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.

Computer Science Manzoor Do Now Due 250 PM

Differentiate RAM and ROM Computer memory. Random-access memory (or simply  RAM ) is the memory or information storage in a computer that is used to store running programs and data for the programs. Data (information) in the  RAM  can be read and written quickly in any order. Normally, the random access memory is in the form of computer chips. Short for  read-only memory ,  ROM  is a storage medium that is used with  computers  and other electronic devices. As the name indicates, data stored in  ROM may only be read. ... Unlike  RAM  (random access  memory ),  ROM  is non-volatile, which means it keeps its contents regardless of whether or not it has power.
