“Everyone is the architect of their own learning.”

My reflection on this quote is that everyone is responsible for their own learning. Nobody learns for you, they can teach you but it is up to you to learn it. 

Cool under pressure 6 of 10

Cool under pressure

6 of 10

Very few students enjoy taking test. Yet functioning well under pressure is crucial to your future success. Try thinking of the pressure of testing as practice for the work worlds 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 won’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

 My reflection on this quote is there are things that are acceptable but there not right. You have to do the right thing and not do those things; yes they may be acceptable but there not the right thing.  

Initiative 5 to 10

Initiative 5 to 10

Initiative is creativity, inventiveness, originality, ingenuity, imagination. 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 course 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 initiate.

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 budget shortfalls. Problem solving situations occur extensively and frequently; therefore, be ready when then 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, opportunities to learn, grow, expand their horizons, and make new discoveries. They look on the bright side of things and live happy lives.

“Education is a marathon – not a sprint”

Anon

My reflection on this quote is what this person is try to say is that education is really important and you should work hard to get somewhere. Because when you sprint you’re not even trying to win, you’ll just give up. So just pretend you’re in a marathon and work and try your best to win because it is the most important race to win

Every time your class breaks into groups to tackle a challenge, you build teamwork skills. In college, you’ll continue to have these opportunities to practice voicing your opinions, listening and responding to others, and reaching compromises. By the time you leave college, you can be an expert in this important workplace skill.

Individually you can achieve so much, but when you work with others for a common cause, the same objectives, you can accomplish a tremendous amount more. You synergize your talents, knowledge, and skills with those whom you work. All members of the team are edified together, a type of edification you can’t obtain by working alone.

“The man who has no imagination has no wings”

Muhammad Ali  

My reflection on this quote is if you don’t imagine you doing something then you don’t get motivated to do so. Imagination is best way to lighten of your day. Imagination is the way you can imagine you have wings and could fly, image anything you want, imagine what it would be like if you didn't imagine.

Speaking skills

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 you give presentations to clients or present their organization in the field. It’s never too soon to practice good eye contact and other public speaking techniques.

According to the book lists, the fear of public speaking ranks number one in the minds of 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 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 communication one-on-one with others, you’ll get far better result if you can speak persuasively, smoothly and intelligently.

More tips

Finally, look beyond the article for more clues.

·         Red the websites 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, for a biography that discusses the author’s education. Profession and other relevant background. If there is no bio on the site, search for one elsewhere 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.

Dot-what?

Look at the sites address. What follows the dot?

·         Dot-com is not only for businesses; anyone can use it. Dot-coms include well-known and respected companies, but also private individuals.

·         Dot-org usually indicates a not-for-profit organization. Many dot-orgs present unbiased information. But others have political agendas, focus on debatable issues instead of facts, and might not present all sides of an argument.

·         Dot-Gov. indicates a government websites at the federal, state or local level. The federal government is a good source of statistics, and its sites are widely considered among the most reliable.

·         Dot-mil is used by sites that are part of the military.

·         Dot-Edu. Usually indicates a university websites. 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. Professors sometimes put student course work up on the web, but that doesn’t mean they’re vouching for the information’s accuracy.

“Continuous effort, not strength or intelligence, is the key to unlocking our potential.”

Liane cordes

My reflection is that I don’t get what she is trying to say. I understand that you do have to put effort in whatever you choose to do but without strength or intelligence can you do anything? For example if you want to be a doctor and you just put effort and no intelligence you will never make it.

Research with attitude

Conduct your research with the attitude of a skeptic. As you examine websites for clues that they’re trust worthy, ask these questions:

·         Who wrote the web page? If you can’t identify the individual or organization responsible for the information, don’t use it.

·         What are the author’s qualifications for writing on the subject?

·         Has the article passed through an editorial process designed to ensure quality and accuracy?

·         What is the website’s purpose? Look for motives – like selling products or winning votes – that could result in biased or incomplete information.

·         Is the information accurate? It is up-to-date?

·         Where did the author get his information?

“When an archer misses the mark, he turns and looks for the fault within himself. Failure to hit the bulls-eye is ever the fault of the target. To improve your aim, improve yourself.”

Gilbert Arland

 My reflection on this quote is that I think that this quote is true because it’s never the other person or things fault it’s yours because you’re controlling yourself and they are not.  For example if you score an F on a test it is your fault because you are the one that didn’t study. So choose the right people.
