Acquiring the Habits of Highly Successful Students Part 5


Acquiring the Habits of Highly Successful Students
Part 5

2-Success is about achieving goals, and therefore is a relative notion. Highly successful students are those which set realistic goals, and attain them with the proper investment of resources. Thus, not necessarily the student with the highest grades is the most successful learner. Now, we have stated what the successful student is like. Good.

2- If you have negative entries in your list of driving forces, it’s time to improve things quite a bit. First, identify other topics that you indeed like a lot, not necessarily related to studying. Perhaps you like pets, to cook or to play video games. Now, try to establish associations or links between these favorites activities of yours and subject of study that you dislike. For example, let’s assume that you dislike Literature (you perhaps think it’s an utterly boredom) but love your humongous pit-bull “Casino Joe”. Then you could start thinking how your dog can fit as a character into that novel you have to analyze: what its role would be and how he would interact with other characters in the novel.

Student Success Statement




Student Success Statement
“A CTR champion is a person who makes a great human out of himself”
-Noemi Trigueros
(HPHS Students 2010-11)

-What I think this quote means is that you can tell when someone is CTR because they are really great students and in most cases have a successful life.

Part 4
The body is related to the breath, and the breath is related to the mind. The body, breath, senses, and mind all function together as a unit. So life virtually means relationship, and thus the art of living and being requires an understanding of one’s relationship to the external world and the relationships within oneself.
All human beings have inner potentials, but many people are not aware of those potentials and do not know how to use them to have a successful life. Those who are not happy internally can never be happy externally; those who are not happy within themselves can never make others happy. Those who do not love themselves can never love others.

“The Harmful Effects of Smoking”

“The Harmful Effects of Smoking”

Do you know that smoking causes harmful effects? Well it does. It causes emotionally, mentally, and physically effects. Smoking is really harmful for those who smoke and the ones who don’t. It might sound weird but if you were to be smoking next to someone the smoke would be inhaled by the other person and also cause that person harm. That is called second hand smoke. Do you have any idea how much idea how many people die because of smoking? If you don’t there will be some statistics provided below.
·    Around 6 million deaths a year are caused by tobacco.
·    Every 6.5 seconds a current or former smoker dies, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
·    1 in 100 people around the world die from secondhand smoke each year.
·    Health officials have known that more than 1 billion people around the world smoke and 5 million people die each year from tobacco-related illness.
I hope this has helped you reflect that if you are a current smoker to become sober and if you haven’t smoked don’t start. CTR!
