According to the book of lists, the fear of public speaking ranks number one in the minds of the majority of people. Far above the fear of death and disease, comes the fear of standing in front of a crowd. Joel wiener noted author and public speaker wants to help people overcome that fear.

“The biggest fear is public speaking, with 15% of American experiencing a dramatic fear of it,“ said Dr. Michael Telch of the laboratory for the study of anxiety disorder (LSAD) in the department of phycology at the university of Texas at Austin. “People have to turn down jobs, and certainly student have dropped classes because of it.”

“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; the world is filled with educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “press on” has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”

-Calvin Coolidge, 30^th president of the united states

Reflection: this post is saying that nothing in this world can replace persistence because if you want to accomplish anything you need persistence, and if you don’t have it, then you won’t be able to accomplish anything.

Ask question.

If a question isn’t clear, talk to your teacher. If that’s not possible, explain your answer in the margin

Using the web wisely

Thanks to the web, information is easy to find. However, it’s also easy to
post something online.  Anyone can do it.
You’ve probably used the internet to do research for a paper, to help you
decide which product to buy, or to form an opinion about current events.
Looking up information online is fast and convenient. But when you do
online research, it’s important to find sites you can trust.
Many websites claim to have the facts, but are full of errors. Others
present information in a biased way – they only give one side of an
argument. How can you tell a reliable source from an unreliable one?
Appropriate, never anything pornographic, vulgar, indecent, out of taste,
untruthful, or obscene. Post those things that will make a good name for
you and your organization, that will promote goodwill and be of benefit to
the world.

Question

As you survey the text, ask a question for each section. Ask what, why, how, when, who and where questions as they relate to the content. Here’s how you can create questions:

·       Turn the title, headings or subheadings into questions.

·       Rewrite the questions at the end of the chapter or after each subheading in your own words.

Write down your questions. Questions help you pay attention, understand the text better and recall the information more easily later on.

Read

Read one section of the chapter at a time, actively looking for an answer to your questions for that section. Pay attention to bold and italicized text that authors use to make important points.

Be sure to review everything in the section, including tables, graphs and illustrations—these features can communicate an idea more powerfully than written text.
