“Honesty is the cornerstone of character. The honest man or women 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 dollar and in peace of mind.”

B.C Forbes

(A Scottish financial journalist and author who founded Forbes Magazines).

This statement is conveying how in order to live life in a peaceful manner we have to be honest, not only to other people but also to ourselves. In order for one to be honest with other people the first step is to be honest to yourself because if you’re not honest with yourself you won’t be able to be honest with other people.

Honesty is always the best policy. Employers need to know that they can trust you with everything from company credit cards to trade secrets. How can you work at honesty? You demonstrate integrity every day that you do your own homework and resist the temptation to cheat on exams.

“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-Coach, 2 World Championship-Player, 2 High School Championship-Player)

This statement is conveying how in order to have a better life you have to stop worrying about things in that precise moment the only thing that matters is what you’re doing at that precise moment. Why worry about other things when you can focus in doing at that moment. A great example would be being in a sport I think many students even I myself tend to feel not so good at all when we lose in something we feel like we aren’t the best instead of focusing in that moment and actually enjoying what you’re doing.

Time Management 8 of 10

Time Management

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 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

This statement is conveying how if you want to stay in a safe place, the only thing that will get you there will be truth, you can rely in truth to be in a safe place. A good example would be when it comes to school if you’re not being honest to yourself you’re not relying upon being in a safe ground, however if you manage to “want” to be in a safe ground all you have to do is not lie to yourself anymore because when you do that you’re only harming yourself.   

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 client or white e-mails.

John Wooden, UCLA’s former great basketball coach who lead his teams 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 pursuit. He even paid attention to how his players 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; therefore, pay attention to details and you will experience substantial progress in your overall educational attainment.

“Everyone is the architect of their own learning.”

Claudius

This statement states how your learning only depends upon yourself because if you don’t try to make it right nobody else will. Everything is at your own will if you’re not going to risk it the chances are low because as stated before nobody else will do it for you. Everything we do it’s because we make our own actions, don’t just sit there expecting that somebody will come and just do it for you; you have to be willing in putting some effort into your life if you want to succeed.
