“Truth is the only safe ground

Reflection: I think this means always say the truth because later

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 clients or write 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 said 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 come great thins; therefore, pay attention to
details and you will experience substantial progress
in your overall educational attainment.

Cool Under Pressure 6 of 10

Cool Under Pressure
6 of 10
Very few students enjoy taking tests. Yet
functioning well under pressure is crucial to your
future success. Try thinking of the pressure of
testing as practice for the work world’s own
explosive situations. You could someday find
yourself meeting tight deadlines, speaking with irate
customers, wielding a scalpel or handling dangerous
chemicals.
The best way to curtail pressure and to even
eliminate it is to prepare. Applying the motto “Be
Prepared” holds true first time and every time.
Prepare for that test, and you won’t worry about it.
In fact, it will be your chance to shine, to reveal the
hard work you have put into preparing for the test.
You will be rewarded for the effort you have thrust
into your studies. Preparation removes fear. When
you are prepared, you will not fear. Preparation
helps you maintain you cool under pressure.
Preparation generates energy and enthusiasm;
therefore, prepare and your coolness under pressure
is sure to abound.

Initiative 5 of 10

Initiative
5 of 10
Initiative is creativity, inventiveness, originality,
ingenuity, imagination. Every time you respond in
class, time you choose your own research
topic, every time you put together your own
interpretation of a piece of literature, you take
initiative. And future employers value con-do
professionals who came up with new ideas and chart
their own course through projects, employees who
are self-reliant people are self-starters
who don’t procrastinate on getting the job done.
They know what is required to do and do it. They
don’t wait to be told many times. Succeeding in high
school, college, and in the career world id taking the
initiative.

Problem-solving Skills 4 of 10


Problem-solving Skills
4 of 10
Problem solving goes far beyond your math
textbook. Every assignment is an opportunity to
weigh all possible solutions carefully and choose the
one you think is best. As a working professional,
you’ll be solving problems regularly, whether it’s
fixing a bug in a computer program or overcoming
budget shortfalls. Problem solving situations occur
extensively and frequently; therefore, be ready when
then come.
When problems or challenges occur, some people
look at them at negative experiences, as a crisis.
These people are the ones who live day by day with
gloom and negativism in their attitudes. But the
really successful people, those who are cheerful and
optimistic, are those who look at problems as
opportunities, opportunities to learn, grow, expand
their horizons, and make new discoveries. They look
on the bright side of things and live happy lives.

Teamwork Skills

Every time your class breaks into group to tackle a
challenge, you build teamwork skills. In college,
you’ll continue to have these opportunities to
practice voicing your opinions, listening and
responding to others, and reaching compromises. By
the time you leave college, you can be an expert in
this important workplace skill.
Together

Individually you can accomplish a tremendous
amount more. You synergize your talents,

of edification you can’t obtain by working alone.

Speaking Skills 2 of 10


Speaking Skills
2 of 10
When you’re assigned a class presentation, think
twice before dismissing it as an unimportant part of
your education. Employers look for speaking skills
in job applicants, who may have to give
presentations to clients or represent their
organization in the field. It’s never too soon to
practice good eye contact and other public speaking
techniques.

According to the book of lists, the fear of public
speaking ranks number one in the minds of the
majority of people. Far above the fear of death and
disease, comes the fear of standing in front of a
crowd. Joel Weiner noted author and public speaker
wants to help people overcome that fear.

“The biggest fear is public speaking, with 15 percent
of American experiencing a dramatic fear of it,” said
Dr. Michael Telch of the Laboratory for the Study of
Anxiety Disorder (LSAD) in the Department of
Psychology at The University of Texas at Austin.
“People have had to turn down job, and certainly
students have dropped classes because of it.”
Regardless of your occupation, your success
depends a great deal upon your ability to
communicate effectively! Whether you’re running a
meeting, selling a product, making a presentation,
motivating co-workers or just communicating one-
on-one with others, you’ll get far better results if you
can speak persuasively, smoothly and intelligently.

“Nothing in the world can take the place of

Genius will not; the world is full of educated
derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are

Writing Skills


Writing Skills
1 of 10
Communication is at the top of the list of skills that
employers look for. And communication in the
workplace often means writing.
Health professionals keep patient charts, researchers
depend on the money they collect by writing grant
applications, software engineers write technical
specifications, and nearly everyone writes e-mail to
people inside and outside their organization. And
before you even get the chance to interview for a
job, you’ll need to present yourself in cover letters
and resume.
So, by taking writing serious and doing your best on
every research paper, every lab report you write,
every new post you write in your blog site and
every writing activity you engage in, you’re
preparing yourself for a good career.

Finally, look beyond the article for more clues.
·       Read the website’s home page and the About Us
page. Look for a mission statement to learn more
about the site, its purpose and the organization
sponsoring it.
·       If there is an author listed, look for a biography
that discusses the author’s education, profession
and other relevant background. If there is no bio
on the site, search for one elsewhere on the Web.
·       Check the date. Facts can change over time, so
see if the site shows when it was last updated.
·       Presentation counts; looks at everything from
design to spelling. A clean, well-organized site
shows a certain degree of professionalism.
·       Avoid sites that are pornographic, vulgar,
inappropriate, below par, suggestive, and

Read Between the Lines
Make a judgment about the site’s reliability based on
your own analysis of the sites and the information it
contains. Here are some ways to do this:
·       Look for facts you know or can check with a
trusted source. If the site gets those facts right,
it’s more likely that the other facts on the site are
also accurate.
·       Study the language used. Is it angry, satiric or
overly impassioned? This may indicate that the
site is biased.
·       Consider whether the arguments are logical and
backed up by evidence, and whether the site
presents only one point of view.

·       Dot-com is not only for businesses; anyone can

·       Dot-org usually indicates a not-for-profit
organization. Many dot-orgs present unbiased

focus on debatable issues instead of facts, and
might not present all sides of an argument.
·       Dot-gov indicates a government websites at the
federal, state or local level. The federal
government is a good source of statistics, and its
sites are widely considered among the most
reliable.
·       Dot-mil is used by sites that are part of the

Who wrote the web page? If you can’t identify the individual or
organization responsible for the information, don’t use it.
·       What are the author’s qualifications for writing on the subject?
·       Has the article passed through an editorial process designed to ensure
qualify and accuracy?
·       What is the website’s purpose? Look for motives – like selling
products or winning votes – that could result in biased or incomplete
information.
·       Is the information accurate? Is it up-to-date?

Using the web wisely
Thanks to the web, information is easy to find. However, it’s also easy to
post something online.  Anyone can do it.
You’ve probably used the internet to do research for a paper, to help you
decide which product to buy, or to form an opinion about current events.
Looking up information online is fast and convenient. But when you do
online research, it’s important to find sites you can trust.
Many websites claim to have the facts, but are full of errors. Others
present information in a biased way – they only give one side of an
argument. How can you tell a reliable source from an unreliable one?
Appropriate, never anything pornographic, vulgar, indecent, out of taste,
untruthful, or obscene. Post those things that will make a good name for
you and your organization, that will promote goodwill and be of benefit to
the world.
