REFLECTION:I think this quote means while you know what you what to do in the future you can achieve anything. always do your best and never stop trying. 

attention to detail 7 of 10

When you double-check your calculations for a math problem or cite sources carefully in a research paper, you're paying close attention to detail. that skill comes in handy in any workplace, whether you maintain a database, keep a log of the hours you spend with clients or write e-mails.
john wooden, UCLA's former great basketball coach who lead his teams 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 pursuit. he even paid attention to how his players would lace up and tie their shoe strings if they didn't tie them correctly, he would teach them how.
details may be small things, but from small things 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 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 your 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-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, and in the career world is taking the initiative.

Problem- solving skills. 4 of 10

Problem- solving skills.

4 of 10

Problem solving goes far beyond your math textbook. Every assignment is an opportunity to weight 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; therefore, are ready when then 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 are cheerful and optimistic, are those who look 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 you work. All members of the team are edified together, a type of edification you can’t obtain by working alone.

 “The man who has no imagination has no wings.”

-Muhammad Ali  

Reflection: I think this quote means to always think positive and imagine you giving people good advises.  If you don’t try you won’t get anywhere so you have to think of what could happen to you if you do try. Imagine yourself graduating from high school and getting a good job. If people didn't have imagination they would think about what could happen to them and they wouldn't try to even go far because they didn't imagine what would happen.

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 applicants, who may have to give presentations to clients or represent their organization in the field. It’s never too soon to practice good eye contact and other public speaking techniques.

http://www.newswiretoday.com/news/17334/

According to the book of list, 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 experiencing a dramatic fear of it,’’ said Dr. Michael telch of the laboratory for the study of anxiety disorders (LSAD) in the department 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 derelicts. persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. the slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."

-Calvin Coolidge, 30th president of the united states 

REFLECTION: always do the right thing whatever you go. never choose the wrong you have to persist in order to do what is right in the world. 

Writing skills 1 of 10

Writing skills

1 of 10

Communication is at the top of the list of skills that employers look for. And communication in the workplace often means writing.

Health professionals keep patient charts, researchers depend on the money they collect by writing grant applications, software engineers write technical specifications, and nearly everyone writes e-mail to people inside and outside their organization. And before you even get the chance to interview for a job, you’ll need to present yourself in cover letters and resumes.

So, by taking writing serious and doing your best on every research paper, every lab report you write, every new post you write in your blog site, and every writing activity you engage in, you’re preparing yourself for a good career.

more tips

finally, look beyond the article for  ore clues.

• read the website's home page and the about us page. look for a mission statement to learn more about the site, it's purpose and the organization sponsoring it.
• if there is an author listed, look for a biography that discusses the author's education, profession and other relevant background. there is no bio on the site, search for 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 sit’s and responsibilities based on your own analysis of the site on the information it contains. Here are some ways to do this: 

•      Look for facts 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.

• what are the author's qualifications for writing on the subject?
• has the article  passed through an editorial process designed to ensure quality and accuracy?

Using the web wisely

Using the web wisely

Thanks to the web, information is easy to find. However it is also easy to post something on line. Anyone can do it.

You've probably used an internet to do research for a paper, to help you decide which products to buy, or to form an option about current events. Looking up information in line is the fast and convenient. But when you do online research, It’s important to find sites you can trust. Many websites clam to have the facts, but are full of errors. Others present information in a biased way – they only give one side of an argument. How can you tell a reliable source from an unreliable source? Also, it is critical that you post online only that which is descent and appropriate, never anything pornographic, vulgar, indecent, out of taste, untruthful, or obscene. Post those things that will make a good name for you and your organization, that will promote goodwill and be of benefit to the world.

Question

As you survey the text, ask a question for each section. Ask what, why,
how, when, who and where questions as they relate to the content. Here’s
how you can create questions:

·       Turn the title, headings or subheadings into questions.

·       Rewrite the question at the end of the chapter or after each
subheading in your own words.

Write down your questions. Questions help you pay attention, understand
the text better and recall the information more easily later on.

read one section of the chapter at a time, actively looking for an answer to your question for that section. pay attention to bold and italicized text that authors use to make important points.

be sure to review everything in the section, including tables,graphs and illustrations-these features can communicate an idea more powerfully than written text.
