With a focus on success, this study-aids book gives useful tips to help students learn well and think critically so as to be successful in school and in life. The book is designed for the average student from elementary school to the university level.
The book is based on two main concepts. First, "know myself statements," which are used to discover and write down student weaknesses and strengths. Then, "do something statements," which are action statements, are written down to indicate what students intend to do to remove identified weaknesses and reinforce strengths. These two simple, but very powerful statements / concepts are the basic tools used by students to continuously identify their current weaknesses and strengths and do something positive about them so as to: (a) efficiently manage time, (b) improve reading and note taking skills, (c) sharpen memory and test taking strategies, (d) enhance creativity, (e) promote good health, (f) facilitate good inter-personal relationships, and (g) manage money wisely, as well as explore avenues for earning more money for school. This is a problem solving approach that may be used by students and non-students alike to continuously solve problems as they come along.
