Being organized and using your time well are essential. Learn more about time management, and use the guidelines below to develop your study skills.

Habit 7

Part 2

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw

      3) Heart: Always do what is right so your heart, your conscience, will feel peaceful. When you do wrong, your conscience will prick you and create regretful sensation within your heart. When you do what you honestly feel, you won’t have any regrets. Your heart is your internal compass- it gives you direction and discernment. Just like a magnetic compass gives direction, even truth north, your personal compass, your heart, will point you in the true north, the exact directions and path you need to trod.

4) Soul: Study scriptures and other sacred literature daily. In other words, feed your spirit because your physical body needs temporal food to survive. Pondering, meditation, and reflecting are excellent Soul-Sharpening activities. Try writing your thoughts, feelings, aspirations, concerns, and decisions in a diary or a journal. Writing helps you focus and make good decisions.

Get into the habit of daily improving your body (physical fitness), your mind, your heart, and your soul.

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 difference 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 through 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 differences.

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 instrument is more important than another, just different.

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

Habit 1

(By Sean Covey but modified)

Habit 1: Be Proactive.

Being proactive is the key to unlocking the other habits. Help your tee 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 for their own ship; that they are in control, control of their decisions, thoughts, 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. Obey 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.

"it's not where you live but how you live that counts. it's not where you play but how you play that counts"

~Mr.Haymore
 this is true because life always depends the way you live it. you can start out in a poor home, and after a few years of hard work and school, end up a owner of your own business or even higher. you can start out at the top with rich parents and stuff. but if you dont try enough in life your not going nowhere no matter the financial income of your parents because they wont always be their for you.

A successful student…

…takes responsibility for his/her own learning

Online learning can be 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 particularly true in the online environment. Commitment, self-discipline and self- motivation are all key qualities to ensuring success in an online course!

…is comfortable and confident with written communication

 Reading and writing are the basis of most online courses, so it’s critical that you feel comfortable with this form of communication. While some courses contain modules that include videos or other activities,

activities, all of them require significant amounts of reading. And nearly all of your communication with your classmates and your instructor will be in writing. If these are weak areas for you, you will want to address those issues prior to enrolling or while enrolled in an online course. The PSU Writing Center is available to assist you.

…is willing to be a member of an online community.

"goodness is the only investment that never fails."
- Henry David Thoreau

Thats not true. In my opinion, goodness isn't always the best for everybody. We need some bad because if its all good. Life wouldn't be life. It would just be a phase, as simple as the life of a butterfly. And I don't know about other people, but in my life I want excitement, mistakes, randomness, because if their wasn't bad their would be good. their will just be life and life without living is worthless. My opinion.

Successful students
part 10

10. Successful students are good time managers. Successful students do not procrastinate. They have learned that time control is life control and have consciously chosen to be in control of their life.

An element truth: you will either control time or be controlled by it! Its your choice: you can lead or be led, establish control or relinquish control, steer your own course or follow others. Failure to take control of their own time is probably no.1 study skills problem for college students. It ultimately causes many students to become non-students! Procrastinators are good excuse-makers. Don’t make academics harder on yourself than it has to be. Stop procrastinating. And don’t wait until tomorrow to do it!
