“Take care of yourself and everything else will fall into place.”

-Coach David Diamont

By taking care of yourself you will portray a good image, which is very important, portraying a good image shows that you respect yourself and are a clean person. Respecting yourself is important because often if a person does not respect themselves they will not respect others. Taking care of yourself is also important because you need to respect your body and realize that it needs maintenance every now and then whether it be a haircut or a decent amount of exercise, healthy habits will lead to a healthy lifestyle, a healthy lifestyle means a good life.

Acquiring the Habits of Highly Successful Students

Part 13

 

If you feel you do not naturally have all those characteristics, then do not despair. Each of them can be accomplished by your own application. You can use meditation and visualization techniques to initiate your vision, and they can certainly be learned both for that purpose and for each step you take to reach your goals. Simply visualize your desired goals, that of being a star student, a champion of doing what is right, and see yourself working hard to become outstanding, and your dreams and vision will materialize as you pursue these objectives. Setting goals and objectives can be a personal or business technique that can be learnt. You can develop inner strength to succeed if you apply yourself to doing just that; that will enable you to recover from setbacks more easily.

Acquiring the Habits of Highly Successful Students

                                                        Part 12

What is important to you is that you, as you start to reach milestones in your ambitions, you appreciate your own achievements. It is a boost, of course, if others appreciate what you have done too, but appreciating yourself will strengthen your self-belief, and reinforce your determination to succeed. Some of the key characteristics you will find in those who are successful are perseverance, prepared to research, plan and work hard, practice a lot even when things do not seem to be going well and an ability to recover and learning from setbacks. At the outset of whatever it is you are trying to succeed in, a strong vision of your future, planning, and setting yourself achievable targets can all play an important role.

“Be Wise- Never Use Drugs or Alcohol”

Drugs and alcohol are very dangerous and harmful substances needless to say, therefore everyone should avoid them. If you didn’t choose the right and didn’t avoid them it would be wise and the best for your well-being to stop using the substances.

Drugs and Alcohol are known to..

Do you want to see yourself in a state where you cannot use logic or reasoning to decide what you want to do?

How can Drugs harm you?

A drug is a mind altering substance which changes the way the human body works. Therefore when you are under the influence of a substance you are no longer in your right mind, this leads to you making irresponsible decisions which will most likely harm you and thus leading to you harming those around you.

Drugs will harm you and those around you in various ways.

Ø Emotionally

Drugs are known to separate families thus leading to afflicted children feeling powerless in the situation; this can lead to depression which will cause a cycle no one wants to fall into.

Ø Physically

Drugs are known to physically harm the person who consumers them and often those around him too, consumers of drugs are usually under a different state of mind because of the damage the drugs do to the human body that it can lead to the individual being violent and potentially harming himself and/or those around him.

Ø Financially

Drugs are not free, consumers of drugs are often found stealing objects with little to no value because that’s how financially desperate they’ve become for the need of the drug. Drug addicts will blow all the money they have on a drug which will do them no good.

It won’t be a problem if you never start, don’t drink or use drugs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Don’t fall into an endless cycle of misery, stay away from drugs and alcohol.

Whether studying or in general life, planning is an imperative skill. Here, we must strictly set the hours for studying, and should promote regularity in doing so. Don’t put off your studies to the last moment (just before the test), because in that moment you will be feeling stress and pressure, and both factors will prove disturbing for your learning; that’s the high price of procrastination. During the exam, it’s important to forget about panic and stress. And if you are planning for your thesis, you may find this post useful. Other planning tip I frequently give is that, when you are assigned a homework, try to solve it as quickly as possible, several days before the required date, but don’t try to complete it perfectly and don’t submit it immediately. I always recommend doing homework early, but deliver it at the last possible day.
