“Success is dependent on effort.” – Sophocles, Greek dramatist

Your success will always depend in how much effort you put on, and in how bad you want to succeed, because if you don’t want you won’t put effort in that goal. More effort more success, Less effort less success.

Choose where to study

Where you should study depends on two factors: the environment in which you are best able to concentrate and the type 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 working on a 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.

Reviewing helps you reinforce what you’ve learned, so you need lees time to study before a test. You’ll also be ready if you get called on in class or have to take pop quiz.

Tip 6. Get a Good Night’s Sleep.

Your brain needs rest to perform at its peak. Lack of sleep makes the day seem longer and your tasks seem more difficult.

Tips for high school students to prepare for college

1.        Be prepared to make a lot of reading in college.

2.      Learn time management: use a calendar and plan how to use your time. Learn to manage your time while still in high school, keep a calendar of all exams and paper due dates.

3.    One of the biggest transitions between high school and college is development of time management skills- students must learn to balance school and social life.

4.    Be prepared to discipline yourself, as the temptation to slack could be great. If you miss 4-5 classes in a semester, you may not make it through the semester successfully.

5.     Being sick affects your ability to be student- and remember that community living contributes to the cold/flu season.

6.     Learn to read- summarize and outline reading.

8.     Learn to study

9.     Start the college and scholarship search as early as possible

10.                        Take as many science, math, English, and foreign language courses as you can; the build a foundation for college.

11.                        Participate a volunteer and community service programs. It helps with scholarships!

12.                        Take advantage of the advanced classes offered in high school

13.                        Think about what characteristics in a university are of most importance to you (climate, environment, degrees, offered, size, location, etc.)

Advice from university of Portland students

1.   “I think the most important thing to let high school student know is not to overlook anything. When I was in high school I often asked myself, “Why do I need to know this?” then if I didn't think it was pertinent, I wouldn't bother to study it. But in college, all those seemingly unneeded tools come together in the real life(e.g.: finding an intersection of those two lines in algebra is later important in cost/revenue calculation). In the way of classes, learning to read and write well is very important. The focus should be on the format and clarifying ideas in writing, and being able to pick out the important parts of writing (the testable facts). Volunteering and joining clubs are important to get into the college of your choice.”

2.   “I’d advise the students to take as much math as they can in high school and to take as many classes as they can in the field that they’re interested in.

When you do what you honestly feel, you won’t have any regrets. Your heart is your internal compass-it gives you direction, even true north, your personal compass, your heart, will point you in the true north, the exact directions and paths you need to trod.

4. Soul: study scriptures and other scared literature daily. In other words, feed your spirit because your spirit needs spiritual food just like your physical body needs temporal food to survive. Pondering, meditating, and reflecting are excellent soul-sharpening activities. Try writing your thoughts, feelings, aspirations, concerns, and decisions in a dairy 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 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 key dimensions of life-body, mind, heart, and soul

1)   Body. Eat wholesome foods, fruits, vegetables, legumes. Avoid illegal drugs, smoking, alcohol, tobacco products, tattooing. Exercise regularly and effectively. Get 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: Synergize

Synergize is achieve 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 will taste as you get better at living the others habits, specially and 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, its 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.

Habit 5: seek first to understand, and then to be understood

Because most people don’t listen very well, one of the great frustration s in life is that many don’t feel understood. This habit will ensure your teen learns the most important communication skill there is: active listening.

Why is this habit the key to communication? It’s because the deepest need of the human heart is to be understood. Everyone want to be respected and valued for who they are- a unique, one-of-a-kind, never-to-be-cloned individual. People won’t expose their soft middles unless they feel genuine love and understanding. Once 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 from body language (53 percent) and how we say words, or the tone and feeling reflected in our voice (40 percent). Most people are eager to talk and had rather talk than listen. We have one mouth and two ears. This means we should listen twice as much we talk. We actually learn more while listening rather than when we talk. Learn to listen and listen to learn.

Listen, really listen, for understanding.

Seek first to understand then to be understood-LISTEN.

Habit 4

Habit 4 think win-win

Teens can learn to foster the belief that is it 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 all at once. I won’t step on you, but I won’t be your doormat either. You care about other people and you want them to succeed, but you can also care about yourself, and you want to succeed as well win. Win is abundant, it is the brief that others plenty of succeed to go around. It is no either you or me. It’s both of us. It’s not a matter of who gets the biggest piece of the pie. There’s more than enough food for everyone. It’s an all you can eat buffet. Win-Win always creates more. Perhaps the more surprising benefit of thinking, Win-Win is the good feeling it brings on. The true test of whether or not you are thinking Win-Win or one of the alternatives is cloud your judgment and fill you with negative feelings.

Win-Win will fill your hearth with happy and serene thoughts. It will give you confidence. Even fill you with light. Think Win-Win or no deal.

Habit 3: put first things first

Habit three is about Will and Will Not power. This habit helps teens prioritize and manage their time so that they focus on and complete the most important things in their lives. Putting first things first also means learning to overcome fears and being strong during difficult times. It’s living life according to what matters most. Putting first things first deals with things that are:

Important or not important, urgent or not urgent. Let’s look at the four quadrants of time management.

Quadrant 1: things that are important and urgent.

Quadrant 2: things that are important but not urgent

Quadrant 3: thing that are not important but urgent

Quadrant 4: things that are not important and not urgent

1.       Important and urgent	2.       Important but not urgent
3.       Not important but urgent	4.       Important but not urgent

 

Quadrant 2 is the ideal place to spend our time, doing things that are important but not urgent. Here’s where priorities come into play. The results for living quadrant 2 are:

1.    Control of your life

2.    Balance

3.    High performance

So, in what quadrant are you spending most of your time? The key is to shift as much time as possible into quadrant 2 and this is accomplished by planning. Spend more time planning and incorporating the most important things first, things that matter most. Keep your eyes on the prize and reach for it.
