Mark Cuban - A Maverick Among Men

By Hedrick Lepsch


Clara Barton, a pioneer in nursing as well as in women's rights, changed the world by undertaking the rewarding lifestyle nursing offers. Her efforts led to advancements in nursing as well as the foundation of The American Red Cross. Careers in the nursing field are among the most rewarding and admired. Sometimes, during the grueling process of nursing school, you lose sight of the honor associated with your future career. There is light at the end of the tunnel, although sometimes it might not feel like it. Below are some helpful tips to help you survive the nursing school gauntlet, get an RN and join the ranks of dignified nurses all over the world.

If you are looking to get ahead in your academic career, you need to have all of the connections you can possible get out there. Making friends with professors and deans is a worthwhile investment of your time and can take you further than anything else when it comes down to it. Networking can give you the resources to help you with your studies as well. For instance, many people find the challenge of doing research and looking for resources in the academic world. This is a great time to glean from all of the experts in your field of study. If you have made the right contacts, then you will be able to make a much greater impact with your research.

Since graduation, his business boomed during the dot com explosion and progressed through entertainment and sports since them. He owns theaters, a film company (Magnolia Pictures) an HDTV company, a NBA team (Dallas Mavericks - how fitting), and has authored multiple books. He has donated to political campaigns (both democrats and republicans) and created a stimulus plan. And of course he is a "shark" investor on ABC's Shark Tank. His eclecticism is astonishing. He will do or be whatever he wants to be from event planning to new media marketing.

Needless to say, Mark Cuban gets around. It would seem that he isn't afraid of anything and that he will try anything that appeals to him. Such a personality naturally leads to another skill: getting into trouble. Mark has been charged with various things multiple times, many of which he was dismissed of, but many of which he was not. It just comes with the territory (and personality).

Take notes on everything. Writing down information is a helpful way of getting information to stick in your mind. Do not just write word for word what your instructors say. Write things in your own words in a way that you understand. Although it can be difficult to write legibly when the information is being presented very quickly, do your best to get your notes down in a readable and organized fashion. This will make it easier to re-read when you are studying for your exams.

When it comes to networking you better have your ducks in a row because it can reach your family life, your career, your academic endeavors, and your overall influence on society.
