MARCH: effective studying
Main Points of Class
Study is your first professional work, not just a preparation for work.
The primary goal of studying is to learn. In addition, a critical skill you learn by studying is training the mind to concentrate on the work at hand – a fundamental characteristic of a good professional. It is made possible by studying “at the right time” and “in the right place.”
In professional life, people measure you by your performance. In school, you are measured, in great part, by your grades.
You need to develop good study habits now.
Learning is not just for school. It’s for your whole life. Get used to it. Get good at it.
In-class activity: Dressing Well for Others, Part 2
Refinement should not make us stand out. We draw attention to ourselves either when we dress “too well” or too poorly.
The purpose of dressing well is to give the best of ourselves to the people around us by raising the tone and making life more pleasant for them.
Following objective principles in how we dress ensures that we will make life more pleasant for those around us.
