"When you believe you can-you can."-Dr. Maxwell Maltz

I believe human derives success from both internal and external motivations, but without a proper goal or objective we cannot exert the determination to succeed, but a motivation is a stimulus that allows us to envision and create our goals. Our internal motivations will decide whether we succeed or we do not, in order for us to be motivated by the external world, we first must be motivated internally. Without a motivation how could you expect a goal to be manifested?, and therefore how can you expect other individuals to support your goal and expect certain actions from you?. But you also must expect success from yourself in order to succeed, expectation is one of the most powerful stimuli that allows an individual to succeed. Once you believe in yourself, you can construct a goal and succeed.

"Tell me what is right and i will fight for it."- Woodrow Wilson

This quote awakens an inner activist with in many individuals. In this quote the former president emphasizes the need to oppose a conflict that may intervene with in your success, but what you are supposed to do is determine whether your ideals propose a proper benefit from the conflict. We must also determine whether the cause is "right" and just. When we confront an issue and fight we must be prepared to justify our motivation and reasons for our actions. In this quote physical conflict is not really represented, but what is represented includes confronting the laws that society has imposed, but again the reason for our conflict must be justified and righteous.

Emphasis on the written word

Most of the communication, as well as the course assignments, in distance education classes is completed through writing. That is a plus, because the focus on the written work allows you to develop as a writer- and develop a proper literature structure which is essential toward academic success. However, if writing is a serious debilitation for you, virtual education may not promote a beneficial opportunity until you improve your writing skills. Yes most virtual education, is taught through writing; therefore you need to be a good reader, love to read, and love writing also. Most of your assignments, will be written and submitted to your instructor in the

Written format.  Your penmanship must be excellent, spelling must be great, sentence structure must exhibit potential, vocabulary must be extraordinary, and you must own the proper equipment and possess internet access. If your internet communications at home are not functioning, you cannot participate in an online education session, so you must search for a location with internet access.

Decide what is beneficial for you

Distance education might not benefit a certain group of individuals. But it might be beneficial toward you. You should attempt a distance education program. You never know until you have tried. You might even develop a passion for distance education. While distance education might be the perfect alternative for several students, it may not benefit a number of individuals. So carefully consider your unique needs and interests and attempt distance education; then decide whether it is the right choice for you.

"You must live within the present in order to secure your future."-Reverend Robert Craig
I absolutely support the statement. If we were to not participate in any beneficial activity at the current moment we would not be able to secure any amount of success. The usage of temporal reference allows us to picture the present moment and ask ourselves,What action am i conducting that will benefit me? If we were not able to adapt to our present situation, that would mean we are "living in the past" here we perceive adaptation as a fundamental ability that when applied to a certain situation can allow us to succeed. If we were to live in what is referenced as the "future" we would suddenly preoccupy ourselves with events that have not even occurred so how can we be certain, these events are truthful. Therefore we must focus on the present and attempt to secure our success.

Distance Education: Is a virtual classroom for you? Part 3

Challenging aspects of distance education:

·        Lack of in-person interaction: Some educators argue that both teacher and student and student and teacher contact are essential toward learning. In a distance learning classroom, you may be able to participate within conversations or class discussions on a chat room, message room, or web conferences- the experience is vastly different from actual physical interaction.

·        Different levels of quality: Many distance-education programs supply excellent learning experiences, but others may not.

---

Research any program before enrolling, in order to examine the difficulty level. If you are selecting your own program, be sure to examine the programs accreditation before enrolling.

·        The need of self-initiative: Distance education allows you to create your own schedule. If you cannot properly motivate yourself, this might not be an ideal educational setting for you.

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us."-Ralph Waldo Emerson
This statement is a wonderful statement by Mr. Emerson, we all have a moral compass within us that guides us. The actions that we have taken before will always effect us, what is with in us might have been a stimulant that had allowed us to participate with in that action. What lies within us is therefore the cause of the misery that lies in the past, so we must focus upon the correction of our internal conscience and the strengthening of our judgement skills. First we must look upon our influences and our growth as individuals, how were you raised?, which external individual has had a great influence upon you?, what mistakes have you made?, how have those mistakes effected your life? The conscience can be equated to that of a compass that has been influenced by our morals, ideals, and actions, and therefore we develop our conscience.
