Those activities that take your time too long each day.

Are you a morning or evening person? Do you take hours in the shower? Or in the dressing room? Do you eat rather slowly? Is your house too far from school that commuting or the traffic makes you often come to class late?
Be honest in the self-test. What things take much time from your studying? Do you do the marketing and cooking at home? Or watch your younger siblings? Do you need to develop speed reading? Or are your friends often with you and you have to exert mighty efforts all the time just to leave or send them away when you must study?

Time is so powerful: nothing and no one can keep it from coming and passing. And it is all-precious: everything that can happen, can happen only in time.
Those wise statements tell you how important time is, particular y to your studies. There seems more and more to do which leads you to think you are “running out of time.” Time runs and no matter what you do, there will always be only 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day and seven days in a week. But stop and take stock of your situation, then ask: do you really not have enough time? Is time really too short for you?
With increasing demands on securing more and better knowledge, resulting in more and more tasks that cry out for attention and completion, , and time never  bending or stretching out even a single minute more to accommodate these human endeavors, it will seem so. But in truth, time is a constant. The only thing that has increased and keeps increasing is the overwhelming demand for more of it. Neither will give way, so you must strike out a balance and manage the only time available for your avalanche of activities.
One thought, though, may bother you. Why is it that you and others like you seem never to have enough time, yet there are many lazybones who loiter and do crazy things because they have “too much time” in their hands? This situation is more than a matter about time. It is about values and self- image. A person who sees value in himself and in his life will also value the time he has. He will spend it usefully and meaningfully. But a person who thinks he is hopeless, unimportant and a liability to society will have much trouble “killing time” because time won’t die. We are all creatures of time who can only use time wisely or waste it. And we are endowed with reason to discover ways of making time an ally, not an enemy. It is a moment-to-moment choice each of us must make.
But no bother. You are of the first type. You are armed with a very commendable objective of studying as effectively as possible. More than that, you are dead-set to get to the top. This is why you need to develop a mastery of time in order to make it work for you in achieving your dream.

Social equilibrium
admin | Reference | 01 3rd, 2009| No Comments »

Business, industry, community and society are interdependent and interrelated. The dynamic force of change affects the whole system. All elements of the social system are involved — its people, formal and informal organization, communication networks, economic, labor force decision-making process and pattern of cooperation and competition. Whether we are speaking of a department, government or institution, the social system is operating in such a way that the different parts are harmoniously related to one another to maintain equilibrium.
In trying to maintain equilibrium, a group develop responses return to Its perceived best way of life whenever any change occurs. Each pressure, therefore encourages a counterpressure within the group. The result is a self-correcting mechanism by which energies are called up to restore balance whenever change threatens this equilibrium. The self-correcting characteristics of organizations is called homeostasis that is, people to establish steady state of need fulfillment and to secure themselves from d1sturbane of that balance.
Viewed as a whole, the idea of social equilibrium implies

(1)system of interrelated parts,

(2) a dynamic state of motion, rather than a static system,

(3) an interdependence such that a change in one part affects all others, and

(4) a homeostatic tendency to resist pressures and maintain a steady state (but not a static state).

Equilibrium implies that some frictions, jockeying and trading among departments and groups are normal conditions of the organization, because its social system is a continuous motions. Social systems are never perfectly frictionless; hence never reach an idyllic state of perfection without conflicts or problems.
With the passage of time each social system develops programs of .action which it can put into effect to accommodate change as it occurs. When a change is minor and Within the scope of the correcting program, adjustment is fairly routine but when a change is major or unusual, more serious upsets may occur.
