1. The “Secrets”
of Success

2. 1. Recognize the Importance and
Benefits of Making a Commitment.
• The single most powerful predictor of success in the
long run is commitment, the willingness and desire to
work hard toward achieving clearly defined goals.
• Top achievers are more than just willing to work hard:
they want to work hard.

3. 2. “Work Out” (Study) at the Right Time
and in the Right Place.
• Identify the time of day when you are most alert and
rested.
• Then study at that same time every day. After three
weeks, it will become a habit.

4. 3. Avoid Negative Self-Talk and
Negative Verbalizations.
• Many students have the habit of negative self-talk:
“This is too hard,” “I’m not smart enough,” “I’ll never
get this,” or “This is hopeless.” When ever you have a
thought like this, STOP IT.
• Don’t accept negative comments
about yourself, and don’t make them.

5. 4. Decide What Kind of Person You
Want to Be.
• If you want to change the kind of student you are,
change the kind of person you are.
• You are what you say and do.

6. 5. Use Visualization.
• This means imagining yourself doing something
successful before you actually begin it. It’s like a
move you run in your head.
• Imitate a champion. Pattern yourself after someone
who is outstanding.

7. 6. Focus on Your Own Goal.
• If you are watching what someone else is doing, then
you are not focusing on what you need to do.
• Learn from others, but improve yourself.
• Just because someone wins the race, don’t assume it
was easy for them.

8. 7. Develop Mental Toughness
and Maintain Focus.
• Stress and setbacks are part of everyone’s life.
• You have to be tough.
• Everything depends on your mental outlook towards life.
• 98% of success is in your head.

9. 8. Have High Expectations
for Yourself.
• You have to expect things of yourself before you
can do them.
• Keep in mind that it is what you expect of yourself
that matters, not what others expect.
• Set your academic goals, and know what you are
wiling to do to achieve academic success.

10. 9. Show Up for Practice--
Even When You Don’t Feel Like It.
• Nearly all “good students” work very hard for their success.
• Success is not a matter of luck.
• Discipline is “remembering what you really want.”
• “The only discipline that lasts is self-discipline.”

11. 10. Always Give Your Best Effort.
• “There are three types of baseball players—those
who make it happen, those who watch it happen, and
those who wonder what happened.” --Tommy Lasorda
• “Shoot for the moon—even if you fall short you will
land among the stars.” --Gil Steinke
• Go for the gold. Make it habit to
try to hit the ball out of the park.

12. 11. Get Help from a “Coach.”
• Ask for guidance in class and outside of class, too.
• Good coaches--and good teachers--will not let you get
by with sloppy work, missed “workouts” (missed class
sessions or missing assignments), or a bad attitude.
Because they care whether or not you learn, they’ll push
prod, and nag. They won’t accept excuses.
• Good coaches and teachers see what
you can be rather than what you are.
