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.

Student Success Statement (Eliazabeth Cady Stanton)

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.

 

Initiative (5 of 10)

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.

Problem-Solving Skills (4 of 10)

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 a 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 horizons, and make new discoveries. They look on the bright side of things and live happy lives.

Teamwork Skills

Every time your class breaks into groups to tackle a challenge, you build teamwork skills. In college, you’ll continue to have these opportunities to practice voicing your opinions, listening and responding to others, and reaching compromises. By the time you leave college, you can be an expert in this important workplace skill.

Everyone

Achieves

More

Individually you can achieve so much, but when you work with others for a common cause, the same objectives, you can accomplish a tremendous amount more. You synergize your talents, knowledge, and skills with those whom you work. All members of the team are edified together, a type of edification you can’t obtain by working alone.

Student Success Statement (ANON)

Student Success Statement

“Education is a marathon—not a sprint”

ANON

Reflection:

Education is earned persistently not and never in a rush. You take your time to work things step by step. That’s how things are done not by rushing; I’ll give you an example “oh I took notes I’m done.” Wrong, you go back and emphasize your notes what you did and challenge yourself ask questions.

 

Student Success Statement (Muhammad Ali)

Student Success Statement

“The man who has no imagination has no wings”

Muhammad Ali

Reflection:

You ever ask yourself where you’re going to see yourself in the future. Well, you are in the future, I’m in the future. You need to have an imagination of where you’re going to see yourself in that particular moment. But if you don’t believe and you don’t have dreams what’s the point; you have no wings you can’t go anywhere. I’ll give you an example: I imagine myself graduating from High School.

 

Speaking Skills (2 of 10)

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 of people. Far above the fear of death and disease, comes the fear of standing in front of a crowd. Joel Weiner 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 (LASD) 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, motivation co-workers or just communicating one-on-one with others, you’ll get far better results if you can speak persuasively, smoothly and intelligently.

Student success statement’s from ImTheJulian

Student Success Statement (Calvin Coolidge)

Student Success Statement

“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.”

-Calvin Coolidge, 30^th president of the United States

Reflection:

This is one of the most powerful quotes about persistence that you’ll ever hear.  Talent will not take the place of persistence, Intellectual wrong.  ‘Press on’ will always solve the problem. Determination, Wisdom, Heart, Compassion, Dedication, the list goes on and on.  Multiple answers though is can become the greatest weapon.
