Attention to detail 7 of 10

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-mail.
John Wooden, UCLA's former great basketball coach who leads this 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 a nu worthwhile pursuit. He even paid attention to how his players would lace up and tie their strings. If they didn't tie them correctly, he would teach them how.
Details may be small things, but from small 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 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 of 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 ire to abound.

Initiative: 5 of 10

Initiative is creativity, 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 initiate. And future employers value can-do professionals who came up with new ideas and chart their own course through projects, employees who are self-reliant. Self-reliant people are self-starters who don'r 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 imitative.

Problem-Solving Skills

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 the best. As a working professional, you’ll be solving problems regularly, whether it’s fixing a bug in a computer program or overcoming budget shortfalls. Problem solving situations occur extensively and frequently; therefore, are ready when then come.

When problems or challenges occur, some people look at them 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.

Speaking Skills : 2 of 10

When you're assigned a class presentation  think twice before dismissing it as unimportant part of your education. Employers look for speaking skills in job applicants, w ho 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 List, 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 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 f 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  a meeting, selling a product, making a presentation, motivating co-worker or just communicating one-on-one with others, you'll get far better results if you can speak persuasively, smoothly and intelligently.

Read Between the Lines

Make a judgment about the site’s reliability based on your own analysis of the site and the information it contains. Here are some ways to do this:

·     Look for facts you know or can check with a trusted source. If the site gets those facts right, it’s more likely that the other facts on the site are also accurate.

·     Study the language used. Is it angry, satiric or overly impassioned? This may indicate that the site is biased.

·     Consider whether the arguments are logical and backed up by evidence, and whether the site presents only one point of view.

·     Check the links to the sources that the author acknowledges. Scholarly writing, whether in print or online, 

should include a bibliography.

·       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 the argument.

·       Dot-gov indicates a government website 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 website. While its published research is generally considered very trustworthy anyone associated with the university whether a world renowned scholar or freshman can be given space on its serve. Professors sometimes put student course work on the web but that doesn’t mean they’re vouching for the information accuracy.

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 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 and 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?

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.

Looking up information online is fast and convenient. But when you do online search, 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 on 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 name for you and your organization. That will promote goodwill and be of benefits to the world.
