“Continuous effort, not strength or intelligence, is the key to unlocking our potential."
-liane Cordes
Reflection: I think this quote means it’s up to you to unlock what you have inside you and no one can take that away from you. unless You want other people to know your story or life while do what makes it that way .
It’s online, but is it on target?

research with attitude
conduct your research with the attitude of a skeptic. As you examine websites for clues that they’re trustworthy, ask these questions:
• Who wrote the webpage? 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? Is it up-to-date?
• Where did the author get this information?

It’s Online, but is it on Target?
Part 1

Using the Web Wisely
Thanks to the Web, information is easy to find. However, it’s also easy to post something online. Anyone can do it. You've probably used the Internet to do research for a paper, to help you decide which product to buy
, or to form an opinion about current events. Looking up information online is fast and convenient. But when you do online research, it’s important to find sites you can trust. Many websites claim to have the facts, but are full of errors. Others present information in a biased way—they only give one side of an argument. How can you tell a reliable source from an unreliable one? Also, it is critical that you post online only that which is decent and appropriate, never anything pornographic, vulgar, indecent, out of taste, untruthful, or obscene. Post those things that will make a good mane for you and your organization, that will promote goodwill and be of benefit to the world.

“ when an archer misses the mark, he turns and looks for the fault within himself. Failure to hit the bullseye is never the fault of the target to improve your aim, improve yourself.
Don't blame anyone for your bad decisions. Its no ones fault but yours. If your grades are not what you expected them to be don't blame your teacher for that. You're responsible for all your actions , if you don't do your work don't expect get credit for it .

Recite
At the end of each selection, look up from the text and in your own words recite an answer to your question for that selection. Then write down your answer. Be sure to provide examples that support it.
Now repeat the Question, Read, and Recite steps for each section. Then read to find the answer. Finally, recite the answer in your own words and jot it down. The written question and answer can help you study in the future.
Review
After completing the chapter, review your notes. Identify the main points by looking for the most important idea in each selection. Recite or write a brief summary of the assignment.
Review your study notes every week to help you remember the information. When it is time to prepare for your test, you'll find you’ve created an invaluable study guide.

''The first law of success ..... is concentration to bend all the the energies to one point and go to directly to that point looking neither to the right nor the left ''
do what you got to do but do the right the wrong and be postive and stay [postive keep that in mind and give it all when you do something .
Question
as you survey the text, ask a question for each section. Ask what. Why, how, when, who and where questions as they relate to the content. Here’s how you can create questions:
-turn the title, headings and subheadings into questions.
- rewrite the questions at the end of the chapter or after each subheading in your own words.
Write down your questions. Questions can help you pay attention, understand the text better and recall the information more easily later on.
Read
read one section of the chapter at a time, actively looking for an answer to your question for that section. Pay attention to bold and italicized text that authors use to make important points.
Be sure to review everything in the section, including tables, graphs and illustrations – these features can communicate an idea more powerfully than written text.
