                                Bill Gates
Bill Gates is an entrepreneur and businessman who' s partner is Paul Allen and founded the world's largest software business, Microsoft. He was born on October 28, 1955 in Seattle, Washington. Both his parents had stable jobs, so he grew up in an upper middle-class family with two sisters. Bill's education was astonishing because he would spend hours going over reference books, like the encyclopedia. When his parents transferred him to Lakeside School he became entranced with what a computer could do. Something really interesting was that he wrote his own tic-tac-toe program in BASIC computer language and this allowed users to play against the computer. Later in 1973, he graduated from Lakeside and attended Harvard University in the fall of 1973. Bill had scored 1590 out of 1600 on the college SAT test. It turns out that gate was thinking of having a career in law but withing two year of school he dropped out in 1975 and pursued his own business, Microsoft, with partner Paul Allen.

                          The Psychology of Winning

Denis Waitley

The 10 Qualities of a Total Winner

Quality 1:  Positive Self-Expectancy 

"Life is a self fulfilling prophecy. True winners go into every event expecting to win." Basically what this quote means is that you should expect highly of yourself. You should push yourself to the limit, and feel positive about it. You should always push yourself to the limit because it will make you happy. In order to be a winner, you have to remain positive when you don't.You need to always be positive too through the tough times, always be humble. You need to be a CTR 24/7 person, positivity will come to you naturally.

      

Quality 2: Positive Self-Motivation 

"True winners dig deep and find motivation inside themselves to get through that tough task or to learn a new skill."x

I agree with this quote by Denis Waitley because it is very true. Even in bad situations, you should try your best to keep a positive outlook.Make more regular encounters with positive and motivated people. This could be as simple as chatting with peers or a quick discussion with a friend who likes sharing recipes or ideas. Find the good in bad. When encountering obstacles, you want to be in the habit of finding what works to get over them. You should also start to take note of when your motivation is high and when it is low. You should find what motivates you and reward yourself. Positive self motivation is important so you can stay on the right path and be successful in life. You should always stay positive and happy if you are a CTR person 24/7 and Choose the Right

Quality 3: Positive Self-Image

True winners are confident and view themselves as competent, valuable human beings.

When you have a positive self-image it means you see yourself as perfect and nothing wrong with you. When you have a positive self-image you give yourself a positive attitude which can make you a person whom others would want to associate with. You have to view yourself as perfect before others will. An example in which this quality would be useful in is when you or someone is running for a position in power such as presidency or governmental. The reason why positive self-image would be necessary in this situation is because self-image is important. I know this as a fact because John F. Kennedy use self-image as a way to help himself get votes. If you do not look be suited for a position then you will most likely not get it.
                             

Quality 4: Positive Self-Direction

You gotta have direction if you are going to go anywhere. True winners know where they are going. Their sense of direction comes from the self and not from outside influences like parents or friends.

When we talk about sense of direction, we are talking about knowing where you want to go in life. This is one of the most important things that you have to know because wherever you want to go in life will impact your future dramatically. Sense of direction should be one of the skills you choose to improve on because where you go in life will determinate the type of life style you live. Wherever you want to go should be a place where you can improve and not a place that is for CTW people. Positive self-direction means you only move forward in life and don't take steps back. Self direction should always be forward in a CTR direction. An example of this could be when you go to college. If you are invited to a party on a school night and you have to study for an exam, you should stay and study because even though the party may be fun for a few hours, in the long run you might look back on it and regret it knowing you could have stayed home and studied to pass the exam. No one but yourself should be responsible for guiding you in the right direction.
         

Quality 5: Positive Self-Control

Total winners can sacrifice immediate pleasure for a gain in the future. Delayed gratification is of immense value in reaching your goals.

When you have self control it means that you don't do anything you shouldn't even though you might have the need to do something, but even though it's wrong, You still do not do it. An example of self control is when you go to a buffet. You might feel the urge to eat anything and everything you can but you have to know your limits and not pass them. If you go to a buffet and have a goal to only eat a certain amount of calories and you stick to your goal, that is positive self-control. This quality isn't really talked about because everyone learns self-control when they are little.
                         

Quality 6: Positive Self-Discipline

You have to discipline yourself or else someone else will discipline you into doing what they want you to do. Total winners have the power to discipline and take control of their lives.

   

Quality 7: Positive Self-Esteem

Your mood and outlook on life affect the way you see the world and how you interact in it. Total winners are positive, powerful people who make people feel good and provide a good vibe to those around him/her.

You should have a positive outlook when it comes to your self esteem. If you want to attract good vibes, then you need to always remain calm and positive. The best thing about having a positive self esteem is that you can be yourself. You can be happy by living on your own terms, each of us can gain a better understanding of what we want. Another good thing about having a high self esteem is also that you can face new challenges. You will face these challenges enthusiastically, and want to come up with a creative solution. If you Choose the Right 24/7, you will have much more than a positive self esteem. You will have a positive outlook on life that will make you a total winner.

Quality 8: Positive Self-Dimension

Total winners like in the present. They know that now is all there is. They don’t get caught up in the past or worry about the future. They simply handle the business that they can handle which is the stuff going on today, now.

You should not worry too much about your past because it should not define you. You should live in the present because ultimately the present can help determine your success in the future, You shouldn't stress about what you cant change, but focus on your energy on what you can change now. You should handle whatever business you have to today, then focus on what else you can change tomorrow

Quality 9: Positive Self-Awareness

Total winners are aware of their power. They understand that they can be anything with enough effort and determination.

Positive self awareness means to have conscious knowledge of one's own character, feelings, or motives. I read that self awareness is the key cornerstone to emotional intelligence. It has the ability to monitor our emotions and thoughts from moment to moment, so that we can understand one another and get the outcome that we would like. Becoming self-aware is the an early step in the creation of life you want, your future. An example of this quality would be when you are headed to college after you have just graduated from high school. You will need to understand, that there will be a few changes in your life because now you have to control you life without the help of your parents. The quote explains how having self awareness will lead you towards being a champion and I believe that is true because you'll need confidence withing yourself to bring the best out of you into the world. I can apply this quality into my daily life by trying or learning new techniques that can improve my confidence. 

Quality 10: Positive Action

Total winners take positive action in their business and with their friends and family. They are uplifting and motivating individuals who inspire the best from themselves and other

Positive action is when a person takes the steps to help or encourage others in different ways.An example of this quality would be when you attend a parade and stand up for what you believe is right. You have the courage to inspire and be heard. The quote explains how having positive thoughts and actions, will give you positive results. It is important that you know how to be a motivation to others. The word positive means to be clear and definite, so there's no doubting yourself. I can apply this quality into my life by always thinking on the bright side and ignore the negative comments or obstacles being thrown at me. One can follow this quality by doing what is right or just having a positive mind.

Pyramid of Success

                                 

Pyramid of Success

The Pyramid of Success
John Wooden
25 blocks

Block 1: Industriousness

"There is no substitute for work. Worthwhile results come from hard work and careful planning."

When you are a industrious person, you work hard and are always doing something to keep you occupied to become a better person. This can mean improving yourself educational wise or spiritual wise. There is always something you can improve on. This is one of the first steps in the pyramid of success and this is because if you won't take time to improve yourself, then you will most likely not be able to complete any of the other steps. Hard work pays off at the end.

                                               

Block 2: Enthusiasm

"It is the engine that powers all blocks of the Pyramid. It is why I chose Industriousness and Enthusiasm as the cornerstones of my Pyramid of Success. It is where everything begins."

When you are enthusiastic you are ready to do whatever you have to do. Enthusiasm is what strives a person to complete their goals and have a fun time doing it. Enthusiasm is also very useful when you play a sport or try anything that is competitive because you will be eager to go out there and give it your best shot. An example of enthusiasm is if your teacher says that there will be a test next class. If you are enthusiastic and want to take it, you will study eagerly and when it comes to the test you will pass because you are looking forward to it and you studied.
               

Block 3: Friendship

"Comes from mutual esteem, respect and devotion. Like marriage it must not be taken for granted but requires a joint effort."

If you want to have more opportunists in life and want to have people you can trust and depend on you have to start to make friendships with people devoted to be successful. If you start to befriend people who do not have goals for themselves then it is likely that they will not be helpful to you or they will bring you down. You have to befriend people who have goals for themselves because if you hang out with people who want to be successful, they could influence you to do better. Also, when you have friends, they might be able to hook you up with certain things. If you want to get a job, one of your friends might know someone who is hiring. If you need help on an assignment, you can depend on a friend. But, friendships aren't a one way thing, you will also have to there when your friends need you.
                          

Block 4: Loyalty

"To yourself and to all those depending upon you. Keep your self-respect."

Loyalty something any good person needs weather it being for friendship or a relationship loyalty is always needed. Knowing that someone has loyalty to you is something great but one little mess up and you could lose it and once you lose someone's loyalty you can pretty much never get it back fully. So if someone had given their loyalty to you dont over do it because it's a great thing to have. Loyalty is a gift so enjoy it and don't overuse it because soon you won't be able to have it and people will have less self-respect for you.
                                      

Block 5: Cooperation

"With all levels of your co-workers. Listen if you want to be heard. Be interested in finding the best way, not in having your own way. "

I agree with this quote about cooperation by John Wooden. Although you may not always agree with another person's thoughts/ideas, you should still be an active listener. If the tables were turned, you as well would want people to listen to your ideas. Cooperation means that both sides put in the equal amount of time and effort. Cooperation also means having an equal understanding of consensus on both sides. You need to be able to come to an agreement after all in order to cooperate with someone. Also, you should keep in mind that you are trying to find the best way of doing something, not just your way. It can be that the best way can be a mixture of everyone's ideas. You should not have a mindset and be stubborn that it has to be your way or not at all. We should not judge people based on looks because everyone has something different to bring to the table. For example, some people may have connections or resources needed to complete a specific task. In order to cooperate, you just need to have to be open minded and willing to put in your part.

Block 6: Ambition (For noble goals)
In order to be successful, you must have some greedy ambitions inside of you. To be ambitious is not being selfish, it just means you believe you deserve more than what you have. It basically means you are never satisfied and are always thriving for more. But in fact, this is a good thing, especially in the workplace. Employers are usually looking for someone with goals and ambitions, and to create relations inside of the company.

Block 7: Self-Control

"Practice self-discipline and keep emotions under control. Good judgement and common sense are essential."

When you have self control it means that you are able to do your work or achieve a goal without letting your emotions play a role in your accomplishments because they can bring you down. Self control is very necessary because it is unprofessional to let your emotions out when you are conducting business. An example of this can be when you are at school making a presentation. You have to remember that you have to do the best you can and not emotions play a role in your presentation because if you get mad a t a comment or react on it based on emotion it will make you look bad. You have to have control over yourself because if you don't, you won't go far in life. Self-control is one of the first skills you should develop because self-control will show you what you can and can't handle.     

                            

Block 8: Alertness

"Be observing constantly. Stay open-minded. Be eager to learn and improve."

Alertness plays a role in being successful because you have to see the dangers that can occur due to your actions. You always have to be alert and on your toes ready to go. If you are never alert then you will not be prepared when the situation calls for it. An example of when alertness can play a role is when you are trying to see who is fake and who is not when making friends. If you can't catch it when they show they are fake and you aren't aware to know you will be setting yourself up. Another example of alertness is when there is something bad that's about to happen like a car accident. You have to be aware of everything happening around you to be safe.

Block 9: Initiative

"Cultivate the ability to make decisions and think alone. Do not be afraid of failure, but learn from it."

I believe what this quote means is to be able to make decisions for yourself without having to depend on others. Not everyone is in the same situation as you, so sometimes you have to make decisions based on what's best for you. You should be able to take initiative and take the lead when there is no one else there to do it. You shouldn't be afraid to fail because in order to really succeed, you need to fall a couple times and pick yourself up. It is always a great help to have support from others, but unfortunately you will not always have people around you. In this case, you will need to step up and take the lead in order to make a decision that you will not regret. 

                       

Block 10: Intentness

"Set a realistic goal. Concentrate on its achievement by resisting all temptations and being determined and persistent."

What this quote means is basically that you shouldn't set a goal so unrealistically high that you get discouraged from it. You should set a goal that you know you can achieve, and then set another goal.Intentness is the thing that keeps a person reaching for the next achievement, to make each possibility a reality. The road to achievement may be difficult, but if you set realistic goals it can be alot easier. Even if you have to try different methods, you should never quit. Be intent, persistent and determined to reach your realistic objective. Once you set a goal, you should be determined to reach it. You should not give up no matter what circumstances are put in your way. You should always try to overcome circumstances, no matter how hard they may get. The more obstacles you overcome, the stronger your mindset will be towards achieving your desired goal. It takes a lot of hard work and persistence to achieve a goal, but if you stay dedicated you will get there.

               

Block 11: Sincerity (keeps friends)

This block talks about sincerity which is a mix of seriousness and honesty. Meaning that if you are able to do things with sincerity people will be able to trust you. An example of sincerity would be when you're in a relationship and you din't cheat on your spouse with another person. Don't lie to their face because it will just complicate things and you wouldn't want that . When you don't like something be honest with that person, even if it means that they'll get mad but at least you're being sincere. This quote by Confucius tells you how sincerity and truth are the main basis of life and virtue. It's not hard to have sincerity because all you have to do is show your integrity, dignity. compassion, honesty, respect etc, to gain friends. I can apply this new block into my life because I will try to be more honest with my family and always make sure to say the truth and gain their trust
               
Block 12: Adaptability (to any situation)
When you are able to adapt to any environment or situation you are put on, then you will be able to make something out of your life because not everyone can be able to do that. An example of this is when you are in a new class. The sooner you are able to adapt to a new class, the sooner you will start to learn more effectively. This skill can be compared to an animals skill in the wild to adapt. If an animal is not able to adapt to its new environment then it's likely that it will not survive. Being able to new situations will improve the chances of you being successful.

                     

Block 13: Condition

"Mental-Moral-Physical. Rest, exercise and diet must be considered. Moderation must be practiced. Dissipation must be eliminated."

To condition yourself, it means to get use to doing something. Where that means waking up at a certain time everyday or doing all your chores without being asked. This is a important skill to learn because when you are conditioned you don't have to really think about the thing you are conditioned to do. An example of this can be, doing your homework as soon as you get home. Being conditioned will keep you on track because it is almost like an automatic response to do whatever you are conditioned to do.

                        

Block 14: Skill

"A knowledge of and the ability to properly and quickly execute the fundamentals. Be prepared and cover every little detail."

You must have skill for whatever you decide to do in life. Skill is very important because when you do something in life, you need to have skill. Many employers in the work place look for skill over experience, and it might help you out. When we do something, it should be to the best of your ability.Also, when you have skill you feel better prepared during an interview.For example, here at HPIAM we have SLO's that will help prepare you for the future. One skill that is very important to have is being a critical thinker. To be a critical thinker, you must examine the details very clearly and make the best sense out of it. Another good skill you should have is being an effective communicator. This way you can effectively communicate your thoughts and ideas to others. Having skill is an ongoing lifelong process that you should accustom to.

                 

Block 15:  Team Spirit

"A genuine consideration for others. An eagerness to sacrifice personal interests of glory for the welfare of all."

I agree strongly with this quote by John Wooden. You should take others into consideration because if the tables were turned, you'd want people to do the same for you.Whether serving others’ needs physically or emotionally, even the simplest acts of kindness can have a tremendous positive impact. If you think of the human race as your team, having team spirit means helping your fellow man to succeed in life. Having 5 minds versus one is always beneficial, and everyone has something different to say, which is better than one. You should help others if you see someone is in need of help. For example, when I was in color-guard we all had to work as a team to perform the routine. If even one girl does something wrong, it affects all of us. So we would work as a team to clean routines so we can perform it. It is important to be able to work in teams because it can also help you in the future in your career.
                                   

Block 16: Honesty (in thought and action)

"Honesty is the best policy." (Ben Franklin)

When you stand for honesty, you believe in yourself and everything you represent. When you stand for honesty, everything you say carries the voice of credibility. But, when you’re dishonest, your soiled reputation will do the speaking for you.The truth shouldn’t be told only when it’s convenient. Honesty must be a way of life. Honesty means that you care deeply about trust, cherish your relationships, and value the importance of a solid reputation. Honesty means that you try to do your best and are willing to accept the consequences of your actions. Honesty means that you respect others enough to tell them the truth and that you value your opinion of yourself enough to never live a lie. As the saying goes, “It’s simple. Never lie to someone who trusts you, and never trust someone who lies to you.” That’s why it’s critical to always tell the truth — or the truth will tell on you. Honest.You should never lie when you are trying to explain something to somebody. You should always choose the right 24/7 no matter what the situation is. For example when you are taking a test, you should never cheat and you should be honest.

Block 17: Resourcefulness (proper judgment)

 “Make the most out of what you have.” (Anonymous)

"If you have a dream, if you have something you've always wanted to do, look within yourself because that is where resourcefulness resides; and go for it. (Jennifer Witterick)'

Block 18: Poise

"Just being yourself. Being at ease in any situation."

Block 19: Confidence 

"Thorough preparation breeds confidence" Gerald Bell in

You need to practice. If you don't practice you might not do it right. By preparing you will get confidence and you will do it right. An example of this would be when I was in baseball, you would have to prepare and practice for the games.When you prepare for any test or quiz you have lots of chances of passing the test or quiz. For example, when you study hard you are preparing yourself getting ready. by preparing yourself it brings you lots of confidence because you know you could do anything after you prepared.I agree with this statement because thorough preparation we do get confidence in what we want to do. We all have to prepare for everything in our lives and we have to be confident in what we do. We have to be in control and show that we know what we doing. Like for us seniors we have to be confident that we will graduate and will have a good future. Life is about preparing for new things to come to u, and we should have the confidence that it will go all right. Being ready is always better than being unprepared or doing things last minute.

"The Carolina Way"

Block 20: Reliability (creates respect)

When you are a reliable person, it means that you are someone who is responsible and others could trust you to do something you say you will do. When you are reliable you are trustworthy of getting your part done. An example of this is when you are planning out an event. The people who are responsible for the event planning and making are people who are reliable. If an unreliable person was put to set up the event, there is a chance that they will not do there part. Reliability is very important when you are applying for a job because no one wants to hire someone who is not responsible.

          

Block 21: Fight (determined effort)

When I say fight as one of the blocks I don't mean it in the sense of fighting with someone to cause physical harm but to put on a challenge to prove or show you point on something. Another way that the word fight could be seen as is when you are going through a rough time but you have to fight through it and get better. An example of this is a lawyer because they fight for their clients to win.

                 

Block 22: Competitive Greatness

" Be at your best when your best is needed. Enjoyment of a difficult challenge."

What this quote means is that there is nothing wrong with a challenge. Nothing comes easy to us in this world, and it is a good thing to be challenged sometimes. Instead of getting frustrated when we are challenged, we should try to enjoy it. Competitive greatness is when you aren't focused on winning, you are focused on being the best you can be.Real joy and pleasure comes from being involved in something difficult. Whatever we do, whether simple or complex, we should do it at the best of our ability. It isn't truly rewarding when you can do something simple and ordinary that everyone can do. A great competitor "revels" in doing the most difficult things. 

Block 23: Integrity (purity of intention)
When you have integrity you have self moral principles and are an honest person. Integrity means you have set standards for yourself and what to keep a clean image of yourself. If no one had integrity then they would have no real respect themselves An example of this could be  When a person lies, their integrity can be turned into something meaningless since their word is meaningless.

Block 24: Faith (through prayer)
Believe and Achieve. Positive belief. 

 To have faith means to have confidence in someone or something. Having faith is an example of having trust. When you are faithful you don't have any doubts. The reason why faith is important is because without it no one will be successful. If no one had faith in themselves, the world wouldn't be the same. With faith a person could have the confidence to go after a certain career in life. Another example in which faith could be used is when you are going through troublesome times and you can't think of anything else to do that will help you out. Faith through prayer can be soothing a person because that might have been the way that person was raised. Faith through prayer isn't some sort of metrical, it's a way for a person to make themselves feel psychologically better.

Block 25: Patience (good things take time)
We must have patience to maintain our enthusiasm and industriousness when pursuing our goals. It is patience that reminds us that our hard work will pay off, that worthwhile goals take time to achieve. We must have patience to be a good listener, which is a requirement of cooperation. Patience is required to maintain our intentness in the face of adversity. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Genius is nothing but a greater aptitude for patience.” Or as Isaac Newton wrote, “If I have ever made any valuable discoveries, it has been owing more to patient attention than to any other talent.”In simple words patience makes life very easy.Patient people are best human beings. They have good mental health and keep calm in difficult situations. They can easily achieve whatever they want in their life. Indeed to keep ourselves patient in difficult situations is very difficult. Perhaps that is the reason why patient people are great and successful.Acting with patience is a way of telling life that you are in no hurry, there is no distress—only peace and confidence in your truth. When we have patience, we become less reactionary, which avoids many unwanted tensions, issues, arguments etc.

reflection:
For the last two months we've been researching and learning about Building blocks for the pyramid of success and they are all very useful and fundamental to live a happy and successful life. All of the blocks are good skills that can be easily learned and applied in everyday life situations. The reason why they are so useful is because they all help you out to become a better person and character. Just missing one of these building blocks in your life could be detrimental to your success. John Wooden is the man who created the pyramid of success by living his life and seeing and learning what it takes to have success. He is a coach and he teaches all of his players these building blocks because he wants them to be the best they can be. 

                                  10 Keys to Personal Power
                                 

Key 1: Clarity

Clarity means the quality of being clear. Brian Tracy wants people to have a clear mind and think of what they want to do in life. He wants people to have their goals prepared and be specific in them too. Brian believes not having a clear set of goal will not work in your favor. He believes it will lead you to a unsuccessful life of working for others who had clarity. A example of clear goals would be wanting to become a doctor. Knowing the requirements to become a doctor and knowing each step you will do to become a doctor.

                                            

Key 2: Competence 
When you are working on your homework or a school assignment you need to always complete it and not leave any park undone. When you want to be successful you need to complete everything and not leave things incomplete. Successful people do not turn in ideas or projects that are not done. Turning work that is incomplete is unprofessional and will not make you a successful or responsible person. An example of this can be when you are applying for a job. If you have a resume that is incomplete then you very unlikely to get that job because incompleteness shows that you are not responsible and unreliable. To be a person who can use competence in a perfect manner you have to develop other skills that will assist you in being a competent.    

           
Key 3: Concentration             
  One important way to make sure that you can be the best you and a way to personal power. you should always stay focus and stay on track. When you are taking a test you don't pass by getting off track, you have to stay focus and finish your current goal to complete you future goals/ your main goals in life. A real situation you might find yourself one day can be when you are being interviewed for a job. You can't get distracted because you will ruin the chances of you getting that position. Concentration also plays a key role when you are playing a skilled game such as chest or checkers. You have to keep track and stay concentrated to prevent the opponent from beating you due to you not paying attention to a move that was played. Concentration is one of the most important rules to be successful.
                                   

Key 4: Common Sense

• Train your mind
• think things through
• listen to your intuition
• learn from setbacks

To be a successful person and how to be the best you, you have to have common sense. Common sense is something we all have but some of us don't use it. Having common sense means just knowing the simple things in life. One example of this is knowing what to expect your grade to look like when you don't do your homework. Without common sense no one would be successful in life. You should also think things threw before you try them. As well as to learn from your mistakes and set backs. You should also be training your mind on a daily basis to improve your knowledge and critical thinking skills. Common sense is one of the only things that you are born with that can get you far in life if you know how to use it.   
                          
Key 5: Creativity

"Except the fact that every human being is a genius.  The hallmark of creativity is asking questions.  The people who are most creative ask the most questions."

When you are a creative person you get more ideas then others and that is a good thing because inventions are just ideas thought up by creative people before they are invented. One example in which creativity is needed is in certain games and as well in school. I remember that in certain assignments you get points for creativity and if there's no creativity then you will lose points. Creativity will help you reach your best personal power because creativity is a great way to get problems solved because you can think outside the box and you don't limit yourself.

                                       

Key 6: Consideration

"The quality of your relationships with other people will determine your success in life."

"Develop the people skills you need to become a better communicator.  Take courses in listening, speaking, etc."

"If you were to learn one new word a day, within 5 years, you’ll be the best educated person in history."

  When I say consideration I mean that you have to consider everything that could happen due to a choice you make. Also, this key which is consideration can be used when you have to think about others before you choose to make an action. By think about others, I mean that you have to think abut how they would feel or think when something is said or done. It is great to be considerate because you should want everyone to like you because when people like you, they can put in a work for you. When I say, put in a word for you, I mean that they can back you up when you are in a bad position. An example of this can be when you are blamed or falsely accused of a crime you didn't commit. If a person such as a principle or teacher like you, they could help you and back you up    because they know that you are a great person. Being considerate will get you for in life and help you be more well liked by others.
                                              

Key 7: Consistency

"Dependable, steady predictable work is always superior to fast spurts of work."

Be consistent in your relationships, your family, friends, your boss, your work.  Be the person that people can depend upon.  That if you say you’ll do something you do it.." 

Being consistent means to always bring your A game and keep on giving effort in a steady way which is not decreasing or slowing down. When you are consistent you are never dropping, you aren't going down. Being consistent means to not increase nor decrease, it means to be effective over time. Being consistent at work is a great way to keep your job because when you are consistent at work, you are still putting in as much work as when you started to the job with the best amount of effort. Consistency is also something very important to athletes of all castigators. This is because if an athlete starts to show signs that they are slowing down, then it might be a early sign of losing.

                   

Key 8: Commitment

"No success is possible without commitment.  The ability to commit yourself whole heartily is the basis of achieving all success."

"Become totally absorbed in your work.  Be totally committed."

 When you want to be the best version of yourself, you have to be committed. To be committed means to no give up and stay true to yourself. When you are committed you are saying that you are going to do something and you stay true to your words. A great example of this is when you are getting married. When you get married it means that you are committed to only being with the partner you married an you have to stay loyal to your choice. But usually, people who get married aren't really prepared and that's why lots of people get divorced. Another example of being committed is when you get yourself a gym membership. Most people only go for a week or two when they buy a membership but, you should be committed to going to the gym since you bought a long-term membership. School can also be a commitment. A commitment can also be seen as a promise you make to yourself or to others.
                            

Key 9: Courage

"The fear of failure is the single greatest reason for failure in life."  

 To have courage means to stand up for what's right. To have courage means to be brave and take action in your life. It means to not let opportunities just go way, you have to take every shot you got to be successful. An example of this can be, going into an interview for a job that you really want. If you did not have courage, you would probably not be brave enough to go in and give it all you got. You could be a bit nervous and not do as well as you hoped for and not get the job. When you are courage you don't let fear get in your way of doing what you want exactly how you want it. Another example of this can be when you are presenting your IDP in school. If you are not courageous then you might be a bit nervous which can effect your performance hence, you get get deducted points off your final grade for the presentation. Another example of being courageous can be in

Key 10: Confidence

"You only get confidence by doing things over and over again ." 

When you have confidence you are not afraid to over come your fear and challenges. When you are confident you have courage to do whatever you feel like setting your mind to. Everyone has a certain amount of confidence, but those who a great deal of confidence are those who are successful in life because they don't let anything get in their way.
