7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens By Sean Covey

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

By Sean Covey

For teen, life is not a playground it’s a jungle. And, being the parent of a teenager isn't any walk in the park, either. In his book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, author Sean Covey attempts to provide “a compass to help teens and their parents navigate the problem they encounter daily.”

How will they deal with peer pressure? Motivation? Success or lack thereof? The life of a teenager is full of tough issues and life changing decisions. As a parent, you are responsible to help them learn the principles and ethics that will help them learn their goals and live a successful life.

While it’s all well and good to tell kids how to live their lives, “teens watch what you do more than they listen to what you say,” Covey says. So practice what you preach. Your example can be very influential

Covey himself has done well by following a parent’s example. His dad, Stephen Covey, wrote the book The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People, which sold over 15 million copies. Sean’s a chip off the old block, and no slacker. His own book has rung in a more than respectable 2 million copies sold. Here are his seven habits, and some ideas for helping your teen understand and apply them.

…owns or has easy success to a computer with Internet access and e-mail

You don’t have to be a computer expert to be successful in online learning---but you must have access to a personal computer with reliable internet access as well as basic level of competency in using them. Owning a computer with internet access from your home is ideal but many students use the computer labs on campus or at their offices to complete their work.

….has basic computer skills and is willing and open to learning new ones

You can get to know your classmate through the dialogue that created in course environment sometimes even better than in a face to face class. And same goes for your instructor. Be sure to contact your professor especially if you have problems. He/she is still your instructor and will be there to guide and assist you as needed.

“It’s not where you live but how you live that counts. It’s not where you play the game but how you play the game that counts”

-Mr. Haymore

It’s your own decisions, your mind, and your ways of thinking NOT theirs! Choose The Right!! :D

A successful student…

…..takes responsibility for his/her own learning

Online learning can be powerful, stimulating, engaging experience for the student who can work and think independently. However, since most—if not all—of the learning takes place on your own time, you will not have the kind of direct supervision you would in a classroom. Online learning therefore requires a significant commitment from you. All education comes down to what you’re willing to invest in the experience—this is particularly true in the online environment. Commitment, self-discipline and self-motivation are all key qualities to ensuring success in an online course!

…is comfortable and confident with written communication reading and writing are the basis of most online courses, so it’s critical that you feel comfortable with this form of communication. While some courses contain molecules that include videos other   activities, all of them require significant amounts of reading. And nearly all of you communication with your classmates and your instructor will be writing. If these are weak areas for you, you will want to address those issues prior to enrolling or while enrolled in an online course. The PSU Writing Center is available to assist you.

…is willing to be a member of an online community.

10. Successful students are good time managers. Successful students do not procrastinate. They have learned that time control is life control and have consciously chosen to be in control of their life.

An element truth: you will either control time or be controlled by it! It’s your choice: you can lead or be led, establish control or relinquish control, steer your own course or follow others. Failure to take control of their own time is probably no. 1 study skill problem for college students. It ultimately causes many students to become non students! Procrastinators are good excuse-makers. Don’t make academics harder on yourself that it has to be. Stop procrastinating. And don’t wait until tomorrow to do it!

The 10 items listed above are paraphrased from an article by Larry M Ludewig called 10 commandments for effective study skills which appeared in The Teaching Professor, December, 1992.

-Joseph Smith

9.  ….don‘t cram for exams. Successful students know that divided periods of study are more effective than cram sessions, and they practice it.

If there is one thing that study skills specialist agree on, it is that distributed study is better than massed, late night, last ditch, efforts known as cramming. You’ll learn more, remember more, and earn a higher grade by studying in four, one hour–a-night sessions for Friday’s exam than studying for four hours straight on Thursday night. Short, concentrated preparation effort are more efficient and rewarding than wasteful, inattentive, last moment marathon. Yet, so many students fail to learn this lesson and end up repeating it over and over again until it becomes a wasteful habit. Not too clever, huh?

When you cram, you are taking the shortcut, and shortcuts never produce any real worthwhile results. Also, when you take shortcuts, you feel rather rotten knowing that you could have done better but didn't  Shortcuts cut you short. You can’t plant watermelon seeds and harvest fresh watermelon the next day. It takes time. Cramming for a test or project and expecting to make a high score the next day is like planting watermelon seeds expecting to harvest and eat fresh watermelons the next day. Plus cramming for a test or project doesn't help you academically, so why even do it. Plan ahead, prepare ahead. Give yourself plenty of days a week’s prepare for upcoming accountability opportunities.

“What‘s Right Isn’t Always Popular. What’s Popular Isn’t Always Right”

-Howard Cosell

What This Quote Means Is That Everything That Is Popular Now-A-Days Isn’t Right It’s Bad And Many People Do Those Bad Things So They Can Look Popular. Also the Good Things Are Not Really Popular Because They Might Think They’re Lame Or Something Dumb.

7.  . . . understand that actions affect learning. Successful students know their personal behavior affect their feelings and emotions which in turn can affect learning.

If you act in a certain way that normally produces particular feelings, you will begin to experience those feelings. Act like you’re bored, and you’ll become bored. Act like you’re disinterested, and you’ll become disinterested. So the next time you have trouble concentrating in the classroom, “act” like an interested person: lean forward, place your feet flat on the floor, maintain eye contact with the professor, nod occasionally, take notes and ask questions. Not only will you benefit directly from your actions, your classmates and professor may also get more excited and enthusiastic.

8. . . . talk about what their learning . Successful students get to know something well enough that they can put into words. Talking about something, with friends or classmates, is not only good for checking whether or not you know something, it’s a proven learning tool. Transferring ideas into words provides the most direct path for moving knowledge from short-term to long-term   memory. You really don’t “know” materials until you can put it into words. So, next time you study, don’t do it silently. Talks about notes, problems, reading, etc. with friends, recite to a chair, organize an oral study group, pretend your teaching your peers. “Talk-learning” producers a whole host of memory trace that result in more learning.

Choose the Right!!!!

Summary

If you graduate you will feel pleasure for graduating high school but if you don't graduate you will feel pain. Why pain? Well because you didn't put much effort towards your 4 years of high school. You have to try really, really hard to achieve your major goals in life that's how you are able to succeed but if you don't try you'll be in so much pain you'll regret not putting much effort. So just try. Choose The Right! :)

5. Don sit in the back of the room. Successful students minimize classroom distractions that interfere with learning.

Students want the best seat available for their entertainment dollars, but willing seek the worst seat for their educational dollars. Students who sit in the back cannot possibly be their professor’s teammate (see no. 4). Why do they expose themselves to the temptations of inactive classroom experiences and distractions of all people between them and their instructor? Of course, we know they chose to sit in the back of the classroom because they seek invisibility or anonymity, both of which are antithetical to efficient and effective learning. If you are wasting your time push your hot buttons is there something else you should be doing with your time.

6. …take good notes. Successful students take notes that are understandable and organize, and review them often.

Why put something into your notes you don’t understand? Ask the questions now that are necessary to make your notes meaningful at some later time. ………

“The Time Is Always Right To Do What Is Right”    

-Martin Luther King, Jr.

3. Ask questions. Successful students ask questions to provide the quickest route between ignorance and knowledge you seek, asking questions has at least two other extremely important benefits. The process helps you pay attention to your professor and helps your professor pay attention to you! Think about it. If you want something, go after it. Get the answer now, or fail a question later. There are no foolish questions, only foolish silences. It’s your choice.

4. ...learn that a student and professor make a team. Most instructors want exactly what you want: they would like for you to learn the material in their respective classes and earn a good grade.

Successful students reflect well on the efforts of any teacher; if you have learned your material, the instructor takes some justifiable pride in teaching. Join forces with your instructor, they are not an enemy, and you share the same interests, the same goals – in short, your teammates. Get to your professor. You’re the most valuable players on the same team. Your jobs are to work together for mutual success. Neither wishes to chalk up a losing season. Be a team player!

“I know only that what is moral is what you feel good after and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.”

-Ernest Hemingway

What he is trying to say is that is moral you are doing pure good because moral is the principle of right or wrong and knows the goodness or badness of a human character but immoral is more bad than good. What you want to do is based on you but CHOOSE THE RIGHT and don’t be immoral. J

English, math, foreign language tips: PRACTICE --especially foreign language. It is hard to succeed in a foreign language class if you are just showing and doing the work. But if you are in your room and look objects and try to say them in the language you are learning it actually helps. Or if you send a simple text to a friend think about it, can you translate that to German or Spanish? These are the little things that will help.

Here are my final words of wisdom for students who want to get better grades in college: time management and organization are critical key factors to success in college and never be afraid to go ask your teacher for help. They have office hours for reasons use them!
