“Be quick, but don’t get into a hurry.”

-John Wooden

You can be fast but when you get into a hurry you don’t know what really you’re doing. Ex; you read a book yes you can be a fast reader but when you get into a hurry, you don’t remember what you read.

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 free 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 decent and appropriate never anything pornographic, vulgar, indecent, our 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.

“When an archer misses the mark, he turns and looks for the fault within himself. Failure to hit the bulls-eye is never the fault of the target. To improve your aim, improve yourself.”

-Gilbert Arland

What this statement is trying to say is that it all depends on you, to be successful. Not on other people.

Recite

At the end of each section, look up from the text and in your own words recite an answer to your question for that section. Then write down your answer. Be sure to provide examples that support it.

Now repeat the Question, Read and Recite steps for each section of the chapter. First ask a question for the next section. Then read to find the answer. Finally, recite the answer in your own words and jot it down. The written questions and answers can help you study in the future.

Review

After completing the chapter, review your notes. Identify the main points by looking for the most important idea in each section. Recite, or write, a brief summary of the assignment.

Review your study notes every week to help you remember the information. When it’s time to prepare for your tests, you’ll find you’ve created an invaluable study guide.

“The first law of success… Is concentration to bend all the energies to one point, and to go to directly to that point, looking neither to the right nor the left.”

-William Mathews

This means that you have to concentrate the best you can, not fooling  around looking at the celling or daydreaming. You have to stay on task & not let anyone bother you.

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 and 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 an idea more powerfully than written text.

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

-Robert Kiyosaki

You should start doing good things now, not the next day or the next because that just shows your irresponsible for your future. If you do it today & not tomorrow you’re not going to regret anything. But if you do nothing & you let the day pass by you, you’re going to go back & say to yourself I regret this & that, I should of done it.
