Preparing Ourselves For Excellence: Developing Better Research Skills

Expect more, think critically and work hard to acquire knowledge. Believe that you are worth acquiring the information that is available to you and become successful at all things of virtue. Fight for more information! Think critically, exercise a healthy distrust for all information that is fed to you and question, research, analyze and establish an informed and responsible conclusion. Then, make a difference in this world and become an asset to your society not a liability. Lastly, in response to all of the naysayers, remember these...

Fighting Words By: NAB

I refuse to practice mediocrity
due to your discomfort with my presence.

If you have a problem with my ability,
I suggest you cease to exist.

For, your misery I do no seek as a companion;
thus, better your slumber be in silence than wakeful
in agony of your own ineptitude.
