Student Success Statement

                 Student Success Statement

"Stop worrying about whether you are going to win or lose and focus your full attention on what is happening right this moment."-Phil Jackson(11 world championships-coach, 2 world championships-Player, 2 High-school championships-player.)

The quote is attempting to convey the idea that an individual must focus upon their present objective in order to succeed. The present represents our current events, the decisions we abide by during the present can severely effect our future. Many individuals who are preoccupied with several unimportant aspects within their objective usually cannot devote enough of their time in order to properly complete the objective, these minuscule preoccupations can manifest themselves as obstacles within our lives if we are not able to prioritize and devote our efforts toward our present goals. Suppose a child is intent upon winning a certain competition he cannot properly cooperate with his teammates during the competition, this ambition therefore creates an obstacle within the life of this individual. Therefore we must be able to prioritize and devote our effort onto the present objectives.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Jackson

Time Management 8 Of 10

            Time Management 8 of 10

Learn to properly manage your time and you will benefit during the time in which you are overburdened with demands- classes, homework, and activities- at times you may necessitate your family’s assistance. University provides you with a greater opportunity in order to expand your time management skills by managing your time in solitude. This is the beneficial aspect since most tasks require multitasking. You might need to provide for certain clients while you are attracting new clients, respond to emails while constructing a presentation, or you may need to order produce while you are managing several orders.

Someone once stated “Wherever you are, be there.” The quote is instructing us to focus on the present objective. Do not allow yourself to become inattentive and not be able to properly concentrate. You are not able to repair your mistakes, so you must devote yourself to the present objective! Conquer the present objective

---

And you will conquer the future objective. Work continuously through the action of devoting your time toward the present objective.
