), they are finding a way to succeed despite all their
challenges.
45. They have an off switch. They know how to relax, enjoy
what they have in their life and to have fun.
46. Their career is not their identity, it’s their job. It’s
not who they are, it’s what they do.
47. They are more interested in effective than they are in
easy. While the majority look for the quickest, easiest way (the shortcut),
they look for the course of action which will produce the best results over the
long term.

This little boy is out of this world because most kids wont give up a baseball that he caught at his favorite team game. If that was me I wouldnt give anyone the ball not even my brother if he wanted it. It was a good idea for them to give that little boy the ball because the kid nicholas was going to start crying.

embrace change, while the majority are creatures of comfort and habit. They are
comfortable with, and the new and the unfamiliar.

50 Habits of Successful People
(Habits 21-30)
21. They don’t
believe in, or wait for fate, destiny, chance or luck to determine or shape
their future. They believe in, and are committed to actively and consciously creating
their own best life.
22. While many people are reactive, they are proactive. They
take action before they have to.
23. They are more effective than most at managing their emotions.
They feel like we all do but they are not slaves to their emotions.
24. They are good communicators and they consciously work at
it.
25. They have a plan for their life and they work
methodically at turning that plan into reality. Their life is not a clumsy
series of unplanned events and outcomes.
26. Their desire to be exceptional means that they typically
do things that most won’t. They become exceptional by choice. We’re all faced
with life-shaping decisions almost daily. Successful make the decisions that
most won’t and don’t.
27. While many people are pleasure junkies and avoid pain
and discomfort at all costs, successful people understand the values and
benefits of working through the tough stuff that most would avoid.
28. They have identified their core values (what is
important to them) and they do their best to live a life which is reflective of
those values.
29. They have balance. While they may be financially successful,
they know that the terms money and success are not interchangeable. They
understand that people, who are successful on a financial level only, are not
successful at all. Unfortunately we live in a society which teaches that money
equals success. Like many other things, money is a toll. It’s certainly not a
bad thing but ultimately; it’s just another resource. Unfortunately, too many
people worship it.
30. They understand the importance of discipline and
self-control. They are strong. They are happy to take the road less traveled.

What is personality?
The word ‘’Personality’’ comes from the root persona, which means “mask”.
Our personality is a mask that we wear. We don’t have to wear a mask when we
are by ourselves; we wear a mask to express ourselves to others. Our personality
is a character, and that character is composed of certain habits. Each of us
has numerous habits; so when we want to understand our personality; we should
understand our habit patterns. A habit pattern is a conscious thought or action
that one repeats again and again. This creates a grove in the unconscious minds
and forms an unconscious habit. Unconscious habits are stronger than conscious
habits. All habit patterns are self-created. When we sit down and try to
understand which of our habits control our life, we see that there are many
deep-rooted habits within us. Choose habits that will mold your personality
into a super successful student and

Keys
to Successful Living
Part 3
93(Anon)
We should understand
our capacities and potentials, and then we should express ourselves in the
external world with full confidence, acting steps without any reservations. Thus
there are three in preforming an action: first, forming an opinion within
ourselves; second, expressing our opinion to others; and third, executing our
opinion in action.
Understanding Habitat
Patterns
The main thing that one
should learn in life— and it is not taught at the home or in the schools- is self-analysis. We should learn to analyze
ourselves. If we really wanted to understand ourselves, we can analyze our
personality by understanding our habit patterns. This is not difficult. We
should simply try to be consciously aware of every action we preform and
realize that our actions are virtually our thoughts. Without thought there can
be no action. Habits patterns and thoughts are revealed through behavior. There
is a branch of psychology called behaviorism that is based on this concept. But
one should understand that external behavior alone cannot reveal everything
