the importance of setting and achieving goals 
the importance of setting and achieving goals, is to be successful. Without goals there is no point in living. You were born to be the best you can be, without doing things you are going to be a nobody. When you die you want people to say ''yeah i remember that guy, that guy worked his butt off every single day and gave it 120% in life, and never gave up. He did not care what other people said about his dream, because it was his dream.

By Elvis Presley 
If i could be you, if you could be me 
for just one hour, if we could find a way
 to get inside each others mind 
if you could see through my eyes
 instead in your own ego
 i believe you'd be i believe you'd be surprised to see 
that you've been blind 
walk a mile in my shoes just walk a mile in my shoes
 before you abuse, criticize and accuse 
then walk a mile in my shoes
now if we spend the day 
throwin stones at one another
'cause i will think, 'cause i will think 
to wear my hat the same way you do
well, i may be common people
but i'm your brother and when you strike out you're trying to hurt me
it's hurtin' you, lord have mercy 
now there are people on reservations 
and out in the ghetto
and when they're for the grace of god
or you and i
if i only had wings for a little angel
don't you know i'd fly
to the top of fountain
and then i'd cry,cry,cry  

''Walk a Mile In My Shoes''

            the pqrst study method 
the pqrst study method. this five step process helps you synthesize reading materials and prepare for test. this is good to do with a study partner or group, but you can do it on your own. begin this process several days before the exam.

1.) preview. look over the course syllabus, your written notes, and headings and sub headings of assigned reading. this provides and over view of the content and concept you will be studying.

2) questions develops a list of questions, including those

• created from the headings
• from your written notes
• discussed in class
• provided at the end of chapters
• given on study guide
• that you have about the topic

for example, if a major heading or subheading is phase of the moon'' then ask yourself, what are the phrases of the moon?
3) read: read the assigned reading and your written notes, and look for answers to your study questions. headings and subheadings should help you guide your search. keep an eye out for other information to add to your list questions. reflect on what you read, and connect new material to what you already know.

4)state: in your own words, say aloud and/or write down the answers to your questions. use mnemonic devices, concept, diagrams, analogies, and/or other study strategies to aid your memory and understanding in this process. a list of study strategies is provided on handout 3.10.3, which you will be receiving shortly.

5. test: answer your study questions without looking at your notes or reading, and then check to see if your answers were correct and complete. your brain needs to absorb and apply new information, so test and re-test over several study sessions.
