Although a highlighter may be the first thing you reach for when taking notes in a book, it may not be the most effective option. There are two drawbacks with a highlighter: first, you may be tempted to highlight way too much text, and second, you can't take notes or do other types of annotations with a highlighter. Try using a pencil, pen, or (the best choice) fine-tipped colored markers instead of (or maybe in addition to) your usual highlighter. One important benefit of using pencil is the ability to erase! Use pencil if you are prone to making mistakes or if you'd like to be able to remove your notations later. Rather than underlining an entire passage, aim to underline only the topic sentence of that paragraph. Not only will this make it more efficient for you to return to your notes, but taking the time to identify the topic sentence of a passage is an excellent way to learn and solidify what you know. Whenever you are trying to work through a text, it may be tempting to think that almost everything is important. One common mistake is for readers to highlight or underline very large volumes of text. Resist this urge, as it will only make it more difficult for you to return to your notes. Instead, underline only that which is most important, such as keywords, or crucial quotes. In order to make it easy for you to look back over your notes and gain quick understanding, you may want to use some kind of color-coding system. For example, you could use orange to indicate any new vocabulary words; blue to indicate a specific theme for an essay you are writing; and green to identify places where you have questions. So that you don't forget, make a key somewhere in the book or on a loose sheet of paper that's kept in the book. The key should clearly and concisely state what each color means. An important aspect of reading is expanding your vocabulary. Anytime you encounter a word that you're not familiar with, circle it (perhaps using a specific color pen), and find out what it means. You may even want to write down a brief definition in the margin. Another way to limit the volume of notations you make in your book is to avoid marking things that you already know. Even if it is central to the overall point that the author is making, if you encounter a concept or idea that you already have a firm grasp on, don't bother marking it.

Article: Know that, no matter how hard you strive, it's impossible to live a life without temptations. We will always, at certain points, feel a temptation to sin - whether it's as innocuous as the urge to lie about our reason for being late to a meeting or as serious as the urge to strike someone who's insulted you. It's also inevitable that we will give in to this urge at some point. However, it's possible, through our efforts, to reduce the hold that temptation has over us. The fight against temptation is like waging a lifelong war - be prepared to celebrate your victories and to learn from your defeats. Never fall prey to self-hate. You are not loathsome or pathetic because you feel temptation. God always forgives. Don't get caught up in punishing yourself, even if you find yourself falling prey to temptation again and again. Use your time more intelligently by sincerely asking for God's forgiveness and working to move past your sins. "Say, 'O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah . Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.'" (Qur'an 39:53) Scripture is full of stories, teachings, and proverbs we can draw upon when we're trying to avoid our sinful temptations. The nature of sin and temptation is a frequent topic of discussion throughout the bible - simply turn to a passage like Romans 7:18 for an illuminating perspective on the difficulty of struggling against temptation: "For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not." Many of the most revered figures in the Bible had intense struggles with temptation (often marked with failure). Adam and Eve committed the first sin by giving in to the temptation of eating the forbidden fruit. King David, one of the most important figures in biblical history, had one of his soldiers killed so that he could give in to temptation and steal his wife! Reading the bible can help us understand how such great men and women struggledand overcametheir temptation. Working through a particularly nasty temptation is hard work. It's easy to lose hope and even to start to believe that God has abandoned us. Nothing could be further from the truth. Thoughts like "Life is hard, so God must hate me" aren't just wrong, they're harmful. When you're struggling with temptation, God is pulling for you more than ever. God wants to see you succeed. He wants nothing more than for you to overcome your temptation. So, if God tests you, don't lose your trust in him. Instead, rise to his challenge. They lived a life of purity and perfection. He devoted his life to helping others. He practiced nonviolence, though he was willing to endure it. He suffered temptations, but he resisted them every time. Strive towards it - ordinary humans can't achieve it, but they can better themselves by trying. The Qur'an praises Muhammad: "And indeed, you are of a great moral character." (Qur'an 68:4) Christians believe that, through his mortal sacrifice, we are cleaned of all sins: (1 John 1:7) "But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleans if us from all sin." If you're interested in Christ's salvation, contact a priest, minister, or other clergyman in your area.
