Every day from the time that you wake up till the time you go to sleep your life will be a battle. There will be people why try to bring you down. You will have teachers who will frustrate you mentally. There will be students and people who you call your friends that might frustrate you physically. All of these are things that test who you really are. People can frustrate or hurt you mentally of physically, but they can never touch your soul. That is what must get you up in the morning.
There are three main things that make up who you are, Caleb. Those three things are your body, your mind, and your soul. Your body is what other people can see and touch. It can be bent or broken, or bruised and abused. You must train your body to do what you want it to do. When you want to study, your body is not going to want to so it may become restless. You must control your body and do what needs to be done anyway. When you control your body you will look and feel healthier. You will be happier and have more energy.
The second part of your being is your mind. This is the weakest part of who you are. Your mind is always what wants to give up first. When you are running or lifting weights your mind is what makes you want to stop. If your body wants to stop you will pass out or die, so you must train your mind. If you can train your mind to listen to you, and you condition it to be strong, you will be smarter and the harder things ...
In the reading by Richard Swinburne, he evaluates the mortality of the soul and its interaction with the human body. His position is best described as attributing the soul to a light bulb, and the brain to a functioning socket:
Integument simply means the natural covering of the body and it is made up of skin, hair, and nails. Not only is the skin the largest organ in the body but it is also the most visible organ system. Its purpose is to shield the human body from substances in the outside world that could be harmful. The skin is also the only thing that is double the weight of the brain or liver.
This one being your first year in college, you may have trouble concentrating while you study. Some techniques that can help your concentration are being selective, relaxing, and over learning. Being selective means to make choices about what is most important to learn. When you are studying, you should be able to know what may or may not be on the test, your notes for the week can be helpful. In addition, pay attention to charts, tables, and illustrations that you think may appear on the test. Relaxing is a good technique to use because when you are relaxed you are able to absorb more information. One way to relax is to use a breathing technique (inhale, count from one to ten, and exhale, and count from one to ten, and so on). Over learning can help you fight mental vagueness. When you are struggling in a class, it is best for you to learn more than you need to know about the subject. You can use these techniques every time you are studying or when you cannot concentrate.
One of the most stressful aspects of high school and ultimately college is the ability (or lack thereof) to form good study habits. One may often hear the dramatic tale of a college student staying up all night in order to receive a good grade on his or her test the following morning. This student either completely fails the test, or does really well. These results depend on the students themselves and their ability to study in this manner. In this essay, I will compare and contrast fellow two of the most popular forms of studying—periodic and cramming—in an effort to allow high school students to effectively choose which form may best work for them.
Identify the best time for studying. Everyone has high and low periods of attention and concentration. Are you a morning person or a night person? Use your power times for studying, especially if you have children. Use your down times for cleaning, laundry, and running errands. If you have a job like most of us do, make a slot in your day for studying.
... Wake up fools! I am kidding. If you agreed with any of the examples I gave, you are obviously ready to fail your college classes. Factors such as organization, procrastination, and influences affect a student enormously. Being organized is important in order to succeed. If all you are trying to do is relax your professors will not acknowledge any of your work. They will acknowledge you if you being acting irresponsible. An example of irresponsibility is not bringing your material. When they do notice you, they will see you as a poor student. Procrastination wears you down because you deprive yourself from sleep that you could never regain. Influences affect your thoughts by engaging you. If you are aware you are straying from your original goals, let go of the people who are taking you down. Do not be a poor student for it will affect you your entire life.
Throughout your life you encounter many situations, some of which seem small, others appear to be life altering. What I have found in my life is that no matter what situation you think you are experiencing, your reaction to it can dictate more than you could have ever imagined. In moments of adversity I discovered my attitude impacts the result of the issue, and those around me. Charles Swindoll once said, “Life is ten percent what happens to you, and ninety percent how you react to it.” Adversity has shaped who I am by allowing me to see the result of my attitude and actions. Without a struggle, you’ll never be challenged, you’ll never have to take a leap of faith, or take a risk. Adversity allows you
Strength is not about being a tough guy and being able to bench two hundred pounds. It is okay to be strong and still be scared. People can cry and still be strong. To be strong is not just about having a hard exterior. Strength is being able to overcome the problems life will throws at humanity, and society needs true personal, mental, and spiritual strength to overcome it. Strength comes in many forms but, all kinds of strengths are good. Strength is having the capability to overcome any challenge that is faced in life. Strength is to never give up.
In high school, I was involved in colorguard which took over my whole life. I had practice until late into the night during the week and competitions took up my weekend. This didn’t leave me much time to study. Coming to college I discovered I had to study like I never had before. In between classes is when I get the most studying done and I have found that I can study better in the SUB than in the library or my dorm room. One of the main challenges I have faced is the
This is one of the most controversial topics that humans have been facing it for decades. I’m a believer that humans are body and spirit, and the spirit has to transcend. Religion plays a big part of who we are, how we make some decisions. It affects the way people look and live their lives, communicate with others, and how they act. As mentioned in our book, we have a system of ethical and religious beliefs and values that is transmitted to us by family members, friends, educators, religious figures, etc. This system determines our ability to resolve dilemmas and make complex ethical decisions. (Muller, 2014) I was raised Catholic and I believe that my faith and Christian principles has helped me become a better person, thought me to see
I knew I needed to begin studying for my exams one to two weeks prior. My study habits did not change drastically, but I have realized the BEST way to understand and memorize information is by re-writing the concept over again. I also tend to read out loud and piece the information together to truly understand the concept. I also have realized that although I had a dorm room to myself, study was not the same as being in the library. I believe that being around others whom are diligently studying for exams is motivation to study for myself. I like seeing that I am not the only one that stays up until 12 A.M. to finish a paper or studies for four straight hours.
Neuroscientists, educators, nutritionists, psychiatrists, geneticists, and yogis are examining the mind-body connection to figure out how we learn (Weiss, 2001). Learning is the activity or process of gaining knowledge or skill by studying, practicing, being taught, or experiencing something. The process of learning cannot take place without the body performing at an optimal level supporting the minds effort to learn. The learning environment can be very stressful and an adults life can be distracting, understanding the mind-body connection in learning can assist in accomplishing all learning related goals. Activities that require the body to move, a person’s diet, emotional health, and spiritual health all influence learning. Ratey (2001) says, “It has become obvious that we can actually change our brains. By altering the external environment of our surroundings or the internal environment of our bodies, we take better advantage of our strengths and amend our weaknesses”.
In the end in order to achieve success within an individual's life, and become the person one would like to be, you have to go through tough times to become a tough person. Nobody wants to go through pain but in the end that is what defines a person and shapes who they are. An individual can only learn how to grow and flourish through life once they have been faced with hardships that they have defeated.
When you step back and look at the big picture of life, you will notice that the concept of learning plays an essential role in it. What you learn and how you learn is your key to life success and it can open a multitude of doors for you along the way. Learning, however, is routine and much like other activities that are routine such as brushing your teeth or eating meals, you begin to think less and less about what you are doing or how you have been doing it. I never actually put too much thought into how I learned or the origins of my learning experience, but after reflecting on the ideas I have been able to clearly identify the manners in which I have learned and how I can transform my learning experience
