“You make your habits and

your habits make you.’’

ANON

This statement means that you decide how you want to live your life. Sometimes it’s hard to make a good habit but we have to try hard to accomplish it and make it a habit. For example doing your homework right after school is a good habit because than later you can spend your free time doing something productively rather doing your homework because you were smart about it and did it right after you got home. Another example can be helping you mom every certain day to do chores. Doing small productively things can become a habit and you choose whether it’s a good habit or a bad habit. You have to learn to differentiate from good and bad. Making good habits will make your life much easier, always choose the right and you will not have regrets whatsoever. 

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

7 Habits of Highly Successful Teens

By: Sean Covey

For teens, life is not a playground, it’s a jungle. And, being the parent of a teenager isn’t walk in the park, either. In his book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, author Sean Covey attempts to provide “a compass to help teens and their parents navigate the problems they encounter daily.”

How will they deal with peer pressure? Motivation? Success or lack thereof? The life of a teenager is full of thought issues and life-changing decisions.  As a parent, you are responsible to help them learn the principles and ethics that will help them reach their goals and live a successful life.

While it’s all well and good to tell kids how to live their lives, “teens watch what you do more than they listen to what you say,” Covey says. So practice what you preach. Your example can be very influential.

Covey himself has done well by following a parent’s example. His dad, Stephen Covey, wrote the book The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People, which sold over 15 million copies. Sean’s a chip off the old block; and no slacker. His own book has rung in a more than respectable 2 million copies sold. Here are his seven habits, and some ideas for helping your teen understand and apply them:

Work together. There are a number of ways that you can ensure you get the most out of your educational experience. First, participate fully. Engage regularly in the discussions and be willing to share your personal, professional and educational experiences. You can get to know your classmates through the dialogue that is created in a course environment—sometimes even better than in a face-to-face class. And the same goes for your instructor. Be sure to contact your professor—especially if you are having problems. He/she is still your instructor and will be there to guide and assist you as needed.

“It’s not WHERE you live that counts. It’s not where you play the game but HOW you play the game that counts”

Mr.Haymore

This statement means that when you do something it doesn't matter where it is or how it is, what matters is you and how you do it. Sometimes people say that you can be a better person if you live in a certain area or what school you attend to, but my parents have always taught me that it doesn't matter what school you go to because if you are the type of person that is willing to succeed you will take advantage of all the opportunities that life brings you. Of course we have to be smart by choosing friends that are willing to succeed like you as well. Another example would be in sports, it doesn't matter where you play because as long as you are good at it that shouldn't matter to you.

A successful student…

…takes responsibility for his/her own learning

Online learning can be a powerful, stimulating engaging experience for the student who can work and think independently. However, since most—if not all—of the learning takes place on your own time, you will not have the kind of direct supervision you would in a classroom. Online learning therefore requires a significant commitment from you. All education comes down to what you’re willing to invest in the experience—this is particularly true in the online environment. Commitment, self-discipline and self-motivation are all key qualities to ensuring success in an online course!

… is comfortable and confident with written communication

Reading and writing are the basis of most online courses, so it’s critical that you feel comfortable with this form of communication. While some courses contain modules that include videos or other activities, all of them required significant amounts of reading. And nearly all of your communication with your classmates and your instructor will be in writing. If these are weak areas for you, you will want to a dress those issues prior to enrolling or while enrolled in an online course. The PSU writing Center is available to assist you.

…is willing to be a member of an online community.

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 their 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 academic harder on yourself than it has to be. Stop procrastinating. And wait until tomorrow to do it!

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