Study Skills Mr. Geist 10/28

Who am I?

I am your constant companion.  
I am  your greatest helper or heaviest burden.
I will push you onward or drag you down to failure.
I am completely at your command.

Show me exactly how you want something done,
and after a few lessons,  I will do it automatically.
Those who are great,  I have made great.
Those who are failures,  I have made failures.

You may run me for a profit or run me for ruin -
It makes no difference to me.

Take me,  train me, be firm with me, and
I will place the world at your feet.  
Be easy with me and
I will destroy you.


Who am I?






A habit is the intersection of knowledge, skill and desire.
    Knowledge =  what to
            Skill =  how to
                Desire = want to


Creating a habit requires work in all three dimensions.
    *it is sometimes a painful process.

Dependence =  you take care of me.

Independence =  I can do it.  
    -I am responsible,  self-reliant and I can choose.

Interdependence = We can do it.
    -we can cooperate, and combine talents and abilities to create    
something greater together.


*Interdependence is far more mature, and advance over 
Independence.
