"Honesty is the cornerstone of character. Teh honest man or woman seeks not merely to avoid criminal or illegal acts, but to be scrupulously fair, upright, fearless, in both action and expression. Honesty pays dividends both in dollars and in peace of mind."
B.C Forbes
I think that this means that as long as you are honest it will pay off. Not only wil it pay of money wise ( like in your work) but also within yourself. You will feel good about being honest. There will be no need to think about the bad decisions you have made. Honesty will only bring great things to your life.

Year End Reflection

A. What I accomplished this year was, getting straight A's for all of my classes. I also learn many new things in Math class and New Media. In New Media I learn how to use a Prize and how to use the excel spread sheet.
B. I am proud of having helped set up the academic challenge. I am proud of this because it was a fun thing to do for the school.
C.I learn that I can work pretty okay under pressure. I learn that I can get things done better if I give myself time.
D. One of the problems I had this year was the fact that we had to changed teachers. I was used to being thought by Mr. Garcia. I found the whole change of classes a bad idea because, now I had to get used to a new teacher, and that wasted time. Because of this I think we didn't learn as well as we could have. But I manage to learn and this thought me that I need to get used to different ways in which teachers teach.
E. One positive message I learn this year was that even if people put you down and tell you that you cant achieve something, that doesn't mean they are always right. You can achieve whatever you want with perseverance.

“Stop worrying about whether you’re going to win or lose and focus your full attention on what’s happening right this moment.”

Phil Jackson
11 World Championships

Reflection I think that what this means is that instead of thinking whether you will do well in something or not you should focus on the thing that you are doing first. Then after you are done you could worry about if you did good or not. Worrying about these kind of things will only make what you are doing more difficult.

Time Management

Time Management
8 of 10

Master the moments and you may be a real pro when it comes to juggling the many demands on your time – classes, homework and activities – with some family help. College gives 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 if current clients while attracting new ones respond to e-mails while working on a major presentation, or order tomorrow’s produce while planning next week’s menu.
Someone said, “Wherever you are, be there.” Focus on the present moment and give it all your attention …

"Truth is the only safe ground to stand upon."
Elizabeth Cany Stanton

If you say the truth you wont ever have to think about lies. Saying the truth will always bring you good things, and you wont be constantly trying to cover up your lies.

Attention to Detail

Attention to Detail

7 of 10

When you don’t double-check your calculations for a math problem or cite sources carefully in a research paper, you’re paying close attention to detail. That skill comes in handy in any work place, whether you maintain a database, keep a log of the hours you spend with clients or write e-mails.

John Wooden, UCLA’s former great basketball coach who lead his team to ten consecutive national championships, was asked what he attributed his success to. Among a number, he mentioned that paying attention to details was one of the most important qualities for successful coaching and for high achievement in any worthwhile pursuit. He even paid attention to how his players would lace up and tie their shoe strings. If they didn’t tie them correctly, he would teach them how.
Details may be small things, but from small things come great things; therefore, pay attention to details and you will experience substantial progress in your overall educational attainment.

“Everyone is the architect of their own learning”

Claudius

Reflection: I think this quote is true. No one can make you learn or not learn. You take the decision of you want to learn or not. If you do not want to learn that will construct what things will come after that. Most of the things will be not so good. In the other hand if you want to learn that construct a good road to a great future.

Cool under Pressure

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 situations. You could someday find yourself meeting tight deadlines, speaking with irate customers, wielding a scalpel or handling dangerous chemicals.
The best way to curtail pressure and to even eliminate it is to prepare. Applying 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 your coolness under pressure is sure to abound.

Student Success Statement

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

Peter F. Drucker

Reflection; I think that this means that one should always think about what the right thing to do is rather than what is acceptable. For example lying might be acceptable by your friends but it’s not the right thing to do. Doing what is right will only lead to good things. While doing what is acceptable might not lead to anything good.  

Initiative

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

Problem Solving Skills 4 0f 10

Problem Solving Skills

4 0f 10

Problem solving goes far beyond your math textbook. Every assignment is an opportunity to weight al possible solutions carefully and choose the one you think is best. As a working professional, you’ll be solving problems regularly, whether it’s fixing a bug in the computer program or overcoming budget shortfalls. Problem solving situations occur extensively and frequently; therefore, be ready when then come.

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

“The man who has no

Imagination has no wings”

~Muhammad Ali

Reflection: If you do not imagine what you want in your life then you have no hopes. If you do not imagine what you want you have no wings you have no hopes into being someone. For example if you do not imagine what you want to be in your future, you have no wings because you are not imagining what you want. 

Speaking Skills 2-10

Speaking Skills
2-10

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 List, the fear of public speaking ranks number one in minds of the majority of people. Far above the fear of death and disease, comes the fear of standing in front of a crowd. Joel Weiner 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 problems of the human
race."
-Calvin Coolidge, 30th president of the united states
Reflection: Only persistence and determination will take you places. It does not matter how smart you are, if you don't persist into achieving something the nothing will get done. You might be very smart but you do not persist into doing what is expected of you or what is the best you can do  then nothing will get done.

Communications is at the top of the list of skills that employers look for. And communication in the work place often means writing.
Health professionals keep patient charts, researchers depend on the money they collect by writing grant applications, software engineers write technical specifications, and nearly everyone writes e-mails 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 new post you write in your blog site, and every writing activity you engage in your preparing yourself for a good career.

"To see what is right and not to do it it is want of courage."
Confucius
Reflection: What this means is that if you know the right thing to do but do not do it that makes you more of a coward. Doing what is right should always be your priority. For example if there is a problem and you need to tell the truth you say the truth. You would be a coward if you choose not to say the truth you are not willing to accept the consequences good or bad and that is being a coward.

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 easy questions 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 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 the teacher. If that’s not possible, explain your answer in the margin.

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.

I think that what this quote means is that having a gold metal does not mean you have done something great, or maybe you have but you have not gain it with your own hard work. For example in school the gold metal would be the grade you receive in your class. If you do what is asked of you in that class, put hard work into it, then you will receive an A and it was all because you worked hard for it.

Read Between the Lines

Make a judgment about the site and 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 baked 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 online, should include a bibliography.

                  Dot-com is not only for business; anyone can use it. Dot-com 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 debate 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 researched 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.

·         Who wrote the Web page? If you can’t identify the individual or organization responsible for the information, don’t use it.

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

·         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.
Is the information accurate? Is it up-to-date?
