“Keep your eyes on the prize”

Anon

Reflection: What this person is trying to say is that you need to make sure your goals are always in sight. You need to get your priorities straight so when you are close to achieving them you won’t feel worried of pressure. All you need to do is make sure you have enough willpower to make sure you know what your goals are. You need to see what’s ahead instead of looking behind. View the positive you’re going to do not the negative let your goals be something your proud of, proud to do. Always have your goals in front of you, let them guide you to greatness.

“You make your habits and your habits make you.”

Anon

Reflection: All this quote is saying is that when you create a habit it starts to define you. You need to understand that once you start repeating something, and making it your own it starts to become you. It gets harder to quit, when you have a bad habit like talking a lot. How far would that get you? You won’t have an education because you’re talking makes you exit the classroom. It doesn’t allow you to make a good impression. It makes you fail in your situations. When you make a good habit like to study more or even just reminders of what you need to do, you gain both confidence in your work and self-respect because you are trying to do what is right and what you want. In conclusion all you need to do is make your life a good habit, do what is necessary first make that a good habit and I promise you will achieve something great.

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens: by Sean Covey

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

By Sean Covey

For teens, life is not a playground, it’s a jungle. And, being the parent of a teenager isn't any walk in the park, either. In his book, The 7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens, author Sean Covey attempts to provide “a compass to help teens and their parents navigate the problems they encounter daily.”

How will they deal with peer pressure? Motivation? Success of lack thereof? The life of a teenager is full of tough issues and life-changing decisions. As a parent, you are responsible to help them learn the principles and ethics that will help them reach their goals and live a successful life.

While it’s all well and good to tell kids how to live their lives, “teens watch what you do more than they listen to what you say,” Covey says. So practice what you preach. Your example can be very influential.

Covey himself has done well by following a parent’s example. His                                 dad, Stephen Covey, wrote the book The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People, which sold over 15 million copies. Sean’s a chip off the old block, and no slacker. His own book has rung in more than respectable 2 million copies sold. Here are his seven habits, and some ideas for helping your teen understand and apply them:

CHOOSE the RIGHT!!

Self-Discipline

It is when you have enough self discipline to understand the differences between right and wrong. It allows you to know when you are being a CTR champion or a CTW dud. You can succeed because you know how to say no to the bad things, accept help when needed, make yourself powerful (Without resorting to violence like Popeye.) You know what the correct and incorrect things to do are, like in Popeye I'm pretty sure you should call the police for harassment not beat the guy up but whatever it is a cartoon.

Work Together. There are a number of ways that you can ensure you get the most out of your educational experience. First, participate fully. Engage regularly in the discussions and be willing to share you personal, professional and educational experiences. You can get to know your classmates through the dialogue that is created in a course environment—sometimes even better that in a face-to-face class. And the same goes for your instructor. Be sure to contact your professor—especially if you are having problems. He/she is still your instructor and will be there to guide and assist you as needed.

Reflection:  Well all you are saying is that when you want to aspire, you want to succeed you will make any situation positive for your own well-being. You need to persevere to achieve greatness not be handed it on a silver platter. You need to go to what you want to do, choose it for yourself not become a self-fulfilling prophecy and be stuck in a bad situation with bad people going nowhere. You need to be self-motivated and be who you want to be and achieve what you want to. Be successful but enjoy it on your own.

A successful student …

… takes responsibility for his\her own learning

Online learning can be a powerful, stimulating, engaging experience for the student who can work and think independently. However, since most—if not all—of the learning takes place on your own time, you will not have the kind of direct supervision you would in a classroom. Online learning therefore requires a significant commitment from you. All education comes down to what you’re willing to invest in the experience—this is particularly true in the online environment. Commitment, self-discipline and self-motivation are all key qualities to ensuring success in an online course!

… is comfortable and confident with written communication

Reading and writing are the basis of most online courses, so it’s critical that you feel comfortable with this form of communication. While some courses contain modules that include videos or other activities, all of them require significant amounts of reading. And nearly all of your communication with your classmates and your instructor will be in writing. If these are weak areas for you, you will want to address those issues prior to enrolling or while enrolled in an online course. The PSU Writing Center is available to assist you.

… is willing to be a member of an online community.
