"Your future is created by what you do today, not tomorrow"
-Robert Kiyosaki
This quote means that what you do today will create your future. For example if you do something bad today  in school then the next day you wont be in school so you have to live on your present not your future.


SQ3R
SQ3R: A Great Reading and Studying Technique
Improve Tour Study Skills
SQ3R stands for:
SURVEY
QUESTION
READ
RECITE
REVIEW
It is a proven technique to sharpen your study skills.
In college, you’ll be required to do lots of reading. You’ll often have to complete reading assignments in several different books for several different courses at the same time.
SQ3R helps make reading and studying purposeful and effective, so that you use your time most efficiently. Here’s how this strategy works.
SURVEY
Let’s say your assignment is to read one chapter. First, get an idea of what the chapter is about by reviewing the highlights.
·         Read the title, headings and italicized or bold.
·         Notice words that are italicized or bold.
·         Look at charts, graphs, pictures, maps and other visual material.
·         Read captions.
·         Read the very beginning and end of the chapter.

Choose the Right.

5 Tips for Success
Tips 3-4
Tip 3: Do Research
Literary critics have written vast numbers of analytically and critical pieces on countless books. If you’re having trouble understanding a particular text, do some research and see what knowledgeable sources have to say about it. In additional to increasing your comprehension, you’ll also be showing initiative, something teachers always like to see. Always use legitimate and scholarly sources, not condensed study guides. Going the extra mile in your research elevates your achievements 10-fold.
Tip 4: Use a Dictionary
Make sure you have access to a dictionary when you’re reading. You can often figure out the meaning of an unfamiliar word by using context clues, but sometimes you can’t. Rather than simply skipping over the words you don’t know, take the time to look them up. The results are well worth the effort. Your comprehension will increase greatly; you’ll build your vocabulary at the same time.

The Three Don's 
Don't whine, don't complain, don't make excuses
John Wooden 
This quote from John Wooden means that if you are told to do something by a teacher or parent of an adult you should talk back or complain or whine you should just do it and don't make excuses if you didn't do your work then there will be no excuse you just did not do it.

Tips 3-5

3. Set Attainable Goals
If you’re having trouble writing a 25-page paper for class because it seems like such a big job, don’t focus on that final number. Break the paper down and consider each section of your paper individually. You can handle any project in small chunks.
4. Find a Social Support Network
Create a group of people around you who want to help you succeed. Mentors can be teachers or family friends who can give you guidance and help you develop new skills. Counselors can help you with planning your courses and starting to explore colleges. You can also reach out to friends and peers who can motivate you by listening and sharing ideas.
5. Acknowledge Your Accomplishments

Give yourself a quick reward when you complete an assignment. take a walk, send an email, get a snack. then move on to the next project.

5 Tips for Staying Motivated
Tips 1-2
To succeed in High School and college you have to do your best at all times but sometimes it’s hard to stay motivated even you really care for your work. Here are some ways to stay on the right track.

1.                        Focus in high impact activities
The key in school is staying focused on your courses work. Make a list to get an overall picture of your workload before you start to tackle any of it then make a plan. Although its tempting to do the simplest assignments first, those that take more time and effort to accomplish are probably the ones to that you’ll learn the most from.
 To determine what your precise portieres are rank your assignment in order of their importance, then rearrange your time and devote more energy towards those who have the greatest impact on your course work and grades. For example, even though all homework assignments are important studying for midterm exam takes time.

2.                        Create new challenge
Changing your approach can help you stay interested in what you’re doing. If you’ve been given an assignment similar to one you’ve done in the past, think about it in a different way. If you wrote an essay for a creative writing assignments last year, try a poem this time. For book reports pick a history book instead of another biography.
