Attention to Detail

Attention to Detail

7 of 10

When you double-check your calculation for math problem or cite sources carefully in a research or cite sources carefully in a research paper, you’re paying close attention to detail. That skill comes in handy in any workplace, whether you maintain a database, keep a log of the hours you spend with clients or write e-mails.

John Wooden, UCLA’s former great basketball coach who lead his team to ten consecutive national championship, was asked what he attributed his success to. Among a number of things, he attributed his success to. Among the numbers of things, he mentioned that paying attention to details was one of the most important qualities for successful coaching and for high achievement in any worthwhile pursuit. He even paid attention to how his players would lace up and tie their shoe strings. If they didn’t tie them correctly, he would teach them how.

Details may be small things but from small thing come great things; therefore pay attention to detail and you will experience substantial progress in your overall educational attainment.

Speaking skills

When you’re assigned a class presentation, think twice before dismissing it as an unimportant part of your education. Employers look for speaking skills in job applicants, who may have too soon to practice good eye contact and other public speaking techniques.

According to the book of lists, fear of public specking ranks number one in the minds of the majority of people. Far above the fear of death and disease, comes the fear of standing in front of a crowd. Joel Weiner noted author and public speaker wants to help people overcome the fear.

“The biggest fear is public speaking, with 15 percent of American experiencing a dramatic fear of it,” said Dr. Michael Telch of the laboratory for the study of anxiety disorder (LSAD) in the department of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. “People have to turn down jobs, and certainly students have dropped class because of it.”

Regardless of your occupation, your success depends a great deal upon your ability to communicate effectively! Whether you’re running a meeting, selling a product, making a presentation motivating co-worker or just communicating one-on-one with others, you’ll get far better results if you can speak persuasively, smoothly and intelligently.

Thanks to the web, information is easy to find. However, it’s also easy to post something online. Anyone can do it. You’ve probably used the Internet to do research for a paper, to help you decide which product to buy, or to form an opinion about current events. Looking up information online is fast and convenient. But when you do online research, it’s important to find sites you can trust. Many websites claim to have the facts, but are full of errors. Others present information in a biased way they only give one side of an argument. How can you tell a reliable source from an unreliable one? Also, it is critical that you post online only that which is descent and appropriates, never anything pornographic, vulgar, indecent, out of taste, untruthful, or obscene. Post those things that will make a good name for you and your organization, that will promote goodwill and be of benefit to the world.

5 tips for success

Tip5: Keep a List of Questions

When you feel confused about something you’re reading, write down any questions you have. Sometimes your questions are answered as you read further. If not, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Remember, teachers create assignments; they’ve read the texts and are familiar with them. When you have specific questions, your teacher can provide answer that will help you better understand the material. Learning is rooted in questions developed and asked by the learner.

Asking question to you, to the teacher, and to others, is a great learning method.  When you cease to ask questions, you cease to exist to a great extent. Read actively by silently asking questions as you read. Questioning immerses you into the material you are reading and therefore will expand your mental capacities more than almost anything else. The philosopher sir Francis bacon said, “Knowledge is power.”  Improving your reading comprehension is the key to gaining important knowledge and making the most of your education. So pick up a book… and a pen.

Tip 3: do research

Literary critics have written vast numbers of analytical and critical pieces on countless books, if you’re having trouble understanding a particular text, do some research and see what knowledgeable sources have to say about it. In addition to increasing your comprehension, you’ll also be showing initiative, something teachers always like to see. Always use legitimate and scholar sources, not condensed study guides.

Tip 4: use a dictionary

Make sure you have access to a dictionary when you’re reading. You can often figure out the meaning of an unfamiliar word by using context clues, but sometimes you can’t. Rather than simply skipping over the word you don’t know, take the time to look for them. The results are well worth the effort.

5 tips for success

Reading and writing go hand and hand. The better you understand a text, the more likely you are to successfully communicate your thought about it in writing, so it’s important to develop strong skills in both areas. With that in mind, here’s how to improve your reading comprehension.

Tips 1-2  

Tip 1: Annotate

Be an active reader. Instead of passively reading a text, take notes about important story element, key factual information and significant ideas in the text.

Tip 2: note the author’s writing style

Every author writes with a purpose, using deliberate methods to successfully relate specific information to the audience.  When you’re reading, look for patterns in the author’s writing. For example, you may notice a repetition of keys words, phase or symbols – or the use of a distinct type of sentence structure. Authors employ these writing strategies to help readers comprehend a central argument or themes, so be sure to explore how these techniques create meaning.
