The new year is an excellent time to reflect on your accomplishments and your disappointments at about the halfway point in the school year，as well as to plan how you will improve in the future．
Reflect on your first school term：Honestly review your school year thus far．List your classes and your grades in each．What did not go as well as expected？Such as the exams you scored poorly on，projects you rushed through and long-term goals you did not meet．Revisit those plans you may have made related to selecting after-class activities or maximizing your senior year．
Be positive：As you are working on your list，remember to highlight （強(qiáng)調(diào)） the positives．Honesty is more than just telling the bad results-it is also offering proper praise．Include your high grades and impressive test results on your list as well．Remember that excellence is not only a result，but also a process．As you are recording your accomplishments，list the times when you made significant progress．Note the projects you started on time，the papers you outlined before you wrote and the study plans you followed．
Set new goals：Television shows sometimes reflect a world view that suggests success comes from a few weeks of competition rather than a lifetime of hard work and devotion．In truth，success in life is largely a result of continual small improvements that finally lead to great changes．With this in mind，make a short list of areas or tasks you wish to improve upon in the coming year．Keeping your list short is important，as creating too many goals can become overwhelming （壓倒一切的）．
Build on strengths：Include your strengths when you set goals．If you did well in algebra last year，determine to do just as well in geometry or calculus this year．If you submitted all your assignments on time，determine to finish your work a day earlier in order to allow for checking．Successful people build on their strengths to reach true excellence．
