Attention to Detail

Attention to Detail  7 of 10

When you double-check your calculations for a math problem or cites 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 writes e-mails. John Wooden,UCLA's former great basketball coach who lead his teams to ten 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. They didn't tie them correctly,he would teach them how. Details may be small,but from small things come great things;therefore,pay attention to details and you will experience substantial progress in your overall educational attainment.

Cool Under Pressure

Cool Under Pressure 6 of 10

Very few students enjoy taking tests. Yet functioning well under pressure is crucial to your future success. Try thinking of the pressure of testing as practice for the work world's own explosive situations. You could someday find yourself meeting tight deadlines, speaking with irate customers,wielding a scalpel or handling dangerous chemicals.

The best way to curtail pressure and to even eliminate it is to prepare. Applying the motto"Be Prepared" holds true first time and every time. Prepare for that test, and you won't worry about it.

Problem-Solving Skills 4 of 10

Problem-Solving Skills 4 of 10

Problem solving goes far beyond your math textbook. Every assignment is an opportunity to weigh all possible solutions carefully and choose the one you think is best. As a working professional,you'll be solving problems regularly, whether it's fixing a bug in a computer program or overcoming budget shortfalls. Problem solving situations occur extensively and frequently;therefore,be ready then come.

When problems or challenges occur, some people look at them at negative experiences as a crisis.These people are the ones who live day by day with gloom and negativism in their attitudes. But the really successful people, those who are cheerful and optimistic, are those who look at problems as opportunities opportunities to learn,grow,expand their horizons,and make new discoveries. They look on the bright side of things and live happy lives.

My Weekend

My Weekend

What i'm going to do is after school i'm going to buy some pizza with friends and watch a movie and then i'm going to listen to one of my favorite songs from Megadeth "Trust" and these are the lyrics. Lost in a dream Nothing is what it seems Searching my head For the words that you said Tears filled my eyes As we said our last goodbyes This sad scene replays Of you walking away My body aches from mistakes Betrayed by lust We lied to each other so much That in nothing we trust Time and again, She repeats let's be friends I smile and say yes Another truth bends, I must confess

I try to let go, but I know We'll never end 'til we're dust We lied to each other again But I wish I could trust My body aches from mistakes Betrayed by lust We lied to each other so much That in nothing we trust God help me please, on my knees Betrayed by lust We lied to each other so much That in nothing we trust How could this be happening to me I'm lying when I say "Trust me" I can't believe this is true Trust hurts Why does trust equal suffering Absolutely nothing we trust. My body aches from mistakes Betrayed by lust We lied to each other so much That in nothing we trust

God help me please, on my knees Betrayed by lust We lied to each other so much

Now there's nothing we trust My body aches from mistakes Betrayed by lust We lied to each other so much That in nothing we trust God help me please, on my knees Betrayed by lust We lied to each other so much Now there's nothing we trust.

And if i get sad during the weekend it's Xbox time.

Every time your class breaks into groups to tackle a challenge,you build teamwork skills. In college,you'll continue to have these opportunities to practice voicing your opinions,listening and responding to others,and reaching compromises. By the time you leave college,you can be an expert in this important workplace skill.

Individually you can achieve so much,but when you work with others for a common cause,the same objectives,you can accomplish a tremendous amount more. You synergize your talents, knowledge,and skills with those whom you work. All members of the team are edified together,a type of edification you can't obtain by working alone.

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 your 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.

http:www.newswiretoday.com/news/17334/

According to The Block of List, the fear of public speaking ranks number one in 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 at 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 just communicating one-on-one with others, you'll get far better results if you can speak persuasively,smoothly and intelligently.

Writing Skills

Writing Skills 1 of 10

Communication is at the top of the list of skills that employers look for. And communication in the workplace often means writing.

Health professionals keep patient charts,researchers depend on the money they collect by writing grant applications,software engineers write technical specifications, and nearly everyone writes e-mail to people inside and outside their organization. And before you even get the chance to interview for a job, you'll need to present yourself in cover letters and resumes.

So,by taking serious and doing your best on every research paper,every lab report you write,every new post you write in your blog site,and every writing activity you engage in, you're preparing yourself for a career.

Online Learning

Online Learning part 1

Read Between the Lines 

Make a judgement about the site's reliability based on your own analysis of the site and the information it contains. Here are some ways to do this:

• Look for facts you know or can check with a trusted source. If the site gets those facts right, it's more likely that the other facts on the site are also accurate.
• Study the language used. Is it angry, satiric or overly impassioned? This may indicate that the site is biased.
• Consider whether the arguments are logical and backed up by evidence,and whether the site presents only one point of view.
• Check the links to the source that the author acknowledges. Scholarly writing, whether in print online, should include a bibliography.

Dot-What?

Look at the site's address. What follows the dot?

• Dot-com is not only for businesses; anyone can use it. Dot-coms include well-known and respected companies, but also private individuals.
• Dot-org usually indicates a not-for-profit organization. Many dot-org present unbiased information, but others have political agendas, focus on debatable issues instead of facts, and might not present all sides of an argument.
• Dot-gov indicates a governments website at the federal, state or local level. The federal government is a good source of statistics, and its sites are widely considered among the most reliable.
• Dot-mil is used by sites that are part of the military.
• Dot-edu usually indicates a university website. While its published research is generally considered very trustworthy, anyone associated with the university, whether a world-renowned scholar or a freshman, can be given space on its server. Professors sometimes put student course work up on the Web, but that doesn't mean they're vouching for the information's accuracy.

• 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's 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?

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 do 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 the facts,but are full of errors. Others present information in a 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.
