“Success is dependent on effort.”
-Sophocles, Greek Dramatist
Reflection: I think this quote means that  if you want something you have to earn it and when you really want something you should put effort into it because what you want is not just going to come to you, you have to earn it and put effort into it.

How to Take on College Studying
Part 2
Choose where to study
 Where you should study depends on the two factors: the environment in which you are best able to concentrate and the types of work you are planning to do.
·       The best places to study have good light, a comfortable temperature and enough desk space-usually your dorm room, your apartment or the library.
·       For completing problems sets or brainstorming possible test questions, you may want to study with a group or at least in a setting where fellow students are available for discussion.
·       When you are reading book chapters or research paper, you are probably better off in a less social environment.
Improve your study Habits
Here are simple steps you can take to help you get a handle on studying:
. have a routine for where and when you study.
. choose reasonable and specific goals that you can accomplish for each study session.
. Do things that are harder or require more intense thought at your most productive time of the day.
. Take breaks if you need them so you don’t waste time looking at material but not absorbing it.
. Get to know students whom you respect and can study with or contact to ask questions.
. Keep up with the workload and seek help when you need it.

Part 1

Develop good study habits.

In college, you’ll need to build on the study skills that you learned in high school. The demands of a college class are probably more rigorous than those you are used to.
Yu can succeed by knowing what to expect in college and how to handle it. Think of college as a full time job, in which you spend 40 hours a week on class, labs, study groups and doing homework. Be organized and using your time well are essential. Learn more about time management, and use the guidelines below to develop your study skills.
Decide when to study
Work out about how many hours you need to study every day. Then make a schedule.
·        Figure out what blocks of time you have available through-out the day, in the evenings and on weekends.
·       Consider what time of day you are most alert – there are mornings people and night owls – and try to schedule you’re studying accordingly.
. think about whether you do better studying for a few hours at a time or sitting down for a marathon sessions.

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw

Teens should never get too busy living to take time to renew themselves. When teens “sharpen the saw” they are keeping their personal self sharp so that they can better deal with life. It means regularly renewing and strengthening the four keys dimension of life-body, mind, and soul.

1.       Body. Eat wholesome foods, fruit, veggies, legumes avoid illegal drugs, smoking, alcohol, tobacco products, tattooing. Exercise regularly and effectively. Getting plenty of rest at night. Get to bed early at night and get up early each morning. “early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.”

2.       Mind. Think positively read. Study. Think. Analyze. Seek to read a good book each month. Then each week. Ask intelligent questions. Observe. Develop your mind through positive “ self- talk.”

Habit 6
Habit 6: Synergize
Synergy is achieved when two or more people work together to create something better than either could alone. Through this habit, teens learn it doesn’t have to be “Your way” or “My way” but rather a better way, a higher way. Synergy allows teens to value differences and better appreciate others. Synergy is the reward, the delicious fruit you’ll taste as you get better at living the other habits, especially at thinking Win-Win and seeking first to understand. Learning to synergize is like learning to form V formations with others instead of trying to fly life solo. You’ll be amazed at how much faster and farther you’ll go. Synergy doesn’t just happen. It’s a process. You have to get there. And the foundation of getting there is this: learn to celebrate difference.
A good band is a great example of synergy. It’s not just the drums or the guitar or the sax or the vocalist it’s all of them together that make up the sound. Each band member brings his or her strengths to the table to create something better than each could alone. No instruments are more important than another, just different.

5. seek first to understand and then to be understood
Will ensure your teen learns the most important communication skill there is: active listening. Why is this habit the key to communicate? Its because the wants to be respectd and valued for who they- a unque one –of-a-kind , never to be cloned inviduals. People won’t expose their soft middles unless they feel genuine love and understanding. Onece they feel it however they will tell you more than you may want to hear. People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. Listen with your eyes heart and ears.7 percent of communication is contained in the words we use. The rest comes tone body language (53 percent) and how we say words or the most people are eager to talk and rather than listen. We as much as we talk. We actually learn more while to learn.

Habit 4
4. Thing Win-Win
Teens can learn to foster the belief that it is possible to create an atmosphere of win-win in every relationship. This habit encourages the idea that in any given discussion or situation both parties can arrive at a mutually beneficial solution. Your teen will learn to celebrate the accomplishments of others instead of being threatened by them. Win-Win is a belief that everyone can win. It’s both nice and tough.
Win-win always creates more. Perhaps the most surprising benefit to thinking Win-Win is the good feeling it boring on. The true test of whether or not you are thinking win or one of the alternatives is how you feel. Judgment and fill you with negative feelings.
Win-Win will fill your heart with happy and serene thoughts. It will give you confidence. Even fill you with light. Think Win-Win or no deal.

Habits 2 : Begin with the end in Mind
If teens aren’t clear about where they want to end up in life, about their values goals and what they stand for they will wander waste time and be tossed to and fro by the opinions of others. Help your teen create a personal mission statement which will act as a road map and direct and guide his decision-making process.
Keep your eyes the prize.’ Determine your desire and don’t quit until you have realized the achievement of your prize. Then set another prize another goal or desire that you would really like to achieve. Begin with the achievement your prize in mind. Visualize and then realize. Start by having a target in mind know where you are going.
One prize or goal you definitely need to establish for yourself is the prize of an honorable graduation from high school-that you will receive your diploma Honestly and with integrity—that you earned it with perfect honestly.

 Habit 1
( by Sean Covey but modified )
Habit 1 : Be Proactive.
Being proactive is the key to unlocking the other habits. Help your teen take control and responsibility for her life. Proactive people understand that they are responsible for their own happiness or unhappiness. They don’t blame others for their own actions or feelings. Proactive people realize that the ball is in their court, that they are the captain of their own ship; that they are in control, control of their decisions, thought choices decisions goals actions and priorities. Proactive people are self-starters; they don’t wait to be told what to do they press forward with enthusiasm toward the achievement of their assignment their duties their responsibilities their obligations. Choosing to do what is right is a proactive decision. Obey the rules. Obey the law. Obay the coach. Obey the school policies. Obey your parents. Obey with exactness, and great things will come to you. Be proactive and take the initiative.

Work together. There are a number of ways that you can ensure you get the most out of your educational experience. First, participate fully. Engage regularly in the discussions and be willing to share your personal, professional experience. You can get to know your classmates through the dialogue that is created in a course environment-sometimes even better than in a face-to-face class. And the same goes for your instructor. Be sure to contact your professor-especially if you are having problems. He/she is still your instructor and will be there to guide and assist you as needed.

… take responsibility for his/her own learning Online learning can be a powerful, stimulating engaging experience for the student who can work and think independently. However since most-if not all-of the learning takes place on your own time you will not have the kind of direct supervision you would in a classroom. Online learning therefore requires a significant commitment from you. All education comes down to what you’re willing to invest in the experience – this is prarticularly true in the online environment. Commitment self-discipline and self-motivation are all key qualities to ensuring success in an online course!...
