How To Overcome Negative Beliefs

Your teacher assigned you as the class president. She believes in your capabilities because she knows your true potential as her student. In your case, you doubted yourself that you might not be the one on that position even though your teacher & your classmates believe that you deserve it.
In workplace, your boss asks you to present a proposal on the upcoming company meeting. Like the teacher I’ve mentioned above, your boss also knows your capability that’s why he chooses you over all your officemates.  Again, you think you might not able to pull the trick.

These kinds of thinking are called negative beliefs. And this kind of belief may interfere and get in the way in achieving your goals and in becoming successful. The fact in holding negative beliefs in yourself is like limiting your own capabilities.

Completing Major Projects

As a student a student I have no problem with reading assignments or other work assigned in a regular basis; I only experience major task, such as completing a term paper. Not only me who is having a problem with it, but also for some others who find term papers to be time consuming. They delay until the time is past for doing an adequate job. If what I think is probably right, students can complete day-to-day assignments because other people have laid out their work and are providing immediate consequences.

On the other hand, a student who is given an assignment to be completed by the end of a semester might not have those immediate, externally imposed consequences. Being an electrical engineering student at day and a blogger at night, I usually procrastinate over term projects like thesis. Reconstructing my time table, maximizing my time & a self management approach might be the most efficient way.

How to Deal with Lazy Group Members

If you ever happened to be a leader of a group in your class, you might probably agree on most cases I will present in this article. Since I've entered college, I was always promoted as a leader whenever our professors assign or group us. Maybe because of my notable acts or my active participation I displayed in the class. 
Being a group leader can be tiresome, stressful and sometimes considered it as an extra work load for others. But for some, they see it as an accomplishment or an achievement as they tend to display more of their productive side. Leaders may face many challenges and obstacles along their way and one of these speed humps are the fact that they’ll deal with lazy group members.
