H- habits can be changed only if the individual make the effort to do so, this is also true with attitudes, note: attitudes are catching- meaning that a class and / or an individual can be truly influenced by a good attitude- IE: a desire to emulate and succeed out of respect for the instructor and/ or other students. whereas they can also be influenced negatively by a bad attitude, IE: disrespect, too cavalier about important subject matter. then comes the Belief factor, IE: believe in yourself, do not become discouraged, avoid stress or frustration, stay focused. don't loose sight of the goal or end result. expectations - expect to do well, it helps to enjoy everything you do. set goals and put time frames on accomplishing these goals-- thus = equal success.
