The homework assigned to you on the successive pages entitled Form I to Upper VI are meant for the week Monday 3 May to Friday 7 May. You are exhorted to devote more time than usual to complete the homework as you will not attend classes on three days (Tuesday to Thursday) as a result of polling and counting for the General Election.
More homework, notes and guidance will continue to appear on this website for subsequent weeks and it is hoped that pupils of all forms will make maximum use of the facilities thus offered to improve their knowledge and to work towards excellence in their studies.
You are encouraged to write to the administrator of the website newetoncollege@hotmail.com to request for additional material. Do not hesitate to write about your difficulties and the teachers will endeavour to reply to you either personally or, in case it is of general interest, the reply will be posted on the website.
Remember that difficulties are like washing machines; they twist us and knock us around, but in the end we come out brighter than before! Never give up in the face of difficulties and you will thus acquire the secret recipe for success.
Wish you all good luck and very hard work. Forming Positive Habits It is never too late to change. Regardless of our age or how old the habit has been, this can be done by awareness and using techniques that modify behavior. We hear all the time that you can't teach old dog new tricks. We are human beings, not dogs. Neither are we performing tricks. We can unlearnself-destructive behavior and learnpositive behavior. The secret of successful people is that they form the habit of doing things that failures don't like to do and won't do. Just think about the things that failures don't like to do. They are the same things that successful people don't like to do but they do them anyway. For example, failures don't like discipline, hard work, or keeping commitments. Successful people also dislike discipline, hard work (an athlete doesn't like and want the discipline to get up and train every day but he does it regardless), but they do it anyway because they have formed the habit of doing things that failures don't like to do. All habits start small but end up eventually being very difficult to break. Attitudes are habits and can be changed. It is a question of breaking and replacing old negative habits with new and positive ones. It is easier to prevent bad habits than to overcome them. Good habits come from overcoming temptation. Excellence is the result of repeated conscious effort until it becomes a habit. It needs enough practice to become a habit. Extract from Shiv Khera: “You can Win”

Forming Positive Habits
It is never too late to change. Regardless of our age or how old the habit has been, this can be done by awareness and using techniques that modify behavior. We hear all the time that you can't teach old dog new tricks. We are human beings, not dogs. Neither are we performing tricks. We can unlearn self-destructive behavior and learn positive behavior.
The secret of successful people is that they form the habit of doing things that failures don't like to do and won't do. Just think about the things that failures don't like to do. They are the same things that successful people don't like to do but they do them anyway. For example, failures don't like discipline, hard work, or keeping commitments. Successful people also dislike discipline, hard work (an athlete doesn't like and want the discipline to get up and train every day but he does it regardless), but they do it anyway because they have formed the habit of doing things that failures don't like to do.
