Getting the Most out of a session

Here are some tips to help your group get the most out of each study session:

·      Decide what you’re going to do in advance.

·      Prepare for the session, so you can make the most of your time together.

·      Take turns teaching, to reinforce your own knowledge.

·      Stick to the session topic.

By supplement your individual study with a study group, you can reinforce what you've learned, deepen your understanding of complex concepts, and maybe make a few new friends. Remember that a friend is a person who encourages you to do your best and to achieve on a high level, one who pushes you to try a little harder and a litter better. If someone pulls you down the wrong trails of life, then those people are not friends,(they are actually your enemies), and you must avoid them at all cost. Whoever said learning can’t be fun? Learning is enjoyable and exciting when you study with others.

7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens (Habit 4)

4. Think Win-Win

Teens can learn to foster the belief that is possible to create an atmosphere of Win-Win in every relationship. This habit encourages the idea that in any given discussion or situation both parties can arrive at a mutually beneficial solution. Your teen will learn to celebrate the accomplishments of others instead of being threatened by them. Win-Win is a belief that everyone can win. It’s both nice and tough all at once. I won’t step on you, but I won’t care about yourself, and you want sucked at well.  Win-Win is abundant. It is belief that there’s plenty of success to go around. It’s not either you or me. It’s both of us. It’s not a matter of who gets the biggest piece of the pie. There’s more than enough food for everyone. It’s an all-you-you-can-eat buffet.

Win-win always creates more. Perhaps the most surprising benefit of thinking win-win is the good feelings it brings on. The true test of whether or not you are thinking win-win or one of the alternatives is how you feel. Win-lose and lose-win thinking will cloud your judgment and fill you with negative feelings.

Win-win will fill your heart with happy and serene thoughts. It will give you confidence. Even fill you with light. Win-win or no deal.
