Part 13

If 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 medication 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 peruse 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 by 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 so well, and an ability to recover and learn from setback. 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.

·        They know how to handle groups.

·        Finally, they work with passion.  

Other chief habit is that of asking questions. We have to establish hypothesis and set concrete, realistic goals. After reading any text we have to ask several different questions related to its content, in order to verify if we have completely understood the text. It’s also important to try to relate such text and others area of our knowledge. Again, linking ideas and concepts is a habit of highly successful students. So, link

·        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 process is a skill that will last for the whole life.

·        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.

·        They look for the required information in several channels (books, journals, newspapers, experts, internet, and so on.)

Part7
·         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 of equal importance. Even if we have renounced the world, gone far 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:

the importance of taking responsility



“The importance of taking personal responsibility”
 Having responsibility is one of the most important traits for a person to have. If you are not responsible nobody will ever trust you with things of theirs. So if you ever want to borrow anyone’s stuff no matter who they are you have to be responsible because before anyone actually lets you borrow there stuff they will first check to see if you are responsible enough to be able to take care of their stuff because they waste their own money on their thing they don’t want someone to just come along and lose or break there things that they worked hard to get or worked hard to earn money for. Anyone can be responsible as long as they are always choosing the right no matter how hard it is to choose the right. Being responsible is part of choosing the right because if you are being responsible you are choosing the right. You can never be to responsible in life because the slightest slip can make you lose your stuff and never get your things back. I personally try to always be responsible with my things that I earn by working for the money or getting good grades. I am even more responsible with other people’s stuff especially because I didn’t work for and I didn’t buy it so I don’t want to ruin someone else s things and make them regret they lend me something. So I try my best to be responsible.
