“Honesty is the cornerstone of character. The honest man or woman seeks not merely to avoid criminal or illegal acts, but to be scrupulously fair, upright, fearless in both action and expression. Honesty pays dividends both in dollars and in peace of mind”

-B.C. Forbes

Reflection:

I think that this statement is trying to say that people need to be really careful with what they do and say. Sometimes people think that is they are dishonest it won’t really do any damage on anybody because when someone is dishonest it is just not being truthful. Sometimes if people are dishonest, they are always telling little white lies. If you keep on saying little white lies, they will become much 

Honesty

Honesty

"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

Reflection:

I think that this statement is trying to say that you shouldn't worry about the future. You should worry about the present because the future is not what you are living right this moment. The future  will come only if you worry about what you are doing right this moment. Sometimes what people do is that they only worry about the future and what will the future be like, but they can only find out about the future if they worry about the present.

Time Management

Time Management

8 of 10Masters 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 major presentations, 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.

“Truth is the only safe ground to stand upon.”

-Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Reflection:

I think that this statement is trying to say that people should always say the truth because if they don’t, then they will probably fall. Sometimes people feel that they have to lie to protect someone else, but they actually don’t because if they tell them the truth then they will avoid making the other person mad because they lied to them. At the end, the best thing to do is to tell the truth.

Attention to Detail

Attention to Detail

7 of 10

When you double-check your calculations for a math problem or cite source 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 led 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 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 educational attainment.

"Everyone is the architect of their own learning."

-Claudius

Reflection:

I think that this statement is trying to say that people need to decide what their learning will be like and not let others decide for them. If people let others decide what their learning will be like, then they will not learn the way they want to, therefore, they will not learn much. Sometimes all it takes is to decide for yourself how you want to learn.

Cool Under Pressure

Cool Under Pressure

6 of 10

Very few students enjoy taking tests. Yet functioning well under pressure is crucial to your future success. Try thinking of the pressure of testing as practice for the work world’s own explosive situation. You could someday find yourself meeting tight deadlines, speaking with irate customers, wielding a scalpel or handling dangerous chemicals.

The best way to crucial pressure and to even eliminate it is to prepare. Applying the motto “Be Prepared” holds true first time every time. Prepare for test, and you won’t worry about it. In fact, it will be your time to shine, to reveal the hard work you have put into preparing for the test. You will be rewarded for the effort you have thrust into your studies. Preparation removes fear. When you are prepared, you will not fear. Preparation helps you maintain your cool under pressure. Preparation generates energy and enthusiasm; therefore prepare and your coolness under pressure is sure to abound.

"Start with what is right rather that what is acceptable."

-Peter F. Drucker

Reflection:

I think that this statement is trying to say that people need to be very careful before they do something that they will regret. Sometimes people do things without think about it and they end up regretting it. Also, people do what other expect and sometimes it is the wrong thing to do. So, you should always try to do what is right than what is actually expected.

Initiative

Initiative

5 of 10

Initiative is creativity, inventiveness, originality, ingenuity, imagination. Every time you respond in class, every time you choose your own research topic, every time you put together your own interpretation of a piece of literature, you take initiative. And future employers value can-do professionals who come up with new ideas and chart their own course through projects, employees who are self-reliant. Self-reliant people are self-starters who don’t procrastinate on getting the job done. They know what is required to do and do it. They don’t wait to be told many times. Succeeding in high school, college, and in the career world is taking the initiative.

"To be great--concentrate."

-Orson Sweet Mardin

Reflection:

I think that this statement is trying to say that people need to be more concentrated on what they are doing. Sometimes people don't really concentrate on what is actually important and they end up doing something that really isn't that important. People need to not get distracted when they need to be really focused, like when they are taking a test, or doing their homework. They need to be concentrating on a test or homework so that they totally get it and don't get stuck. Do the right thing and concentrate. 

Problem-Solving Skills

Problem-Solving Skills

4 of 10

Problem solving goes far beyond your math textbook. Every assignment is an opportunity to weigh all possible solutions carefully and choose the one you think is best. As working professional, you’ll be solving problems regularly, whether it’s fixing a bug in a computer program or overcoming budget shortfalls. Problem solving situations occur extensively and frequently, therefore be ready when then come.

When problems or challenges occur, some people look at them at negative experiences, as a crisis. These people are the ones who live day by day with gloom and negativism in their attitudes. But the really successful people, those who are cheerful and optimistic, are those who look at problems as opportunities, opportunities to learn, grow, expand their horizon, and make new discoveries. They look on the bright side of things and live happy lives.

“The man who has no imagination has no wings.”

-Muhammad Ali

Reflection:

I think that this statement is trying to say that people need to try and have imagination so that they can at least try to pursue them. Sometimes all it takes for someone to go far is a little of imagination. If people didn't have imagination they would think about what could happen to them and they wouldn't try to even go far because they didn't imagine what would happen. 

Speaking Skills

Speaking Skills

2 of 10

When you’re assigned a class presentation, think twice before dismissing it as an unimportant part of your education. Employers look for speaking skills in job applicants, who may have to give presentations to clients or represent their organization in the field. It’s never too soon to practice good eye contact and other public speaking techniques.

http://www.newswiretoday.com/news/17334/

According to The Book of Lists, the fear of public speaking ranks number one in the minds of the majority people. Far above the fear of death and disease, comes the fear of standing in front of a crowd. Joel Wiener noted author and public speaker wants to help people overcome that fear.

“The biggest fear is public speaking, with 15 percent of American experiencing a dramatic fear of it,” said Dr. Michael Telch of the Laboratory for the Study of Anxiety Disorders (LSAD) in the Department of Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. “People have had to turn down jobs, and certainly students have dropped classes because of it.”

Regardless of your occupation, your success depends a great deal upon your ability to communicate effectively! Whether you’re running a meeting, selling a product, making a presentation, motivating co-workers, or just communicating one-on-one with others, you’ll get far better results if you can speak persuasively, smoothly and intelligently.

"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."

Reflection:  Well Mr. Coolidge has a point when you have persistence you will surely get more things done. You need determination and dedication. You need to be what is right you need to keep going when things get hard or rough you need to venture on and carry on and continue going because you’re not going to let anything get in your way because you know what you want and no one else. You need to be someone who leads and works tremendous measures to find whatever you’re looking out for.

Writing Skills

Communication is at the top of the list of skills that employers look for. And communication in the workplace often means writing.

Health professionals keep patient charts, researchers depend on the money they collect by writing grant applications, software engineers write technical specifications, and nearly everyone writes e-mail to people inside and outside their organization. And before you even get the chance to interview for a job, you’ll need to present yourself in cover letters and resumes.

So, by taking writing serious and doing your best on every research paper, every lab report you write, every new post you write in your blog site, and every writing activity you engage in, you’re preparing yourself for a good career.

During the Test

Read the directions.

It’s important that you follow the instructions exactly. For example, some questions may have more than one correct answer.

Answer easy questions first.

Doing this can jog your memory about useful facts. You may also come across information that can help you with other questions.

Answer every question.

Unless there is a penalty for wrong answers, try to answer every question; you may be able to get partial credit for those you begin but don’t complete correctly.

Ask questions.

If a question isn't clear, talk to your teacher. If that’s not possible, explain your answer in the margin.

Finally, look beyond the article for more clues.

v Read the website’s home page and the About Us page. Look for a mission statement to learn more about the site, its purpose and the organization sponsoring it.

v If there is an author listed, look for a biography that discusses the author’s education, profession and other relevant background. If there is no bio on the site, search for one elsewhere on the Web.

v Check the date. Facts can change overtime, so see if the site shows when it was last updated.

v Presentation counts; look at everything from design to spelling. A clean, well-organized site shows a certain degree of professionalism.

v Avoid sites that are pornographic, vulgar, inappropriate, below par, suggestive, and falsifying.

Look at the site’s address. What follows the dot?

·       Dot-com is not only for businesses; anyone can use it. Dot-coms include well-known and respected companies, but also private individuals.

·       Dot-org usually indicates a not-for-profit organization. Many dot-orgs present unbiased information, but others have political agendas, focus on debatable issues instead of facts, and might not present all sides of an argument.

·       Dot-gov indicates a government website at the federal, state or local level. The federal government is a good source of statistics, and its sites are widely considered among the most reliable.

·       Dot-mil is used by sites that are part of the military.

·       Dot-edu usually indicates a university website. While its published research is generally considered very trustworthy, anyone associated with the university, whether a world-renowned scholar for a freshman, can be given space on its server. Professors sometimes put student’s course work up on the Web, but that doesn't mean they’re vouching for the information’s accuracy.

·       Who wrote the Web page? If you can’t identify the individual or organization responsible for the information, don’t use it.

·       What are the author’s qualifications for writing on the subject?

·       Has the article passed through an editorial process designed to ensure quality and accuracy?

·       What is the website’s purpose? Look for motives— like selling products or winning votes— that could result in biased or incomplete information.

·       Is the information accurate? Is it up to date?

·       Where did the author get this information?

Be quick, but don't get into a hurry."

-John Wooden

Reflection:

I think that this statement is trying to say that people need to be quick enough to do what they have to do, but slow enough to actually learn from what they did and get it right the first time. Sometimes people do things so fast that they don't even know what they are doing and at the end they didn't learn anything at all. For example, if someone is supposed to copy down notes and they do it really fast, they will not because learn anything from it because they did everything in such a rush.

Using the Web Wisely

Thanks to the Web, information is easy to find. However, it’s also easy to post something online. Anyone can do it.

You've probably used the Internet to do research for the paper, to help you decide which product to buy, or to form an opinion about current events. Looking up information online is fast and convenient. But when you do online research, it’s important to find sites you can trust.

Many websites claim to have the facts, but are full of errors. Others present information in a biased way— they only give one side of an argument. How can you tell a reliable source from an unreliable one? Also, it is critical that you post online only that which is decent and appropriate, never anything pornographic, vulgar, indecent, out of taste, untruthful, or obscene. Post those things that will make good name for you and your organization, that will promote goodwill and be of benefit to the world.

At the end of each section, look up from the text and in your own words recite an answer to your question for that section. Then write down your answer. Be sure to provide examples that support it.

Now repeat the Question, Read and Recite steps for each section of the chapter. First ask a question for the next section. Then read and find the answer. Finally, recite the answer in your own words and jot it down. The written questions and answers can help you study in the future.

Review 

After completing the chapter, review your notes. Identify the main points by looking for the most important idea in each section. Recite, or write, a brief summary of the assignment.

Review your study notes every week to help you remember the information. When it’s time to prepare for the tests, you’ll find you've created an invaluable study guide.

·       Turn the title, headings or subheadings into questions.

·       Rewrite the questions at the end of the chapter or after each subheading in your own words.

Write down your questions. Questions help you pay attention, understand the text better and recall the information more easily later on.

Read

Read one section of the chapter at a time, actively looking for an answer to your questions for that section. Pay attention to bold and italicized text that authors use to make important points.

Be sure to review everything in the section, including tables, graphs and illustrations—these features can communicate an idea more powerfully than written text.
