No. 1 Tips for College LifeHere are tips to help you create a productive and memorable college experience.1. Answer the question, Why am I going to college?Many college students really dont have a clear reason for being there other than the fact that they dont know what else to do yet. They inherit goals from family and peers which arent truly their own. What are you there to learn? What do you want to experience?2. Set clear goals for each class.Decide what you want out of each specific class. Sometimes youll achieve your goals; sometimes you wont. Even if you do your best, you may still fall short. Youll have to pick your battles. Some are worth fighting; others are best ignored.3. Get an early start to each day.Getting an early start each day helped you get a lot more done, not just in the morning but throughout the day.4. Master advanced memory techniques.One of the keys to learning material the first time is to train yourself in advanced memory techniques. I dont recommend memorizing by repetition because its way too slow.5. Have some serious fun!Challenge yourself academically, but give yourself plenty of time for fun as well. Dont squander your leisure time hanging around doing nothing.No.2 YouthYouth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind. It is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees. It is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, vigor of the emotions; It is the freshness of the deep spring of life.Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exits in a man of 60, more than a boy of 20.Nobody grows merely by the number of years; we grow old by deserting our ideas. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust1 bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust. Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human beings heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of whats next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from infinite, so long as you are young. When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with the snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then youve grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, theres hope you may die young at 80. No. 3 Born to Win Each human being is born as something unique, something that never existed before. Each person is born with what he needs to win at life. A normal person can see, hear, touch, taste, and think for himself. Each has his own unique potentials-his capabilities and limitations. Each can be an important, thinking, aware, and creatively productive person in his own right-a winner.The words “winner” and “loser” have many meanings. When we refer to a person as a winner, we do not mean one who defeats the other person by dominating and making him lose. Instead a winner is one who responds genuinely by being trustworthy and responsive, both as an individual and as a member of a society. Achievement is not the most important thing for winners; genuineness is. The genuine person realizes his own uniqueness and appreciates the uniqueness of others. A winner is not afraid to do his own thinking and to use his own knowledge. He can separate facts from opinion and doesnt pretend to have all the answers. He listens to others, evaluates what they say, but comes to his own conclusions.A winner cares about the world and its people. He is not separated from the general problems of societ
