From the Paper:

"In the journey of a lifetime, the way that a person deals with challenges and limits will largely determine his or her success (Robbins, 1986). Such limits include basic concerns such as time available during a day, information available for directing activities, and the person's capacity to manage activities within the context of specific desires and goals. The person who responds to challenges with integrity, resourcefulness, and determination will be more likely to succeed (Covey, 1989). Resource usage and management - whether the resource is time, money, information, talent and ability, or character - is key. There is no better time to learn the skills necessary to use resources than in college, when a person is establishing the patterns that will govern his or her life (Carter, Bishop, Cravits, 2002)."
