13.  Visual:  Always have the "big picture" before you go to class or start reading your textbook.  Find a way to use/ create graphs, charts, illustrations or other visual aids  When trying to remember things, close your eyes to get a “picture” or image of the information to facilitate recall  Auditory:  After you read a page in your textbook, summarize the information out loud in your own words. Repeat facts with eyes closed.  Record your instructor’s lecture, and if you are a commuter, listen to the tape on the way home, either in your car or on the bus or subway.  Discuss the material that you have been learning with a friend or study group.  Kinesthetic:  Create learning opportunities to ‘try it out’  Use many of your senses as possible when you study: see, hear, touch, taste, and smell. This creates an experiential learning environment. BLOG: success-mohawk.com @SuccessMohawk

16. Fixed Mindset  A “fixed mindset” people believe their basic qualities, like their intelligence or talent, are simply fixed traits. They also believe that talent alone creates success—without effort. They’re wrong! Growth Mindset  People with a “growth mindset,” believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work—brains and talent are just the starting point.
