There’s a reason you’re reading this post. Are you curious? Are you looking to succeed? Either way, congratulations for clicking! It shows you have a willingness to learn, and that’s the first step to achieving success.
Dreaming of success is a helpful place to start, but success doesn’t truly begin until you take action. So how can you do that? Here are a few suggestions:
- Determine your goals, then establish clear short- and long-term milestones.
- Recognize how much time you have each day, and wisely choose how to spend it.
- Acknowledge that challenges and obstacles are a natural part of life. (Resolve to anticipate and overcome them on a daily basis. A positive attitude will help you find solutions more quickly than a negative, problem-focused attitude will.)
- Observe whom and what you surround yourself with, as well as the influence those people and things have on you, your situations and your decisions. In other words, how might your surroundings impact your ability to reach your goals?
- Realize that any choice you make will involve risk and the possibility of failure. But don’t forget: You won’t make progress until you choose to act!
If you’ve enrolled at EFSC, you’ve already taken an important first step toward your success. However, success is not limited to the grades you earn in the classroom. Success is a pattern of behavior — your overall readiness to become academically successful.
For example, ask yourself this question: Is it important to register for your next semester of classes expeditiously? Perhaps the more important question is this: Why is it important to register so promptly for classes?
First and foremost, by registering on time, you guarantee yourself a seat in the exact classes you need to accommodate your schedule and degree plan — before they fill up. In addition, you give yourself plenty of time to react to any last-minute changes or challenges that may arise. You could even save money you might otherwise lose on potential late registration fees!
Remember: Success is a behavior, not a specific list of criteria you have to fulfill. Because of this, anyone can change or enhance their behavior, which means each of us has an innate potential for success. All you need to do is act in ways that lead you closer to your own personal definition of success.
Eager to get started? You can put your successful behavior into action right now by registering early for your next semester of classes. So what are you waiting for? Start preparing yourself for success today!
