Initiative

5 of 10

Initiative is creativity, inventiveness, originality, ingenuity, imagination. Every time you respond in class, every time you choose your own research topic, every time you put together your own interpretation of a piece of literature, you take initiative. And future employers value can-do professionals who come up with new ideas and chart their own course through projects, employees who are self-reliant. Self-reliant people are self-starters who don’t procrastinate and getting the job done. They know what is required to do and do it. They don’t wait to be told many times. Succeeding in high school, college, and in the career world is taking the initiative.

Problem-Solving Skills

4 of 10

Problem solving goes for beyond your math textbook. Every assignment an opportunity to weigh all possible solutions carefully and choose the one you think is best. As a working professional, you’ll be solving problems regularly, whether it’s fixing a bug in a computer program or overcoming budget shortfalls. Problem solving situations occur extensively and frequently; therefore, be ready when then come.

When problems or challenges occur, some people look at the, at negative experiences, as a crisis. These people are the ones who live day by day with gloom and negativism in their attitudes. But the really successful people, those who are cheerful and optimistic, are those who look at problems as opportunities to learn, grow, expand their horizons, and make new discoveries. They look on the bright side of things and live happy lives.

“Education is a marathon- not a sprint”

Anon

Reflection: This statement has a very deep meaning. Education is more like a marathon than a sprint. You must grow gradually in education, you don’t educate yourself in a single blow. You learn all your life and slowly become more intellectual. Education is life long, you can't just go by it in a swift. Choose the right and stay educated!!!

Teamwork Skills

3 of 10

Every time your class breaks into groups to tackle a challenge you build teamwork skills. In college, you’ll continue to have these opportunities to practice voicing your opinions, listening responding to others and reaching compromises. By the time you leave college, you can be an expert in this important workplace skill.

Together

Everyone

Achieves

More

Individually you can achieve only so much, but when you work with others for a common cause, the same objectives, you can accomplish a tremendous amount more. You synergize your talents, knowledge, and skills with those whom you work. All members of the team are edified together, a type of edification you can’t obtain by working alone.

Student Success Statement

“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; the world if full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘Press On’ has solved and always will solve the problem of the human race.”

-Calvin Coolidge, 30^th president of the United States

Reflection: Calvin Coolidge’s words of wisdom are very true. Nothing will ever take the place of persistence. Neither talent nor genius will ever overcome or take the place of persistence and determination. Many people in the world who are talented are failures, and many individuals who are geniuses don’t have anywhere to stay or live. Persistence and determination is the key to success and to solve the problem of the human race. Nothing can replace these two essentials of success. Choose the right and be a persistent and determined individual.

Writing Skills

1 of 10

Communication is at the top of the first of skills that employers look for. And communication in the workplace often means writing.

Health professionals keep patient charts, researchers depend on the money they collect by writing grant applications, software engineers write technical specifications and nearly everyone write e-mail to people inside and outside their organization. And before you even get the chance to interview for a job, you’ll need to present yourself in cover letters and resumes.

So, by taking writing serious and doing your best on every research paper, every lab report you write, every new post you write in your blog site, and every writing activity you engage in you’re preparing yourself for a good career.
