Time Management

One thing I'm still working on that I learned from Academic Strategies is Time Management. The key factor in effective time management is being organized. Being organized means keeping your goals in mind and planning your activities to make them a reality. Some times we my come across unexpected circumstances that can interfere with our plans and goals. The ability to stay flexible is also very important. Having a weekly planner on my desk and writing down the assignments due date works very well. Plan and Prepare. Staying focused. I wish everyone much success.

Conquering Fear

On March 4, 1933, during the dark days of depression, President Franklin D. Roosevelt said in a radio speech, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."
On September 7, 1851, the naturalist Henery David Thoreau wrote in his journal, " Nothing is so much to be feared as fear."
Three centuries before that, the French essayist Montaigne wrote, "The thing of which I have most is fear."
People in all ages of history have fought their fears in one way or another, but the only thing that really conquers fear is faith in the Lord: I will trust and not be afraid" (Isa. 12:2).
