Master the moments and you may be a 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 ones, respond to
e- mails while working on a major presentation, or order tomorrow ‘s produce
while planning next week’s menu
Someone said, “Wherever you are, be there.”
Focus on the present moment’s 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, so make the most of it while it NOW. Master the
present and you will master the future. Work smart by mastering the present

When you double-check your calculations 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 data base , keep a log of the hours you spend with clients or write e-mails.

Among a number of things, he mentioned that paying attention to detail 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 shoes strings. If they they didn’t tie them correctly, he would teach them how.

Very
few students enjoy taking test. Yet functioning well under pressure is crucial
to your future success. Try thinking of the pressure of test taking as a
practice for the work worlds 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. In fact, it will be your chance to shine, to
reveal the hard work you have put into preparing for the test. You will be
rewarded for the effort you have thrust into your studies. Preparation removes
fear. When you are prepared. You will not fear. Preparation helps you maintain

therefore, prepare and your coolness under pressure is sure to abound.

Initiative is creativity, inventiveness, originality,
ingenuity, imagination. Every time you respond in class, every time you choose
your own research topic, every time you put together your own
interpretation of a piece of literature, you take initiative. And future
employers value can- do professionals who came up with new ideas and chart
their own courses through projects, employees who are self-reliant. Self-reliant
people are self-relaters who don’t procrastinate on getting the job done. They
know what is required to do and do it. They don’t wait to be told many times.

you’ll be solving problems regularly, whether it’s fixing a bug in a computer

When problems or challenges occur, some people
look at them at negative experiences, as a crisis. These people are the one who
live day by day with gloom and negativism in their attitudes. But the really

When you’re assigned a class presentation,
think twice before dismissing it as 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 book of lists, the fear of
public speaking ranks number ones to the minds of the majority people .far
above the fear of death and disease comes the fear of standing in front. Of a
crowd. Joel wiener noted author and public speaker wants to help people
overcome that fear.
“The biggest fear is public speaking, with 15
percent of Americans experiencing a dramatic fear of it, “ said Dr. Michael
Telic of the Laboratory of the study of anxiety disorder (LSAD) in the
department of psychology at the university of Texas at Austin . “ people have had
to turn dozen 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.

“Nothing in the world can take the place of
persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with
talent. Genius will not; the world is full of education derelicts. Persistence

Communication is as top of the list of skills
that employers look for. And communication in the workplace often means
writing. Health professionals keep patients charts. Research 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 talking writing serious and doing your
best on 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 good

look for a biography that discusses the author’s education, profession and

elsewhere on the web.

Check the date; facts can change
over time so see if the site shows when it was last updated.

and the information it contains. Here are some ways to do this:
· Look for facts you know you 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 also indicate that the site is
biased.
· Consider whether the arguments are
logical and backed up by evidence, and whether the site presents one point of
view.
· Check the links to the sources that
the author acknowledges. Scholarly writing, whether in print or online, should
