What is important to you is that you, as you start to reach milestones in life 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- beliefs, and reinforce your determination to succeed. 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.Student Success

They concentrate on the process of solving the task and understanding the involved ideas. Of course we are interested in getting good results, but the process I s more important. A result is a very brief moment in life, while learning to develop process is a skill that will last for the whole life.

They interpret and analyze errors as a way of increasing their learning, i.e, they try to learn from their mistakes. This way, they see errors and failures as opportunities.

They look for the required information in several channels (books, journals, newspapers, experts, internet and so on.)

 They consult experts and teachers frequently. This action provides a new perspective about the studied topics.

 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 within ourselves? When we begin to examine life, we can see that it I 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 on time. So life in the external world is as important as life in the internal world.

2- Success is about achieve achieving goals, therefore is a relative notion. Highly successful students are those 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 entries on 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 too 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 that novel you have to analyze: what its role would be and how he would interact with other characters in the novel.

“A CTR Champion Is A Person Who Makes A Great Human Out Of Himself”

     Noemi Trigueros

(HPSH Student 2010-11)

We are all ordinary people living extraordinary lives. I've learned that we don't necessarily have control of our lives, for some odd reason, but we sure must take every opportunity we come across with. Whether it'll be retaking a  test for a better grade or using your allowance to make food for the homeless. Something is better than nothing.

 

That's what "choosing the right" is all about. Making a positive difference in the world everyday. CTR

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

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 its divided into two aspects- life within life 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 wildness doing nothing but meditation, we cannot ignore external life. We still have to see t5hat we eat, do our ablutions, and preform our practices on 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 property, because life itself id actually relationship.

If we are to succeed in life, we must hone our learning skills.

 

1-The first step in this direction is to sincerely point out the driving force or motivation. Let’s relax, and start listing the reasons that impel you to study some topics, as crude as they may be. It’s possible that your list is empty. Don’t worry, it only means that you have not identified any reason to study the chosen and very specific point (It’s for sure that you are an excellent learner in other areas of life.) If you don’t have any motivation to study, then give me the list of reasons why you don’t want to study, and please note that this list cannot be empty. Whether you found a huge list of driving forces or list of reasons for not studying, the end product of this step comprises at least one item (a positive or negative driving force)

We humans are innate learners, as learning is cornerstone for survival. We must remember, abstract and apply knowledge in diverse (and often harsh) environment in order to develop into and behave as truly intelligent beings. In short, the adaptability and resilience we exhibit stems from learning. Now, a key issue to learning is the driving force behind it, i.e., the motivation or stimuli to learn. We can learn because of fear (we want to learn how to protect ourselves form danger.) We can learn just out of curiosity, (our natural inquisitive behavior.) We can learn because we want to reach some social status (approval of others is a potent stimuli to learn.) We can learn simple because we love to learn new things every day. There are plenty of reasons to learn and yours may easily be a mixture of these. Health and money are important things in life, but learning is the base for using them wisely.

How Successful Students Prepare for Tests Part 2

8. Make summary sheets, flashcards, and practice tests.

9. Always carry some kind of pocket work and make use of wasted spare minutes by reciting and thinking about what you are learning.

10. Learn something new or difficult in you strongest intelligence, sense or in your dominant hemisphere. Reinforce it with as many different ways as possible.

11. Find a study partner or 2 in each class and routinely take turns teaching each other the material.

12. Prepare for class as if there will be a pop quiz.

The single most important way to prepare for a test is to study many days in advance.  Study each day to prepare for a test that is coming in a few days or weeks. When you are prepared, you will do great on the test and you will be confident

 The Secrets of Successful Students

                   Part 2

Successful students take charge of their lives and balance their time between fun and work. They know that there is a time for all-nighters, and it’s not during finals week. Successful students take care of themselves.  

Do you live on junk food and lay on the couch watching TV every night? Students with poor physical habits probably don’t feel very energetic in the mornings, and they probably don’t feel good sitting in class either.

Good food and little exercise will clear your head! Students who eat junk in moderation (you really don’t have to put out, completely) and work out in some way are more likely to participate in sports. That means they have more balance in their lives, feel better in mornings, and are more alert in class.

·     You just have to change a few habits to feel better.

·      Eat healthy foods,

·     start walking more,

·     take yoga class,

·      enroll in martial arts classes, or

·     Challenge yourselves to do sit ups all night. You’ll notice a change right away.
