“Honesty is the cornerstone of character. The honest man or woman 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.”


 This statement is saying that honesty is the foundation of your life. And if you avoid doing the wrong things, that will lead you to be dishonest. Being honesty pays off at the end of the day because it gives you a clear conscience and peace at mind.

“Stop worrying about whether you’re going to win or lose and focus your full attention on what is happening right this moment''

I think this quote means not to worry on what is going to happen because if you do you worry about other things and you should just stay within that moment so you don’t lose that concentration that you have with you.

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 even bigger chance to sharpen your time management skills by going 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.

Attention Detail

7 of 10

When you double check your calculations for math problems or cite source carefully in a research paper, you’re paying close attention to detail. That skill comes in handy in any work place, whether you’re maintaining a database, keep a log of the hours you spend with clients or write email.

          John wooden, UCLA’s former great basketball coach who led his team 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 purist.  He even paid attention to how his player would lace up and tie their shoe strings. If they didn’t tie them correctly, he would teach them how.

          Detail may be small things, but form small things to details 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 test. 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 situation. You could someday find yourself meeting tight deadlines, speaking with irate customers, welding a scalpel or handing dangerous chemicals.

The best way to curtail pressure to even eliminate it is to prepare. Apply 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 coolness under pressure is sure to abound.

“Start with what is right rather than what is acceptable.”



 I think this quote means to what you know you can do rather than do what you want to do. Like on a project you want to put the best work in the project so you could get the best results rather than do a project with the work that you know should be in there.What this is trying to say is that some things might be accepted but it doesn’t mean there right all the time  

Initiative

5 of 10

Initiative is creating, 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 course through projects, employees who are self-relentless. Self-relentless people are self-starters who don’t procrastinate on getting the job done. They know what is required and do it. They don’t wait to be told many times. Success in high school, college, and in the career world is taking the initiative.

Problem-Solving 4 of 10

Problem-solving skill

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 its fixing a bug in a computer program or overcoming budget shortfalls. Problem solving situations occur extensively and frequently; therefore, be ready when then come.

When problem or challenges occur, some people look at them any negative experience, as a crisis. These are the people who live day by day with gloom and negativism in their attitudes. But the really successful people, those who cheerful and optimistic, are those who look at problems as  opportunities, opportunities to learn, grow, expand their horizon , and make new discoveries. They look on the bright side of things and live happy lives.

Teamwork skills

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 you opinion, listening and responding to others, and reaching compromises. By the time you leave college, you can be an expert in this important workspace skill.

You synergize you talents, knowledge, and skills with those whom you work. All members of the team are edified together, a type of education you can’t obtain by working alone.

“The man who has no imagination has no wings.”

-Muhammad Ali  

I think this quote means if you don’t think of what you can do then with won't come true without the imagination you need. If you don’t try you won’t get anywhere so you have to think of what could happen to you if you do try.This means if you do think or at least have ideas of what you want to do or be then what’s the point of having those thoughts if you don’t put a little imagination in them .

Speaking Skills 2 of 10

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 people. Far above the fear of death and disease, comes the fear of standing in front of a crowd. Joel Wiener 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


 This statement means persistence is the most important thing you should have. Having talent or being really smart will not overcome being persistent. As long as you try your best at everything you want to achieve you can accomplish it just as easily. 

Writing Skills
1-10
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 patient 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.
