Speaking Skills 2 of 10

Speaking Skills 2 of 10

When you’re assigned a class presentation, think twice before dismissing it as an unimportant part of our education. Employers look for speaking skills in job applicants, who may have to give presentations to clients or represent their organization in the field. It’s never too soon to practice good eye contact and other public speaking techniques.

According to The Book of Lists, the fear of public speaking ranks number one in the minds of the majority of people. Far above the fear of death and disease, comes the fear of standing in front of a crowd. Joel Weiner noted author and public speaker wants to help people overcome that fear.

“The biggest fear is public speaking, with 15 percent of American experiencing a dramatic fear of it,” said Dr. Michael Telch of the Laboratory for the Study of Anxiety Disorders (LSAD) in the Department of Psychology at the University of Texas In Austin. “People have had to turn down jobs, and certainly students have dropped classes because of it.”

Regardless of your occupation, your success depends a great deal upon your ability to communicate effectively! Whether you’re running a meeting, selling a product, making a presentation, motivating co- workers or jus communicating one-on-one with others, you’ll get far better results if you can speak persuasively, smoothly, and intelligently.

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.

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

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

It’s Online but Is It on Target Part 1


It’s Online but Is It on Target
Part 1
Using the Web Wisely
Thanks to the Web, information is easy to find. However, it’s also easy to post something online. Anyone can do it.
You’ve probably used the Internet to research for a paper, to help you decide which product to buy or to form an opinion about current events. Looking up information online is fast and convenient. But when you do online research, it’s important to find sites you can trust.
Many websites claim to have facts, but are full of errors. Others present information in biased way- they only give one side of an argument. How can you tell a reliable source from an unreliable one? Also, it is critical that you post online only that which is descent and appropriate, never anything pornographic, vulgar, indecent, out of taste, untruthful, or obscene. Post those things that will make a good name for you and your organization, that will promote goodwill and be of benefit to the world.

Student Success Statement


Student Success Statement

“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.

Balancing high school and part times work Part 4


Balancing high school and part times work
Part 4
Additional Tips

Although working and going to school is challenging, it can be a rewarding experience if you use some foresight. These tips can help you handle the situation and make the most of your time:

·       Discuss your plans with your family. Balancing the demands of school and work is easier with their support.

·       Start slowly; don’t commit to working a lot of hours immediately.

·       Avoid time conflicts by planning your class and work schedules as far ahead of time as possible.

·       Use your time efficiently.  You use 10 minutes waiting in a line to go over a few pages of assigned reading. If your job has a lot of down time and your boss has no objection, you can use slow periods to do schoolwork.

·       If you commute to your job on public transportation, bring your schoolwork with you so you can work along the way.

Be flexible and willing to make sacrifices. You may have to cut down on some other thing you might like to do because of your school and work commitments.

·       If you have too much on your plate, admit it. Then cut back as needed.

·       Schedule relaxation. Everyone needs some down time to stay happy and healthy
