Tranquil Under Pressure: 6 of 10

Tranquil Under Pressure
6 of 10

Very few students enjoy taking an exam. Yet functioning well under pressure is crucial to your future success. Attempt to think of the pressure of testing as you practice for the career environment’s chaotic situations. You could someday encounter constricting deadlines, speaking with irate customers, wielding a scalpel, handling dangerous chemicals, etc.

The most adequate manner to curtail under pressure and to eliminate this burden is to prepare. Applying the motto “Be Prepared” is an adequate motto that provides motivation. Prepare for that exam, and you will not have to concern yourself about your score. In fact, it will increase your chances for success, to reveal the amount of effort that you have exerted in order to prepare for the exam. You will be rewarded for the effort that you have thrust into your studies. Preparation removes fear. When you are prepared for a situation it will not be as intimidating when it occurs. Preparation helps you achieve tranquility when under pressure. Preparation generates energy and enthusiasm; therefore prepare and your calmness when under pressure is sure to abound.

“Start with what is right rather than what is acceptable.”
Peter F. Drucker

This is an amazing statement by Peter F. Drucker. Many things are viewed as correct by many, but are morally wrong. What is correct is not what is viewed as correct, but what is morally correct. For example, you are at a school board meeting and the head of the school district wants to reduce the amount of profit that is provided to our schools. For many this seems atrociously evil, but for the employees at the school district this may seem as an “acceptable” action that will ensure their sustainability. Unlike the employees, many of the citizens view this as unacceptable because this will lead to a decline in the conditions of our educational institutions. What the employees should ask themselves is if this decision is morally correct? Which it is definitely not!

Initiative: 5 of 10

Initiative
5 of 10

Initiative can be compared to creativity, inventiveness, originality, ingenuity, and imagination. Every time you respond to a question asked in class, every time you select your own research project, every time you create an interpretation of a piece of literature, you yield initiative. And future employers value responsive professionals who create new ideas and chart their own course through projects, in other words employers who are self-reliant. Self-reliant individuals are self-igniters who do not procrastinate when issued a task. They are well aware of what needs to be completed and prioritize the task. They are responsive and do not need to be reminded about their assignment. Succeeding in high school, a university, and in the career environment requires initiative.

“To be great—concentrate.”
Orison Swett Marden

This is an amazing statement by famous author Orison Swett Marden. To accomplish something you must always concentrate. Everything that seems promising incorporates concentration as its key element. For example, let’s say that Richard wants to pass his end of course examination, but does not concentrate when in class and therefore at the current moment is failing this class. If Richard begins to concentrate and indulge himself in his studies then he will be able to succeed, but it will require concentration which he will discover to be his adversary. Since many know that concentration is the ability to devote your effort into something of your interest no matter what is occurring around you (i.e. reading when everyone while others are disrupting the classroom.) Then why do many find in complicated to concentrate? Concentration is difficult when you have other aspects of your life attempting to prioritize, but if you disregard those aspects/ situations for a short time and prioritize what is of importance then you will succeed.

Problem Solving Skills: 4 of 10

Problem Solving Skills
4 of 10

Problem Solving consists of much more than solving mathematical problems. Every assignment grants you with an opportunity to carefully analyze all possible solutions and select the most reasonable solution. As a working professional, you’ll be solving problems regularly, whether it’s fixing a malfunctioning program in a computer or managing financial problems. Problem solving situations occur extensively and frequently; therefore you must be prepared if a situation arises.

When problems or challenges occur, some individuals negatively view the situation/ as a crisis. These are the individuals that complicate their lives and engulf themselves with negativism. Those really successful individuals on the other hand are very cheerful and optimistic and view problematic situations as opportunities in where they enhance their understanding of how things function and discover something new. They interpret many situations in a positive manner and live joyful lives.

Cross Country!

Cross Country!

I have always enjoyed long distance running and have recently joined the Linda Marquez Cross Country team where I am excelling, always finishing either second (when we just run distance with no obstacle courses, but I am behind my twin) or third (when we climb stairs while running and when we traverse through obstacle courses.) I appreciate my teammates and their effort. In the sixth grade when I was 10 years old in our physical education class we ran the mile for the first time and I was astonished that I was the second one to complete it (behind my twin brother Hugo.) After that I enjoyed and began to run during P.E, but slowed down due to an illness until the 7^th grade where I began to run long distance much more often. When I first entered the Linda Marquez Cross Country team I felt a sense of inexperience because I was not accustomed to a proper training environment since I was accustomed to running for miles at school and during vacation, but I did not consider the obstacle courses and the climbing of stairs, but I am now accustomed and am improving in these aspects and now I am improving on my running speed and endurance. Running long distances almost never proved to be an excruciating activity though it is hard at times it is particularly simple. My fascination in running long distances will never cease to expand.

“Education is a marathon—not a sprint.”
Anonymous

Your education is a long, but worthy figurative marathon because you need to maintain a consistent pace whereas in a sprint you do not because you have used up all of your energy sprinting at your top speed. For example, say a student has been receiving inadequate grades all year and now to raise his grades has to do a lot of extra credit assignments which will tire him therefore leading him to slow down again and not exert the amount of effort he should. If someone maintains the consistent pace then they will be able to succeed in their education because they will sustain enough energy to traverse through their objectives. I myself am a cross country runner and keeping a consistent pace allows me to sustain enough energy to traverse through my objectives while still sustaining enough to sprint when I can, but many sprint form the beginning then slow down then vigorously speed up then drastically decline in speed not exerting the require amount of effort.
