Student Success Statement

The Three Don’ts

Don’t Whine

Don’t Complain

Don’t Make Excuses

John Wooden

I think that these three don'ts are trying to say not to blame something else for your own mistakes. Sometimes people do something wrong, and they start to blame other things so that it won't seem as if they did something wrong. John Wooden is trying to say that people should whine, complain, or make excuses for something that is little  even something that is big.

Successful Students 10

Successful Students 10

10. Successful Students are good time managers. Successful students do not procrastinate. They have learned that time control is life control and have consciously chosen to be in control of your life.

An elemental truth: you will either control time or be controlled by it! It’s your choice: you can lead or be led, establish control or relinquish control, steer your own course or follow others. Failure to take control of their own time is probably the no. 1 study skills problem for college students. It ultimately causes many students to become non-students! Procrastinators are good excuse-makers. Don’t make academics harder on yourself than it has to be. Stop procrastinating. And don’t wait until tomorrow to do it!

The 10 items listed above are paraphrased from an article by Larry M Ludewig called Ten Commandments for Effective Study Skills which appeared in The Teaching Professor, December 1992.
