“Your future is created by what you do today, not tomorrow.”

Robert Kiyosaki

I think that this means that you shouldn’t wait until tomorrow to do something, if you have something to do, do it at the moment. Don’t leave it waiting for later. The sooner you get done with important things, the more available time you will have. And with one choice that you make today, it can affect tomorrow too.

Improve Your Study Skills

SQ3R stands for:

·         Survey

·         Question

·         Read

·         Recite

·         Review

It is a proven technique to sharpen your study skills. In college, you’ll be required to do lots of reading. You’ll often have to complete reading assignments in several books for several different courses at the same time

SQ3R helps make reading and studying purposeful and effective, so that you use your time most efficiently. Here’s how this strategy works.

Survey

Let’s say your assignment is to read one chapter. First, get an idea of what the chapter is about by reviewing the highlights:

• Read the tittle, headings and sub headings.
• Notice words that are italicized or bold.
• Look at charts, graphs, maps, and other visual material.
• Read captions
• Read the very beginning and end of the chapter.

NEVER

“There is no justification ever for choosing any part of what you know to be evil.”

Ayn Rand

 I think that this quote means that it’s never okay for you to something wrong. First of all, because you don’t need to. And second, it doesn’t give you anything in return but a guilty conscience.

Tip 5: Keep a List of Questions

When you feel confused about something you're reading, write down any questions you have. Sometimes your questions are answered as you read further. If not, don't be afraid to ask for help. Remember, teachers create assignments; they've read the texts and are familiar with them. When you have specific questions, your teachers can provide answers that will help you better understand the material. Learning is rooted in questions develop and asked by the learner.

 Asking questions to yourself, to the teacher, and to others, is a great learning method. When you cease to ask questions, you cease to exist to a great extent. Read actively by silently asking questions as you read. Questioning immerses you into the material you are reading and therefore will expand your mental capacities more than almost anything else.

The philosopher Sir Francis Bacon said “knowledge is power.” Improving your reading comprehension is the key to gaining important knowledge and making the most of your education. So pick up a book….. and a pen.

“When I was teaching basketball, I urged my players to try their hardest to improve on that very day, to make that practice masterpiece. This rule is even more important in life than basketball. you have to apply yourself to the task of becoming a little better each and every day over a period of time, you will become a lot better. Only then will you be able to approach being the best you can be. It begins by trying to make each day count and  knowing you can never up for a lost day.”

John Wooden

I think this quote means that the more you practice the better you will be. For example if you have trouble memorizing something the only way you will be good at it is if you practice and practice until you have mastered it. I think it’s important for you to try your best in everything in your everyday life, because if you don’t try your best you will not go very far in life. Also the key to success is to have self-determination and belief that you can do what you set your mind to and that you will not stop until you reach it. And don't stop there once you achieved a goal you set another and keep going on trying to have a successful life.

Tip 3: Do Research

Literary critics have written vast numbers of analytical and critical pieces on countless books. It you’re having trouble understanding a particular text, do some research and see what knowledgeable sources have to say about it. In addition to increasing your comprehension, you’ll also be showing initiative, something teachers always like to see. Always use legitimate and scholarly sources, not condensed study guides. Going the extra mile in your research elevates your achievement 10-fold.

Tip 4: Use a Dictionary

Make sure you have aces to a dictionary when you’re reading. You can often figure out the meaning of  an unfamiliar word by using context clues, but sometimes you can’t. rather than simply skipping over the words you don’t know, take the time to look them up. The results are well worth the effort. Your comprehension will increase greatly, and you’ll build your vocabulary at the same time.

“Every time I’ve done something that doesn’t feel right, it’s ended up not being right.”

Mario Cuomo

I think this quote means that when your gut tells you that something is wrong you have to listen to it because it might be right. If you feel that you forgot something its mostly because you did. Also if you keep feeling like you did something wrong then it is because you probably did do something wrong. There is no reason to not feel guilty unless you did something to feel guilty about.
