“Truth is the only safe ground to stand upon”

Elizabeth Cady Stanton  

 

The truth is something we all need to say by saying the truth is a really good thing because when you lie and depending how big of a lie it is the more guilty you feel and that’s not a good feeling just say the truth because its more safer to say the truth and not lie about it.

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 championships, was asked what 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 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

You’re the one that has control on what you want to learn and what you don’t but when you are learning you have a way to study and prepare for tests that’s because you want to learn. If you try your best and do every single thing of homework and pass the tests then you would know what you do to stay focus. For example saying you have an exam coming up and you are taking the time to study and prepare for the test but your friend is not doing anything to prepare for the test when the test comes you wouldn’t be worry because you are prepared. Choose the right.   

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.

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

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 the 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.

“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 problem of the human race."

-Calvin Coolidge, 30th president of the United States

 

 

A lot of things are not built by people’s talent or those being genius well yeah they are but just because they built it doesn’t meant it’s going to work all the time but the persistence and determination well so if you want to do something that will help people you need to put your persistence and determination but not try to take over it.

Writing skills

1 of 10

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

Test—taking part 2



During the test

Read the directions.

It’s important that you follow the instruction exactly. For example, some questions may have more than one correct answer.

Answer easy questions first.

Doing this can jog your memory about useful facts. You may also come across information that can help you with other questions.

Answer every question.

Unless there is a penalty for wrong answers, try to answer every question: you may be able to get partial credit for those you begin but don’t complete correctly.

Ask questions.

If a question isn’t clear, talk to your teacher. If that’s not possible, explain your answer in the margin

Finally, look beyond the article for more clues.

·       Read the website’s home page and about us page. Look for a mission statement to learn more about the site, its purpose and the organization sponsoring it.

·       If there is an author listed, look for a biography that discusses the author’s education, profession and other relevant background. If there is no bio on the site, search for one elsewhere on the Web.

·       Check the date. Facts can change over time, so see if the site shows when it was last updated.

·       Presentation counts; look at everything from design to spelling. A clean, well- organized site shows a certain degree of professionalism

Read between the line
Make a judgment about site’s 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 a trusted source. 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. It is angry, satiric or overly impassioned? This may indicate that the site is biased.

·       Consider whether the argument 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.

“The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character.”

Margaret chase smith
 

Well basically what this quote is telling you is that you need to fight for what you think is right stand for it when other people don’t because they are scared to fight for it. Even though it’s not on the news if you know it’s something right then you should fight for it because it could help someone that can’t fight for it you will give them courage to else fight for it. For example the dream act that was something people fought for. Choose the right

Look at the site address. What follows the dot?
·       Dot-com is not only for businesses; anyone can use it. Dot-com include well-known and respected companies, but also private individuals.

·       Dot-org usually indicates a not-for-profit organization. Many dot-orgs present unbiased information, but others have political agendas, focus on debatable issues instead of facts, and might not present all side of an argument.

·       Dot-gov indicates a government website at the federal, state or local level source of statistics, and its sites are widely considered among the most reliable.

·       Dot-mil is used by sites that are part of the military.

·       Dot-edu usually indicates a university website. While its published research is generally considered very trustworthy, anyone associated with university, whether a world-renowned scholar or a freshman, can be given space on its server. Professors sometimes put student course work up on the web, but that doesn’t mean they’re vouching for the information’s accuracy.

·       Who wrote the web page? If you can’t identify the individual or organization responsible for information, don’t use it.

·       What are the author’s qualifications for writing on the subject?

·       Has the article passed through an editorial process designed to ensure quality and accuracy?

·       What is the website’s purpose? Look for motives—like selling products or winning votes—that could result in biased or incomplete information.

·       Is the information accurate? Is it up-to-date?

·       Where did the author get this information?

Using the Web Wisely
Thanks to web, information is easy to find. However, it’s also easy to post something online. Anyone can do it.
You’ve probably used the internet to do research for a paper, to help you decide which product to buy, or to form an opinion about current events. Looking up information online is fast and convenient. But when you do online research, it’s important to find sites you can trust.
Many website claim to have the facts, but are full of errors. Others present information in a biased way—they only give one side of an argument. How can you tell a reliable source from an unreliable one? Also, it is critical that you post online only that which is descent and appropriate, never anything pornographic, vulgar, indecent, out of taste, untruthful, or obscene. Post those things that will make a good name for you and your organization, that will promote goodwill and be of benefit to the world.
