acquiring the habits of highly successful students part12
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.

“Be Wise—Never Use Drugs or Alcohol
“Be Wise—Never Use Drugs or Alcohol”
Never do drugs because they can harm you and your family. We
have to take care of our families and yourselves. Drugs kill you slowly every
day and will kill your brain cells. You can also get lung cancer and they will
have to make a hole in your neck. You can also be dangerous to others. The smoke
will affect youths; some famous people kill themselves by using alcohol. Some teenagers
do drugs and alcohol because they think the look cools to their friends. If you
smoke I say you should stop and just don’t do it any more.
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,
because in that moment you will be feeling stress and pressure, and both
factors will prove disturbing for your learning; that’s high price of procrastination.
During the exam, it’s important to forget about panic and stress. And if you
are planning tip I frequently give is that, when you are assigned 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.

They prefer tasks with someone degree of difficulty and
novelty, which stimulate their learning skills.
They don’t apply the simple criteria of success-fail to their
learning, Remember, they are focused into the learning, process.
They know how to handle
groups.
Finally, they work with passion.
Other chief habit is that of asking questions. We have to establish
hypothesis and set concrete, realistic goals. After reading any text we have to
ask several different questions related to its concepts, in order to verify if
we have completely understood the text. It’s also important to try to relate
such text and other areas of our knowledge. Again, linking ideas and concept is
a habit of highly successful students. So, link.

They concentrate on the process of solving the task and understanding the involved ideas. Or course we are interested in getting good results, but the process is more important. A result a very brief movement of life, while learning to develop processes is a skill that will last for the whole life.
They interpret and analyze errors as a way of increasing their learning. i.e., they try to learn from their learn from their mistakes. This way, they see errors and failures as opportunities.
