Student Success TipsTip #5 Change the Way You See
Yourself
You have just received advice at a relatively young age that it
took me years, and I do mean years
to figure out.
You can never rise any higher than your own image of yourself.
Have you ever known somebody in school who had a real low opinion
of herself or himself? No
matter what evidence they had to the contrary, they were always saying
they couldn’t do math or oral reports, or sports, or whatever.
And they never did do very well, did they?
Before you can ever hope for something better and expect it will
happen for you, whether it’s better grades, or a better social life at
school, you’ve first got to change the way you see yourself.
So, if you want better grades, immediately start seeing yourself
coming to class well-prepared, feeling confident as you answer the
teacher’s questions, and enjoying the great sense of accomplishment
that comes from getting a good grade on your project or test.
Want a better social life? More
friends? More dates?
More study buddies?
Well, see yourself as comfortable and confident as you interact
with others.
Notice how good they feel being around you because you are
genuinely open and friendly.
It all starts in your mind. See
yourself as you’d like to be and then move into that image. ***************************************** For all 101 Tips on Student Success as a download you can get right now, go to Success Store While you're there, check out my other downloadable
