Would like to be successful in chemistry?

After thirty years of teaching hundreds of chemistry students, I have discovered that success in chemistry has nothing to do with special abilities or superior intelligence.

Success in chemistry is directly related to your attitude.

It doesn't matter what your skills are if you have a poor attitude; you will not succeed. You must develop and maintain a positive attitude toward your chemistry class and teacher. But, if you can accomplish this, you will be successful at chemistry.

Your attitude toward chemistry is completely under your control. No one can make you think anything you don't want to think. So, the first thing you need to do is get control of your thoughts. If you say, "chemistry is hard", it will be hard. If you say, "I will never pass chemistry" then you won't pass chemistry. The mind is very powerful and will function according to how you feed it. If you feed it negative thoughts you will get negative results. You must be aware of your thoughts and if they are negative, change them. No one else can do it for you.

The key to a having a good attitude is the willingness to change and you can start changing your attitude by changing your vocabulary.

Eliminate these thoughts:

• I can't
• I don't think
• Maybe
• I'm afraid of
• I don't believe
• I don't have the time
• It's impossible

Adopt these words

• I can
• I will
• Positively
• I am confident
• I do believe
• I will make the time
• All things are possible

Finally, you must not let what other people think about you, determine your reality. Just because someone says you can't do something doesn't mean you have to accept his or her opinion. All that truly matters is what you believe. Don't let other people set your limits or your goals.

But, knowing what to do is only the beginning. Success doesn't just happen. You must take action. You need to do something, now. Do anything, but don't let things just happen.

Begin developing your attitude by monitoring your thoughts and speech. Sit down and write out a plan, then put it on your calendar. Or better yet, do something you have put off because you were afraid you would fail. It really doesn't matter what you do as long as you take action now.
