"To see what is right and not to do it and not to do it is want of courage."

Confucius 

Reflection:  I agree because i think it lacks courage when you do something wrong.I think that there is no it take a lot of courage to do something right . Whether or not the situation is really bad or not there is no excuse for choosing the wrong when you can always choose the right. There is always a moment of making a huge decisions whether it affects either you or other people you know that somewhere in your head you want to pick the right decisions even if you might be leaning towards the wrong choice.

Rephrase difficult questions.

To understand questions better, rewrite them in your own words. Be careful not to change the meaning

During the test

Read the directions.
It’s important that you follow the instructions exactly. For example, some questions may have more than one correct answer.

Answer every question.

Unless there is a penalty for wrong answers, try to answer every question; you may be able to get partial credit for those you begin but don’t complete correctly.

Ask questions.

If a question isn’t clear, talk to your teacher. If that’s not possible, explain your answer in the margin.

Research with Attitude

Conduct your research with the attitude of a skeptic. As you examine websites for clues that they’re trustworthy, ask these questions:

·      Who wrote the Web page? If you can’t identify the individual or organization responsible for the information, don’t use it.

·      What are the author’s qualifications for writing on the subject?

·      Has the article passed through an editorial process designed to ensure quality and accuracy?

·      What is the website purpose? Look for motives – like selling products or winning votes – that could result in biased or incomplete information.

·      Is the information accurate? Is it up-to-date?

·      Where did the author get this information?

Question

As you survey the text, ask a question for each section. Ask what, why, how, when, who and where questions as they relate to the content. Here’s how you can create questions:

·        Turn the title, headings or subheadings into questions.

·        Rewrite the questions at the end of the chapter or after each subheading in your own words.

Write down your questions. Questions help you pay attention, understand the text better and recall the information more easily later on.

Read

Read one section of the chapter at a time, actively looking for an answer to your question for that section. Pay attention to bold or italicized text that authors use to make important points.

Be sure to review everything in the section, including tables, graphs and illustrations- these features can communicate and idea more powerfully that written text.

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

Robert Kiyosaki

Reflection: I think it’s true that your future depends on the choices you make right now and not tomorrow. The most important time is now, the Present time. The choices you make now will affect everything whether it’s a good decision or a bad one. The choices you made in the past no longer matter or the ones you will make the future. It all depends on the choices you make now because what you do now will soon be future and the past.

3. Set Attainable Goals

If you’re having trouble writing a 25-page paper for class because it seems like such a big job, don’t focus on that final number. Break the paper down and consider each section of your paper individually. You can handle any project in small chunks.

4. Find a Social Support Network

Create a group of people around you who want to help you succeed. Mentors can be teachers or family members who can give you guidance and help you develop new skills. Counselors can help you with planning your courses and starting to explore colleges. You can also reach out to friends and peers who can motivate you by listening and sharing ideas.

5. Acknowledge Your Accomplishments

Give yourself a quick reward when you complete an assignment or task. Take a walk, send an email, get a snack. Then move on to the next project.
