                 Students know they should learn to decide on time, but they don’t do it. They always say, “Well, I knew it. I understood the key, but I did not act in time.” Though they may think correctly, and accurately understand the situation properly, they suddenly lose confidence. This is a world of competition; someone else is always trying to attain the same thing you are. So if we do not decide on time, someone else will attain what we want. Time is valuable in the external world. A tender bamboo can be easily bent, but if we try to bend a mature bamboo, it will break. That which we have to do today, we should not postpone for tomorrow, but we should also not make decisions in haste. We may have a setback if we make wrong decision, but our mistakes will teach us.

                              We must learn from the successes and mistakes of others. When we see another student succeeding greatly and honorably, learn how they do it and pattern your studies after their’s. Also, on the other hand, when you see other students failing miserably, learn how they do it and AVOID doing what they do or else you will join them in the failure’s club.

                       Make the most of your time and opportunities while at school. Don’t waste valuable time.

Do the math. Even if you’re struggling in math, stay with it. Knowing math gives you options.  It opens doors to good jobs in computers, engineering and business. And it helps your mind get organized.

               Take math problems one step at a time.

               Do your math homework every day. Falling behind will make it that much harder.

               Ask for help and study with friends if you are having problems understanding a concept.

               The first point to understand is the philosophy and science of decision – how to make decisions on time. The most successful person is that person who knows how to decide on time. There are many extraordinary brilliant people who understand things very quickly, but when the time comes to make a decision, when an opportunity comes, they withdraw and are not able to act. They do not know how to decide.

Global Issues
Poverty is an issue that effects the entire world. It contributes to other problems like crime, violence and exploitation. Watch the following videos paying attention to the problems and their causes that are discussed:
Global Issues Reflection:

• Describe at least one of the issues discussed in as much detail as possible.

One of the issues that where discussed in the video was drug dealing. Many people have chosen to  work for them instead of finding a job that does not involve the use of drug and violence. Many kids are taking the easy path, but that will only lead to disaster in their life's.

• What could you do to help solve this issue?

In order to solve this issue I could try to find people that help the kids, and try to help those people.

• Do you think we have this issue  or similar ones here in the U.S.? Why or why not.

In my opinion, I think we do. The only difference is that our government is not as corrupt here as it is in the video. In the video probably the government seems to be corrupt. If the government in places like the ones shown in the video, things wouldn't be as bad.

Write.  Writing is a way to express yourself: your ideas, opinions and knowledge. And you may do a lot of it in college and on the job.

Write a little every day. Try keeping a daily journal to make a habit of writing.

Read outside class to increase your vocabulary and understanding of grammar.

Break up long writing sessions into shorter periods with regular breaks.

Let your writing sit for a while and then come back to it.

Read your writing out loud or have someone read it to you.

Edit someone else’s writing and let that person edit yours.

Learn to write and write to learn.

Write creatively. Writing on your personal web blog is a great way to put your words into writing and to journalize your writing day after day.

Write your life story.

Write your life’s goals in a journal, review these goals often, revise your goals as needed.

But, write them down.

“Writing maketh an exact man; therefore, he that writeth littler hath need of a great memory” (Anon)

Write to remember.
