“The Importance of Good Sportsmanship"

 

I think that good sportsmanship is important because it helps people learn how to play by the rules. If people play by the rules then nothing can go wrong. Sometimes when it is time for people to contribute with others they have to know how to be fair and work with others. In life people will need to know how to work with others because they will need for others to help them out. Some people do not like it when they work with others because they don’t like playing by the rules. Well people have to learn how to be fair because at some point a time will come when they will have to work with others and if they don’t they are going to be in big trouble.

Student Responsibility part 3

  Student Responsibility

                   Part 3

What is important to you is that you, as you start to reach milestones in your ambition, you appreciate your own achievements. It is a boost, of course, if others appreciate what you have done too, but appreciating yourself will strengthen your self-belief, and reinforce your determination to succeed.

Some of the key characteristics you will find in those who are successful are perseverance, prepared to research, plan and work hard, practice a lot even when things do not seem to be going well, and an ability to recover and learn from setbacks. At the outset of whatever it is you are trying to succeed in, a strong vision of your future, planning, and setting yourself achievable targets can all play an important role.

If you feel you do not naturally have all those characteristics, then do not despair. Each of them can be accomplished by your own application. You can use meditation and visualization techniques to initiate your vision, and they can certainly be learnt both for that purpose and for each step you take to reach your goals. Setting goals and objectives can be a personal or business technique that can be learnt. You can develop inner strength to succeed if you apply yourself to doing just that; that will enable you to recover from setbacks more easily.

Students: These are YOUR Responsibility!

Students have the right to seize the responsibility for their own destiny and should be encouraged to do so. With every right comes responsibility!

1.  I have responsibility to come to every class prepared to listen, to participate, and to learn.

2.  I have the responsibility to read the text carefully, noting important ideas and rephrasing concepts in my own world.

3.  I have the responsibility to work examples in the textbook and those given in class.

4.  I have the responsibility to consult other students, the teacher, an assistant, and other resources whenever I need the extra help.

5.  I have the responsibility to understand that the teacher is not primarily responsible for making me understand, but that is my job to study and to learn.

6.  I have the responsibility of keeping an open mind and trying to comprehend what the teacher is trying to get across.

7. Successful students understand that actions affect learning. Successful students know their personal behavior affect their feelings and emotions that in turn can affect learning.

If you act in a certain way that normally produces particular feelings, you will begin to experience those feelings. Act like you’re bored, and you’ll become bored. Act like you’re disinterested, and you’ll become disinterested. So he next time you have trouble concentrating in the classroom, “act” like an interesting person: lean forward, place your feet flat on the floor, maintain eye contact with the professor, nod occasionally, take notes, and ask questions, not only will you benefit directly from your actions, your classmates and professor may also get more excited and enthusiastic.

8. Successful students talk about what they’re learning. Successful students get to know something well enough that they can put to into words. Talking about something, with friends or classmates, is not only good for checking whether or not you know something, it’s a proven learning tool. Transferring ideas into words provides the most direct path for moving knowledge from short-term or long-term memory. You really don’t “know” material until you can put it into words. So, the next time you study, don’t do it silently. Talk about notes, problems, reading, etc. With friends, recite to a chair, organize an oral study group, pretend you’re teaching your peers. “Talk-learning” produces a whole host of memory traces that results in more learning.

4. Successful students learn that a student and a teacher make a team. Most teachers want exactly what you want: they would like for you to learn the material in their respective classes and earn a good grade.

Successful students reflect well on the efforts of any teacher; if you have learned your material, the instructor takes some justifiable pride in teaching. Join forces with your instructor, they are not an enemy, and you share the same interest, the same goal-in short, you’re teammates. Get to know your professor. You’re the most valuable players on the same team. Your jobs are to work together for mutual success. Be a team player!

5. Successful students don’t sit in the back. Successful students minimize classroom distracters that interfere with the learning. Students want the best seat available for their entertainment dollars, but willingly seek the worst seat for their educational dollars.

Students who sit in the back cannot possibly be their teacher’s teammate (see #4). Why do they expose themselves to the temptations of the inactive classroom experiences and the distractions of all the people between them and their instructor? Of course we know they choose the back of the classroom because they seek invisibility.

Successful Students part 1

  Successful Students

                       Part 1

Successful students exhibit a combination of successful attitudes and behaviors as well as intellectual capacity. Successful students

1.  Successful students are responsible and active. Successful students get involved in their studies, accept responsibility for their own education, and are active participants in it!

Responsibility means control. It’s the difference between leading and being led. Your own efforts control your grade, you earn the glory or deserve the blame, you make the choice. Active classroom participation improves grades without increasing study time. You can sit there, act bored, daydream, or sleep. Or, you can actively listen, think, question, and take notes like someone in charge of their learning experience. Either option costs one class period. However, the former method will require a large degree of additional work outside of the class to achieve the same degree of learning the latter provides at the sitting. The choice is yours.

 

2.  Successful students have educational goals. Successful students have legitimate goals and are motivated by what they represent in the terms of career aspiration and life’s desires. Ask yourself these questions: What am I doing here? Why have I chosen to be sitting here now? Is there some better place I could be? What does my presence here mean to me? Answers to these questions represent your “Hot Buttons” and are, without a doubt, the most important factors of your success as a college student.

Characteristics of a successful student

Characteristics of a Successful

                Student

http://academic.cuesta.edu/acasupp/as/201.HTM

Many students do not know what it takes to be successful in the education environment. They understand good and bad grades in a general way, and they sense that they should attend classes, but that is where their knowledge begins and ends.

Most instructors know what a good student is – and is not. For one thing, a good student is not necessarily the most intelligent individual in the class.

The following is a list of some characteristics of a good student. This list is a description of what a hard-working student does and what a teacher likes to see. By learning these characteristics, you may better understand the day-to-day and class-to-class behavior of successful students. The idea is to provide you with guidelines you can follow which will help you get down to the business of becoming a serious, successful student.

 

1.    Successful students attend classes regularly. They are on time. They listen and train themselves to pay attention. If they miss a session, they feel obligated to let the instructor know why before class begins, if possible, and their excuses are legitimate and reasonable.

44. They don’t rationalize failure. While many are talking about their age, their sore back, their lack of time, their poor genetics, their ‘bad luck’, their nasty boss and their lack of opportunities (all good reason to fail), they are finding a way tom succeed despite all their challenges.

45. They have an off switch. They know how to relax, enjoy what they have in their life and have fun.

46. Their career is not their identity, it’s their job. It’s not who they are, it’s what they do.

47. They are more interested in effective than there are in easy. While the majority look for the quickest, easiest way (the shortcut), they produce the best results over the long term.

Reflection On Video

  Ian caught a ball that a little kid dropped and he gave it back to him. He thought the right thing to do was to give him what belonged to him. 

 

Reflection:

Ian did the right thing in giving the little boy the ball back that he actually was supposed to get. The little boy got the ball first but he dropped it, then Ian got it after but he knew the ball really belonged to the little boy and he gave it back to him. At the end of the day Ian got rewarded for doing the right thing. He only wanted to make the little boy feel better but he got a lot more than that. (He got an autographed baseball bat, a contract to go to other games for free, and a few other things.)

35. The keep themselves in shape physically, not to be mistaken with the training for the Olympics or being obsessed with their body. They understand the importance of being physically well.

21. They don’t believe in, or wait for fate, destiny, chance or luck to determine or shape their future. They believe in, and are committed to actively and consciously creating their own best life.

22. While many people are reactive, they are proactive. They take action before they have to.

23. They are more effective than most at managing their emotions. They feel like we all do but they are not slaves to their emotions.

24. They are good communicators and they consciously work at it.

25. They have a plan for their life and they work methodically at turning that plan into a reality. Their life is not a clumsy series of unplanned events and outcomes.

26. Their desire to be exceptional means that they typically do things that most won’t. They become exceptional by choice. We’re all faced with life-shaping decisions almost daily. Successful people make the decisions that most won’t and don’t.

27. While many people are pleasure junkies and avoid pain and discomfort at all costs, successful people understand the value and benefits of working through the tough stuff that most would avoid.

28. They have identified their core values (what is important to them) and they do their best to live a life which is reflective of those values.

29. They have balance. While they may be financially successful, they know that terms money and success are not interchangeable. They understand that people who are successful on a financial level only, are not successful at all. Unfortunately we live in a society which teaches that money equals success. Like many other things, money is a tool. It’s certainly not a bad thing but ultimately; it’s just another resource. Unfortunately, too many people worship it.

30. They understand the importance of discipline and self-control. They are strong. They are happy and take the road less travelled.

14. They innovate rather than imitate.

15. They don’t procrastinate and they don’t spend their life waiting for the ‘right time’.

17. They are glass half full people- while still being practical and down-to-earth. They have an ability to find the good.

8.  They don’t blame (what’s the point?). They take complete responsibility for their actions and outcomes (or lack thereof).

9.  While they are not necessarily more talented than the majority, they always find a way to maximize their potential. They get more out of themselves. They use what they have more effectively.

Key to Successful Living- Part 4

     Keys to Successful Living

                                      Part 4

What is personality? The word “personality” comes from the root persona, which means “mask.” Our personality is a mask that we wear. We don’t have to wear a mask when we are by ourselves; we wear a mask to express ourselves to others. Our personality is a character, and that character is composed of certain habits. Each of us has numerous habits; so when we want to understand our personality, we should understand our habit patterns. A habit pattern is a conscious thought or action that one repeats again and again. This creates a groove in the unconscious mind and forms an unconscious habit. Unconscious habits are stronger than conscious habits. All habit patterns are self-created. When we sit down and try to understand which of our habits to control our lives, we see that there are many deep-routed habits within us.

Choose habits that will mold your personality into a super successful student and person. Successful people are happier because they are fulfilling the measure of their creation, doing what they are born to do, and that is to win honorably.

Key to Successful Living: Part 3

        Keys to Successful Living

                                                                 Part 3

                                                        (Anon)

We should understand our capacities and potentials, and then we should express ourselves in the external world with full confidence, acting without any reservations. Thus there are three steps to performing an action: first, forming an opinion within ourselves; second, expressing our opinion to others; and third, executing our opinion in action.

 

Understand Habit Patterns

The main thing that one should learn in life—and it is not taught in the home or in the schools— is self-analysis. We should learn to analyze ourselves. If we really want to understand ourselves, we can analyze our personality by understanding our habit patterns. This is not difficult. We should simply try to be consciously aware of every action we perform and realize that our actions are virtually our thoughts. Without thought there can be no action. Habit patterns and thoughts are revealed through behavior. There is a branch of psychology called behaviorism that is based on this concept.
