Student Success Statement



Student Success Statement
“Take care of yourself and everything else will fall into place.”
Coach David Diamont
This statement is trying to say that if you take care of your body or your health mentally you won’t suffer or worry about anything. If you make sure to take good care of yourself you won’t be in a bad situation. When you care for yourself people might think you only care for yourself but then again no one is there for you. When you care for yourself you will feel good about yourself and be happy.

Acquiring the Habits of Highly Successful Students Part 13


Acquiring the Habits of Highly Successful Students

Part 13

If you feel you do not naturally have all those characteristics, then do not despair. Each of them can be accomplished by your own application. You can use medication and visualization techniques to initiate your vision, and they can certainly be learned both for that purpose and for each step you take to reach your goals. Simply visualize your desired goals, that of being a star student, a champion of doing what is right, and see yourself working hard to become outstanding, and you’re dreams and vision will materialize as you pursue these objectives. Setting goals and objectives can be a personal or business technique that can be learnt. You can develop inner strength to succeed if you apply yourself to doing just that; that will enable you to recover from setbacks more easily.

Acquiring the Habits of Successful Students Part 12


Acquiring the Habits of Successful Students

Part 12

What is important to you is that you, as you start to reach milestones in your ambitions, you appreciate your own achievements. It is a boost, of course, if others appreciate what you have done too, but appreciating yourself will strengthen your self-belief, and reinforce your determination to succeed. Some of the key characteristics you will find in those who are successful are perseverance, prepared to research, plan and work hard, practice a lot even when things do not seem to be going well, and an ability to recover and learn from setbacks. At the outset of whatever it is you are trying to succeed in, a strong vision of your future, planning, and setting yourself achievable targets can all play an important role.

Acquiring the Habits of Highly Successful Students Part 11


Acquiring the Habits of Highly Successful Students

Part 11

Whether studying or in general life, planning is an imperative skill. Here, we must strictly set the hours for studying and should promote regularity in doing so. Don’t put off your studies to the last moment (just before the test), because in that moment you will be feeling stress and pressure, and both factors will prove disturbing for your learning; that’s the high price of procrastination. During the exam, it’s important to forget about panic and stress. And if you are planning for this thesis, you may find this post useful. Other planning tip I frequently give is that, when you are assigned a homework, try to solve it as quickly as possible, several days before the required date, but don’t try to complete it perfectly and don’t submit it immediately. I always recommend doing homework early, but deliver it at the last possible day.
