..:Efficiency,Discipline,Study,Relaxation:..

This is one of the article that my teacher gave me. It is really meaningful and we can try to apply it in our daily life. I think the results will not be so bad if we try it.^^

----Efficiency----
Everyone has the same 1440 minutes to work with each day-no more and no fewer. The management of those minutes is what's important. They fly by more swiftly than an eagle. You sit down to watch a few minutes of television, and suddenly an hour or two passes. The same thing happens when you play computer games. Minutes turn into hours before you know it.Learning how to efficiently manage your time is one of the most important skills you will ever develop. Time must be controlled, or it will control you. Use a daily planner or a handheld computer to map out your minutes.Spend some of your minutes in planning. What goals do you want to reach today? Make a list. Then learnt how exciting it is to cross an activity off your list after you've accomplished it. Spend some of your time in quiet reflection. Take the time to reflect on your day.Learn to conquer your minutes, and you'll have hours to spare.
{Real time management is self-management}
~MANAGE YOUR MINUTES~

----Discipline----
With a "crack", the ball hit the baseball bat and went sailing into the air toward centre field. It seemed lik it almost left the earth's atmosphere. Freddie ran back as fast as he could and positioned himself right underneath it. The ball came down fast. Then it hit the tip of his glove and fell to the ground. Angry about his error, Freddin grabbed the ball and, out of frustration, turned and threw it as hard as he could. The ball went flying over the third baseman's head and rolled out into the parking lot. Because he acted quickly and was out of control, Freddie turned in the wrong direction. If he had controlled his anger, he would have known where he was throwing.Life is filled with frustration moments. How you discipline yourself to react to them makes all the difference. If you react quickly and out of anger, you will probably "throw in the wrong direction".Take time to think about the problem, and think about your reaction. You'll make fewer errors.

~CONTROL YOUR TEMPER~

----Study----
Has your closet ever been so full that you had to just start cramming things in to make everything fit? What usually happens when you open the door the next day? Everything falls out, right? Or have you ever jammed so many clothes into a drawer that you couldn't get it shut?Imagine that your brain is a drawer or closet. Cramming a bunch of facts into it the night before a big exam may get you a passing grade once in a while-but usually everything falls out, even before you get to the classroom.If you want to do well on your tests, establish a study routine. Choose a time and place where you regularly open the books. Studying regularly is a lot better than studying frantically. Store facts in your brain a little at a time. It's just like storing information in files on the hard drive of your computer. If you store them properly, they're easier to find later.If you put too much on your mind's hard drive, you're in for a cash.
{I have found that the harder I work, the luckier I seem to be!}
~ESTABLISH REGULAR STUDY HABITS~

----Relaxation----
You live in a over-stimulated society. You rush from school to practice, to a job, to homework, and then to the mall for a soft drink-all in the same afternoon. All of the things you're involved in may be great, but sometimes you just need to push the "pause" button. You need to stop and smell the popcorn. You need to chill out once in a while.Your body needs it. You teen years are times of accelerated growth. Your body is in high gear, and it's going through tremendous changes. Once in a while you need to stop long enough for your legs to keep up with your arms! Times of relaxation allow your cells to regroup and rest for the work ahead.Your mind needs it too. Sometimes it's on overload. Homework, scripts, songs, plays, PIN numbers, cell phone numbers-you have a lot to think about. Sometimes you just need to stop thinking. Relax. Put your mind in neutral. It has a long trip ahead of it.Enjoy your life, you only have one!
{God has given me this day to use as I will. I can waste it, or use it for good, but what I do today is important because I am exchanging a day of my life for it}
~STOP AND SMELL THE POPCORN~

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less. These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...
