Student Success Statement (Phil Jackson)


Student Success Statement

“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:

Phil Jackson was right when he mentioned not to worry about winning or losing. But to focus on what’s happening now on this particular moment to make the things right and do better than yesterday. It’s a process of attention step by step you need to concentrate as much as possible for you to stay on ground and focus on this moment. You won’t go back and relive this moment ever again so it’s better off to do as much as you can.

Time Management (8 of 10)


Time Management

8 of 10

Master 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 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 a major presentation, or order tomorrow’s produce while planning next week’s menu.

Someone said. “Wherever you are, be there.” Focus on the project 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.

Attention to Detail (7 of 10)


Attention to Detail

7 of 10

When you double-check your calculations for a math problem or cite sources 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 high achievement in any worthwhile pursuit. He even paid attention to how his prayers 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.

Student Success Statement (Claudius)


Student Success Statement

“Everyone is the architect of their own learning.”

Claudius

Reflection:

The teacher may teach but the one that learns is you. Every single human being on this planet has the ability to learn in their own way. Sure, not all of us learn the same way right? But what I mean is the architect of learning is in you.  You go places.

Cool Under Pressure (6 of 10)


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 situations. You could someday find yourself meeting tight deadlines, speaking with irate customers, wielding a scalpel or handling dangerous chemicals.

The best way to curtail pressure and to even eliminate it is to prepare. Applying the motto “Be Prepared” holds true first time and every time. Prepare for that test, and you won’t worry about it. In fact, it will be your chance 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.

Student Success Statement (Peter F. Drucker)


Student Success Statement

“Start with what is right rather than what is acceptable.”

Peter F. Drucker

Reflection:

My thoughts on this quote by Peter F. Drucker; I think what he meant is before you look on making your first move always make sure it’s the right one then whether It’s the good or the bad. Always choose the right buddy, it will pay of the acceptable can wait.
