"it's our duty to concentrate all our influence to make popular that which is sound and good, and (to make) unpopular that which is unsound (and not good) "
~Joseph Smith

this is true because most people in the united states and all over the world all they want is to just be popular, to fit in. And if people were to change and make what is popular the right thing, for example instead of doing drugs and instead playing a sport, then some people might actually follow your footsteps and change from doing drugs to playing a sport as well.

9. . . . . don’t cram for exams. Successful students know that divided periods of study are more effective than cram sessions, and they practice it.

if there is one thing that study skills specialist agree on, it’s that distributed study is better than massed, late-night, last-ditch efforts know as cramming. You’ll learn more, remember more, and earn a higher grade by studying in four, one hour-a-night sessions for Friday’s exam than studying for four hours straight on Thursday night. Short, concentrated preparatory efforts are more efficient and rewarding than wasteful, inattentive, last moment marathons. Yet, so many students fail to learn this lesson and end up repeating it over and over again until it becomes a wasteful habit. Not too clever huh.? When you cram, you are taking the shortcut, and shortcuts never produce any real worthwhile results. Also, when you take shortcuts, you feel rather rotten knowing that you could have done better but didn’t. Shortcuts cut you short. You can’t plant watermelon seeds and harvest fresh watermelons the next day . it takes time. Cramming for a test or project and expecting to make a high score the next day is like planting a watermelon seed and expecting to harvest and eat fresh watermelon the next. Plus cramming for a test or project doesn’t help you academically, so why even do it. Plan ahead, prepare ahead. Give yourself plenty of days and weeks to prepare for upcoming accountability opportunities.

"whats right isn't always popular. what's popular isn't always right."

Howard cosell

this is extremely true because jst because one thing is in , and everybody has it. it doesn't make it right.

and yea maybe something is right and nobody does it , but still doesnt mean you shouldnt do it.

example: hey where all going to the park and were going to smoke some glass, you want to come.? "

7. . . . . .  understand that actions affect learning. Successful students know their personal behavior affect their feelings and emotions which I'm turn can affect learning.

if you act in a certain way that normally produces particular feelings, you will begin to experience those feelings. Act like you’re bored, and you’ll become bored. Act like you’re disinterested, and you’ll become disinterested. So the next time you have trouble concentrating in the classroom, “act” like an interested person: lean forward, place you feet flat on the floor, maintain eye contact with the professor, nod occasionally, take notes, and ask questions. Not only will you benefit directly from your actions, your classmates and professor may also get more excited and enthusiastic.

8.  . . . talk about what they’re learning. Successful students get to know something well enough that they can put it into words. Talk about something, with friends or classmates, is not only good for checking whether or not you know something, its proven learning tool. Transferring ideas into words provides the most direct path for moving knowledge from short-term to long-term memory. You really don’t “know” material until you can put it into words. So, next time you study, don’t do it silently. Talk about notes, problems, readings, etc. with friends, recite to a chair, organize an oral study group, pretend you’re teaching your peers. “talk-learning” produces a whole host of memory traces that result in more learning.

5. Don’t sit in the back of the room. Successful students minimize classroom distractions that interfere with learning.

          Students want the best seat available of their entertainment dollars, but willingly seek the worst seat for their educational dollars. Students who sit in the back cannot possibly be their professor’s teammate (see no.4). why do they expose themselves to the temptations of inactive classroom experiences and distractions of all the people between them and their instructor? Of course, we know they choose the back of the classroom because they seek invisibility or anonymity, both of which are antithetical  to efficient and effective learning. If you are trying not to be part of the class, why, then, are you wasting your time? Push your hot. Buttons, is there something else you should be doing with your time?

6. . . . . take good notes. Successful students take notes that are understandable and organized, review them often.

                                     why put something into your notes you don’t understand? Ask the questions now that are necessary to make your notes meaningful at some later time. A short review of your notes while the material is still fresh on your mind helps you to learn more. The more you learn then, the less you’ll have to learn later and the less time it will take because you won’t have to include some deciphering time, also. The whole purpose of taking notes is to use them, and use them often. The more you use them, the more they improve.

"the time is always right to do what is right."

wrong. people dont always have to do right because sometimes when you think your doing the right , you may be dealing a heck load of bad on others. it could go either way so you should never only depend on one.

          3. ….ask questions. Successful students ask questions to provide the quickest route between ignorance and knowledge. In addition to securing knowledge you seek, asking questions has at least two other extremely important benefits. The process helps you pay attention to your professor and helps your professor pay attention to you! Think about it. If you want something, go after it. Get the answer now, or fail a question later. There are no foolish questions, only foolish silence. It’s your choice.

            4. …learn that a student and a professor make a team. Most instructors want exactly what you want: they would like for you to learn the material in their respective classes and earn a good grade.

        

Successful students reflect well on the efforts of any teacher; if you have learned your material, the instructor takes some justifiable pride in teaching. Join forces with your instructor, they are not an enemy, and you share the same interests, the same goals-in short, and your teammates. Get to know your professor. You’re the most valuable player on the same team. Your jobs are to work together for your mutual success. Neither wishes to chalk up a losing season. Be a team player.
