Time Management

8 of 10

Master the moments and you may be real pro when it comes to juggling the many demands on your time-classes, homework and activities – with some family help. Colleges give you an even bigger chance to sharpen your time management skills by doing it all on your own. And that’s a good thing since most jobs require multitasking. You might need to take care of current clients while attracting new ones, respond to e-mail while working on a major presentation, or order tomorrow’s produces while planning next week’s menu.

Someone said, “Wherever you are, be there.” Focus on the present moments and give it all your attention. Don’t let your mind drift and wonder here and their when you need to be thinking and concentrating on the moments, so make the most of it while it NOW. Master the present and you will master the future. Work smart by mastering the present moments.

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.

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-one with others. You’ll get far better results if you can speak persuasively, smoothly and intelligently

During the test Read the directions

It’s important that you follow the instructions exactly. For example, some questions may have more than one correct answer.

Answer each question first.

Doing this can jog your memory about useful facts. You may also come across information that can help you with other questions.

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.

Ask questions

If a question isn't clear, talk to your teacher. If that’s not possible, explain your answer in the margin.

Student Success Statement

“The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character.”

-Margate Chase Smith

Smith is completely correct when she says this. The right thing is not always honored and is the popular thing to do. However that does not mean that people should give up on doing what is right. When you see something wrong you need to stand up and say something because when you stand up for what is right you show that you have good character and that takes you places. If you missed an assignment you should tell the teacher that you missed it and that character of honesty and great morals will end up helping you.

“When an archer misses the mark, he turns and looks for the fault within himself. Failure to hit the bulls eye is never the fault of the target. To improve your aim, improve yourself.”

-Gilbert Arland

This is extremely true with everything it is up to you. When a challenge comes upon you it is you that needs to overcome it. In life the only person that can be at fault for your actions is yourself. My coach told us yesterday before practice ended how state championship is next week and how only we can take  responsibility for what happens next is each and every one of us.
