Book Review on "Life Strategies for Teens"
Life Strategies for Teens

This book tells about the ten Life Laws that the author’s father has written about, but into a way that teens can easily understand. These Life Laws are to get us understand more why our lives are like this at the moment, what we have done has led our lives to be like this. The Laws are to help us to get back onto the right track with life, dealing with the problems we face, creating our own lives and future. It tells us that it is up to ourselves to create a life that we want; it is all by our control.

I haven’t learnt really much, in a narrow speaking definition, of studying in this book, as it most tells me about the attitude and things to do, concerning our whole lives but not just on studying. But Life Law Four ‘You cannot change what you do not acknowledge’ did help me to see that there are actually more I can do to improve my results and to achieve success. I came to know that I should have done much more. As it says in the book that ‘Life rewards action’ as Life Law five, I came to realize that I have much more that I want to achieve than I had even thought of. As I get to know that not until I do it, I would never know what is out there waiting for me. There are always greater possibilities than we could ever imagine for ourselves. We should always aim for more and higher, as long as you have the desire and is willing to do the things you want to do, you always can, in one way or the other.

So after reading the book, there are a few things I would like to achieve. I would, of course, want to keep up with my result, as the curriculum will only be harder and requires more effort to be paid. Schedule is expected to be filled up with homework, tests, exam and revision, as well as projects of different subjects. Apart from keeping up my result and a GPA of 3.5 or above, I would like myself to do more extra work for studying, like to prepare more before the lesson, read some more extra information about that topic, or even do more

    Life is an ongoing cycle, forever trapped within the consumerism, legalism, and ruthlessness of modern society. Only through our fleeting innocence, purity and the appreciation of our natural world are we able to go beyond society’s harsh expectations and regulations that only end in the destruction of a person’s spirit.…

    Leamnson Response paper

    In the text Leamnson sums up how to learn. He speaks of how to maintain information that you have learned. He tells us, the readers how to take notes but instead he refers to it as “making notes”. In the article Leamnson quotes that “new Knowledge depends greatly on old knowledge”. He really made us think of time and our priorities. The things we put off and say we don’t have time for are things that we simply don’t have the desire to do. Leamnson discusses the misunderstanding between studying between the teacher and the student. I like how Leamnson says the whole purpose of his writing is to help us as the student, deal with worst case scenarios. Leamnson says very clearly to Worry about your work now! He brings up the great point that all of your interest had to be learned! How can you decide you don’t like an academic subject if you have not learned it!…

    This classes teaches you how to be successful in college and ways to do that. I've learned so many strategies from the On Course textbook. I was lacking in motivation, so I tried the formula for motivation and found my motivation level to be lower than I would like it to be. My value on my education was a 5. My expectation on my education to be a 5. And my motivation was a 25 which was very low. To improve my score and try to make it increase I set goals using DAPPS which is dating my goals, making them achievable, positive and personal, and specific. I also created my life plan. The life plan made me realize my dreams as a student and what my short term goals were. Setting goals using DAPPS really encouraged me and made me want to accomplish them. Dating my goals made it feel like a challenge and that made me want to go for it more. Achievable made me think that I can do this and that there's no way that I can't. A positive goal was easy for me to think of. Lastley, being specific made me visualize what the outcome of my goal will look like. Using the DAPPS made my motivation…

    In terms of structure, I found that having various assignments throughout the week helped me keep on task throughout the semester. Making sure discussions, reading questions, and Writer’s Workshop got completed caused me to spend a significant amount of time working on the assignments and checking the syllabus for what was to come next. Ultimately, the fast pace of the course helped me in continually working on assignments, instead of procrastinating until the last minute. Similarly to the course content I didn’t find anything bothersome of the course structure.…

    Life is a learning process, a puzzle especially in a student life which imposes much sacrifice and plenty of restless days.

In anything we choose to be or to do, our skills will make us achieve our goals or improve the areas where our weakness is noticed. That weakness, usually, can be overcome if our ability to realize a fact is known.…

    The chapters were very interesting and are filled with many things that can be applied to life. Chapter four (4) for example, has an important point about how important setting goals are. Setting goals like, getting a higher G.P.A. along with proper time management will work to my benefit and will improve myself confidence when they are realized or even when the results of having such goals take impact in my life. The chapters also highlight the fact of surrounding yourself with positive motivation of people; that is if my goal is to get a higher G.P.A. then I should associate with people that have the same or very similar goals in terms of self improvement rather than people that don’t care much or at all about their G.P.A.. Chapter seven showed why it is important to be a lifelong learner, this is important in the field that I am pursuing, Computer Science, in which things are introduced and changed within a nights notice.…
