In my view #11 is very important. The late Stephen Covey always talked about the Four Needs; my labels differ slightly from his: Physical (including financial), Social, Educational, and Internal. The one least obvious is the last, Internal; it’s the need to routinely ask how the other three are being met and make adjustments as appropriate. Covey wrote that if all four needs are not satisfied, the person cannot be happy. As I suggested to my students, that means – even being college students, they should not study “all the time” but needed to get exercise, eat well, socialize with others, …. in addition to learning responsibilities.

What it means, as I see it AND do it, is that one needs to have a schedule that addresses the four needs, that everyone needs to have the skills of effective learning, effective problem solving, teaming, and communicating (to optimize schedule options – how often I heard “but Dr. Bennett, I studied so many hours for this test and look at my grade…”).

Love this article, especially #6 & #12. Hard work is not as glamorized as it should be. I am a firm believer in tried & true hard work and not enough students are raised with this work ethic or are not acknowledged enough when they excel at it. Also, just has “education” doesn’t only happen within an 8 hour time period, neither does work. I think we still have a ways to go for employers to understand this concept. I have a day job, however, I work nights, & on the weekends too sometimes so “work” isn’t confined to 9-5. Yet, most employers still think of paying employees by the hour just like schools still insist on educating from 8-3 and colleges still think students need to be sitting in a seat for 3 hours a week to get credit. It’s a slow changing environment because of what society considers the social norm. I check the news in my industry every night before bed & yes, on twitter too, and it’s the first thing I look at every morning, it’s part of my work, my thirst for knowledge, and my way of knowing what’s going on in my world, yet it happens WAY outside the boundaries of 9-5.
