“Honesty is the cornerstone of character. The honest man or women 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

You shouldn’t think about what will happen in the future because the present is what determines what will happen in the future so make sure to stay focused on the present which is now and not the future.

Time Management

8 of 10

Master the moments and you may be 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 of current clients while attracting new ones, respond to e-mails while working on a major presentation, or order tomorrows 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. Don’t let your mind drift and wander here and there when you need to be thinking and concentrating on the moment at hand. You can’t back and recapture this moment, so make the most of it NOW. Master the present and you will master the future, Work smart by mastering the present moment.

Choose The Right!!!

Student Success Statement

“Truth is the only safe ground to stand upon.”

-Elizabeth Cady Stanton

If you lie then you are taking the wrong path. If you always tell the truth then the success you are looking for will soon come because of your good deeds. Never tell a lie not even when trying to not hurt someone feelings because when the truth comes out it will hurt them more to know you lied.

Attention to Detail

7 of 10

 When you double-check your calculation 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 workplace, 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 teams to tend consecutive national championships, was asked what he attributed his success to. Among a number of things, 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 education attainment.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

Student Success Statement

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

-Peter F. Drucker

You should always do things that are right first because those are the things that people judge for. If you do it just because it is acceptable it doesn’t mean it right. So always do things because they are right not because they are acceptable.
