Attitude
An
attitude is simply the position of the body or way of carrying
oneself. Always have a positive attitude towards your studies no
matter how hard things may get. Remember, 'attitude is a little
thing that makes a big difference' (Winston S. Churchill).
Believe
in yourself and potentials
To
believe is to accept something as being true. Once you believe that
you are an achiever, you will definitely start working towards it
come what may. Exhaust all the potential in you with the belief that
you will indeed succeed. As Nikos Kazantzakis put it, 'in order to
succeed we must first believe that we can. '
Curiosity
Always
have that urge to know new concepts every now and then by asking
questions in class and doing personal investigations. 'The most
important thing is not to stop questioning, curiosity has its own
reason for existing.' (Albert Einstein)
Devote
To
devote is to give one's time, focus one's effort, commit oneself
entirely to a certain matter. In this case, it is devoting to your
academics. Once you devote all these to your academic work, there
will be no reason as to why you don't succeed eventually. 'To be
wholly devoted to some intellectual exercise is to have succeeded in
life' (Robert Louis Stevenson)
Exceptionalize
Have
a list of the do's and don'ts in your life then exceptionalize them.
Exclude factors that may hinder your success and focus on those that
add value to your success progress. 'To every rule, there is an
exception-and an idiot ready to demonstrate it. Don't be the one. '
Friends
Your
friends will always have a supper hand in determining your success.
Keep the wrong friends and they will lead you to your downfall, keep
the right friends and you will surely succeed. 'Each friend
represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they
arrive' (Anais Nin). If you have the wrong friends then you will
have a world of failure and if you keep the right friends then you
will have a world of success.
