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 you’re 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 setback more easily.

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 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 target can all play an important role.

Whether studying or in general life, planning is an imperative skill. Here, 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.

. They prefer tasks with some degree of difficulty and novelty, which stimulate their learning skills.

. They don’t apply the simple criteria of success- fail to their learning. Remember, they are focused into the learning process.

.They know how to handle groups.

. Finally, they work with passion.

 

Other chief habit is that of asking question. 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 other areas 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 in more important. A result is a very brief moment of life, while learning to develop processes 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 see errors and failures as opportunities.

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

. They consult experts and teachers frequently. This action provides a new perspective about the studied topics.

.  Everyone wants to be successful in life, but where are the keys to success? 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 internal 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 scrip including history, characters, goals and relations. Therefore, you could start writing down the scrip 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 it the most important habit for successful students.

Successful students also exhibit other particular traits we should internalize:

The body is related to the breath, and the breath is related to the mind. The body, breath, sense, and mind all functions together as a unit. So life virtually means relationship, and thus the art of living and being required an understanding of one’s relationship to the external world and the relationship within oneself.

All human being have inner potentials, but many people are not aware of those potentials and do not know how to use them to have a successful life. Those who are not happy internally can never be happy externally; those who are not happy within themselves can never make others happy. Those who do not love themselves can never love others.

Let’s relax, and start listing the reasons that impel you to study some topic, as crude as they may be. It’s possible that your list is empty. Don’t worry, it only means that you have not identified any reason to study the chose and very specific point (It’s for sure that you are an excellent learner in other areas of life.) If you don’t have any motivation to study, then give me the list of reasons why you don’t want to study, and please note that this list cannot be empty .

By Herrera

We humans are innate learners, as learning is the cornerstone for survival. We must remember, abstract and apply knowledge in diverse (and often harsh) environments in order to develop into and behave as truly intelligent beings. In short, the adaptability and resilience we exhibit stem from learning. Now, a key issue to learning is the driving force behind it , i.e., the motivation or stimuli to learn. We can learn because of fear (we want to learn how to protect ourselves from danger.) We can learn just out of curiosity (our natural inquisitive behavior.) We can learn because we want to reach some social status (approval of others is a potent stimuli to learn.) We can learn simply because we love to learn new things everyday. There is plenty of reason to learn and yours may easily be a mixture of these. Health and money are important things in life, but learning is the base for using them wisely.

Successful students take charge of their lives and balance their time between fun and work. They know that there is a time for all-nighters, and it’s not during finals week.

Successful students take care of themselves do they live on junk food lay on the couch watching TV every night? Students with poor physical habits probably don’t feel very energetic in the mornings, and they probably don’t feel good sitting in class, either.

Good food and a little exercise will clear your head! Students who eat junk in moderation (you really don’t have to cut it out completely)and work out in some way are more likely to participate in sports. That means they have more balance in their lives, feel better in the morning, and are more alert in class.

You just  have to change a few habits to feel better.

Eat healthy foods, start walking more, take a yoga class, enroll in martial arts classes, or challenge yourself to do sit-ups at night . you’ll notice a change right away.

It’s a Matter of Talking Charge

Of You Time and Destiny!

Have you ever wondered what successful students do to set themselves apart from the rest? They key is simple: successful students take charge of their own success.

There is no magic trick, power drink, or special class that makes a student excel in the classroom. Students stand out because they take charge of their time and their task, without relying on anybody else to tell them what to do.

Successful Students Control Their Calendars.

Successful students don’t rely on parents or teachers to tell them when assignments are due or when test dates are approaching. They mark special dates in their calendars and keep track of commitments and schedules.

Successful students don’t put others in charge of their lives. Successful students prioritize Do you like to stay out late with friends? Do you like to go to parties? Do you like to watch TV or play video games all night? Well, who doesn’t ?

6.EFFORT:”C”student are capable of sufficient effort, but either fail to realistically evaluate the effort need to accomplish a task successfully ,or lack the desire to meet the challenge. They put forth very little effort. They don’t realize that they will be rewarded according the amount of effort they put into a project. Little effort=bad results.

7. COMMUNICATIONS: “C” students communicate in ways that often limit comprehension or risk misinterpretation. Idea are not well formulated before they are expressed. Poor listening/reading habits inhibit matching inquiry and response.

8.RESULTS:”C”students obtain mediocre or inconsistent results on tests. They have some concept of what is going on but clearly have not mastered the material.

CURIOSITY:”C” students seldom explore topics deeper than their face value. They lack vision and bypass interconnectedness of concepts. Immediate relevancy is often their singular test for involvement.

3. RETENTION: “C” student retain less information and for shorter periods. Less effort seems to go toward organizing and associating learned information with previously acquired knowledge. They display short-term  retention by relying on cramming session that focus on details, not concepts.

4. ATITTUDE:”C” student are not visibly committed to class. They participate without enthusiasm. Their body language often expresses boredom.

5. TALENT:”C” student vary enormously in talent. Some have exceptional ability but show undeniable signs of poor self-management or bad attitudes. Others are diligent but simply average in academic ability.

1.           Attendance: “C” students are often late and miss class frequently. They put others priorities ahead of academic WORK. In some cases, their health or constant fatigue renders them physically unable to keep up with the demands of high-level performance. They think it is “cool” to be tardy because it makes them think they are big shots. Skipping class is another down fall for the “C” and failing students.

2.           Preparation: ”C” student may prepare their assignment consistently ,but often in a perfunctory manner. Their work may be sloppy or careless. At times, it is incomplete or late. They  postpone doing home assignments in order to next friends, visit friends on Facebook,  or send tweets to some of their followers. They take shortcuts to complete academic work. They are short-sighted because they can’t see the long range destruction of taking shortcuts. It never pays off.
