“Stop Worrying about whether you’re going to win or lose and focus on what’s happening right this moment.”

Focus on the percent 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.

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 lead his teams to ten consecutive national championship 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.

Cool Under Pressure

6 to 10

 Very few students enjoy taking test. 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. Yet 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 the 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.

Initiative

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 the 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 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 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.

Speaking Skills

When you’re assigned a class 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 (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-working or just communicating one-on-one with others you’ll get far better results if you can speak persuasively smoothly and intelligently.

Make a judgment about the site reliability based on your own analysis of the site and the information it contains. Here are some ways to do this:

·        Look for facts you know or can check with trusted sources. If the site gets those facts right it’s more likely that the other facts on the site are also accurate.

·        Study the language used. Is it angry satiric or overly impassioned? This may indicate that the site is biased.

·        Consider whether the arguments are logical and backed up by evidence and whether the site presents only one point of view.

·        Check the links to the sources that the author acknowledges. Scholarly writing whether in print or online should include a bibliography.

Tip 5: keep a List of Questions

When you feel confused about something you’re reading, write down any questions you have. Sometimes your questions are answered as you read further. If not, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Remember, teachers create assignments; they’ve read the texts and are familiar with them. When you have specific questions, your teachers can provide answers that will help you better understand the material. Learning is rooted in questions developed and asked by the learner.

Asking questions to yourself, to the teacher, and to others, is a great learning method. When you cease to ask questions, you cease to exist to a great extent. Read actively by silently asking questions as you read. Questioning immerses you into the material you are reading and therefore will expand your mental capacities more than almost anything else.

If you’re having trouble understanding a popular text, do some research and see what knowledgeable sources have to say about it. In addition to increasing your comprehension, you’ll also be showing initiative, something teachers always like to see. Always use legitimate and scholarly sources, not condensed study guides.

Tip 4: Use a Dictionary

Make sure you have access to a dictionary when you’re reading. You can often figure out the meaning of an unfamiliar word by using context clues, but sometimes you can’t.

1.     Focus on High-Impact Activities

The key to success in school is staying focused on your course work. Make a list to get an overall picture of your workload before you start to tackle any of it. Then, make a plan. Although it’s tempting to do the simplest assignments first, those that take more time and effort to accomplish are probably the ones that you’ll learn the most from.

To determine what your priorities are, rank your assignments in the order of their importance. Then rearrange your time and devote more energy toward those that have the greatest impact on your course work and grades. For example, even though all homework assignments are important, studying for a midterm exam takes priority over writing a paragraph for English class. As you complete each task, think of it as another step on your way to college success.

2.     Create New Challenges

Changing your approach can help you stay interested in what you’re doing. If you’ve been given an assignment similar to one you’ve done in the past, think about it in a different way. If you wrote an essay for a creative writing assignment last year, try a poem this time. For book reports, pick a history book instead of another biography.

Most of the communication as well as the course work, in distance-learning classes is written.

Challenging Aspects of Distance Education

·         Look of in-person interaction: Some educators argue that both teacher-student and student-teacher contact are essential to learning. In a distance-learning classroom, you may be able to participate in class discussions online in chat rooms, message boards or Web conferences – but it’s not the same as being with other students in a classroom.

·         Different levels of quality: Many distance-education programs supply an excellent experience, but may others not. Research any program before signing on to make sure it’s rigorous enough. If you are choosing your own program, look into it’s accreditation before enrolling.

·         The need to self-start: Distance education lets you make your own schedules. If you have a hard time getting motivated, this might not be the ideal educational setting for you.
