Personal Development Quote

- Thomas Carlyle

"A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder." 

Attribute:
Goal 

Reflection:
This quote has basically most to do with a goal. It is very similar to a quote i researched:
"Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible."

Tony Robbins

Therefore it means that how are you going to do or create something when you have no expectation out of it or lets say no plan. So like living a live without a purpose or a meaning yet, having no direction or destination to go to. Therefore the purpose for one to have a life is to have a plan so you can make sure you have the steps ready to get there. Like Buddha once said "one who knows" if you know how to get there and all the steps your in the right path because those are goals. For example: Lets say you have as a goal to pass an exam. There already your goal is set and done which one should always have. Now since you have a goal it is a motivation for you to initiate steps on how you will accomplish a goal. One step leads to another its just for you to comprehend that and acknowledge you have to put effort in it.

This quote relates to our life planning goals because we all have things we want to accomplish and do in life therefore we have goals set for us.

Time Management

8 of 10

Master the moments and you may be a real pro when it comes to juggling the many demands on your time—classes, homework and activities—with some family help. College gives you an even bigger chance to sharpen your time management skills by doing it all on your own. And that’s a good thing since most jobs require multitasking. You might need to take care of current clients while attracting new ones, respond to e-mails while working on a major presentation, or order tomorrow’s produce while planning next week’s menu.

Someone said, “Wherever you are, be there.” Focus on the present moment and give it all your attention. Don’t let your mind drift and wander here and there when you need to be thinking and concentrating on the moment at hand. You can’t go back and recapture this moment, so make the most of it while it NOW. Master the present and you will master the future. Work smart by mastering the present moment.

“Stop worrying about whether you’re going to win or lose and focus your full attention on what’s happening right this moment.”-Phil Jackson

Reflection: This to me means that for one to stop worrying about the future and focus on today because what you do today will affect your future. Whether it be bad or good but you decide how today will be for tomorrow. For example if I have a test tomorrow and I’m frightened about my results if I stop doing this I will have time to study, and study to get enough information on what the test will be. And depending on how good I study will determine my scores.

Teamwork Skills

3 of 10

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.

Together

Everyone

Achieves

More

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.

Speaking Skills

2 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 on 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 results if you can speak persuasively, smoothly and intelligently.

 “Gold medals don’t make champions… the hard work does.” –ANON

Reflection: This to me means that a reward, certificate, medal, etc. doesn't make the winner but the effort the handwork that the person put into it. So many people don’t realize this because they thing that in order to be a winner they have to get some kind of reward out of it but in reality the reward is that you tried every way possible to get what you want, or where you are at. It’s not always about the outcome but what you did to get there!!

Tip 5: Keep a list of questions

When you feel confused about something you’re reading, write down any questions you have. Sometimes your questions are answered as you read further. If not don’t be afraid to ask for help. Remember, teachers create assignments; they've read the texts are familiar with them. When you have a specific question, your teachers can provide answers that will help you better understand the material. Learning is rooted in questions developed and asked by the learner.

Asking questions to yourself, to the teacher, and to others, is a great learning method. When you cease to ask questions, you cease to exist to a great extent. Read actively by silently asking questions as you read. Questioning immerses you into material you are reading and therefore will expand your mental capacities more than almost anything else.

The philosopher Sir Francis Bacon said,” Knowledge is power.” Improving your reading comprehension is the key to gaining important knowledge and making the most of your education. So pick up a book… and a pen.
