Attention to Detail 7-10

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.

5 Tips For Staying Motivated (Tips 3-5)

3. SET ATTAINABLE GOALS
If you're having trouble writing a 25-page paper for class because it seems like such a big job, don't focus on that final number. Break the paper down and consider each section of your paper individually.You can handle any project in small chunks.
4. FIND A SOCIAL SUPPORT NETWORK
Create a group of people around you who want to help you succeed. Mentors can be teachers or family friends who can give you guidance and help you develop new skills. Counselors can help you with planning your courses and starting to explore colleges. You can also reach out to friends and peers who can motivate you by listening and sharing ideas.
5. ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Give yourself a quick reward when you complete an assignment or task. Take a walk, send an email, get a snack. Then move on to the next project.

SSS: "I think its better to do right, even if we suffer in so doing, than to incur the reproach of our consciences and postperity."
BY: Robert E. Lee
REFLECTION: i agree witht this statement because its saying that it may hurt to tell the truth, but its better to be honest than to lie for the rest of you life. they may not be mad at you if you lie to them, but they will be mad at you forever when they find out that you've been lying this whole time. so i say its better to have them mad at you for a little while than for the rest of your life.
EXAMPLE: lets say you won a medal for having the highest grade on your science exam, but you do not feel like a champion because you cheated on it, therefore, you are thinking of telling the teacher the truth, but youre afraid to let her know, so you hold it in but then you see what it might be like in the future if you hold it in, so therefore, you go up to the teacher afterschool and let her know and she says its okay and that she'll let you retake the test. you retake it and get an 'A' then you feel proud of yourself.

Note-Taking Strategies (Part 2)

Stay by using the main section of your page to take down your notes during class. be sure to leave space on the left side of the page and the bottom. things to keep in mind:

1. get the speaker's main points. dont write down every word you hear.

2. leave blanks in your notes to add explanations later.

3. organize as you write. pay attention to cues such as repetition and emphasis.

4. indicate main and supporting points as you go.

5. jot down key vocabulary, important facts and formulas.
