Attention Detail 7 of 10


Attention Detail

7 of 10

When you double check your calculations for math problems or cite source carefully in a research paper, you’re paying close attention to detail. That skill comes in handy in any work place, whether you’re maintaining a database, keep a log of the hours you spend with clients or write email.

          John wooden, UCLA’s former great basketball coach who led his team to ten consecutive national championships, was asked what he 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 in any worthwhile purist.  He even paid attention to how his player would lace up and tie their shoe strings. If they didn’t tie them correctly, he would teach them how.

          Detail may be small things, but form small things to details come great things; therefore, pay attention to details and you will experience substantial progress in your overall educational attainment.

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 the 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 you 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.

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.

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 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; are ready when they 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 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.

teamwork skills 3 of 10

Teamwork skills
3 of 10
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 your opinions, listening and responding to others, and reaching compromises. By the time you leave college, you can be an expert in this important workplace skill.
Together
Everyone
Achieves
More
Individually you can achieve so much, but when you work with others for a common cause, the same objectives, you can accomplish a tremendous amount more. You synergize your talents, knowledge, and skills with those whom work. All members of the team are edified together, a type of edification you can’t obtain by working alone.

speaking skills 2 of 10


Speaking skills
2 of 10
When you’re assigned a class presentation, think twice before dismissing it as an unimportant part of your education. Employers look for speaking skills in job applications, which may have to give presentations to clients or represents their organizations in the field. It’s never too soon to practice good eye contact and other public speaking techniques.
According to the book of lists, 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 wiener noted author and public speaker wants to help people overcome that fear. “The biggest fear is public speaking. With 15 percent of American expecting a dramatic fear of it.” Said dr.michael Telch of the laboratory for the study of anxiety disorders (LSAD) in the departments of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. “People have had to turn down jobs, and certainly students have dropped classes because 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. Motivating co-workers or just communicating one-on-one with others, you’ll get far better results if you can speak persuasively, smoothly and intelligently.

"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 dereclits. persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. the slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race." 
you can have talent but if you don't have persistence  your just not smart. you can be a genius but if you don't have persistence your not smart at all.

Exam day: survival tips test—taking part 2]
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 your memory about useful facts. You may also come across information that can help you with other questions. 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.

MORE TIPS

FINALLY, LOOK BEYOND THE ARTICLE FOR MORE CLUES.

·       READ THE WEBSITE HOME PAGE AND THE ALL ABOUT US PAGE. LOOK FOR A MISSION STATEMENT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE SITE, ITS PURPOSE AND THE ORGANIZATION SPONSORING IT.

·       IF THERE IS ANOTHER LISTED, LOOK FOR A BIOGRAPHY THAT DISCUSSES THE AUTHORS EDUCATION, PROFESSION AND OTHER RELEVANT BACKGROUNDS. IF THERE IS NO BIO ON THE SITE, SEARCH FOR THE 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.

·       AVOID SITES THAT ARE PORNOGRAPHIC, VULGAR, INAPPROPRIATE, BELOW PAR, SUGGESTIVE, AND FALSIFYING.

Read between the lines
Make a judgment about the sites reliability based on your own analysis of the site and the information it contains. Here are some ways to do this:
·     Look for facts for 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 sources that the author acknowledges, scholarly writing, whether in print or online, should include a bibliography.

Dot-what?
Look at the site’s address. What follows the dot?
·      DOT-COM IS NOT ONLY FOR BUSSINESS, ANYONE CAN USE IT. DOT-COMS INCLUDE WELL KNOWN AND RESPECTED COMPANIES, BUT ALSO PRIVATE INDIDVIDUALS.
·      DOT-ORG USALLY INDICATES A NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION. MANY DOT-ORGS PRESENT UNBAISED INFORMATION, BUT OTHERS HAVE POLITICAL AGENDAS, FOCUS ON DEBATABLE ISSUSES 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 GOVERENMENT IS A GOOD SOURCE OF STATISTICS, AND IT’S 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 IT’S 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 SEVER. PROFESSORS SOMETIMES PUT STUDENT COURSE WORK UP ON THE WEB, BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN THEY’RE VOUCHING FOT THE INFORMATION’S ACCURACY.
