darn it!! i feel like slapping myself left right up down centre right now..
went sch in the morning and i heard this announcement, "pls move to the front.. the J1s are on study leave.." o.O J1s are on study leave?!?! doesnt tat mean tat she's not coming to sch today?!?! really really really really really regretted to have choosen to ignore her last thursday.. im sry.. =(
guess i will pass the letter to her on thurs.. when she's back for her GP paper.. gd luck!!
had a motivational tok in the morning.. by Adam Khoo (someone who is really really famous and charges a huge bill for his motivational talks) Click here for his webby (haven got time to explore it.. so u check it out urrself ya??)
he is a very motivated and animated speaker.. not easily put down by our bo chap attitude.. perhaps tats why everyone stayed awake for his one hour talk today.. or maybe its because he is super duper funny.. and tat he is sharing wif us his fomula for success..
for example..
Aim at the sky
cos if you fail,
you will at least make it to the clouds..
aa
for a person whose aim is to get 100/100 for a subject.. lets say phy.. he wld natually put in a 100% when study for phy.. not sparing any details in the notes.. memorising every single formula and make sure he gets it rite.. and at the end of the day, even if he makes some careless mistakes, he wld still get at least 80/100.. which is super good!!
aa
as compared to another guy whose aim is jus to get a pass.. he wld be putting in 50% of effort and saying things like.. aiya.. this one wont come out.. dun needa study.. this one not important.. dun needa memorise.. hmm.. this is easy.. i know i know.. (but paper come out he dunno).. at the end of the day, he is more likely to get below 50/100..
aa
he also said..
Event + Reaction = Outcome
and
Past is not equal to the future,
Future is in what you do now.
aa
your reaction to a certain event affects the outcome.. for example.. (touch wood!!)
aa
person A flung his prelims (event) he lets the failure overwhelm him.. he wallows in self pity.. he gives up mugging.. he gives up learning from his mistakes..(reaction) natually he will not do well for A lvls (outcome)
VS
aa
person B who also flug his prelims (event) picks up his broken heart.. hides in his room and mug all day.. motivates himself to study.. not bow down to difficulties (reaction) person B will definitely do better for his A lvls (outcome)
aa
moral of the story.. dun let pass experiences falter your fighting spirit.. stay focused on your goal and play till the end..
aa
Besides trying to motivate us.. he also gave us his
ULTIMATE SUCCESS FORMULA
aa
through his research on successful people.. he found that most, if not all of them, have something in common.. most successful people
set clear goals
use the right strategies
take appropriate action
and he went on to teach us how to plan our revision.. and the steps to study effectively
speed read
gather useful info
make notes
memorise the notes
he also said tat it is good to revise different subjects in one day.. cos.. it is impossible to mix up urr maths wif history.. but it is possible to mix up formulas of one chapt wif formulas of another chapt..
revise while everything is still fresh in urr mind.. so its good to do a short recap on what u've studied the day before.. before u start on a new chapt
he also mentioned that effective human attention spend is onli about 25 mins.. so its good to take a 5 mins.. i reapeat.. 5 mins!! not 5 hours not 5 days.. jus 5 mins.. be4 going back to work..
k.. i think todays post is really long and boring.. all words.. but i guess these are all useful info..
