“Truth is the only safe ground to stand upon.”

-Elizabeth Cady Stanton

What I think that this statement means is that there is always the truth and there is always the lies. Yet all depend on the way you are and how you decide to do things. Yet you may be a failure but then you know that you are saying the truth instead of the lies that you know it is not you. 

Attention to 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

Very few students enjoy taking test. 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 situation. You could someday find yourself meeting tight deadlines, speaking with irate customers, welding a scalpel or handing dangerous chemicals.

The best way to curtail pressure to even eliminate it is to prepare. Apply 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 coolness under pressure is sure to abound.

“Start with what is right rather than what is acceptable.”

What I think this statement means is that you got to be an example and see what is right then move on to what you can accept. Just don’t move on right away. You have to be part of achieving. 

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 out together your own interpretation of a piece if literature, you take initiative. And future employers’ can-do professionals who come up with new ideas and chart their own course through projects, employees who are self-relentless. Self-relentless people are self-starters who don’t procrastinate on getting the job done. They know what is required and do it. They don’t wait to be told many times. Success in high school, college, and in the career world is taking the initiative.

Problem-Solving 4 of 10

Problem-solving skill

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 its fixing a bug in a computer program or overcoming budget shortfalls. Problem solving situations occur extensively and frequently; therefore, be ready when then come.

When problem or challenges occur, some people look at them any negative experience, as a crisis. These are the people who live day by day with gloom and negativism in their attitudes. But the really successful people, those who cheerful and optimistic, are those who look at problems as opportunities, opportunities to learn, grow, expand their horizon , and make new discoveries. They look on the bright side of things and live happy lives.

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 Lists, the fear of public speaking ranks number one in the minds of the majority 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 problem of the human race.”

-Calvin Coolidge, 30^th president of the United States

What I think that this statement means is that nothing is able to accomplish what you want that you need as long as you succeed.  

  

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 patents charts, researchers depend on the money they collect by writing grant applications, software engineers write technical specification, and nearly every one 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 post you write on your blog site, and every writing activity you engage in, you’re preparing yourself for a good career.

Answer every question

Unless there is a penalty for wrong answers, try to answer every question, you may be able to get partial credit for those you begin but don’t complete correctly.

More Tips

Finally, look beyond the article for more clues.

·       Read the website’s home page and the About Us page. Look for a mission statement to learn more about the site, its 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. If 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.

Part 1

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 source that the author acknowledges. Scholarly writing, whether in print or on line, should include a bibliography.

Look at the site’s address. What follows the dot?

·       Dot-com is not only for business: anyone can use it. Dot-coms include well-known and respected companies, but also private individuals.

·       Dot-org usually indicates a not-for-profit organization. Many dot-orgs present unbiased information, but others have political agendas, focus on debatable issues 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 government is a good source of statistics, and its 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 its 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 server. Professors sometimes put student course work up on the Web, but that doesn’t mean they’re vouching for the information accuracy.

·       What are the author’s qualifications for writing on the subjects?

·       Has the article passed through an editorial process designed to ensure quality and accuracy?

·       What is the website’s purpose? Look for motives – like selling products or winning votes – that could result in biased or incomplete information.

It’s on line, but it’s on target?

Part 1

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 product 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.
