"TRUTH IS THE ONLY SAFE GROUND TO STAND UPON."
ELIZABETH CADY  STANTON


Truth is the only firm ground you can have. A lie is unstable and can tear through and hurt you or ruin everything.The truth will always be the truth and it isn't going to change so it can never hurt you unless the truth hurt originally. You can stand upon a lie but know it could change or flip on you, but in the end the truth is the truth and just the truth. Speak the truth. Write the truth. Be the truth.

Attention to Detail 7 of 10

Attention to Detail

7 of 10

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 database, keep a log of the hours you spend with clients or e-mails.

John Wooden, UCLA’s former great basketball coach who led 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. If they didn’t tie them correctly, he would teach them how. Details may be small things 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 6 of 10

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 a 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 don’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 your cool under pressure. Preparation generates energy and enthusiasm; therefore, prepare and your coolness under pressure is sure to abound.

" START WITH WHAT IS RIGHT RATHER THAN WHAT IS ACCEPTABLE."

PETER F. DRUCKER


You do what's right even if it is not acceptable. Sometimes the right thing to do isn't acceptable. Truthfully what would you do? Do what's right and follow your heart or do what is acceptable but not right? When you do what's right you feel it inside of you even if you know it wasn't acceptable. Like if you win something but give the prize away to someone else which is unacceptable to the rules. You still did right when you gave the prize to someone who wanted it and needed it more.

Initiative 5 of 10

Initiative

5 of 10

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 come up with new ideas and chart their own courses through projects, employees who are self-reliant. Self-reliant people are self-starters 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. Succeeding in high school, college, and in the career world is taking the initiative.

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 when they 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 to learn, grow, expand their horizons, and make new discoveries. They look on the bright side of things and live happy lives.

" THE MAN WHO HAS NO IMAGINATION HAS NO WINGS."

Imagination is the only weapon against reality. When you have imagination you soar and fly to reach your goals. Imagination is the greatest thing anyone could have or use. It'll take you places, it'll make you wonder and think and go for what you believe in and do what you find right. An imagination is endless, it has infinite ideas and thoughts. Without imagination nothing would've been created and to have imagination a really good imagination you have to be creative. When you have imagination you escape to your own world.

Speaking Skills 2 out of 10

Speaking Skills

2 out 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 Book of Lists, the fear of public speaking ranks number one in the 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.

" 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 EDUCATED DERELICTS. PERSISTENCE AND DETERMINATION ALONE ARE OMNIPOTENT. THE SLOGAN 'PRESS ON' HAS SOLVED AND ALWAYS WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEMS OF THE HUMAN RACE."

---- CALVIN COOLIDGE, 30TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES




For example when something bad happens don't think of doing things over or regretting it, cause regrets are always going to be regrets and we can't change the past but we can continue on. Press On. If you can't change what you've done all that's left is to continue and go on will life. Imagine if no one persisted or kept trying.. what world would we live in? Life as we know it, is built on trying and not giving up. If we as humans give up, that leaves us with nothing done or accomplished. Sometimes when it seems like you can't go on, you feel as if there is nothing else you can do, but in the end the only way to truly move on is to get back up and try in the game of life. And you got to keep trying until you beat the game of life.

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 patients 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 writing 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 good career.

Finally, look beyond the article for more clues.

·       Read the website’s home page and the About Us page. Look for a mission statement to learn more about the site, its purpose and the organization sponsoring it.

·       If there is an author listed, look for a biography that discusses the author’s education, profession and other relevant background. If there is not bio on the site, search for one somewhere else on the Web.

·       Check the date. Facts can change over time, so see if the site shows when it was last updated.

·       Presentation counts; look at everything from design to spelling. A clean, well-organized site shows a certain degree of professionalism.

·       Avoid sites that are pornographic, vulgar, inappropriate, below par, suggestive, and falsifying.

Read between the lines

Make a judgment 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 arguments are logical and backed up by evidence and whether the site presents only one point of view.

·       Check links to the sources that the author acknowledges. Scholarly writing, whether in print or online, should include a bibliography.

"THE RIGHT WAY IS NOT ALWAYS THE POPULAR AND EASY WAY. STANDING FOR RIGHT WHEN IT IS UNPOPULAR IS A TRUE TEST OF MORAL CHARACTER."

MARGARET CHASE SMITH

Doing what's right won't always be "cool." Many times you're going to be alone when doing good, and you're going to have to put up with it. Standing alone just makes you independent. You do what you need to do (good) and not care if they don't like it or disapprove. It doesn't make you"uncool" or "cool", it makes you a good person. And if being a good person makes you "uncool" then so be it. Worrying if you're "cool" or "uncool" is truly a waste of time, because i mean there is always going to be someone that thinks you're "cool" and others may think you're "uncool." Just like there is always going to be someone prettier than you and someone uglier. Its just how you look at it i guess. Just be brave, do right, and stand alone.

·       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.

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 decent 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 benefit to the world.

You'll try your hardest to score. So you go on that invisible line of concentration and focus. You can focus on a lot of things. Another example is  if you want to talk to someone, you only look forward to that person and you're objective is to converse with them.  If you keep your focus on that and not let the insecurities on your left or your shyness on your right, weigh you down.
