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 initialize 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 star student, a champion of doing what is right, and see yourself working hard to become outstanding and you’re your dreams and visions 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.

What is important to you is that you, as you start to reach milestones in you ambitions, you appreciate. It’s 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 don’t seem to be going well, and an ability to recover and learn 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 play an important role.

“Be Wise-Never Use Drugs or Alcohol”

“Be Wise-Never Use Drugs or Alcohol”

                Doing drugs is a very bad thing to do. Not only is it bad it is unhealthy, it affects many things in your body, depending on the drug. Many teenagers are trying or are doing drugs at this age which they shouldn’t be doing. It could cause them to lose focus in school and other stuff. School is very important and should be your first priority. For example, I have this one friend that goes to another school from me, but most of the time she is smoking marijuana. This is causing her not to care about school. She ditches school mostly every day to smoke. She is also drinking alcohol which is also very bad for you. She is only 14 and already smoking in a daily basis. Marijuana can cause you to loose brain cells little by little. It is very sad knowing that she doesn’t even try in school no more. You can become addicted to alcohol and drugs.  Many people that do use drugs and alcohol probably love it and make them feel good about themselves. But if they become addicted it going to hard for them to stop using drugs or drinking alcohol. It can ruin your life! Another example is that one of my uncles used to be an alcoholic. I hated seeing my uncle, knowing that he was addicted to drinking alcohol. He would drink every single day. My grandma tried to do a lot of thing to make him stop with the help of my father and his siblings. But my uncle just didn’t listen. He would even shake when he didn’t get a beer or any type of alcohol. So my grandma sent him to back to Mexico and there he stopped drinking. I mean its ok to drink a couple of times when you are over 21 because its legal but not on a daily basis. So don’t ever drink alcohol or use drugs!!!

Whether studying or in general life, planning is an imperative skill. Here, we must strictly set the hours for studying, and 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 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 in the last possible day.             ~('o')~
