“Honesty is the cornerstone of character. The honest man or women seeks not merely to avoid criminal or illegal acts, but to be scrupulously fair, upright, fearless in both action and expression. Honesty pays dividends both in dollars and in peace of mind.”-B.C. Forbes

Reflection: I think this quote means you hone to be honest to people so that you can have their trust in you and you won’t need to work hard because you have their trust with honesty. Also that when one has honesty that’s all you need for you to be reliable because if you are like this people will admire you because of your action. If you weren’t people wouldn’t want you around because you probably wouldn’t be loyal.

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.

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 write 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 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 smalls 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

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 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 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

Reflection: This to me means that all this is about Action of one doing things that are good and will benefit you forever. Not something that will be there some-time and you can’t keep because it could go and leave. Rather than something you could keep all your life than something that will be there only a while.
