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 learned both for that purpose and for each step you take to reach your goals. Simply visualize your desired goals, that of being a start student, a champion of doing what is right, and see yourself working hard to become outstanding, and you’re your dreams and vision will materialize as you pursue these objectives. 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 enable you to recover from setbacks more easily.

What is important to you is that you, as you start to reach milestone in your ambitions, you appreciate your own achievements. It is a boost, of course, if other appreciates what you have done too, but appreciating yourself will strengthen your self-belief, and reinforce your determination to succeed.Some of the key characteristics you will find in those who are successful are per severance, 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 succeeding, a strong vision of your future planning and setting yourself achievable targets can all play an important role.

“Be wise-Never Use Drugs or Alcohol”

Always be wise when doing these kinds of things that you are doing within your life because you can have a high risk of dying by doing drugs or alcohol. Make sure to always be wise when choosing what you want to do. Never use drugs and/or alcohol because you can die or go to the hospital for not being wise.  And if you do decide to be wise about it, then you won’t have any of these problems in your life and actually live your life all the way through. Also some people want to fit in with everybody else, so that’s why they start doing drugs and also start drinking alcohol so it can make them look cool in front of everyone. But they don’t know what can actually happen to them, like them going to the hospital, or possibly dying by too much drugs and alcohol. So never ever do drugs or drink any type of alcohol, because it’s possible to cause death or even go to the hospital. It’s already happen to everyone else.

Whether studying or in general life, planning is an imperative skill. Here, we must strictly set the hours for studying, and should promote regularity in doing so. Don’t put off your studies to the last moment (just before the test), because in that moment you will be feeling stress and pressure, and both factors will probe disturbing for your learning; that’s the high price of procrastination. During the exam, it’s important to forget about panic and stress. And if you are planning for your thesis, you may find this post useful. Other planning tip I frequently give is that, when you are assigned a homework, try to solve it as quickly as possible, several days before the required date, but don’t try to complete it perfectly and don’t submit it immediately. I always recommend doing homework early, but deliver it at the last possible day.

·         They prefer tasks with some degree of difficulty and novelty, which stimulate their learning skills.

·         They don’t apply the simple criteria of success-fail to their learning. Remember, they are focused into the learning process.

·         They know how to handle groups.

·         Finally, they work with passion.

Other chief habit is that of asking questions. We have to establish hypothesis and set concrete, realistic goals. After reading any text we have to ask several different questions related to its content, in order to verify if we have completely understood the text. It’s also important to try to relate such text and other areas of our knowledge. Again, linking ideas and concepts is a habit of highly successful students. So, link.

·         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 is more important. A result is a very brief moment of life, while learning to develop processes 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 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 you 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 it is divided into two aspect –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.

If you prefer to play videogames, then remember that making any video game requires to prepare a detailed script including history, characters, goals and relations. Therefore, you could start writing down the script for your “dream” game. On the other side, you could imagine hoe the novel you are reading could be transformed into a videogame (start out by thinking which gaming genre fits the novel better: role-playing, adventure, action, and so on.) the basic idea is to find match points and links between our affection and our chores. And such links there always exist. Remember, to link ideas and a concept is the most important habit for successful students.

Successful students also exhibit other particular traits we should internalize:

The Importance of Taking Personal Responsibility

The Importance of Taking Personal  Responsibility

The importance is to take your responsibility with you. If you don’t then that is choosing the wrong. Always take care of your responsibility before doing something else, and if you don’t, it can make even more problems with your life. When everything else has receded into finality behind a clear wall of judgment, self responsibility remains as the only thing someone can reference for vindication.

Responsibility — it evokes images of austere emotions; a call to sometimes own up to unpleasant but necessary personal conduct and moral obligations. A lesson taught from the first day of first grade to the last day of life. A test we seem to fail over and over again and pass at a high cost.

Therefore, it can appear obvious why so often, when facing the consequences of their decisions, people often throw their hands in the air and naively fake accountability. For if we have established how lofty taking responsibility for our actions often feels, then shouldn’t we acknowledge, accept and excuse most failures in this area?

Maybe the way of considering this involves how much of our humanness we can sacrifice in the answer. If we answer yes, then we place ourselves much lower on the evolutionary chain then we previously stood. Because what sets us apart as an advanced species lies not in bipedal locomotion and the ability for speech, but in our proclivity for ethical reasoning and conscientiousness. We willingly recognize the possibility for taking the blame.

Ø  Never blame anyone else

2) Success is about achieving goals, and therefore is a relative motion. Highly successful students are those which set realistic goals; 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 started what the successful student is like. Good.

2- if you have negative entries in your life of driving forces, its 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 videogames. Now, try to establish associations or links between these favorite activities of yours and the subject of study that you dislike. For example, lets assume that you dislike Literature ( you perhaps think its 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.

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 relationship 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 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.

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

1.  The first step in this direction to sincerely point out the driving force or motivation. Let’s relax, and start listing the reasons that impel you to study some topic, 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 specific point (it’s for sure that you are 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 the list cannot be empty. Whether you found a huge list of driving force or a list of reasons for not studying, the end product of this step compromises at least one item ( a positive or negative driving force)

We humans are innate learners, as learning is the   cornerstone for survival. We must remember, abstract and apply knowledge in diverse (and often harsh) environments in order to develop into and behave as truly intelligent beings. In short, the adaptability and resilience 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 from

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 simply because we want to learn something new everyday.

Student Success Statement   “Regard your good name as the richest jewel you can possibly be possessed of.”                                                                   -Socrates

 What I think that this statement means is that your name can be the biggest jewel as long as you know how to make it and shine it like no one had before. What this also means is that your name is not someone else but you because we all have different personalities.

How Successful Students Prepare for Test

PART 2

8. Make summary sheets, flash cards, and practice test.
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 your strongest intelligence, sense or in your dominant hemisphere. Reinforce is with as many different ways as possible.
11. Find a study guide partner or two in each class and routinely take turns teaching each other the material.
12. Prepare for each 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 advanced. 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.
