“Take care of yourself and everything else that will fall into place.”

Coach David Diamont

What I think this quote means is that if you choose to do the right things, good things will happen to you. So if you have a quiz/test and you choose the right thing, which is study , you will get a good grade and that will be your reward.

If you feel that you do not naturally have all despair. Each of them can be accomplished by your own application. You can use meditation and visualization techniques to initiate your vision, and they can certainly be learned both for that purpose and for each step you take to reach your goals. Simply visualize your desired goals, that of being a star student, a champion of doing what is right, and see yourself working hard to become outstanding, and you’re your dreams and vision will materialize as you pursue these objectives.  Setting goals and objectives can be a personal or business technique that can be learnt. You can develop inner strength to succeed if you apply yourself to doing just that; that will enable you to recover from setbacks more easily.

What is important to you is that you, as you start to reach milestones of your ambitions, you appreciate your own achievements. It is a boost, of course, if others appreciate what you have done too, but appreciating yourself will strengthen your self-belief, and reinforce your determination to succeed. Some of those keys perseverance, prepared to research, plan and work hard, practice a lot even when things do not seem to be going well, and an ability to recover and learn from setbacks. At the outset of whatever it is you are trying to succeed in, a strong vision of your future, planning, and setting yourself achievable targets can all play an important role.

“Be Wise –Never Use Drugs or Alcohol”

“Be Wise –Never Use Drugs or Alcohol”

Do you think it is wise to use drugs and/or drink alcohol? In my opinion it is not. Why? Well, do you know what harmful effects using drugs and/or drinking alcohol causes? Using drugs and/or drinking alcohol causes a huge number of harmful effects to you. It causes harmful effects mentally, physically, and emotionally. Some harmful effects of using drugs are:

·    The harmful effects of drug abuse include changes in the user’s brain, body, and sprit.

·    The harmful effects of drug abuse on the user can range from mild itching to comas and even death.

·    In addition to the physical effects of drug abuse, there are many psychological consequences too. Perhaps the worst psychological consequence is the drug abuser becoming addicted.

·    Addicts find that they are no longer able to distinguish between right and wrong and make poor judgment choices.

·    Scientists have determined that most drugs of abuse initially affect the brains reward system.

·    Drugs mimic the brain's natural chemicals.

Some harmful effects of drinking alcohol are:

·    Difficulty walking, blurred vision, slurred speech, slowed reaction times, impaired memory.

·    Alcohol can produce detectable impairments in memory after only a few drinks and, as the amount of alcohol increases, so does the degree of impairment.

·    Large quantities of alcohol, especially when consumed quickly and on an empty stomach, can produce a blackout, or an interval of time for which the intoxicated person cannot recall key details of events, or even entire events.

·    Women are more vulnerable than men to many of the medical consequences of alcohol use. For example, alcoholic women develop cirrhosis (5), alcohol–induced damage of the heart muscle (i.e., cardiomyopathy) (6), and nerve damage (i.e., peripheral neuropathy) (7) after fewer years of heavy drinking than do alcoholic men.

Please people don’t ever use drugs and/or drink alcohol. You have to choose the right!

Whether studying or in general life, planning is an imperative skill. Here, we must strictly set the hours for studying, and we should promote regularity in doing so. Don’t put off your studies to the last moment (just before the test), because in that moment you will be feeling stress and pressure, and both factors will prove disturbing for your learning; that's the high price of procrastination. During

the exam, it’s important to forget about panic and stress. And if you are planning for your thesis, you may find this post useful. Other planning tip I frequently give is that, when you are assigned a homework, try to solve it as quickly as possible, several days before the required date, but don’t try to complete it perfectly and don’t submit it immediately. I always recommend doing homework early, but deliver it the last day possible.
