Article: Listening well is an important part of being perceived as an adult. Work on your listening skills to help your parents see you as a mature person. When you are listening to someone speak, maintain good eye contact, nod your head to show that you are hearing what the other person is saying, and use statements to express interest, such as "I see," "go on," and "yes." Frequent complaining and a negative attitude may make you appear less mature to your parents. To prove that you are mature, do your best to maintain a positive tone at all times. When telling your parents about your day, focus on the good things that happened and minimize the bad. Also ask them how their day has been, and if their day turns out to have been not so good, show sympathy. Avoid whining or making critical remarks as much as possible. These behaviors are seen as a mark of immaturity. Do your best to avoid getting into an argument with your parents. Although you may still have an occasional disagreement with your parents, do not instigate an argument if possible. Instead, do your best to be agreeable and compromise with your parents if something seems unfair to you. For example, if your parents have requested that you be home by 9pm, do not complain or accuse them of being unfair. Try saying something like, "I don't mind being home by this time most nights, but I was hoping to stay out a little later tonight. Would 10pm be alright?" If you do not understand the reasons behind something that your parents have asked you to do, then ask for clarification. Asking questions is a good way to improve communication and avoid unnecessary conflicts. Make sure that you phrase your question in a way that expresses what you need from them. For example, if you have a 9pm curfew, and you think it is unfair, try asking something like, "I know that you care about my safety, but I am still a little confused about why I have to be home by 9 tonight. Can you help me to understand why you want me home by then?" It is possible that you parents are not aware that they are treating you like a child, so you may need to just bring it up. Try talking to them about how they treat you and ask them if it would be possible for them to stop doing certain things. For example, you might say something like, "I appreciate how much you both try to help me, but I feel like I am old enough to take care of these things myself. Would you mind giving me a little more freedom to handle things on my own?"

Problem: Article: Put your goals and your reasons for working towards them on paper. A biology student might find it easy to become tired and discouraged in her studies. Remembering why she is in school because she wants to develop life-saving drugs or be a teacher like the one who first inspired her is a powerful motivator. Tape your goals to the wall of your office, to your computer, or to your bedroom or bathroom mirror. Keep them in a place where you'll be frequently reminded of them. This will keep focused and stay on track. Having a large and specific goal can motivate you more than a series of smaller goals. At the same time, however, your central ambition might sometimes seem far away or like an impossibly huge task. Don't let yourself be overwhelmed. This sort of thinking is known to kill motivation and lead people to abandon projects. Move the goalposts when you feel this way. If you are writing a novel, for example, put the big picture to the side for a while and work on the current chapter or on revising 20 pages per day. Focusing on small, concrete tasks will move you ahead incrementally and help you finish what you have started. Chronic procrastinators sometimes need more concrete incentives. Set performance standards and reward yourself. The deals can be small or large. Treat yourself to a short break once you have finished some work. Did you ace your year-end exams? That calls for a bigger reward: take a weekend off to celebrate with your friends. Try to use inducements that will motivate you to follow through. Stop and think: what is absolute best that can happen if you go through with your plans? What is the absolute worst? If you are really committed to a goal, remind yourself of how much you potentially stand to gain by following through or how much you potentially stand to lose by failing. Weight the two. What can you expect from applying for jobs in your dream field of architecture? What is the worst that can happen if it doesn't pan out? Most times the worst-case scenario boils down to fear fear of failure, fear of rejection, or fear of regret while the upside promises very tangible benefits.
Summary: Write down your goals. Move the goalposts. Make a deal with yourself. Consider the best-case and worst-case scenarios.

Connect your RCA cable to the camera cord's video connector if necessary. Then, run it through your vehicle to the area by the fuse box. Depending on your vehicle model, you'll usually be able to do this by peeling back the automobile's headliner or side panels and pulling your cable through the exposed chamber. For certain trucks, you may need to run the video cable through the vehicle's frame rail. In most cars, you'll find the fuse box underneath the steering wheel. If you're installing an external monitor, first attach your device's included mount to the windshield by following the manufacturer's included instructions. Then, hook your monitor onto the mount. Most external monitors use a suction mount, though others may come with a more complex mounting system. For certain internal monitors, you'll need to clip the new device onto your current rear-view mirror. For others, you'll need to take off the mirror and slide your monitor into the pre-existing mirror mount. Some internal monitors may come with their own mounting system that you'll have to attach to the car's front windshield. If necessary, hook your monitor's power and video cable into the device. Then, route the cable from the monitor to the area next to the fuse box. If you'd like, use a trim removal tool to pop out the headlining panel directly above your windshield. Then, run your cable through the exposed chamber. After routing your monitor's splitter cable, connect the video end of the cable to your camera's RCA cord. Then, wrap the connected cords with electrical tape to hold them together. If your RCA and video cables have the same ends, you may need to purchase an RCA male to female converter cord. You can find these at most electronic stores. Connect your remaining bare wire cable to the backup monitor's power cord. Then, push the positive (usually red) end of the bare wire cable into the open end of a fuse tap. Finally, crimp the 2 cables together with a pair of pliers. A fuse tap is a small cable that converts a bare wire into a fuse signal. You can find them at most auto part stores. If you'd prefer, you can leave the bare wire cable off and connect your camera's power cable to a cigarette lighter adaptor. Then, plug this adaptor into your car's cigarette lighter receptacle for power. Locate your fuse box and open it up. Then, plug your fuse tap into an open fuse cell. If necessary, check your fuse box's lid or your vehicle's instruction manual to see which slots are open. After attaching your fuse, consider taping all your wires together using electrical tape to get them out of the way.
