This is not bad at all because at least he returned it. Well yeah it would have took him years to return it back but at least he returned it and not steal it because there is a lot of people that steal things and never give it back. But he knew that it was the right thing to do is to give it back and not keep it because it is not his. He is guilty and tidiest matter what he did in the past because you can’t obviously do anything about it.

Listen with your eyes heart and ears.7 percent of communication is contained in the words we use. The rest comes from body language and how we say words or the tone or feeling reflected in our voice.

Most people are eager to talk and had rather talk than listen. We have one mouth and two cars. This means we should listen twice as much as we talk. We actually learn more while listening rather than we talk. Learn to listen and listen to learn.

            Student success statement

‘’the only difference between those who have failed and those who have succeeded lies in the difference of their habits are the key to all success bad habits are the unlocked door to failure. Thus the first law I will obey which precedeth all others is I will form good habits and become their slaves.’’

Reflection: this means that the people that are not successful don't have good habits they don't have manners they don't appreciate what they have and they take everything for granted.they will never go know where in there lives.  but the people who have succeeded in life have good manners and don't give up and respect people around them and they are not rude. they listen to people and they do what is right. and people who are not successful they ignore everyone around them.

Ex: a good example is when a person who does good in school and get good grades she will try her hardest and not give up.you could tell she would be successful. another example when someone does bad in school get fails in every class and not listen he/she will do bad in life because he doesn't care about his future.

Help your teen create s personal mission statement which will act as a road map and direct and guide his decisions making process.

‘’keep your eyes on the prize.’’ Determine your desired prize and don’t quit until you have realized the achievement of your prize. Then set another prize, another goal or desire that you would really like to achieve. Begin with the achievement of your prize in mind. Visualize and then realize. Start by having a target in mind: know where you are going.

One prize or goal you definitely need to establish for yourself is the prize of an honorable graduation from high school that you will receive your diploma honestly and with integrity that you earned it with perfect honest.

9… don’t cram for exams. Successful students know what divided periods of study are more effective then cram sessions and they practice it.

If there is one thing that study skills specialists agree on it is that disturbed study better than massed late night last ditch efforts known as cramming. You will earn more remember more, and earn higher grade by studying in four, one hour a night sessions Friday exam than studying in for four hours straight on Thursday night. Short, concentrated preparatory efforts are more efficient and rewarding than wasteful inattentive last moment marathons. Yet, so many students fail to learn thistledown and end up repeating it over and over again until it becomes a wasteful habit. Not too clever huh?

When you cram you are taking the shortcut and shortcuts never produce any real worthwhile results. Also, when you take shortcuts you feel rather rotten knowing that you could have done better but didn’t. Shortcuts cut you short. You can’t plant watermelon seeds and harvest fresh watermelons the next day. It takes time. Cramming for a test project and expecting to make a high score the next day is like planting watermelon the next day. Plus cramming for a test or project doesn’t help you academically so why even does it, plan ahead prepare ahead give yourself plant of days and weeks to prepare for upcoming accountability opportunities.

               Student success statement

               ‘’what’s right isn't always popular, what’s popular isn't always right.’’

This means that if though some thing is always right it doesn't mean that you have to do it. You could make some changes and make things little bit different.  You could always choose a different path just because is popular means that you should go out and do it because everyone else is doing it. You have to choose what is right thing to do for you!

7…. Understand that actions after learning. Successful students know their personal behavior affect their feelings and emotions which in turn can affect learning.

If you act in a certain way that normally produces particular feelings you will begin to experience those feelings. Act like your bored and you will become bored. Act like you’re disinterested and you will become disinterested. So next time you have trouble concentrating in the classroom ‘’act’’ like an interested person lean forward place your feet flat on the floor. Maintain eye contact with the professor, nod occasionally, take notes ask question’s. Not only will you benefit directly from your actions your classmates and professor may also get more excited and enthusiastic.

8…talk about what they are learning successful students get to know something well enough that they can put into words. Talking about something. With friends or classmates is not only good. For checking whether or not you know something it’s approve learning tool. Transferring ideas into words provides the most direct path for moving knowledge from short term to a long term memory; you really don’t know material until you can put it into words. So next time you study don’t do it silently. Talk about notes, problems, readings, etc. with friends, recite to chair, organize an oral study group, pretend your teaching your peers talk learning produces a whole how host of memory traces that result in learning
