The last night

the sky was painted black and gray, the wind was blowing strangely that day,

flock of white doves that normally fly, remained hidden

while a soldier looked up to the sky-

with hands raised

he shouted to the heavens-“why?”

searching,

Earthquake

the city, rumble of thunder like the growl of a lion

ensuring their hunger;

While the women looked on with teary eyes,

best friend has

her mother clenched, her head bowed down,

in silent death;

execution

that would rest his soul;

the traitor’s kiss the fearsome lies,

running away,

the great betray;

scales of justice

tip to your side

as hope began again that night;

the clean wave

footprints in the sand;

the eraser cleans the blackboard, with the teacher’s hand;

the shirt that is torn

repairs like new;

the blood-stained dress,

washed from top to bottom,

white and clean

like the morning dew;

the slap the agony,

the crack of the whip,

bloody knees,

dishonor and spitting, and the tearing of the flesh,

imminent death

the final breath;

carry the weight of the world to the top of a hill

tortured footsteps,

during the day – seems to stop;

Of Strife and Conflict – Jerusalem

bloody back

the harsh cold of the morning, the integrity of love

selflessly loved;

Purple coat

and crown of thorns, rolling down his beard,

a drop of blood;

a silent reminder

of the day that comes, and falls

to the dusty ground beside his sandaled feet;

true love,

hand washing, sleepless night,

light from the rising sands of dawn;

in silence- eyes focused straight up to the sky,

while the birds fly

and the women cry;

while the nails are prepared for drilling

hands and feet,

a bite of bread

with the accompanying grievance of angels;

while tortured nails

of the ultimate test

they were abruptly driven

through its balanced and tense meat;

“forgive them please”

he was heard to say

that eventful day

raised his eyes and silently

prayed

while at the stake;

“You will be with me

in the embrace of paradise”

promised a man

through his tortured face a man who didn’t deserve it

however the promise

will not be forgotten, forever

while the spring new moon

traveled forward

through space

to light up the world at night somewhere else i didn’t know

what happened;

the thrust of a spear

in a man’s side, as blood spilled

like tears,

on the ground lay;

the price made on that day, as a debt

that was finally paid

or purchase for free –

a Slavic captive;

“Why have you left me?”

in tortured bread,

with eyes looking up to the sky

body writing in shame;

the broken body

of a lifeless dove, hanging from a post-

a fair trade

by a tragic mistake;

“I will bear your burdens if you believe,

to the waters of life

I will guide you”,

is what he said

two thousand years ago

before his death;

and in the leaves of the trees that give life, for a thousand years,

you will feed

a story of tragedy, triumph,

of the millennium plan

skillfully woven.

end of poem

The last night About the last hours of Jesus on earth and death. An interesting fact about the death of Jesus is that, according to biblical scholars, Jesus most likely died on a simple stake, rather than a two-piece cross. The original Greek words often translated “cross”, originally meant an upright stake or post, as used in Jesus’ day, and the form of execution used in Roman times was a stake. The cross was a pagan symbol that later became part of Christianity, explains Vine’s Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words. The poem is based on the gospel accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

This, of course, does not take anything away from the supreme act of love that Jesus Christ did in favor of others, in which he willingly gave up his life to pay for the song of humanity and give those who believe the opportunity of eternal life. , according to the bible. Jesus said, “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever exercises faith in him might not be destroyed but have eternal life.” Jesus said, too, “Greater love has no one than this, which should lay down his soul on behalf of his friends.”

As Jesus was being executed, he prayed to God: “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” Jesus had taught his followers to pray for his enemies, and to bless those who persecute them, and he practiced what he himself preached.

He continued to think, not of himself, but of others as they executed him. He told the weeping woman as he was being led to Golgotha: “Weep not for me, but for yourselves, for…” Jesus knew the trials that awaited some of these women.

He asked his closest disciple, John, from the torture stake to take his mother home: “Look at your mother.” And to Maria, her mother said: “Look at your son.” She said this even when she was in the last hours of her life. And before she died, she blessed the sincere and repentant wrongdoer who was being executed along with him, “Truly I tell you today, you will be with me in paradise.”

Could anyone have invented such a high ethic? Such a story of the highest level of self-sacrifice ever written about a real historical person? It seems highly unlikely that anyone could have cleverly crafted such a story. Jesus Christ was a real part of history, and while some doubt some of the details of his life and death, the fact remains that no man has left as great an imprint on earth as this humble carpenter and minister, Jesus Christ. He was the greatest man that ever lived, and the Bible says that he rose at the right hand of God, where he was appointed by God as King and Judge of all the earth. He is our Savior, He is our Redeemer. He is the Son of God. He is our Lord.

Siliguri first gave the impression of a sleepy town, the day we traveled to Hotel Impees from New Jalpaiguri railway station by autorickshaw. Although we had to pay a lot, the ride was really nice as the occupants of this city were slowly getting up from their beds. The weather was cool and invigorating as the majestic Kanchenjunga shimmered with a silver aura in the distance. Our notion of a sleeping city turned out to be wrong as the day wore on. The hustle and bustle, in general, was the contribution of autorickshaws, cycle rickshaws, bicycles and dilapidated buses jostling for space on the roads.

Siliguri’s rise as a major hub began when a large part of Jalpaiguri district was swept away by floods in 1968. Located between Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling districts, Siliguri is a transit point to destinations such as Nepal, Bhutan, Gangtok and Darjeeling. The Bogdarga airport located on the outskirts of the city offers tourists from other states and abroad an excellent stopover on trips to all the northeastern cities connected by air. The Mahananda River, which runs through the city, is a major attraction. However, the places of interest for tourists in the city are limited to the Kali temple and some viewpoints along the banks of Mahananda.

Our hotel receptionist suggested taking an autorickshaw to Sevok, located on the outskirts of the city. This turned out to be an excellent idea, as we got away from the bustle of the city into incredibly beautiful landscapes and stretches of reserved forest on both sides of the road leading to Sevok. A few kilometers after leaving the city, the traffic slowed down dramatically as we entered the Mahananda wildlife sanctuary. The flora and fauna here are unique. Conservation activities have begun in earnest to preserve what is left after unchecked poaching and logging have left a badly depleted reserve. The forestry department provides the tourist with the opportunity to enjoy elephant rides through the forests. Our first stop was to cross the Nandi River, which is in fact a branch of the Mahananda when the river splits and flows in two different directions around a hill. The riverbed was not quite dry as it flowed along one of the banks. The sight was stunning with a railway bride in the background adding a romantic touch.

It was time to move on as we had a tight schedule. Three and a half kilometers uphill we come to the steps leading to the Kali temple at Sevok on the side of the road. The temple stands on a rocky hill. We opted not to go down here as time was running out. Directly ahead of this is the point where the path forks. One goes to Sikkim -Gangtok and the other to Assam, The Coronation Bridge which was inaugurated right after the coronation of… stands at this point on the road leading to Assam. A sight to behold, the bridge rises some 400 feet above the Teesta River which flows below with a bluish-green tint. Teesta joins Mahananda a little further on, after which is the India-Bangladesh border. This has been a place of contention between India and its neighbor for quite some time. The vast riverbeds where these two rivers meet resemble a huge plain that stretches for miles. Looking down from the Coronation Bridge, the waters of Teesta looked clear and inviting. Without thinking for a moment, we went down the steps that led to the river bank. Spending an hour and a half on those shores, occasionally dipping our feet into the water that looked crystal clear up close, was not enough to satisfy our appetite for more. The mesmerizing backdrop of mountains and greenery was intoxicating, but sadly we were running late and it was time to head back.

During the afternoon, a few hours before boarding the train to Trivandrum, we visited the Bidan and Hongkong markets. Every conceivable item was available there, but the prices were sky-high. Since our hosts had warned us about this, not much money was stolen from us. The apples and oranges on display looked fresh and we brought some back. Walking back to the hotel, just on the side of the road was the famous Kanchenjunga stadium where a football match between India and the Philippines was being played.

It was 9 pm when we arrived at the Nuevo Jalpaiguri train station. A steam locomotive is on display at the station and has a few admirers, mostly children. The Dibrugarh-Kanyakumari express was delayed for two hours and the night was getting colder. When the train finally entered, I couldn’t help but look in the direction of Kanchenjunga, which had captivated me the previous days, now shrouded in darkness. The experiences here, which rejuvenate our minds, bodies, and souls, will stand the test of time, I told myself, settling into the comfortable rolls of blankets on the bunk for a good night’s sleep.

TAX REFORM 2017

Let’s look at some of the tax changes for 2017. The changes will affect many taxpayers, some changes will make you happy and some you won’t like. Originally, there were rumors about going from seven tax brackets to five. In my opinion, the new tax brackets are better than the old brackets. Our 2017 tax brackets start at 10%, the income range is the same as 2016 for all filing statuses. The 15% tax bracket has been replaced by the 12% tax bracket. The income range is the same as in 2016 for the 15% tranche. Our next and last group included in this article is 22% down from 25% in 2016. The difference starts at MFS (Married Filing Separately), income ranges from $38,701 to $82,500, which is different from 2016, which was up to $78,075.

The standard deduction increased for the upcoming tax season. I’d be happy except that the exemption credit was phased out due to the increase in the standard deduction. This is where families will see the difference in their refunds. In prior years, the exemption credit increased by $50 each year. In 2016, the exemption credit was $4,050 per person on your return. Example: A family with a husband, wife, and four children would receive an exemption credit of $24,300 plus a standard deduction of $9,350.

The new standard deduction for HOH will be $18,000 more than $9,350, almost a double increase. You will lose the exemption credit of $4,050.

The credit for children and dependents increased to $2,000 per child under age 17, taxpayers will not receive the full $2,000 as a refund. The refund portion will be up to $1,400 per qualifying child and a $500 nonrefundable dependent credit for nonqualifying children.

Deductions for moving expenses will not be allowed on tax returns for tax year 2017. Alimony is no longer deductible by the person paying the alimony or included in the income of the person receiving it after December 31 2018. That sounds great for the person receiving alimony, not so great if they have to pay it. Casualty losses are no longer allowed unless it is a Presidentially declared disaster. Miscellaneous deductions have been eliminated, which means union dues, tax preparer fees, uniforms, etc. will not be allowed to proceed.

There are many changes for the 2017 tax season. Be prepared to bring more information if you claim head of household filing status this year.

Note: There may be some changes before the 2017 tax filing season begins.

Have a great year and enjoy tax season!

Weaning can be one of the most exciting times for a mom and, of course, for the baby too! New flavors, new sensations and new expressions… you will begin to appreciate the saying: “Variety is the spice of life!”

However, it can be a bit stressful, and there is no question that if you want your baby to have the best and most nutritious start to life possible, you MUST get organized. SO…

my best tips

1 – Think a day in advance!

2 – Keep a diary: this is vital to monitor reactions to food, baby’s mood, which may be related to changes in blood sugar levels and will of course be something to refer to years later or when number 2 arrives.

3 – Introduce ONE food at a time. This is important to note any unusual reactions (especially if there are signs of allergy or a history of allergy in the family).

4 – When you are going to introduce a new food to your baby, leave it 3 days before starting any new food. Signs of an allergic reaction include sneezing, runny nose, diarrhea, vomiting, rash, or ear infection.

5 – Alternate foods from one day to the next as much as possible.

6 – Be patient – mealtimes should not be rushed. Your baby will decide when he is full.

7 – Persevere in a meal, if at first your baby does not seem to like it. Try again the next day, or in a few days or weeks.

8 – Try not to worry too much during the weaning process!

9 – When you are “away from home”, the best foods to take with you are bananas and ripe avocados. Both are easy to mix and will be tasty, nutritious and satisfying for your baby!

10 – If your baby becomes a little constipated when you first give him solid food… don’t panic. Bowls may take a while to “wake up” with solid food. Try giving him kiwi!

By the time a baby reaches the age of 6 months (usually having doubled its birth weight), energy (calorie) requirements, as well as nutrient requirements such as protein, iron (see below), selenium, zinc, vitamin A & D, & essential fatty acids, exceeds what can be supplied by breast milk. Ideally, quality breast milk or follow-on milk should be continued until at least the age of one year. DO NOT give a baby cow’s milk until she is AT LEAST one year old. Some believe that she should be closer to 2 years old; I would definitely say 2 if there is a history of allergies in the family.

Build the food for the next 4 months “loosely” in the following order…

Vegetables and Fruits – See note below, but overall enjoy presenting a full variety! Fruits are easy to introduce as babies love sweetness and of course they learn what NATURAL sweetness is. Avoid fruit juices. Fruits also go well with vegetables, but try not to rely too much on fruits, just because you think your baby is more likely to want something sweet! Just look at some fruits with large seeds like raspberries – kiwis should be fine. Frozen fruits and vegetables, such as peas, are fine for your baby and can be very helpful to use!

Legumes and beans, well cooked and well blended, try chickpeas, white beans and puy lentils. These mash up well and pair with savory or sweet ingredients and add bulk for satisfying.

Cooked brown rice, quinoa, millet, and tapioca: Homemade porridges or purees using these grains are better than store-bought baby rice. If you need to use baby rice, make sure you buy one that is organic and FREE from fillers, eg Organix.

Lamb, poultry, and fish (especially oily fish like wild trout and sea bass which have the lowest levels of PCBs and mercury): Introduce these in small amounts at first, concentrating on organic meats if possible. After introducing meat like lamb or chicken, your baby’s mood and energy levels may soar!

At 6-9 months, iron requirements are believed to be 7-8 mg/day.

To give you an idea of ​​how to get there, mix and match the following foods that are good sources of iron…

• 4 dried apricots (best soaked and crushed) – 5mg
• 100g cooked red lentils – 2.4mg (pair with something sweet for an interesting dish)
• 100g of cooked peas – 2mg
• * 100 g of cooked spinach – 1.6 mg (do not give up to 1 year)
• 100g of cooked chickpeas – 1.5mg
• 1 tablespoon blackstrap molasses – 1.5mg
• 4 plums – 1mg
• 100 g of cooked sweet potato – 1 mg
• 150g cooked pumpkin – 1mg
• ½ avocado – 0.4mg
• 100g cooked cabbage – 0.4mg
• 1 tablespoon of grapes – 0.4 mg
• 100 g of cooked carrot – 0.4

More thoughts…

Focus on vegetables as much as fruits for the first few weeks if you can. Try “sweeter” vegetables like carrots, parsnips, peas and sweet potatoes, squash, asparagus, cauliflower, and broccoli.

Shop seasonally and locally whenever you can. Do not stop introducing a food that you do not like or that you did not like as a child! Remember, with a baby, you are starting out with a clean palate and NO understanding or experience of likes and dislikes. So go ahead with Brussels sprouts, broccoli, squash, leeks, turnips, or mushrooms—they might surprise you! ALL of these vegetables are fantastically healthy in their own right!

N.B

In general, it is recommended to avoid the “deadly nightshade family” of vegetables, as they contain substances that a baby may be sensitive to. These include eggplant, tomatoes, potatoes, and bell peppers. Wait until the first year is over!

After introducing them as individual foods, try these “mashed” or “puree” combinations…

• Ripe avocado and banana
• Ripe avocado and mango
• sweet potato and peas
• Quinoa and papaya porridge
• quinoa and kiwi
• beets and peas
• broccoli and peas
• Orchard fruit puree – apple, ripe pear and peach
• Apple, parsnip and butternut squash
• Apricot and turnip – don’t be afraid to combine fruits and vegetables – be imaginative!

• Combos of meat, fish and beans..
• Chicken, rice or sweet potato and broccoli
• Lamb, peas, sweet potato
• Tuna salad: crushed and blended yellowfin tuna, avocado, natural yogurt, chopped chives and lemon juice.
• Mashed beans and root vegetables: kohlrabi, celeriac, sweet potato, and organic baked beans (sweetened with apple juice)

Other foods that will form your baby’s “diet”…

Appropriately fortified foods, for example, goat’s milk, organic baby rice, cooked brown rice, tapioca, millet, and quinoa porridge. These cereals have a very low allergenic potential, as well as being excellent sources of protein and carbohydrates (see above).

* Spinach is a good source of iron (as well as calcium and vitamin A), but it is best left until the baby is 1 year old.

Blue-green algae and spirulina are widely available green “superfoods” in supplement form, and are useful additions for vegan/vegetarian babies, “atopic” babies, especially those who don’t start eating grains of any kind until the age of 1 to 2 years .

(NOTE: 10 g of dry spirulina provides almost 3 mg of iron).

For these babies, the best cereals to start introducing are millet and quinoa, very nutritious, gluten-free and excellent sources of protein and iron. Both can be cooked and served as porridge, with interesting additions, such as banana or papaya.

How much food should I give?

The following is a guideline for the first 3 months of weaning, eg 6-9 months of age.

Weeks 1 and 2: Try 1-2 teaspoons at lunch, mid-feed or bottle feed.

Weeks 3 and 4 – As above + 1-2 teaspoons at breakfast mid-bottle or breast-feeding. Increase feeding at lunchtime to 3-4 tsp.

Weeks 5 and 6 – 1-2 teaspoons at breakfast. Introduce 2 lunchtime dishes with 5-6 teaspoons, and introduce a teatime feeding of 2-3 teaspoons.

Weeks 7 and 8: As above, offer solid foods FIRST at lunchtime, then top up with milk.

Weeks 9 & 10 – As above + solids only for lunch + water from a beaker – offer solids FIRST at tea time.

Weeks 11 and 12: Solids for lunch and tea only. Give a glass of water after lunch and tea.

A promotional item, also known as a promotional item, is merchandise imprinted with your business name, logo, and contact information that is given free of charge to the public, customers, or prospective customers in an effort to promote a business or increase interest or sales. Although promotional items are used for different purposes, their main purpose is to constantly expose the name of a company.

While there’s a lot to be said for being innovative, when it comes to promotional items to advertise your business, some of the old standards are still the best and most popular (eg pens, sticky pads, magnets, etc.). If you’re looking for promotional giveaways to get your name in front of your customers, sometimes it pays to stick with the tradition. There is no element that fits a company for example, factors change qualifications, such as the project, the incentive, the goal, the budget, etc.

Promotional products capture people’s attention every day (for example, mugs, pens, key chains, etc.). They are the only medium that involves all five senses. Customers can see them (eg, all of them), hear (eg, AM/FM radio), touch (eg, fan), taste (eg, chocolates), and even smell them (eg eg, candles). Promotional items are a proven benefit to marketing a business at a reasonable price, ranging from very inexpensive to more expensive. Like any other marketing strategy, it all depends on your project.

Promotional items can be used to:

o Build new business: to motivate the sales representative to increase sales or introduce a new company.

o Retail promotion: to increase retail sales.

o Launch of new products- to increase public awareness.

o Create awareness: to increase income, for example, for research projects.

o Motivation of employees: to improve employee attendance and the quality of customer service.

o Fundraising: Building a higher profile for the foundation and raising funds for ongoing projects.

o Brand your own line to boost and expand your company.

o Generate customer referrals – to help encourage customers to provide you with the names of friends and associates whom you may contact in the future.

o Stimulate Trade Show Traffic: Increase traffic to an exhibitor’s trade show booth.

or etc.

With thousands of promotional items to choose from, it’s always best to start with a plan (ie: project, incentive, goal, budget, etc.). If you’re not sure which item best represents your current company, ask your marketing consultant. Promotional items are a cost-effective way to get your ROI while making a lasting impression, a case study found that promotional items are kept for at least two years by thirty-five percent of people. Because promotional items are useful and appreciated, they are kept and used, repeating the printed message many times at no additional cost to the advertiser. The number of impressions is high, as many people view the items or stream them. Promotional items have been proven to work and will only increase in demand, so if you’re not currently using them, start giving your business the edge it deserves.

Gambling today has become a way of life for many people. They start and end the day by playing their favorite videos and online games. Many people actually find gaming to be addictive – you just won’t feel good or complete without firing your virtual gun or building a digital house or fortress in a day.

But in order to feel completely satisfied and happy with your gaming experience, you must have and use the right game console. To make sure you choose the right one for you, here are some helpful tips you can follow:

Have sufficient knowledge about different game consoles. – Do some research on the various game consoles available on the market today. Each of them is unique and different from each other. Use the Internet and read up on its specifications, features, and capabilities. Also, before you shop at a physical store or online store that sells game consoles, ask the sales staff for their recommendation. Many of these sellers are gamers and can provide you with valuable information and advice.

Consider the versatility of the console – Most, but not all, game consoles today can also be used as Blu-ray DVD players. As such, a device that has this capability can allow you to have a console that doubles as an all-purpose media hub. This option also allows you to reduce the number of Media Coins you will need to purchase and store.

Find out what kind of games a console offers – There are some games that you will only find on certain consoles and not on others. Make sure the games you really want to play are available for the console you’re hoping to get. There are also various styles of games, such as first-person shooters, racing, and platformers. And if you’re primarily interested in racing games, make sure the console you choose offers a good variety of the style of play you enjoy.

Determine how many people will play or use the device frequently – Ask yourself: is it going to be for one person? Or will your friends or family be playing with you regularly? Please note that each game console also satisfies each of these requirements differently.

Consider your online capacity – Finally, not all consoles have the ability to access or play online. If you want to play online with other players, please choose a game console that supports this feature.

If you wonder if it is possible to meet women without fear of rejection. I am going to tell you that YES it is possible! And the reason I know that is because of a guy named Joseph Matthews.

You see, he is the author of The Art of Approaching Women, which is the guide that tells you how to eliminate your fear of meeting women. He will tell you how to go after the “9” and “10”… and get them!

And yes, most guys are afraid of being rejected by attractive women. But let me assure you that “fear” itself is just that… a “fear”. It has no basis in reality.

However, having said that… girls will reject you if you project yourself as an unworthy man… a beta male… you know what I mean… Do you act like you expect them to reject you before you do? even ask them for their email?

Now get this…lots of women and especially HOT women are accosted by jerks and creeps every day. They are experts in rejecting men! And they have too because #1…insecure men are biologically unlikable to them. And #2… insecure men are creepy.

So the key is to project a confident man who doesn’t care if the woman rejects him or not. How would you like to be that boy?

(EVERYONE RAISING HANDS!)

Yes, that is what I am talking about and this is where Joseph Matthews shines. In fact, I’ve seen videos of him approaching and talking to women and let me tell you this…Joseph is nothing special to look at. He is overweight. And despite this… her confidence in him is through the roof and women fall for him!

no joke here…

My point is this… most men have this image (probably propagated by movies and TV) that a man has to be handsome, rich and famous to get attractive women. The real truth couldn’t be more opposite… Women place more emphasis on confidence and status than men.

So…if you’re interested in approaching women literally without fear…I definitely recommend reading The Art of Approaching Women by Joseph Matthews.

Thirty-five years is a long time. That’s how long I’ve been running my company, Mid-Hudson Marketing. That’s long enough to have seen all kinds of economic climates. Fortunately, in each of them, marketing has continued to provide a thriving livelihood.

Economies rise and fall, twist and turn, but marketing is a discipline practiced by the most successful companies. Marketing is one of those professions that is related to innovative thinking, creativity and psychological manipulation. Using such techniques, the savvy salesperson finds ways around obstacles such as the scare tactics used by some of the media in an economic downturn. When the masses are convinced that the end is near, the savvy salesman seizes it as an opportunity to provide exactly what is needed: a way to restore life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

One way to do this is to ignore the storm of media negativity and remain steadfast in your commitment to the product or service you offer. While you may have seen a drop in demand for whatever it is you sell, you know that you still offer something that is needed, whether your market prefers to buy it right now or not. The trick is to present your availability in a fresh and new way, catching intimidated markets off guard. This is where creativity and innovation come into play. Some may call it guerilla marketing, but I like to think of it as a new level of appeal. If they want it enough (translate: if you make it desirable enough), they’ll buy it!

One of my clients called me the other day to tell me that marketing has changed. As a result of his annual dental marketing seminar, he now knows that social marketing is the new commercial marketing technique. of the day but with a big one warning. He said you need to address your vulnerability to competitors posting negative comments about you, the results over which you will have no control.

Another of my clients enjoys the rewards of Google’s ubiquitous dominance over Internet commerce. Having followed Google’s recipes for success, my client’s website appears at the top of multiple search results, giving him an edge over the global competition he never dreamed possible.

Oh yeah. We live in an age where a sole proprietorship can compete on equal footing with an international giant if one’s marketing is truly inspired. Is it possible to be part of today’s global business culture and yet still be objective enough to take a step back and see the forest for the trees? Can a marketer draw on the wisdom of his experience by devising new strategies for recognition in uncharted waters?

One only has to look at the success of such incredible entrepreneurs as Larry Page and Sergey Brin, co-founders of Google; Evan Williams and Biz Stone, co-founders of Twitter; or, Chad Hurley, Steve Chen and Jawed Karim, who created Youtube; without forgetting many others, such as AppleSteve Jobs and Steven Wozniak; Microsoftof Bill Gates and Paul Allen; Amazonby Jeff Bezos; gold ebayby Pierre Omidyar. All of these people had a vision to create entities to fill a need in an emerging culture. In fact, some might say that they created, rather than filled, a need within the culture through brilliant marketing and amazing business acumen. While all of these businesses continue to evolve as times change, how can we as members of this society not respect the audacity of their successes?

Amazingly, each of them navigated uncharted waters and discovered new horizons of technological excellence in the process. Once again, I ask, can the humble business owner be inspired by such geniuses to raise his own trade to a level of continued prosperity despite economic uncertainty? I say anything is possible because we are perpetually in a state of economic uncertainty, whether it is 1975, 1995, or 2015. All it takes is the belief that there are no limits to one’s creativity and that self-confidence is the most powerful force. in achieving the impossible. “Be true to yourself…” – Shakespeare, Village

While it may be true that not everyone learns most effectively by doing the same things, there are certain fundamentals you can follow to virtually guarantee academic success while in college. No matter what degree you take or what college you’re enrolled in, college classes are structured in a similar way. Lectures, textbook readings, assignments, projects, quizzes, partial and final exams. Knowing the class format in advance allows students to create a strategy that, when implemented and sustained, results in good grades and less stress. Here are our top 10 study habits you should try to implement into your strategy for academic success in college!

#10 – Take Long Notes

Probably the most tedious of our top 10, taking good notes is hard to do consistently. In our ADHD world, many students find it difficult to stay focused long enough to record the information that is given during lectures. However, when it comes time to write a quiz/quiz/exam, you’ll be glad you have that pile of notes to review and refresh your brain. Taking good notes is itself an act of learning, since one cannot write something that does not make sense on some level. This small act goes a long way in creating the foundation for a solid understanding of the material being covered. Taking notes also has the added benefit of keeping the brain busy and awake by preventing restlessness and boredom. A great method I learned in my first year of Engineering was to write down everything that seemed useful in any way, almost as if you were transcribing the lecture. Later that day, transfer and rewrite the notes in an understandable form in another notebook. This will consolidate the information in your mind, moving the material from your short-term memory to your long-term memory. Lastly, notes have become a source of income for many students, as those who take excellent notes are often sought after by lazier students who are willing to pay a premium for a great set of notes to study. Not only will you get good grades, but you’ll also get paid to do it. If that’s not win-win, I don’t know what is!

#9 – Getting old tests and assignments

If possible, try to find tests and assignments from previous years to get a good idea of ​​what subject instructors are most likely to test you on. They do not need to have the answers to be useful, and in fact, for many students they are even more useful without them because this way the student can attempt the test/assignment as a check of their knowledge, identifying the weak areas in which they are missing. you should go. go back and study again. Old tests and assignments are often available through class websites, student union websites, or college clubs or associations. A common tactic many students use for science classes with a lab section is to find a graded lab notebook from a previous year. Labs are notoriously difficult in terms of time constraints and what is expected of a student’s lab report. Having a format to follow is an incredible help and knowing where No making mistakes is invaluable too.

#8 – Start studying for exams EARLY

Between academics and your social life, time is not something you will have left over throughout your college career. But one thing you should always make time for is studying for exams. There’s nothing worse than leaving all your studying for the night before a big test or exam. Stress causes your brain to panic and when you panic, you won’t learn as much as you normally would. Studying a little each night during the week leading up to the test will not only prepare you better, but it will eliminate most of the stress that you would have if you had left studying until the last minute. Early exam study allows a student to identify weaknesses in their understanding of it and prioritize their study accordingly. Imagine studying until the wee hours of your test day only to find that you’ve completely ignored a section that you have little to no understanding of. Don’t let that happen by studying EARLY!

#7 – Use a laptop during class if possible

If allowed, use a laptop to take notes during your lectures. Most students can type faster than they can type, so they will be able to record much more information than they normally would. If your classroom has Wi-Fi, you’ll have the added ability to research topics you’re not sure about during class breaks or breaks. If a teacher uses a word you’ve never heard of before, just hit the Alt key on dictionary.com and look it up. Or, if the lesson is completely over your head, email the professor from your seat and set up an appointment to discuss the day’s lesson. There are many uses for a laptop during class, I’ll let you imagine the other not-so-academic uses. Many students have grown up with a computer as a staple in their lives, so it’s only natural to use it as a learning tool as well. It’s an easy transition for your brain to go from Facebook to Powerpoint! If buying a laptop is in your future, check out our article for tips on choosing a cheap student laptop.

#6 – Use your time wisely

Between classes, as well as before and after school, there are plenty of opportunities to sneak in some studies or assignments that many students don’t realize or simply don’t use. I have known people who would study on the bus to and from school. I have also met people who would combine their time at the gym with their study time! Just bring your notes and instead of watching TV and listening to your iPod, wear earplugs and read your notes. You get a workout for your body and for your brain! Always keep your notes handy and try to use any free time you have, even for simple review, to make sure you’re on top of the material. All those little moments you fill with studying will really add up to a solid understanding and you’ll find you need less studying come test time. That’s huge.

#5 – Get your questions resolved as soon as possible!

College classes tend to operate with the “snowball effect” as the primary method for topic progression. That is, the information is cumulative and the last thing you learned will be critical to understanding what comes next. So whenever you don’t understand something or have a question on the subject, get your question answered as soon as possible. Whether it’s asking during or after class, via email or phone call to the teacher, or even asking a fellow student, you need to stay on top of the topic so you’re ready for the next material that comes your way. Don’t let the holes in your understanding become wells of knowledge for the future!

#4 – Meet some of your classmates

This can be extremely difficult and stressful for many people these days. Meeting people is increasingly difficult in a world of social stigma and fear of disapproval. I’m not going to tell you how to meet people, just that when you do, the benefits will be immediately apparent. Having a partner to sit with during class, having someone to lean on to take notes on a lesson you missed, being able to bounce questions and ideas with someone, and most importantly, having someone to check your answers with. task. before you turn it in, they’re all terrific reasons to swallow your nerves and start saying “Hi! My name is…” to people in your class.

#3 – Explore other classroom resources

Many class outlines will have “optional” readings listed along with the required textbook. This is often a GREAT opportunity for easy grades and guaranteed success in that particular class. Teachers are human just like you and me. Your job is to transmit the required material and then test it. If they are using the required textbook as a reference for the learning part, where do you think they will get the material for the test part? If you said “the required textbook”, you are wrong and you need to stop thinking like a high school student! Teachers often take test questions from their favorite textbooks, resulting in quality assessments from a trusted source. Those favorite textbooks are often listed as optional reading material on the class website or course outline. Also, don’t forget about the powerful Internet. YouTube is an amazing resource for tutorials, recorded lectures from other schools, and general knowledge videos on every topic imaginable. Use Wikipedia and Google too to find additional (often better!) resources on whatever you’re struggling with.

#2 – Pre-reading reading material

I discovered this one by chance, even if it is, or should be common sense. One night I was bored. Really boring. I grabbed a textbook for a class whose lesson I had the next morning and started reading from where we stopped in the previous lesson. It was hard to understand and required a lot of concentration to get through, but the next day in class while listening to the teacher, it crystallized in my mind and it was easy from then on. It had the added benefit of engaging my long-term memory, giving me a greater and more complete understanding of the material. It makes sense if you think about it, I was essentially learning the material twice. Once independently and once with the help of an expert. These combined into a solid understanding that I still possess to this day. Now I’d love to suggest that you do this for every class, every night. But we all know that’s unreasonable, so what I suggest is that you use this technique for anything you find too difficult or abstract. That way, you’ll have a huge head start understanding and mastering the hard stuff, and plenty of time to fill in the gaps with the easy stuff!

#1 – Go to class!

While going to class sounds too simple to be our most effective study habit, it really is, and I’ll tell you why. Going to class not only keeps you disciplined and focused on what you need to do in college, but also allows you to absorb the subject simply by sitting through lectures. If you’re an auditory learner, this is huge because just listening to the lectures will build an understanding that should be enough to pass the class itself. If you are a visual learner, seeing the notes being written on the board or reading the slides during the presentation will give you the understanding you need to pass the class. Going to class also ensures that you get the latest news on homework, tests, quizzes and exams straight from your teacher’s mouth. You don’t want to be that student who shows up to class once a week only to find out there’s a test scheduled for that day! Simply going to your classes like you’re supposed to is much more powerful than most students realize. If you look at the nine tips above, you’ll see that most of them require this step as a prerequisite, so it should also be an indicator of how important it is to attend your classes without fail.

As a student who has failed classes and received honors in classes, I can definitely say that the above tips and techniques will work for you. It’s up to you if you use some or all, but remember that college is an individual sport and you’ll only get what you’re willing to invest! I hope you found these tips useful and informative, good luck and stay stylish!
