                                 Final Part 1
1A. The things i like about the class are that i have been able to improve on my typing skills, and i have been introduced to HTML which lets me create my own page. Some of the things i did not like about the class are that a great amount of the block was spent on reviewing how to be a CTR person and a small portion on the class was spent on what we actually had to review. Learning how to choose the right is important, but spending more time on the actual subjects we need to learn would be good.
2. Personally i did not try my best in this class because i would not reflect on the quotes we were given, do to my procrastination.

Six Ways to Make People Like you. If you want people to like you........

Rule 1: Becoming genuinely interested in other people.
"Do this and you will be welcome anywhere."
"You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you."
"Ask questions to other people, questions that they would enjoy answering."

No matter how nice or respectful you are some people will not like you, but there is one way that you can make people like you and it is by being interested in what other people think or believe.

Rule 2: Smile 
"Actions speak louder than words, and a smile says,"i like you. You make me happy. I am glad to see you." 
Smiling is one of the most important actions a human should learn to do. A smile can make the day of someone a lot better, it might sound exaggerated but a smile might even save someones life  

Rule 3: Remember names 
" A man's name is to him the sweetest and most important sound in any language."
"If you don't remember names, you are headed for trouble." 

Being able to remember a name is a lot more important than many think. If you meet someone the first thing that should be asked is each others name. Not knowing someones name can be extremely rude and it can be taken as a form of discrimination and rudeness. 

Rule 4: Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves
" If you aspire to be a good conversationalist, be an attentive listener."
" Remember that the man you are talking to is a hundred times more interested in himself and his wants and his problems than he is in you and your problems."
Being a good listener plays a huge role in making people like you, because when someone meets someone else they expect for him/her to listen to their name and point of view, that way a good conversation can be hold. Being a good listener is important because that is a good way to learn them name of someone else.

5 steps for active listening
1.stay focus
dont judge
be patient
keep eye contact
2. really listen, do not be thinking of what you should say next
3. allow for period of silence, wait until the other person speaks again
4. read and paraphrase their words again
5. understand the emotions behind the words

Rule 5: Talk in terms of the other man's interest. 
"The royal road to a man's heart is to talk to him about the things he treasures most." 
This quote has a lot of importance because it allows for us to become better people, and it also makes people like us more. It is extremely rude to be talking about ones selves all the time, and not talk about what the other person likes, but before doing all this, you must be able to listen really carefully.  

Rule 6: Make the other person feel important-and do it sincerely.
"The desire to be important is deepest urge in human nature ." (John Dewey) "Helping people feel important and appreciate works magic".

                                            Glenn Cunningham
Glenn Cunningham is a great example of someone who is qualified as a great achiever because he was able to prove everyone who doubted him wrong, and all because he had a heart with no limits. When he was a little boy he was involved in an accident which took the life of his brother and injured him really bad. The doctor stated that Glenn was never going to be able to walk again, but he did not give up so easily. Every day he would say to him self that he was going to walk, and no matter how painful it was he would get up and try to give a few steps until he became successful. Glenn had so much heart and determination that he even went to the Olympics, and he did not stop there, he continued and did everything possible to become a doctor. I can conclude that Glenn is a man that deserves to be called a high achiever because he achieved something that many would have thought impossible.

          "The Six Attitudes of High Achievers"
                                           
                                                           High achievers......
1. Make no small plans
Everything starts by making plans, by setting goals that will guide you in to success. In order to become someone, big goals need to be set, and big plans have to be put in to action in order to become someone with a great life. A small plan is to go to school everyday, but a big plan would be to graduate high school and attend a college or university. Someone can point at the sky because that  is how much they want to achieve but if they keep pointing and they start to focus on the finger they are loosing the opportunity to see all the heavenly glory. Big plans include aiming at something which is categorized as impossible and showing everyone see that there is some way to make it happen, and it was all possible because there was never no small plans in your thoughts. Making small plans also refers to being satisfied with any little thing that is given to you, but life cant be lived that way. 
  
                 

  


2. Do what they fear
Have no fear of moving into the unknown. Simply step out fearlessly knowing that I am with you, therefore no harm can befall you; all is very, very well. Do this in complete faith and confidence.-Pope John Paul II
Those few individuals that are characterized as high achievers have gained that title for one reason. They were able to realize that the only way that something new can be created is by taking a chance and do what everyone else has feared. People can be afraid to explore new territory, but there is always going to be someone who is willing to take a risk and do what everyone else fears, and that one individual will discover new things, and most important he will be recognized as a high achiever because of this task. It is not always the person that everyone expects, the one that will accomplish a task of great difficulty, many times is those that are tired of living under the same basic commands, under a mundane system. The quote i chose proves my point because in order to be someone in life you need to step out fearlessly, and accept any challenge that might be created. 


3. Are willing to prepare 


4. Are willing to risk failure 

"Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go."-T. S. Eliot
Every high achiever always has something in mind, and that is the possibility of them failing. It might be crazy that even the great ones have the fear of failing, but that fear is what is going to motivate them in to working harder, and rise up once again with an even stronger mind set. It is in everyone life the possibility of failing, the only difference is that a high achiever is willing to take that risk and go full speed and full effort towards breaking all the barriers that might get in his way. Some people that have become high achievers due to their determination and them willing to take a risk are Albert Einstein, Galileo Galilei, and Isaac Newton, this were scientist who created a great impact on the world at their moment of existence, but as of now they still do because their inventions have shaped our world today. They were able to accomplish this due to the fact that they were willing to risk failure but keep trying.


5. Are teachable

“If you’re not willing to learn, no one can help you. If you’re determined to learn, no one can stop you.”~UNKNOWN

Knowledge is found everywhere around us, but many people take it for granted and choose to ignore it but do not realize that being able to acquire this knowledge could change their lives. Becoming a great achiever means that you are able to learn new things, and acquire knowledge that will make you a person of choosing the right, someone who is able to make great decisions due to the knowledge they have acquired can go places, can see his own mistakes, and is willing to learn on his own mistakes. The brain is the humans most important organism for many reasons, not only because it keeps our body going but because it allows for us to create things, discover amazing things, and make a difference in the world.


6.Have heart 

"Put your heart, mind, and soul into even your smallest acts. This is the secret of success".-
I believe that this is one of the most important attitudes of someone who is striving to be qualified as a great achiever. There are many reasons why i believe this but i will start by explaining why i chose this quote, this quote has a deeper meaning than it appears to have. A great achiever will wake up every single morning and get his day going, but there is a slight difference, the great achiever will wake up having great plans planned ahead of him, they will fear nothing and charge against any challenge that appears in front of them, they will be organized and have everything prepared, they are willing to risk failure, and no matter how frustrated or mad they are, a great achiever is going to be open to any new knowledge that is given to him, and finally a great achiever will have a heart that knows no limit, even if it comes to giving a piece of food to an animal they are going to do it with satisfaction and with a good heart. This is an attribute that will not only make you acquire a peaceful mind, it will also open many doors in your life, and it will grant you a pure spirit. 
    


Reflection
After learning about the six attitudes i can firmly say that in order to become a high achiever they all need to be followed. At first it might be one of the most difficult tasks that someone will ever face. but as every one of the attitudes is achieved the following one will be easier to master.

                                   Way to Be
                                         9 ways to be Happy and Make something of your life


Gordon B. Hinckley 
1. Be Grateful
"He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has." Epictetus

This New Way has a lot of power and meaning, someone might have everything they have ever desired but if gratitude isn't showed then all those things they've acquired are meaningless. In this world is the person who has gratitude towards every little thing they have, no matter how valuable, how big or small, who is going to live happy and enjoy life to the fullest. A poor man can be seen in the streets, but that man can have the biggest smile in the world because he has learned to appreciate the one thing that has no comparison, which is life and being able to wake up once again.
 

2. Be Smart
"Working hard and working smart sometimes can be two different things." -Byron Dorgan

A great quote and attribute have a lot of meaning and power within. To be smart does not only mean to have good grades in school, it means something else in life. In order to live a smart life you need to be able to take the right decisions, not the choices that will make you have all the things you desire, but the choices that will make you have a pure soul and a clean mind. The quote i chose means that working really hard is not all, someone might work hard for hours but doing the same thing, in contrast if you work smart you will complete more with out taking so much of a beating.


3. Be involved in good works
"Don't worry about being a star, worry about doing good work, and all that will come to you".- icecube 

In an everyday base many tasks are required to be completed, they might be tasks of hours or something as short as 5 minutes, but it depends how it is completed. If everything is done with a positive and respectful mind it will be good work. The quote has a lot of meaning because  

4. Be clean

This is a quote with a lot of deep meaning, also the word it self has a huge meaning, to be clean does not only refer to taking a shower, brushing your teeth, or even having a clean room. The things i just mentioned above are indeed important but being clean may also mean to have nothing to worry about and enjoying life. There are problems every where around us, but it is up to us how we choose to see them, either we solve them in such a manner that it is clean, and we do not have to worry about the problem coming back. Being clean also mean that there is no thought of you using drugs, getting a tattoo, going to parties, being in the wrong relationship, drinking and many other things. The quote i chose proves my point that being clean does not only have to be physically, some times getting away from people and going in to nature can help because it cleans your soul, mind and spirit. 


5. Be true 
" I am not bound to win, but i am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but i am bound to live by the light that i have. I must stand with anyone that stands right, and i stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong." -Abraham Lincoln

In life there are going to be many challenges, they might come in the most unexpected time but that is how it is going to be determined who is being true and who is not. As the quote mentions " I am not bound to win, but i am bound to be true," lets everyone get a feeling of deep thoughts in which it is comprehended that victory wont truly be achieved until your mind set is competently pure and only truth is bound to be spoken and acted. It is someones own decision weather they are willing to complete a task with honesty and do it 100%. 

6.Be positive 
"Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact".

One day there will be a person you look at and wonder, how can he have such an amazing life? The answer to that question wont be in any book, because he will tell you that the answer to having an amazing life is to be positive every single day of your life. Being positive does not only implement that a smile will be given every once in a while, being positive means being able to wake up and be happy for everything you have, The moment a step is placed outside your house is the moment the whole world should be able to see your immense smile. Many do not realize that a smile can improve the day of someone else, a smile can even save a life. To be more positive i am planning on doing everything with honesty, and try my best, because once i see the results ill be glad i tried my best because the result will be positive. A positive attitude, mind, and spirit can create great opportunities and open many doors for someone.
 

7. Be Humble 
"Success comes to those who dedicate everything to their passion in life. To be successful, it is also very important to be humble and never let fame or money travel to your head." -A. R. Rahman 

Humble, a simple word that can really change your future. From my own experience i have learned that many battles can be won but after some time, fame will rise to your head and procrastination, ignorance, and lack of determination are going to appear. Being humble can be really easy at a normal day routine, but once a change occurs and that change brings fortune or something you always have desired it is going to be hard to be humble. After every football game that came out in a lost, my coach would say, "Humble in victory and gracious in defeat," this is a good way of using the word humble because once you start winning you start loosing track of the fundamentals, at the time it might seem that it is just little things such as getting late to practice, going slower at times, not having positive thoughts, but once game day comes all those little mistakes that were made just for having all the fame covering your face will show and it might even cost you the game. That is why being humble is a great attribute because once you learn to master it, you will be able to do anything you wish and get good results, not once or twice but as many times as it is possible. 

8. Be Still
 " But i have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me" -Psalm 131;2

Being still, many might think of not moving when they hear this word but there is a lot more meaning behind this. I believe this

9. Be Prayerful 

Reflection: Through out the past weeks we have been learning about 9 ways to be happy and make something of your life. This 9 ways include, Be grateful, Be smart, Be involved in good works, Be clean, Be true, Be positive, Be humble, Be still, and Be prayerful. This nine ways of being are the key to a promising future, but it will take a lot of determination, and a positive mind set to achieve all of this things. Every day you will encounter a situation in which one of this nine ways of being will be required, either if it is only by helping a neighbor, doing your chores, lifting up a piece of trash from the ground, or even smiling. This attributes wont only change your life but it will influence people around you to be someone better.

                                 Commitment

The state or quality of being dedicated to a cause, activity.

 "We have to recognize that there cannot be relationships unless there is commitment, unless there is loyalty, unless there is love, patience, persistence." 
―Cornel West

This quote explains that in order to make something function as it should, commitment is required. Commitment is the ability to dedicate yourself to what you truly love or to a goal that has been set. In any sport its the most committed person that will be noticed, the physical qualities of that person might be the worst but with a lot of commitment and dedication anything can be accomplish.This attribute is useful even on the most common situations, if things keep on getting done with commitment they will maintain the same quality.

       Personal development quote
      
 "The key to freedom is obedience. The more obedient we are, the more freedom we have".
                                                                    obedience 
                                     Being able to accomplish a task with out complaining.


This quote already beholds an attribute within, and that attribute is obedience. The following quote and attribute are really important because it lets us know that in order to find freedom you need to obey, it might require you to do as someone else say or even obeying your own thoughts. Many times if you are obedient to the teachings of an older person you will find freedom because they will guide you with their experience. It is up to you if you want to do as they have told you, but as a result a road of misery and bad surprised you will encounter.

                                A smile 
Form one's features into a pleased, kind, or amused expression, typically with the corners 

of the mouth turned.

"Smiling is definitely one of the best beauty remedies. If you have a good sense of humor and a good approach to life, that's beautiful".
                                                                             Rashida jones


  This attribute and quote are simply priceless, first of all a smile is a way to show that there is someone that cares inside of you, a smile could make any moment of tragedy better. Every time a person enters a new place, and the first thing they see is smiles everywhere, it will automatically raise up their self-esteem. Many people see the exterior beauty in people when they should be looking at the smile and feelings they carry within.

                              Persistent
Continuing firmly or obstinately in a course of action in spite of difficulty or opposition

Trough out history the greatest warriors have been able to succeed in battle because they are determined to fight until the end, and they wont give up. In any sport it is not the fastest, or strongest person that will win, it is the person who is willing to give up their free time and dedicate them selves to what they want to achieve. This can only be accomplished by being persistent and doing your best even if everyone is against or do not believe it can be accomplished. In life there are moments when failure will strike more than once or even twice but you have to be persistent enough to keep getting up and trying again until success appears. Someone that is persistent can easily be recognized because they are the people that accomplish the tasks that others do not dare to face.

                   "Decisions Determine Destiny" 
                                                          "Thoughtfulness" 
First of all this quote has a lot of wisdom within for the reason that it teaches me that the key to have a good destiny is to take the right decision. Someone might have all the money they want, and live in a big house but if they do not take the right decisions everything can disappear in the blink of an eye. The attribute i chose is thoughtfulness because in order to make right decisions, it is required to think correctly and process the decision that it is about to be taken. At times it is fine to take a decision with out thinking of what might happen because risks are part of life, but many times a decision might have more of a risk than what it is suspected, no one is allowed to shape your destiny. It someones own person the only person who has the power to change the destiny. 

This quote relates to my 100+ goals because by accomplishing them i will be able to take the right decisions and shape my destiny in to the right path.       

Tuesday, September 8, 2015

                                   Caring
Displaying kindness and concern for others.

Promising too much can be as cruel as caring too little.
This attribute and quote teach a great life lesson because it allows us to see that caring is an action that can change people in many different ways, as being happy and always having a smile in their faces. I  chose the quote due to the meaning it has, this quote lets me see that not caring is as making many promises, which leads to procrastination and not being able to complete everything that was promised, by not caring people will see you as a mean and not trust worthy person.

                                   Boldness 
courageous and fearful, not hesitating when danger or a risky situation appears in front of you. 

 “It is better to beg forgiveness, than ask permission.” 
― Grace Murray Hopper

Being bold is an attribute of great importance because it will open doors in your future, being bold means being able to face fear and go for the unknown with out hesitating. The quote is an example because its better to act according to what you believe and after beg for forgiveness rather than being afraid of doing anything because you don't want to hurt anyone.

                                  Attitude

Certain way of thinking or feeling about someone or something, normally reflected as in a person's behavior.

"A bad attitude is like a flat tire. If you don't change it, you'll never go anywhere." -unknown 

Both this quote and this attribute have a lot of impact on everyone. It helps us understand that everything starts with a good attitude, as in waking up with a grouchy and negative attitude no one will have the desire to have a conversation. By having a nonchalant attitude and always treating people with respect, your day will be a lot better and at the end of the day your mind and soul will be happy.

                Personal Development Quote 
          "A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder."
                                            Thomas Carlyle
                                                        Determination
Both the quote and attribute are of great importance because you need determination in order to keep trying your best to complete the goals you've set for yourself, not having any goals is like walking in a straight line, it will never end and everything will be the same. By setting goals new paths are opened and many new possibilities for adventure are set. A good goal could be graduating high school, and it can be accomplished by being determined and trying your best.

This quote relates to our 100+ goals because the point of setting goals for our selves is to shape our lives and try to accomplish them the best we can, we need to set high expectations.

Quote

“If you hang out with chickens, you're going to cluck and if you hang out with eagles, you're going to fly.” 
― Steve MaraboliUnapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience

This quote means that everyone is accountable for their own acts and decisions, its up to you if you choose to do the right and be an accountable person or if you choose to do the wrong and have no one trust you or believe. An example would be promising something to someone and trying your best to complete it because you are accountable for the promise.
