“Honesty is the cornerstone of character. The honest man or woman seeks no merely to avoid criminal or illegal acts, but to be scrupulously fair, upright, fearless in both action and expression. Honesty pays dividends both in dollar and in peace of mind.”

I think this means that you shouldn't lie.Honesty is very important. Honesty is being fair. And in the end you will get reward for it. If you lie it will come back and get you, it is better not  to lie. you shouldn't lie in life because one little lie can lead to a big,huge lie maybe even a huge problem, some people that lie even if they try to cover for someone end up in jail.

“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 (11 World Championships)

I think this means that you shouldn't worry about what could happen but what is happening. like for example if you have a test in a class don't worry about what grade you will receive if its a passing grade or not, just worry about finishing the test first.

Time Management 8 of 10

Time Management

8 of 10

Master the moments and you may be 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.

“Truth is the only safe ground to stand upon.”

--Elizabeth Cady Stanton

 I think what this means is-- you cant lie forever, or you cannot depend on your lies/lying. Eventually the truth always comes out, it always catches up to you. when the truth catches up to you, you won't be able to take it back.

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-mails.

            John Wooden, UCLA’s former great basketball coach who led his team to ten consecutive national championships, was asked what he attributes his success to. Among a number of things, he mentioned that paying attention to detail was one of the most important qualities for successful coaching and for high achievement in any worthwhile pursuit. 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.

Details may be small things, but from small things come great things; therefore, pay attention to details and you will experience substantial progress in your overall education attainment.

“Everyone is the architect of their own learning.”

Claudius

I think this quote means that everyone learns at a different pace and also everyone learns differently. For example some people learn and remember better with pictures, while others learn and remember better with reading and formulas and such. Point is that you should be responsible for your learning—not somebody else’s

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 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 than what is acceptable.”

-Peter F. Drucker

Even if something may be acceptable—it still may not be right. You can’t always assume something will be right if It is legal or acceptable. It is always good to make a choice by yourself, you choose if it's right or wrong, because you will be making the choice and it will affect you. like its acceptable to smoke in certain places but the fact that its acceptable-- it doesn't mean its right.

Initiative 5 of 10

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 initiative. And future employers value can-do professionals who come up with new ideas and chart their own course through projects, employers who are self-reliant. Self-reliant on getting the job done, they know what is required to do and do it. They don’t wait to be hold may times. Succeeding in high school, college, and in the career world is taking the initiative.

Problem-Solving Skills 4 of 10

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 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 be ready when then come.

When problems or challenges occur, some people look at them at negative experiences, as a crisis. These people are the ones who live daily 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 love happy lives.

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

Muhammad Ali

 I think that this quote means that people need to try and have imagination so that they can at least try to pursue them. Sometimes all it takes for someone to go far is a little of imagination. Most of the dreams people have today started out in their imganination, people may think imagination is not important but it motivates you to pursue your dreams.

Speaking Skills 2 0f 10

Speaking Skills 2 0f 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, who may have to give presentations 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 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 of the Laboratory for the Study of Anxiety Disorders (LSAD) in the Department of Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. “People have 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, motivation 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 successful 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 US

 i think this means that nothing will ever replace persistence. its persistence or nothing. An example would be, you are a genius or having a talent.  if you don’t persist and put effort into what you do, then there will be no outcome. Now, if you are the best player on the team, but you don’t persist and push yourself every day to do better; then don’t expect to get a scholarship. You can be the best in a certain criteria, but if you don’t work towards it, all that won’t matter. Persistence!

Writing Skills 1 of 10

Writing Skills 1 of 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 chart, researchers depend on the money they collected 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 letter 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.

“To see what is right and not to do it is want of courage.”

Confucius

I think this means that sometimes people know what to do because it’s right but maybe they don’t do it because they think it’s wrong and they need strength to do it. I think that you shouldn’t be afraid of doing the right thing you should simply do it.
