SKILL WILL Self-RegulationStudents manage, or self-regulate and control the whole learning process through using their time effectively, focusing their attention and maintaining their concentration over time, checking to see if they have met the learning demands for a class, an assignment or a test, and using study supports such as review sessions, tutors or special features of a textbook.
Students' receptivity to learning new information, their attitudes and interests in college, their diligence, self-discipline, and willingness to exert the effort necessary to successfully complete academic requirements, and the degree to which they worry about their academic performance.
Students' learning strategies, skills and thought processes related to identifying, acquiring and constructing meaning for important new information, ideas and procedures, and how they prepare for and demonstrate their new knowledge on tests or other evaluative procedures.

An Old Farmer & His Four Sons
Which son could inherit my farmland?
So he sent his sons, one by one, to the farmland at different time.
I am too old and it’s about time …

Why do I have to bend myself and keep sweating here? The work is too hard and is never ending.

Wow. What a blessing this farmland is!
There are so many fruits and crops waiting for us.

It was but a same farmland. Why the four sons would have so different reactions to it?
My Sons, make good use of this farmland together. There will be moments of hardship to make
you feel hopeless and exhausted.
However if you FOUR can work it out together and share, you will
see the abundance of opportunity and blessing that it
can bring to you.

When the student is ready, the master appears.
- Buddhist Proverb
Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. - Henry Ford It is not hard to learn more. What is
hard is to unlearn when you discover yourself wrong.
- Martin H. Fischer
In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.
- Albert Schweitzer
