Acquiring the habit of highly successful students part 2

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 list cannot be empty. Whether you found a huge list of driving forces or a list of reasons for not studying, the end product of this step comprises at least one item (a positive or negative driving force.)

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

Acquiring the habits of highly successful students

Part1

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 was exhibit stem 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 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 other is a potent stimuli to learn.) we can only learn simply 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.

Part 1

 

Are you really doing everything you can to prove for tests? Re read the chapter and looking over your notes is not enough. Below is a list of tips for test preparation from successful students

1.     Keep up to date with assignments.

2.    Take notes in every class every day. This asking questions when you don’t understand

3.    Process information as you comes to it. Learning information is much different than “becoming acquainted” with it.

4.    Process information systematically. Label in the margin works well for most people.

5.    Adapt it to suit your learning styles. Capitalize on the discipline label in the margin requires and make it habit to process information from texts and lectures, not just g over it.

6.    Have a study place that is free of distractions.

7.     Have a specific time for time for initial study of each subject. You may need more than this time, but having a set time will save your time

Student Success Statement

“Obedience leads to true freedom”

What James is trying to say is that if obedient you will do well where ever you go/are if you’re disobedient then you’re choosing the wrong and you will not do well at all

Successful student 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 cut it 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 the mornings, and are more alert in class.

You just have to change a few habits to feel better. Eat healthy food, start walking more, take a yoga class, enroll in martial arts classes, or challenge yourself to do sit ups at night. You’ll notice a change right away.
