When a newly-made college student who used to be a high school graduate only yesterday enters his/her alma mater for the first time, everything is new for him/her. Everything seems familiar as studying is always studying, but, at the same time, there is constant feeling of being a human among Martians. You do not know where to go, what to do, whom to ask a question, and you have many questions concerning all spheres of you new life. Do not hurry, please. Let us consider every aspect of college life separately. This article will cast light on the problem of behavior at lectures, a form of educational process that is entirely new for you. Lectures are not typical for high school; this is why freshmen can find them perplexing. Proper student’s conduct at lectures • You should arrive on time; this is the first golden rule of lectures. Usually lecturers gather huge audience, it can comprise up to 200 students, and it is difficult to maintain academic silence and discipline. If at least 10 percent of students are late for a lecture, their gradual arrival will spoil it. • You should stay in your place during a lecture, which does not mean that you should be immovable during an hour. It only means that you should not walk in the lecture hall without permission. • Leave lecture hall only when dismissed. Even if a lecturer is as dull as dishwater, show your respect or do not show your disrespect at least. • It is highly advisable to make notes at lectures. On the whole, their main function is to impart knowledge to you, try to get it. Improper behavior of a student at a lecture • Sleeping is not allowed at a lecture. It may well be that you have visited an all-night party but it will not be a sound reason for sleeping in a professor’s point of view. • Eating and, what is more, drinking alcohol are not allowed. Can you wait a bit? There probably will be another all-night party tonight, postpone, so try to abstain till the party. • Reading newspapers is not allowed at lecture.

“Summary of the Science of Getting Rich”

The Science of Getting Rich is very clear in the steps you need to take in order to succeed. By following these steps in the right order, and following each of the steps correctly, you put yourself on the path to success.

Here are the seven steps you need to take to change your life and succeed:

1. A thought is the first step in making something a reality.

Everything starts in the mind. God had to conceive of the universe before He could make it a reality. We each have to see in our minds what we want before we can make it happen. The reason most never get what they want out of life is either they don’t know what they want, or they allow uncontrolled thought to bring them things they don’t want.

Think about what you want first, and then see it in your mind.

2. To make something a reality, you need to pass from the competitive to the creative plane.

In the competitive plane, those who succeed believe that they have to take away what others have in order to gain what they want. In the creative plane, we recognize that there is an ever expanding pool of resources available to us to create from. We don’t have to do things at the expense of others, or take from others to have what we want.

In the creative plane, we have to be in harmony with God and the universe. Otherwise, it’s impossible for us to create anything of value.

3. Form a clear and definite mental picture of what you want and hold it in your mind.

The more clear your picture is, the more likely you are to achieve your goal. If you can feel the feelings that are associated with achieving your goal so much the better. If it has a specific smell, taste, or touch associated with it, experience that too. When we associate emotions and senses with our thoughts, it makes the thought more vivid, intense, and real.

4. Take action.

I remind myself 100 times a day: “Nothing happens if nothing moves.” It is absolutely critical that you take action. If you are not sure what actions to take, then sit down and do a reverse planner. Start with your end goal in mind. Work your way backwards through the steps you need to take to achieve your goal. Then work the steps.

5. Be grateful.

This is the step where Wattles says many fail when they do everything else right. Practice an attitude of gratitude. If you are grateful, you attract more good things into your life. Appreciate the good things you already have in your life, and you will only increase these even more.

6. Work efficiently.

Setting your goals and writing them down is a crucial part of your success. Once you have written down your goals, break those goals down into steps. Then take action each day on those steps until you accomplish what you want.

Focus on doing only those things that will help you reach your ultimate goals and life. Don’t waste time doing things that don’t. It’s easy to get distracted. Stay focused and do only those things necessary to advancing yourself towards your ultimate life.

7. Always give to others more in use value than you get in cash value.

Another way to put this is to say, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” The more you help with what you do, the more it will come back to you.

When you give others what they want and need, when you solve their problems, you are well on your way to establishing a long term relationship with your customers. Do it right, and you will get rich, they will be better off, and not only will you have accomplished what you want, you will become truly rich.

Portland’s Rose Festival: Top 5 Things To See and Do

The flowers are blooming, the springtime sun is out, and Portland natives are eagerly emerging from winter hibernation. The change in season signifies one shining event: The Rose Festival is in town. With two weeks of fun and entertainment for all ages, the Rose City celebration feels like it lasts the entire summer — and it would, if Portlanders had their way. Because the 102-year-old festival has so much to offer, we’ve put together a list of the top 5 things to see and do during this annual celebration of Roses.

1. The Rose Parade

The Grand Floral Parade is an Oregon tradition that honors the natural beauty of the Northwest. One of the largest all-floral parades in the U.S., the Rose Parade features over 15 fantastic floats, including the presentation of the Rose Festival Court and fan-favorite, Reser’s Beauty and the Beast. Marching from the Memorial Coliseum to downtown Portland, the parade is led by a show stopping drum line and dance crew, and followed by two separate parade sections dedicated to PDX pride and cultural diversity.

2. Band Festivities

Generally held on the second Friday of the Rose Festival at PGE Park, BandFest features big band music at its finest. From high school ensembles to eclectic, harmonic string sets, this popular performance showcase is celebrated for bringing the march back in marching band.

3. Local Performer Showcase

Also available to enjoy throughout the event are performances by the city’s favorite bands along the waterfront stages, including blues, contemporary, jazz, and indie rock groups. When watching a local performer sing his or her heart out with the Willamette River dazzling in the backdrop, you instantly feel moved by the bond shared among Portland area citizens.

4. Waterfront Fun

What’s the best seat in the house at the Rose Festival? Smack dab in the water. When Fleet Week rolls around, boats of all shapes and sizes dock alongside Waterfront Park, enjoy the stretch of carnival rides from afar, and drink their favorite Oregon ale. At night, boat-bound viewers get to enjoy the brilliant firework show lighting up the sky, as well as see the carnival of colors mirrored in the Willamette alongside.

5. Dragonboats Race The River

Dragonboat races are also in full effect during festival season. Crowds gather to watch the beautifully crafted Chinese canoes split through the river, glide under the Morrison bridge, and disappear into the sunset.

Feeling Rosy

No matter what’s on your agenda for the Rose Festival, you’re guaranteed an enjoyable experience. Simply walking along the waterfront and sampling a cinnamony-sweet “elephant ear” will awaken your inner flower child. The theme of this year’s Grand Floral Rose Parade evoked the importance of community-building and partnership — a message that truly reflects the spirit of Portland.
