Four Secrets of Successful Students

Successful students:
1)  Are not victims. They view both positive and negative experiences as opportunities to learn and make choices to create their own future.
2)  Seek personal meaning and overall sense of purpose. 
3)  Practice looking ahead to set future goals.  They break goals into smaller steps and identify specific actions to reach their goals.  This helps them avoid procrastination and actively bring future goals into the present.
4) Create relationships with people who are supportive.
