Ø      They concentrate on the process of solving the task and understanding the involved ideas. Of course we are interested in getting good results, but the process is more important. A result is a very brief moment of life, while learning to develop processes is a skill that will last for the whole life.

Ø      They interpret and analyze errors as a way of increasing their learning, i.e., they try to learn from their mistakes. This way, they see errors and failures as opportunities.

Ø      They look for the required information in several channels (books, journals, newspaper, experts, Internet, and so on.)

Ø      They consult experts and teacher frequently. This action provides a new perspective about the studied topics.

Ø   Everyone wants to be successful in life, but where are the keys to success? Do we have to go out and search for those keys, or do we have those potentials already within ourselves? When we begin to examine life, we can see that it is divided into two aspects - – life within and life without; internal life and external life – and we can see that these aspects are equal importance. Even if we have renounced the world, gone for away from civilization, and live in the wilderness doing nothing but meditation, we cannot ignore external life. We still have to see that we eat, do our ablutions, and perform our practices on time. So life in the external world is as important as life in the internal world.

If you prefer to play videogames, then remember that making any game requires to prepare a detailed script including history, characters, goals and relations. Therefore, you could start writing down the script for your “dream” game. On the other side, you could imagine how the novel you are reading could be transformed into a videogame (start out by thinking which gaming genre fits the novel better: role-playing, adventure, action, and so on.) The basic idea is to find match points and links between our affections and our chores. And such links there always exist. Remember, to link ideas and concepts is the most important habit for successful students.

 

Successful students also exhibit other particular traits we should internalize:

Ø    They are always trying to discover better approaches in order to accomplish their tasks (adequate studying place, availability of resources, etc.) You may find my post on Pristine Home with Feng Shui useful for improving environment.

2- Success is about achieving goals, and therefore is a relative notion. Highly successful students are those which set realistic goals, and attain them with the proper investment of resources. Thus, not necessarily the student with the best grades is the most successful learner. Now, we have stated what the successful student is like. Good.

   2-   If you have negative entries in your list of driving forces, it’s time to improve things quite a bit. First, identify other topics that you indeed like a lot, not necessarily related to studying. Perhaps you like pets, to cook or to play videogames. Now, try to establish associations or links between these favorite activities of yours and the subject of study that you dislike. For example, let’s assume that you dislike Literature (you perhaps think it’s an utterly boredom) but love your humongous pit-bull “Casino Joe”. Then you could start thinking how your dog would fit as a character into that novel you have to analyze: what its role would be and how he would interact with other characters in the novel.

Student Success Statement

“A CTR champion is a person who makes    a great human out of himself.”

-Noemi Trigueros

Reflection:

What I think about this quote of Noemi is that if you choose the right you will be a great person and not the one who always chooses the wrong and gets in trouble. Choose the right you will be a successful person and your family and people around you will be happy and proud of you on what you have done. If you choose the wrong then you are giving a hard time to your family and other people.

The body is related to the breath, and the breath is related to the mind. The body, breath, senses, and mind all function together as a unit. So life virtually means relationship, and thus the art of living and being requires an understanding of one’s relationship to the external world and the relationships within oneself.

 All human being have inner potentials, but             many people are not aware of those potentials and do not know how to use them to have a successful life. Those who are happy internally can never be happy externally; those who are not happy within themselves can never make other happy. Those who do not love themselves can never love others.
