Hey all, I decided today, that i want to change and become a successful person. Yes, you might be laughing or saying "what an a**", but I have said that i'll change for the last 2.3 years and never changed but it is high time now. My pc has turned me from an Intello to a noob academically! But this is my last year at secondary and I have 4-5months before a final exam. Then it's UNI if I pass. That's my problem. I am not organised, no schedule, barely revise or do homeworks. But now i want to be successful and for success, i realised it's now to start learning or never. I need your help DPers, please help me by giving me suggestions, ideas etc. 1. How to plan my time? 2. How to focus on my studies? I just don't know how, I can't sit with a book for more than 20min 3. How to reduce my addiction to pc and manage my time using it? 4. You think I can create some thing which might help me learn using my pc? Hey DPers, I really need your help... I know it's quite late but not too late, still, I realised that at 17(i'm ashamed) Thanks
Poor girl, you're in trouble, but I doubt you will get much sympathy, which will do you no good anyway, so let me give you a kick in a** instead. If you have not been studying and revising and your finals are 5 months away you will not have to worry about Uni, because you will not be getting the required entry grades. You also don't have to worry about schedules or time management or anything else, you need to start studying and revising NOW, put the rest of your life on hold for a few months and get to it, using all the spare time you have, time is running out. Keep your pc off and keep away from it, use handwritten notes because it helps you to learn better if you write it this way, typing takes your brain out of gear. You have got just a few months to work as hard as you possibly can, to get the grades you need. A good education is the only thing that will help you get on in this world, even if you don't use it, you always have it to fall back on. I would imagine this is even more important in your country. You may only get one shot at this and the outcome may affect the rest of your life, don't mess it up or you will regret it forever when you are older. FOCUS on your work, do it now Take care, work hard, and I hope you succeed
You must first plan your work and then work your plan. This in one of the most important keys to success because failing to plan is planning to fail. Set your goals: 1. You will start with the end goal in mind and then work backward. Decide what it is that you want to ultimately achieve. 2. Plan out your monthly goals that you need to accomplish in order to achieve your end goal. 3. Plan out your weekly goals that you need to accomplish in order to achieve your monthly goals. 4. This is the most important part: Create a daily planner and checklist of everything that you need to do every single day of the week in order to achieve your weekly goals. Plan your day right down to the hour that you wake up until the time that you go to sleep. If you can manage your time and be 100% productive during the day then you will succeed. Having a daily planner will help you to stay focused and on the right track. Hope this helps
Better log out of your PC and go to your real friends and family and ask their help. They always had good suggestions for you, but you were busy seeking everything online, even help online.
Well, honestly i am also in same kind of situation and i am also thinking like what you are thinking, it's my final year of college then it's university hope i will be able to clear it's test, but the way i am living right now i am sure that i can't do it i also need a change in my life, i've been saying this from last year that, from the next month i will change myself but the result is always the same i go with the new routine for few days and after it again i am back to same old routine.. i am not discouraging you, i do believe if i had really tried my best i would change myself since i didn't i couldn't... i wish you Good luck and i think you may change since you already said it's high time... Good LuCk!!
To my opinion you have no reasons to change your life and the way of living at all. I can explain why. Firs of all you feel the reality like you were brought up to feel it, I mean that you are 'unsuccessful person' in your own inner space. I think that you have to change you work and to do something manually, may be here will be your goal. Just go to the village and plant some potatoes, and you will feel yourself better.
yes 2 yrs i said this ...i am starting my schedule today...i wish u success also, nowadays no uni no job its not i'm unsuccessful in my inner space. it is the fact that i will be unsuccessful if i don't take action now. my goal is becoming a developer and master designing...it's not plantiing potatoes
what's your major business in recent days . and what's your qualification now , based on the you can focus towards
You have to know what you want to do first. Whatever it is you are passionate about that can make you successful i suggest you pursue it.
Well I think you have already figured out what you are gonna do, you are just trying to check out our reactions in such circumstances. Frankly honey, your answers are within yourself and no one is going to encourage you or boost you to do something special. I am sure lot of people must have already done that and they have been unsuccessful. Its your time now, you have get up from the chair stand in front of the mirror (without the makeup kit in your hand.. lol ) and ask yourself, what do you wanna do ? Where do you wanna end up after 5 years ? I am sure you will get noticed what you need to do
