Student Success Statement

"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

I agree with this statement because honesty is what truly makes a man and a woman. You just cant say you are honest and not show it. However honesty is sometimes used as a tool to hurt people, that is why when you are truly someone who is honest you find ways to use your honesty for good.

Honesty is always the best policy. Employers need to know that they can trust you with everything from company credit cards to trade secrets. How can you work at honesty? You demonstrate integrity every day that you do your own homework and resist the temptation to cheat on exams.

"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

I agree with this statement because if you are doing something you should not do it because you want the win or because you feel like you are going to loose. You should do it because you are having fun and you want to make the best out of it. 

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 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 a major presentation, 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

I agree with this statement because nothing more than truth can stand your ground. When you are standing in a ground full of lies, you will eventually fall into a hole of darkness. Because that is what lies bring, darkness, and pity. How ever the truth brings great accomplishments. 

Attention to Detail 7 out of 10

Attention to Detail

7 out 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 emails.

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 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

I agree with this statement because no one can learn for you. Only you yourself can learn for your own good.  For example if you get good grades it is because you as the "Architecture" build your way up to the top, not anybody else. You are the one that builds your future.

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 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; 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 than what is acceptable."
Peter F. Drucker

I agree with this statement because you must start with what is right as in the right way not with something that may look right to the eyes of others. For example, doing drugs. It may be acceptable by the ones that surround you, but is it really the right thing to do? I don't think so. Start off right by going to school and graduating and becoming someone great in life.

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.

"To be Great--Concentrate."
Orson Swett Marden

I agree with this quote because to achieve many incredible goals in your life you must concentrate. No one can just achieve anything out of thin air. For example if you want to win an award or a competition what you first must do is concentrate on a strategy or something that will help you achieve what you really desire.

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.

"Education is a marathon--not a sprint.
Anon

I agree with this statement because your education is success just like a marathon. But for success you need to achieve a lot. It is not a sprint where you can simply say I want education and you'll get it. You need to work hard for your education.

"The man who has no imagination has no wings"
Muhammad Ali

I agree with this statement because your imagination is what makes you do all the cool and interesting thing in your life. having no imagination is like taking off the wings of a butterfly. Now it can't go on and explore all the wonderful things in life. Imagination is the key to many new doors.

Speaking Skills 2 of 10

Speaking Skills

When you are 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 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"
--Calvin Coolidge, 30th president of the United States

You are the only one who will achieve what you really want to do, not anybody else. You do that with perseverance. I agree with this statement because if you persist on doing something that really makes you happy or anything involving that you of course can do it if you are persistent. Someone could be so talented but not show off his talents and never be recognized.

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, researches depend on the money they collect by writing grant applications, software engineers write technical specifications, and nearly everyone writes e-mails 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.
