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

-Peter F. Drucker

Reflection: I think this quote means to what you know you can do rather than do what you want to do. Like on a project you want to put the best work in the project so you could get the best results rather than do a project with the work that you know should be in there.

Initiative 5 of 10

 Initiative

5 of 10

Initiative is creating, 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-relentless people are self-starters who don’t procrastinate on getting the job done. They know what is required and do it. They don’t wait to be told many times. Success in high school, college, and in the career world is taking the initiative.

“Education is a marathon-not a sprint.”

-Anon

Reflection: I think this quote means you should never speed through an education subject because you can learn a lot when you pay attention in class. That is why you go to school every day so you could learn a little bit every day. Also you are expected to train for it not just run for it real quick and expect to be done.

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 you opinion, listening and responding to others, and reaching compromises. By the time you leave college, you can be an expert in this important workspace skill.

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

Speaking skills

2 of 10

When you’re assigned a class presentation, think twice before dismissing it as unimportant part of your education. Employers look for speaking skills in job applicants, who may have to give presentation to clients or represent their organization in the field. It’s never to soon to practice good eye contact and other public speaking techniques.

http://www.newswiretoday.com/news/17334/

according to the book of list 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 experience 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 became 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.;

 Writing Skills

1of 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 patents charts, researchers depend on the money they collect by writing grant applications, software engineers write technical specification, and nearly every one 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 post you write on your blog site, and every writing activity you engage in, you’re preparing yourself for a good career.

During the test

Read the directions.

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

Answer easy questions first

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

Unless there i9s a penalty for wrong anwers, try to answer every question; you may be able to get answer every question; you may be able to get partial credit for those you being 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

“Always do right.”

Mark Twain

Reflection: I agree with this statement because always doing the right just makes you even more of a better person. It’s never too late to start being a better person and not only for yourself but for others all around you too. All it takes is the courage to say that you will not be a negative person anymore. Even the smallest amount of kindness can make the biggest impact in someone’s life.

Finally, look beyond the article for more clues.

·         Read the website’s home page and the 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 overtime, 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.

·         Avoid sites that are pornographic vulgar inappropriate.

“Gold medals don’t make champions…. Hard 

work does.”

ANON

Reflection: I think this quote means just 

because you get a gold medal doesn’t mean 

that you are a champion it just means that 

you were able to do something some couldn’t 

do. But by hard work you are a champion 

because you could feel it. When you work 

hard you will become a champion.

Read between the lines

Make a judgment about the sit’s and responsibilities 

based on your own analysis of the site on 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. 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 source that the author acknowledges. Scholarly writing, whether in print or on line, should include a bibliography.

Dot-what?

Look at the site’s address. What follows the dot?

·      Dot-com is not only for businesses; anyone can use it. Dot-coms 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, focused on debates issues instead of facts, and might not present all sides of an argument.

·      Dot-gov indicates a government website at the federal, state or local level. The federal government is a good source of statistics, and its site is 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 the university, whether a world-renowned scholar or a freshman, can be given space on its server. Professors sometimes put student’s course work up on the web, but that doesn’t mean they’re vouching for the information’s accuracy.

Research with Attitude

Conduct your research with the attitude of a skeptic. As you examine websites for clues that they’re trustworthy, ask these questions:

·      Who wrote the Web page? If you can’t identify the individual or organization responsible for the 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 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 the 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 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 websites claim to have facts, but are full of errors. Others present information in 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.

Questions

As you survey the text, ask questions for each selection. Ask who, what, where, when, why, and how questions as they relate to the content. Here’s how you can create questions:

Turn the tittle, heading or subtitle into questions.

Rewrite the questions at the end of the chapter or after each subheading in your own words.

Write down your questions. Questions help you pay attention, understand the text better and recall the information more easily later on.

Read

Read one section of the chapter at a time, actively looking for an answer to your question for that section. Pay attention to bold and italicized text the authors use to make important points.

Be sure to review everything in the section, including table, graphs, and illustrations – these features can communicate an idea more powerfully than written text.

Tip 5: Keep a List of Questions

When you feel confused about something you’re reading, write down any questions you have. Sometimes you’re questions are answered as you read further. If not, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Remember, teachers create assignments; you've read the text and are familiar with them. When you have specific question, 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.

The philosopher Sir Francis Bacon said, “Knowledge is power.” Improving your reading comprehension is the key to gaining important knowledge and making the most of your education. So pick up a book… and a pen.

“When I was teaching basketball, I urged my

 players to try their hardest to improve on that 

very day, to make that practice a masterpiece.

This rule is even more important in life than 

basketball. You have to apply yourself each 

day to become a little better. By applying 

yourself to the task of becoming a little better 

each and every day over a period of time, you

 will become a lot better. Only then will you be 

able to approach being the best you can be. It

 begins by trying to make each day count and 

knowing you can never make up for a lost day.”

-John Wooden

this statement is showing me that if try my 

best each day , my best will improve little by
