I always urge my children to read. When you read a lot, there will be more and more knowledge we get, we know and the most important thing we will realize that we only know a little about everything. It sound a little bit weird....right ??? But that is what i always feel when i read either books, magazines , newspapers or even brochures......

There are so many things we will have and know by reading. Even when you want to go somewhere or want to go to  any places you have to read the directions through maps or signs.....am i right ???

When Children Fail in School: Understanding Learned Helplessness

 Learned helplessness is the belief that our own behavior does not influence what happens next; that is, behavior does not control outcomes or results. For example, when a student believes that she is in charge of the outcome, she may think, “If I study hard for this test, I’ll get a good grade.” On the contrary, a learned helpless student thinks, “No matter how hard I study for this test, I’ll always get a bad grade.” In school, learned helplessness relates to poor grades and underachievement, and to behavior difficulties. Students who experience repeated school failure are particularly prone to develop a learned helpless response style. Because of repeated academic failure, these students begin to doubt their own abilities, leading them to doubt that they can do anything to overcome their school difficulties. Consequently, they decrease their achievement efforts, particularly when faced with difficult materials, which leads to more school failure. This pattern of giving up when facing difficult tasks reinforces the child’s belief that he or she cannot overcome his or her academic difficulties.

Learned helplessness seems to contribute to the school failure experienced by many students with a learning disability. In a never-ending cycle, children with a learning disability frequently experience school difficulties over an extended period, and across a variety of tasks, school settings, and teachers, which in turn reinforces the child’s feeling of being helpless.

Reading Good For Children

I always buy my children books, story books, magazine and any sort of reading type. My children loves reading but they will choose the books according to what they like to read. To me, children should read all kind of books. Story books definitely yes, then magazines, comics and newspapers.

This kind of colouring books is just to make them happy.

Dato' LAT and his cartoons

Dato' Lat...... I have been reading his books at my early years. So interesting, simple english and full of humour. Sometimes  i even laugh lounder than usual and without I notice that I am reading in a bus. Release tension, that is the purpose of reading. Different people will think that reading must be done in proper way. Academic books or journals.

THINK POSITIVE TO BE SUCCESSFUL

THINK POSITIVE TO BE SUCCESSFUL

We must believe that success is within the reach of every individual. We can succeed if we really want to and if we are willing to work hard at it. Believe in yourself is the key to success. Once we have that there are some rules as outlined below, which will lead us to succeed to the extent that we think we deserve.

A burning desire to succeed is important. Merely hoping is not enough. We must think success and we must visualize success.

What does success really mean to us ? We must picture ourself as the person we want to be and resolve to make to make ourself that person. Set a realistic goal but do not sell ourself short either.

Picture the attainment of success in concrete terms-being living in a big bungalow with a swimming pool inside, enjoying a vacation every year, driving MPV or SUV car and being a popular actor or actress ???? Go ahead, dream your dreams. The person who stop dreaming will stop living and achieving.

So , get us start dreaming now………………..

BUT WE MUST NOT FORGET THIS….….LIFE IS NOT PERFECT. Mistakes are often not really mistakes, but errors in judgement. Accept them as necessary to the learning process. Let us be guided by Thomes Watson, the founder of IBM. He once said “The way to succeed is to double your failure rate”. The great inventors of electricity, rockets failed a thousand times before they succeeded.

All successful people have healthy self-images and always be positive all the time. We cannot be a success if we think we are a failure. Start today, think of ourself as a success and visualise the end result. THINK POSITIVE AND STRIVE FOR SUCCESS.
