Habit 6: Synergize

Synergy is achieved when two or more people work together to create something better than either could alone. Through this habit, teens learn it doesn’t have to be “your way” or “my way” but rather a better way, higher way. Synergy is the reward, the delicious fruit you’ll taste as you get better at living the others habits, especially at thinking Win-Win And seeking frost to understand. Learning to synergize is like learning to form V formations with others instead of trying to fly through life solo. You’ll be amazed at how much faster and father you’ll go. Synergy doesn’t just happen. It’s a process. You have to get there. And the foundation of getting there is this: Learn to celebrate differences. A Good band is a great example of synergy. It’s not just the drums, or the guitar, or the guitar, or the sax, or the vocalist, it’s all of them together that make up the “Sound.” Each band, member brings his or hers strength to the table to create something better than each could alone. No Instrument is more important that another, Just different.

10. Successful Student are goof time managers. Successful do not procrastinate. They have learned that time control is like control and have consciously chosen to be in control of their life.

An elemental truth:  you will either control time or be controlled by it! It’s your choice: you can lead or be led, establish control or relinquish control, steer your own course or follow others. No failure to take control of their own time is probably the no. 1 study skills problems for college students. It ultimately causes many students to become non-students! Procrastinators are good excuse makers. Don’t make academics harder on yourself than it has to be. Stop procrastinating. And don’t wait until tomorrow to do it!

The 10 items above are the paraphrased from an article by Larry M Ludewig called Ten Commandments for Effective Study Skills which appeared in the Teaching Professor, December, 1992.
