What every students needs for success!

1. Live the Golden Rule.    Do unto others.....is a guideline we should all follow.                           2. Practice good hygiene.  You really can dress for success ! Habits like brushing you did twice a day and washing your hands regular not only contribute to health, but also lead to routine that give one a sharper appearance. First impressions are powerful and are mostly drived from the way a person looks. 

Like it or not this is true. Start today to ensure you do what it take to leave a lasting good impression.                            3. Always tell the truth. The truth often comes out whether we want it to or not. Lying generally just complicates the situation and makes us look bad. Look at the scandals many of our politicians fall into because they fail to admit the truth. It is much better to just develop the habit for telling the truth even when it is difficult. This will save you a lot of headache and misery in life .                              4. Ask for what you want. Develop the habits of asking for what you want. How else are you doing to get it? It is really that simple. Often when I ask I am amazed at how quickly I get exactly what I wanted. Just give this one or try .If you are a parent teach your children to ask others for what they want. This is truly a behaviour you want to came naturally. It will build confidence and self esteem that will serve your kids forever.                           5. Be a regular reader. Being a good reader is a skill that often separates the good students from those that struggle. Becoming a good leader takes practice. The more you read and are read to, the better you get. Reading has numerous benefits. 

                                   6. Be punctual. Arriving on time is important to one success. People always notice when you are late. It is an indicator of whether you mean what you say and can be trusted. Do not introduce doubt about this into people's mind by showing up later than expected. Create the habit of being punctual now and you won't have to solve worry .                                            7. Respect authority. Failure to respect those in authority position can lead to all kinds of problem in life. It does not matter whether it is your boss, a police officer, or a universities dean. People in authority have a job to do and obtain worked hard to get into the position they are in. They deserve to be treated with proper manner and reverence. Learning to say, yes maam and yes sir will get  noticed in a positive way.                                    8. Tend to your spiritual needs. We cannot ignore our spiritual needs and truly live a full and rewarding life .We must recognise that there is a higher power and pursue our faith regularly. We may not exercise our beliefs in exactly the same way, but I encourage you to find what works for you and explore it to it's depths.

A solid spiritual life will serve you well.                                               Good habits developed now will last a time.                                         These are good habits you want to set in concrete now. The quicker you make these habits that you live by, the better life you will experience. If you are parents, then print this list and work on it with your children. Back to school is an excellent time to focus on new habits that will last a lifetime!
