the importance of good sportsmanship

“The Importance of Good Sportsmanship”

Having good sportsmanship is always good. Not everyone has good sportsmanship, even though they should. Having this can help you in many ways. For example:

·      You can become a better person.

·      You can achieve goals better.

·      You can play by the rules.

·      Have fun.

Having sportsmanship can make you a better person by not getting angry all the time. Nobody wants a team member that gets angry all the time and makes them loose. Also by having good sportsmanship, you will choose the right. When you play your game, you always have to be at your best. If you have good sportsmanship then you  will respect your team mates and the other team. Always being true to yourself is better than lying and cheating yourself. It can make you enjoy the game a lot better than just trying to win. It’s better to choose the right than the wrong; and choosing good sportsmanship is choosing the right.

George Washington Carver

Reflection: George Washington Carver is trying to say that with education, that can lead you to whatever you want to become. I also agree with him because education can open any door, to our future. Without knowledge I believe you will not make something of yourself.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

student succes statement Theodore Hesburgh

Student success statement

“My basic principle is that you don’t make decisions because they are easy; you don’t make them because they are cheap; you don’t make them because they are popular; you make them because they are right.”

Theodore Hesburgh

Reflection: Making a decision can sometimes be hard. However, when you do end up making up your mind; you choose what is right. You never choose that one decision because its popular or easy but because when you choose that one decision you know it’s the right and smart decision there is. Make sure you always choose the right decision and don’t let anyone or anything stop you from making the right choice.

Student Success Statement: Thomas S. Monson

Student Success Statement

“Decisions Determine Destiny”

Thomas S. Monson

Reflection: This statement is the 3 D’s. They show what you need in life to create your destiny as a result. Your decisions affect your determination which affects your destiny. In hindsight you should always have your decisions premeditated to Choose The Right. You also should determine if your goal is to help you or not. Lastly your destiny is what can make you great, and having good choices and determination will lead you to a greater destiny than you every desired.

successful student part 2

Successful Students

Part 2

4. Successful students learn that a student and a teacher make a team. Most teachers 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, you’re teammates. Get to know your professor. You’re the most valuable players in the same team. Your jobs are to work together for mutual l success. Neither wishes to chalk up a losing season. Be a team player!

5. Successful students don’t sit in the back. 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 for their educational dollars.

Students who sit in the back cannot possibly be their teachers teammate (see no.4).

student success statement ABRAHAM LINCOLN

Student success statement

“I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong”

-Abraham Lincoln

Reflection: Abraham Lincoln is saying that if he believes you are right, he will be for it. He will stand right next to you and he will be proud to be with the person who is right and always chooses right. However as soon as the one right person does wrong, that is when Lincoln will leave them. He stays with and only people who Choose the Right.

successful students part 1

Successful Students

Part 1

Successful students exhibit a combination of successful attitudes and behaviors as well as intellectual capacity. Successful students

1.  Successful students are responsible and active. Successful students get involved in their studies, accept responsibility for their own education, and are active participants in it!

Responsibility means control. It’s the difference between leading and being led. Your own efforts control your grade, you earn the glory or deserve the blame, you make the choice. Active classroom participation improves grades without increasing study time. You can sit there, act bored, daydream, or sleep. Or you can actively listen, think, question, and take notes like someone in charge of their learning experience. Either option costs one class period. However, the former method will require a large degree of additional work outside of class to achieve the same degree of learning the latter provides at one sitting. The choice is yours.

Choose the right!!!

Student success statement

“Great beauty, great strength, and great riches are really and truly of no great use; a right heart exceeds all.”

-       Benjamin Franklin

Reflection: Nothing truly matters unless you have the right heart. He’s saying if you don’t have your heart in the right place, nothing else will matter. You can be the richest person alive but if your heart isn’t with good feelings than you will still feel horrible. That’s why when you use CTR you get good feelings in your heart and that will amount to be the greatest beauty, riches and strength.

characteristics of a successful student

Characteristics of a Successful Student

Many students do not know what it takes to be successful in the educational environment. They understand good and bad grades in a general way, and they sense that they should attend classes, but that is where their knowledge begins and ends.

Most instructors know what a good student is- and is not. For one thing, a good student is not necessarily the most intelligent individual in the class.

The following is a list of some characteristics of good students. This list is a description of what a hard-working student does and what a teacher likes to see. By learning these characteristics, you may better understand the day-to-day and class-to-class behavior of successful students. The idea is to provide you with guidelines you can follow which will help you get down to the business of becoming a serious successful student

student success statement William Penn

 Student Success Statement

“Right is right, even if everyone is against it. Wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it.”

-       William Penn

Reflection: William is trying to say that you can choose the right and people might not agree, but choosing the right is the best thing to do no matter what. It is like saying Choose The Right should always be a motto because even if something is wrong and many are choosing to do so, you don’t need to participate if it is a bad thing. Always Choose The Right.

(habits 44-47 )

44. They don’t rationalize failure. While many are talking about their age, their sore back, their lack of time, their poor genetics, their ‘bad luck’, their nasty boss and their lack of opportunities (all good reasons to fail), they are finding a way to succeed despite all their challenges.

45. They have an off switch. They know how to relax, enjoy what they have in their life and to have fun.

46. Their career is not their identity, it’s their job. It’s not who they are, it’s what they do.

47. They are more interested in effective than they are easy. While the majority look for the quickest, easiest way (the shortcut), they look for the course of action which will produce the best results over long term.

STUDENT SUCCESS STATEMENT

“It may make a difference to all eternity whether we do right or wrong today.”

James Freeman Clark

Reflection: What James Freeman is trying to say is it’s up to us to choose the right. It is better choose the right because you will live better and feel more good about yourself. Although, it may not make difference to others, it might make a difference to you. So stick to what is right rather dong the wrong.

Reflection: Ian was a child who lives by CTR. He demonstrated his good character when he gave a baseball from the major leagues to Nicolas. Nicolas caught the ball but dropped it, and Ian got it. Yet he was very excited he gave the ball back to little Ian who was very sad. Ian soon found out that Choosing The Right, gave him good fortune and good feelings inside.

Student success statement

“It’s not living that matters, but living rightly”

Socrates

Reflection:  What Socrates means is as long as you live choosing the right you’ll live long, rather than just living and not choosing the right. It’s better to live right because it will make you a better person and make your life better oppose to just living and being wrong.

50 Habits of Successful People

(habits 31-35)

31. They are secure. They do not derive their sense of worth of self from what they own, who they own, who they know, where they live or what they look like.

32. They are generous and kind. They take pleasure and helping others achieve.

33. They are humble and they are happy to admit mistakes and to apologize. They are confident in their ability, but not arrogant. They are happy to learn from others. They are happy to make others look good rather than seek their own personal glory.

34. They are adaptable and embrace change, while the majority are creatures of comfort and habit. They are comfortable with, and embrace, the new and the unfamiliar.

35. They keep themselves in shape physically, not to be mistaken with training for the Olympics or being obsessed with their body. They understand the importance of being physically well. They are not all about looks, they are more concerned with function and health. Their body is not who they are, it’s where they live.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT

50 habits of successful people 21-30

50 Habits of Successful People

(21-30)

21. They don’t believe in, or wait for fate, destiny, chance or luck to determine or shape their future. They believe in, and are committed to actively and consciously creating their own best life

22. While many people are reactive, they are proactive. They take action before they have to

23. They are more effective than most of managing their emotions. They feel like we all do but they are not slaves to their emotions.

24. They are good communicators and they consciously work at it.

25. They have a plan for their life and they work methodically at turning that plan into a reality. Their life is not a clumsy series of unplanned events and outcomes.

26. Their desire to be exceptional means that they typically do things that most won’t. They become exceptional by choice. We’re all faced with life-shaping decisions almost daily. Successful people make the decisions that most won’t and don’t.

27. While many people are pleasure junkies and avoid pain and discomfort at all costs, successful people understand the value and benefits of working through the tough stuff and most would avoid.

28. They have identified their core values (what is important to them) and they do their best to live a life which is reflective of those values.

29. They have balance. While they may be financially successful, they know that the terms money and success are not interchangeable. They understand that people who are successful on a financial level only, are not successful at all. Unfortunately we live in a society which teaches that money equals success. Like many other things, money is a tool. It’s certainly not a bad thing but ultimately; it’s just another resource. Unfortunately, too many people worship it.

30. They understand that importance of discipline and self-control. They are strong. They are happy to take the road less travelled.

reflection #3: jimmy

We learned about a child names Jimmy who CTR. He chose to be honest instead of lying about him touching the beam in this rope climbing test. He is a trustworthy person, because he told the truth instead of lying dishonorably. He is a winner, not because of the rope contest but because he told the truth.

Keys to Successful Living

Part 4

(Anon)

What is personality? The word “personality” comes from the root persona, which means “mask.” Our personality is a mask that we wear. We don’t have to wear a mask when we are by ourselves; we were a mask to express ourselves to others, our personality is our character, and that character is composed of certain habits. Each of us has a numerous habits; so when we want to understand our personality, we should understand our habit patterns. A habit pattern is a conscious thought or action that one repeats again and again. This creates a groove in the unconscious mind and forms an unconscious habit. Unconscious habits are stronger than conscious habits are stronger than conscious habits. All habit patterns are self- created. When we sit down and try to understand which of our habits control our life, we see that there are many deep-rooted habits within us.

       Choose habits that will mold your personality into a super successful student and person.

keys to successful living part 3

Keys to Successful Living

Part 3

(Anon)

We should understand our capacities and potentials, and then we should express ourselves in the external world with full confidence, acting steps without any reservations. Thus there are three in performing an action: first, forming an opinion within ourselves; second, expressing our opinion to others; and third, executing our opinion to others; and third, executing our opinion in action.

Understanding Habit Patters

The main thing that one should learn in life -- and it is not taught in the home or in the schools --is self-analysis. We should learn to analyze ourselves. If we really want to understand ourselves, we can analyze our personality by understanding our habit patterns. This is not difficult. We should simply try to be consciously aware of every action we perform and realize that our actions are virtually our thoughts. Without thought there can be no action. Habit patterns and thoughts are revealed through behavior. There is a branch of psychology called behaviorism that is based on this concept. But one should understand that external behavior alone cannot reveal everything about a person. Laughter, for example, cannot be analyzed behaviorally. If I were to laugh, you might also laugh with me simply because I was laughing without understanding why I was laughing.
