6. Attitude towards mistakes | failure

Many times attitude determines the end results. It is really important for the kids to establish the right attitude towards mistakes and failure: they should understand that it is OK to make mistakes and failure is the beginning of learning.

7. Overcoming procrastination

For many students (also to adults), procrastination is a big hurdle. Unwilling to start, waiting till the last moment… Hopefully these posters can motivate them to take action and get things done before the due date.

今日事，今日毕
jīnrì shì, jīnrì bì
Never put off what you can do today till tomorrow.

千里之行，始于足下
qiānlǐ zhī xíng, shǐ yú zúxià
A thousand miles begins with a single step.

开始的时候你不需要很棒，但你必须开始才能变得很棒。
kāishǐ de shíhòu nǐ bù xūyào hěn bàng, dàn nǐ bìxū kāishǐ cáinéng biàn dé hěn bàng.
You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.
