“ It is our duty to concentrate all our influence to make popular that which is sound good, and (to make) unpopular that which is unsound (and not good).”

Joseph Smith

Well this statement I really don’t understand because its saying that our influence affects us in two different ways because if you choose the right it sounds good to most people that don’t want to see you mess up. Also the people who choose the wrong it sounds bad because no one wants to fall into a category were people make some stupid remarks about them.

·       One example of how popular good sounds like is if you over come any kind of addiction

·       One example of how unpopular bad sound is if you keep on cursing in places you shouldn’t and you don’t learn form your mistakes.

9. … Don’t cram for exams. Successful students know that divided periods of study are more effective than cram sessions, and they practice it.

If there is one thing that study skills specialist agree on, it is that distributed study is better than massed, late-night , last-ditch efforts know as cramming. You’ll learn more, remember more, and earn a higher grade by studying in four, one hour-a-night sessions for Friday’s exam than studying for four hours straight on Thursday night. Short, concentrated preparatory efforts are more efficient and rewarding than wasteful, inattentive, last moment marathons. Yet, so many students fail to learn this lesson and end up repeating it over and over again until it becomes a wasteful habit. Not too clever, huh?

When you cram, you are taking the shortcuts never produced any real worthwhile results. Also, when you take shortcuts, you feel rather rotten knowing that you could have done better but didn’t. shortcuts cut you short. You cant plant watermelon seeds and harvest fresh watermelons the next day. It takes time. Cramming for a test or project doesn’t help you academically, so why even do it. Plan ahead, prepare ahead. Give yourself plenty of days weeks to prepare for upcoming accountable opportunities.

Choose the right!!  !!

“ What’s right isn’t always popular. What’s popular isn’t always right.”

Howard Cosell

What this means is that the people you hang around with aren’t going to make you popular it’s if you choose the right when you are hanging around with those popular kids. Also if you hang around with the wrong crowd you are unpopular because all there going to do is get you into trouble.

One example of what happened to me last week on Friday for hanging with the crowd the principal and the school police officer searched us and they had things that they were not supposed to have and for me the same that day they gave me and the too kids I got caught with each a ticket for choosing the wrong.

5. Don’t sit in the back of the room. Successful students minimize classroom distractions that interfere with learning.

Students want the best seat available for their entertainment dollars, but willingly seek the worst seat foe their educational dollars. Students who sit in the back cannot possibly be their professors teammate (see no. 4). Why do they expose themselves to the temptations of inactive classroom because they seek invisibility or anonymity , both of which are antithetical to efficient and effective learning. If you are trying not to be part of the class , why, then, are you wasting your time ? push your hot, buttons is there something you should be doing with your time?

6 …. Take good notes. Successful students take notes that are understandable and organized, review them often.

Why put something into your notes you don’t understand? Ask the question now that are necessary to make your notes meaningful at some time later. A short review of your notes while the material is still fresh on your mind helps you to learn more. The more you learn then, the less you’ll have to learn later and less time It will take because you wont have include some deciphering time, also. The whole purpose of taking notes is to use them, and use them often. The more you use them, the more they improve.

Choose the right!!!

“The time is always right to do what is right.”

Martin Luther King, Jr.

What this means is that if you are choosing the right then it’s the right time that you are doing good and if you are doing something wrong then it is the time when you are not choosing the right. Also this means that people who choose the right they are always on time by doing what is right.

3. … Ask questions. successful students ask questions to provide the quickest route between ignorance and knowledge. In addition to securing knowledge you seek, asking questions has at least two other extremely important benefits. The process helps you pay attention to your professor and helps your professor pay attention to you! Think about it. If you want something, go after it. Get the answer now, or fail a question later. There are no foolish questions, only foolish silence. Its your choice.

4. … learn that a student and a professor make a team. Most instructors 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, you share the same interests, the same goals- in short, your 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. Neither wishes to chalk up a losing season. Be a team player!!!

Choose the Right!!!!!

“ I know only that what is moral is what you feel good after and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.”

Ernest Hemingway

My reflection to this statement is that if you do good you will have a state of mind that’s moral and there is sometimes that people do bad that have immoral perspectives.
