Class Evaluation: 

What i liked about this class was how we learned how to read html tags, how we had to write down each example of the chapters we would for w3schools, it was a lot of writing down and memorizing but we had to do it so that we can learn how to read html. Also i liked how we had to do flashcard machine because it was helpful because it would help me study sometimes. The last thing i liked was how we learned computer parts that was really helpful because i learned some computer parts i didn't even know about.

Some things that i did not like about this class was when we would randomly had to share out with the class, i didn't like this because i personally in general don't like presenting but if i have to present I'll do it because it counts towards my grade.Other than that i didn't like anything else that was the only thing i didn't like about the class was presenting randomly.

I don't think the class should improve, it doesn't need to improve just to have a bit more free time once in a while. Other than that i don't the class needs improvement.

A highlight from this class is that at the beginning we learned about computer parts, then everyday we would do a rule that Mr.Haymore would give us and we would have to reflect and give our opinion about it. Then we started working on our websites on weebly. Lastly we learned about html coding.

Yes, i really did my best in the class i would always do my work and do everything we had to do in that class.

Yes, i am reading and writing my goals for at least five minutes, sometimes i forget to read and write in my journal but i do it the next day. I don't what sharpen the saw is because the day the class started on it i wasn't there.

Yes, i am committed to being a CTR person everyday because i think it will benefit me with good opportunities in life.

The 10 Keys to Personal Power

Brian Tracy 

Key 1: Clarity
" Have Vision. Determine what you want to be, do or have in life. Have a sense of direction and know where you're going. If you do not have clear specific goals in life, you are doomed forever to work for others who do."

 What this is saying is that if you're not prepared for your future then you will be struggling throughout your life because you are not prepared and don't know what you are going to do later on in the future. You need to vision your future and think if it is going to be a good future or a bad future if you have a goal or not, some people don't have goals and they don't know what they want to do what they want to accomplish in life they don't have a plan. When you do have a plan or goals then you know what you want to do, you know what you need to do to accomplish that, you have a plan that your mind is set on and is worrying about accomplishing. If you want to accomplish this or if you want to have a plan then you should get a notebook or journal or agenda to write these goals and plans down so that you can see what your daily goal is and see what goals and plans you have accomplished and which goals and plans do you still need to accomplish. Lets say that your in high school and you are already writing down your goals you want to accomplish in the future, or you're coming up with multiple plans to have a successful future.


Key 2: Competence

" If you commit to excellence, opportunities will always come your way. The harder you work, the better you get."

This is saying is that if you set your mind to excellence good things will come your way. Like if you do something good an opportunity will come your way, lets say like if you play a sport at your school and you are really good at it then you might even end up getting a scholarship for college or university because of the sport you play. You earned that scholarship because you committed to excellence throughout the time that you played at your high school. Also like if you have a job and you do something good and you commit your mind to excellence to what you need to be doing then an opportunity can come your way like getting a raise, making you employee of the month or year, and even move you up to a different better position. Just like it says the harder you work the better you get, i think its true because its like saying " practice makes perfect" because when you practice and practice something over and over you'll get better at what you're doing, the harder you work the better you'll get at your job. If you follow this key many opportunities will open up to you or come your way and the harder you work to achieve what you want you'll get it, the harder you work the better you'll be at doing your job it will be easier for you to do and you wouldn't even feel like if you've been doing your work for so long because you know what you're doing, you know how you're suppose to be doing your job so your job will be easier for you and it will give you many opportunities throughout your life that will even maybe help you throughout your life as well.

Key 3: Concentration 
"Make the best use of your time. Ask yourself "Is this the best use of my time?" before you start anything.

What this is saying is that you need to use and keep track of your time wisely. Some people don't keep track of time and lose track of it and they may be late to another event or place they needed to attend at a certain time. When you are going to do one thing you need to see and think, before you do it if you have the time or if you are able to finish on time  before you even start doing what you're going to do. In life you're always gonna be late, be on time, or be absent. If you are able to keep track of your time and are able to use your time wisely then there's a chance that you'll not be late to an event, place, and appointment you need to be in. Most people when they use their time wisely they are able to get even more stuff done because they are using their time wisely and they are keeping track of their time. When you use your time wisely you feel relaxed and relieved because you know that you're going to finish on time and you are going to be there on time. When you don't use your time wisely or keep track of your time then you are going to be stressed and overwhelmed because you don't have enough time to do everything you thought you were going to be able to do but you only end up doing one thing out of all the things you had plan and the places you needed to be because you did not have concentration of what you were doing and didn't keep notion of your time. This is why key 3 is important because you need to be able to use your time wisely to do the other things you need to do.

Key 4: Common Sense 

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

This is saying that when you do things you need to have common sense. Like when you're going to say something you need to think it through before you say it because it can come out wrong or when you're saying it to someone they can take it the wrong way and get mad. You need to train your mind to do good things and do them in the right time, because if you do good things in bad times it won't look good because its not the right time to be doing that. When you do something wrong without common sense then you can learn from it and know that you 're not suppose to do that anymore. Sometimes you have to learn from your mistakes so that you know not to do it again and you won't  go through it again. When you are going to do something you need to have common sense because when you dont do it then you might look stupid doing or saying something.

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."

What this is saying is that no matter how the person acts every human being is smart in their own way. It's saying that by asking questions is a way of being creative, which means you don't have to know how to draw, color, write etc etc just to be creative, yes those are ways you can be creative in but there can also be some other ways in being creative like you can be creative in music, art, dancing and so much more. When you ask a lot of questions you are creative because you want to know hope things work or why you got that answer or can you solve that problem or fix that object, your mind just wants to know everything and maybe while you're asking those questions you're probably coming up with ideas or thinking about how you can do it or solve it yourself. There's always that one person in all of your classes that asks the most questions yes they can be annoying at times but they have their reasons to ask their questions.They might be asking a lot of questions because they don't understand and they just want to know how to do it.

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."

This is saying that the way you act with people, which is your relationship with that person then it'll determine your success because if you have issues with that person then that can affect your your success in the future because let's say you and that person stop talking because something happened between the both of you so when you guys stopped talking you guys probably went your own way and started to do your own thing, say that a few years have passed and you guys probably forgot about one another but one day you suddenly  see them and they see you and both of you just stay looking at each other and you both look away at the same time and then leave, you'll probably start thinking everything that happened between the both of you guys and it will affect your success because you were probably doing fine and had forgotten everything and left it all behind but you suddenly see this person again and it ruins your success that you have accomplished already. You also need to make sure that you know how to communicate with other people and you are able to listen to them.

Key 7: Consistency 
" Dependable, steady predictable work is always superior to fst 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....." 


What this is saying is that you need to be consistent of what you're doing and who you're with. I think consistent is like being responsible because when you're responsible people rely on you and they trust you because they know you will get the job done and you won't let them down. Lets say that one of your family members ask you to babysit one of their kids whether it be a cousin nephew etc but they are asking you to baby sit because they trust you and they know you will do it because you have consistency, also because they know you are responsible and will take good care of their kids. To have good consistency with your friends you need to have communication with them.


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." 


Key 8 is saying that you need to commit yourself to the things you are going to do. When you commit yourself to something you will achieve your success. Commitment is a big responsibility when you commit to something or someone you have to accomplish your commitment. A commitment is like a promise when you promise something you have to keep your promise and do it because you gave your word and sometimes your word can define who you are when you give your word and do it then people can see that you are responsible because you kept your word, but when you say you're going to do it but don't do it at the end then people will see that you  are not responsible, and that you are a liar and that you are not a reliable person.  When people see that you are responsible and a committing person there is a chance that they will relay on you when they need something because they know they can count on you.

Key 9: Courage 
" The fear of failure is the single greatest reason for failure in life." 

This is saying that if you feel like you're going to fail then you might end up failing because you have fear. Don't let fear hold you back into doing your things. Yeah your fear will get in the way but you need to overcome that fear by thinking you could do it.  You need to have courage when you are going to do things because when you have fear, things don't go so good.  Lets say you have fear of heights and one of your friends tells you to go skydiving or go to this one tall building to see this great view or to get on a rollercoaster with them, you need to have courage to do that because who knows maybe that will help you get over your fear of heights and maybe you might even like doing all of those things now, you can't let fear take over you because it will lead you to failure at some point. Fear can be good at a point but most of the time it could be bad. Fear is something natural we have whether it be fear of heights, spiders, dogs etc.


Key 10: Confidence
" You only get confidence by doing things over and over again" 

What this is saying is that when you don't have enough confidence you need to do those things more often. Like when people don't wear what they want to wear because they don't have enough confidence.. Some people that feel like that end up wearing what they want to wear because they end up gaining a little bit of confident and end up wearing their outfit, then you'll see that eventually they'll get more and more confidence and will start wearing other things and when you least expected it they'll have a lot more confident. I feel like the more you do things out your comfort zone the more confidence you gain and you don't worry about nothing.


Reflection:
1) How can they benefit you? 
2)Which keys are you applying now, and what difference are they making in your life?
3)How will you incorporate the other keys in your life planning plans? 

They can benefit me by helping me shape myself as a better person. They can help me make good decisions later on in life. One key that i have applied now is common sense, it's making a difference in my life by making me think things through before i say them and before i do them. Before i would just say and do things now i think of what i'm going to do or what i'm going to say because i don't want to say anything offensive or that can be taken in an offensive way. It is also helping me by realizing other things and making me learn back from things i did in the past.. I will incorporate the other keys into my life planning plans by making sure i apply one key at least once throughout my day.

Video Reflection

What i learned about this video was that some people focus more on their personality than their character. They think their personality is more important than their character like they'll work more their personality and will ignore their character which i see no point in ignoring your character because your character is what builds your personality you can say, your character also defines you as a person because it is the way you behave and talk. Like Covey said in the video he described

Free Lance Post

Some of the six ways for people to like i am smiling more often, I'm trying to get to know the person i meet before so i won't be waiting for them to get to know so they can like me. Changing the subject what i did on friday and on the weekend was that friday all i did was go to school get home sleep for a bit and then go out with my friend. On Saturday i got up early in the morning got ready and came to school for softball try outs but when i got to school they told me softball try outs were canceled and i was sad because i really want to practice and try out, after i found out try outs were canceled i went back home and waited for my mom and dad to get ready because i had a dentist appointment at 2:00 and we had to get there before to check in. We got to the dentist checked in and i waited for them to call me in. When they called me in i was nervous because i didn't want them to do anything because i didn't want to get anesthesia.Once they got everything ready they put anesthesia on my left bottom lip and then the dentist checked if my lip and gum was numb so he asked me if i could feel pain when he would touch my tooth  and i said yes, so he said okay and put more anesthesia on my lip, after he did that he started right away and started the process of the root canal. I thought it was going to hurt and take long to do but it didn't hurt and it was really fast it probably lasted like 20-25 minutes. After i got out of the dentist i went home and rested because i was in a little bit of pain. On Sunday i went to my grandparents house and have a family meal with my parents, grandparents, uncle, aunt and her husband.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Habit 1" Be Proactive
"Habit 1 is the key to unlocking all the other habits and that's why it comes first. It says, " I am the captain of my life.I can choose my attitude.I'm responsible for my own happiness or unhappiness. I am in the driver's seat of my destiny, not just a passenger.

What this means is that you are the person that controls your life and no one can control it. You are the person that makes your own decisions. You need to be positive about all the things you do or say, many people are negative about themselves and it puts them down so they become lazy and don't feel like doing anything. You need to be proactive so people can see that you're an enthusiastic person and you are willing to do anything. When people see that in you they might ask you what you like doing, what do you do to be an energetic person etc. Being proactive can be good when you have a job because when you are doing you are doing your job the right way and with such a happy feeling and a positive attitude then you might even get promoted to a better position at your job with a better pay. You decide what you want to do with your life, you need to be responsible of your actions because you are the person that controls your attitude and your actions. The attitude you have everyday whether it be sad,mad,happy,overwhelmed, 
  
Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind  
"Control your own destiny or someone else will."( Jack Welch)
"When you know where you intend to end up, you know where you are now."(Covey)
I think this means that you need to know where you want to start in your life like what do you want to do today and what you want to do the other days. If you don't control your destiny like what you want to do with your life then someone else will take advantage of you because you still don't know what you want to do with your life so they will "control" your destiny and what you want to do with you're life they'll make decisions for you even if you like them or don't. When you now what you're going to do with you life and you have a plan and a goal to reach then you will know what you need and where you stand now because you already have a plan and a goal in mind for your future.When other people control your future it gets boring because you can't say anything or make your own choices because you really don't know what you want to do with your life . For example some of the people that can control your destiny can be you're parents because they can see that you aren't worrying about your future and can see that you don't have a plan or goal in mind. I don't think anyone would like other people to be controling their destiny or future or what htey do in life. I know i wouldn't want my parents or anybody else to cotrol my life or decide my career in life, what happens if i want to be something else but my parents are controling my destiny so they have another plan for my life in mind and they just tell me what the career they want me to be and all i would have to do is see what calsses i would need to take and other things i would need to do so i can  

Habit 3: Put First Things First 
" Organize and execute around priorities." 

What this means is that you should put all of your priorities first like for example if you have to do a lot of homework, chores, work etc but you want to go out later with your friends or just want to go out in general then you need to put all of those things first and you need to finish them first before you can go out and do the things you want to do later on. Some people go out first and then do their responsibilities, when they do that then they get used to it and start doing things like that they shouldn't go out and have fun first they should put their responsibilities first to get them out the way and then they can be able to go out with their friends and have fun and not worry about doing anything while you're out with your friends having fun. When you put things first and you do them then you will have spare time and you will be able to do a lot of things you want to do and you won't have to worry about doing anything later on because you already did all of your responsibilities. The people that don't put their responsibilities first and do other things then they will leave all their responsibilities to last minute and will be rushing everything all because     

Habit 4: Think Win-Win
" Think win-win or no deal"











Habit 5: Seek First to understand, then to be understood. 

"diagnose before you prescribe"
This is saying that you should be able to understand things first and then you should be able to explain things with being able to be understood. When you are able to understand things when they are given to you with instructions or directions and you are able to understand them, then that means you are able to explain to others and they are able to understand you. When you don't understand what is being said to you then you aren't going to be able to explain to others and be understood instead you are just going to confuse yourself and the others. In order to be understood you need to talk and explain things clearly, need to talk slowly or at a medium pace, you need to have eye contact and physical movement. Some people are visual learners others are listening learners and some can be both so you will need to do and say whatever it takes for you to be understand when you aren't able to explain yourself then you won't be able to be understood.If someone were to ask you " what are we supposed to do?" because that person wasn't paying attention to the teacher's directions then you tell them what the assignment was and what we need to do but you yourself didn't even understand what the teacher said then that person won't be able to understand you because you aren't clear on what you are explaining.On the other hand the other student that was paying attention explains to you  what you need to be doing and you are able to understand him because he spoke clearly and he understood the teacher's directions.It's like when you are presenting a presentation at a meeting and while you are presenting, your co-workers or fellow classmates don't understand your presentation because you aren't being clear and you're talking way too fast and you aren't giving them you full attention so that you can see if they understand or not. 

Habit 6: Synergize
" The whole is greater than the sum of its parts (1+1=3)" 
What this means is that the whole is better that the small parts that make that whole. Like when you're building a shelf, chair, table etc the final product is better than the small parts that made up that piece of furniture. At the end you will get a better product. Its like saying the person you are is better than the little things you do in your life so you can be that person. If you're in a group project or in a meeting and there's like 8 of you guys then it'll be better for all 8 of you to work together because you will end up with a better result like you will get a good score on your project because you all worked as a team than individual and said you guys worked as a team when you can see that the small parts clearly state that you guys did not work as a team, but when you're in a meeting it'll be easier for you guys to make a decision or to come up with a better plan than the plan you had before. I think this means to either work as a team or don't work at all because the little things other people might ruin what you did and as a whole you will not look so good. I also think it means that you have to work things out little by little to get what you want and as end result to get a greater whole.

The Four Dimensions of self-renewal: Physical, Mental,Spiritual, Social/Emotional











Reflection: Write an overall final reflection in this post regarding " The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People." Include your deepest thoughts and feelings. Write what you commit to do to continue applying the seven habits.
 What i think about the 7 habits is that each one can help you throughout your life when you least expected. I think the 7 habits are good because they can make you a better person like for example you habit number 3 can make you become a better,organized and responsible person because you will do the most important things first then putting them aside and leaving it to last minute. This will help you in your life if you make this one of your habits because when you apply habit number 3 into your daily life your life will be easier because you won't procrastinate and wait till the last minute to do it. I will apply these habits in my daily life because they are helpful and can make me become a better person throughout my life. What i think that will help me keep track if i'm 

This weekened for me was busy because on Saturday i got new furniture for my room, i got a new bed, dresser and closet. In order for me to build my new furniture i had to clean my room so i had to wake up early in the morning to clean my room so my dad and i were able to build my new furniture. later on that day me and my dad started to build my new bed and make space to put my new bed in. After we finished building that i had to go to my friend's house to work on a spanish project that we need to do because it was due the upcoming week. On sunday i had to wake up early in the morning because i went to a concert with my friend and we had to go early because they started letting people in at 9 in the morning. So we had to get up early and get ready becuase it was like an hour drive. Atfer we arrived to the concert place we had to make like for like 45 mins to an hour as soon as they let us in we ran to the stage to get a good view of the concert. We stood to watch the concert for like 5 hours

How To Remeber Names 

• You can ask for their name and then ask if they have a nickname or another name they go by. 
• you can try and come up with a nickname for them
• see if you have common things with that person and maybe you can remeber their name by the things you have in common with them.
• 
  

How to Win Friends and Influence People 

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

When you influence people you want to make sure you are a good influence to them because you don't want to be a bad influenece to someone and have a bad reputation. You want to make sure you have a good reputation and you are influencing or mentoring the person right becaus eif you don't they'll end up being a bad person or doing bad things in their life which will not be good they'll probably blame you for infulencing them or mentoring in that way and will say that you were a bad mentor. When you make you new friends you want to make sure you are interested because then you won't like how they are or how they act so you need to be interested. When you make new friends you are welcomed anywhere because you are friendly and they will accept you anywhere because you are always making friends and you are nice to people and you treat them with respect and you are outgoing as well.  

Rule 2: Smile
1)" Actions speak louder than words, and a smile says," i like you. You make me happy. I'm glad to see you." 
2)" You don't feel like smiling? Then force yourself to smile." 
3)" It creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in a business, and is the countersign(witness or identification)of friends." 

What this is saying is that no matter what happens you should always smile. What ever you're going through you should always smile because when people see you smile then they start smiling and they can see you are in a good mood and that you're a positive person. Even when you're sad you should always be smiling because it can put you in a good mood. I feel like when a person smiles it puts me in a good mood and it makes me feel happy because i see that the other person is happy and a smile can brighten up my day or anyone else's day. A smile can say so many different things and can tell some one a lot about you, your smile can attract others to the room because they can see it is a happy environment and that it can bring positivity in their life. When you smile even when its not the right time for you to smile in your life you can still feel positive about the situation and make others think the same thing.   

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

What this means is that it is good when you remember someone's name because you never know when you're going to see that person again. For example let's say you meet someone new like their your friends friend and you ask for their name and then later on you bump into them at the mall or at the store or at school and then you see them and you forgot their names but they remember yours so now you're 

Rule 4: Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.
 1)" If you aspire to be a good conversationalist, be an attentive listener."
 2) " Remember that the man you are talking to is a hundred times more interested in himself and in his wants and his problems than he is in you and your problems." 

What this means is that when you start a conversation you need to be a good listener because you never know when they can ask you questions about the conversation and you won't know what to say or give an answer because you weren't paying attention 


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." 
 What this means is that when you talk to some one you should talk to them about what they want to achieve in life what are their goals and what they care about the most and maybe you guys will have things in common. When you ask them what they care about the most you can learn something new everyday and be surprised on what they tell you. Maybe they can tell you that what they care about the most is their dog and you can be confused on think why would they care a lot about their dog? but then you ask and then they tell you why and then you can see why they care a lot about their dog then they can ask you what you care about the most or what do you treasure the most then you tell them something and they can be shocked as well. When you ask them on what they treasure they can see that you really care about them so they will start talking to you even more. 

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

This means that if you make the other person feel important do it out of the good from your heart and not just because you want them to feel special or because someone told you to make that person feel special. When you make someone feel special you can make them feel happy or you can make them smile. You can put other people in a goood mood when you make the other person feel special. The person you make feel special can be in a good mood and feel good about themselves for the whole day, they might be having a really bad day and they tell you all about it and then you decide to make them feel special because you start thinking that they could really use someone at the moment so you start comforting them and you start giving them advice and start talking to them to make them feel better. When you make someone feel special you put them in a good mood and you can even put yourself in a good mood. You make the person feel appreciated and it makes the person feel good about themselves. Many people don't care about how other people feel so they don't make others feel appreciated and it makes others feel bad about themselves because they feel like their not wanted in their group or in the area. When people dont appreciate other people it makes other people feel bad because they think they might not be good enough for those people or they might think they might not fit in the group. 

Final Reflection: Write an overall final reflection in this post regarding the "six ways to make people like you". Include your deepest thoughts and feelings. Write what you commit to do to apply the six rules.

What i think i can do to apply "the six ways to make people like you" is to apply these six rules in different situations in your life. Like if you were to use the first rule you would apply it when you move to a new area or go to a new place. You can meet new people and find what they are interested in than for you to wait until they find something interesting about you that will take longer to find because some people don't really pay attention to the interesting things you do or say. When you find something interesting about a person you can become good friends. Also you would be able to apply rule #2 when a friend,family member, or a neighbor is having a bad day and you don't like seeing them like that so you try making them smile and try to make them happy. A smile can mean so many different things. When a person smiles it can make another person happy or it can make another person's day. These six rules mean it can help you become a better person throughout your life and can bring you many positive things and positive people in your life that will motivate you to do better.

Im looking foward to getting my physical done through out the week because im excited to try out for softball again. i am nervous to try out for softball again just becasue i feel like im not ready to be put into varsity which i probably won't make the team with just one year of expierence. In order for me to be put in varsity i need to be practing everyday and joing season leagues so i cna get better and get the hang of the game and how to play. I'm also excited to try out because my friends are trying and most of my friends keep telling me taht i should try out and keep playing softball but i always say no i don't think so because im really self concious because i know that i have trouble playing and understanding the game but they motivate me to keep on trying and that's what im doing i'm going to try out again and keep on practicing so i can get better and better and stop being self consious of my self. I am also going to try to maintain my grades good becasue so far i have really good grades and before i woldn't really have good grades so this year im going to try to maintain my grades like that and if they go down i will bring them up even if i have to do double the work, extra credit, stay for tutoring and etc.

" BLACK LIVES MATTER" 
This is important because they are getting treated poorly and end up getting killed for no reason. Some cops don't have a heart and just kill them instead of them finding out what actually happened they just kill them and that isn't right we all have freedom of speech and the police

Last weekened was a good weekened because i went to my friends sweet 16. I was excited to go to her party because she is an old friend that i met in middle school and up to this day we are really close friends so i was really excited to see her because i really don't see her and my other friend from middlie school that often so i was excited to see both of them that day. The day came and i finally saw both of them i had such a good time seeing both of them and celebrating her 16 with both of them. I'm happy for this week/ weekened because i will plan things out with my friends so we ca go out and hang out and it is also my friends birthday on friday and i hope i can see her that day, i'm excited for the weekened because its my cousins 15 and i can't wait to go and celebreate it with my family that i don't see often. I'm hoping this weekened will be good like last weekened although last weekened wasn't that good because one of my really close friends left to mexico and i really missed him but i am happy now that he came back already so i get to see him somewhat this week. 

" The Six Attitudes of High Achievers" 

--John R. Noe-- 

 

                                                  1. Make no small plans : 

 What this means is that don't make small plans when you can make big plans. In the world you have to be open minded and out going. You have to make things big and unique don't be those basic people that do the same thing as others. You need to be out going so people can know who you are and can have a unique way in remembering who you are. When you plan soemthing you have to go all out no matter what it is that your planning, if its aparty you need to think outside the box and out do it you need plan.

2. Do What They Fear : What this is saying is that you need to like overcome your fear. When you overcome your fear you become a better person. If you over come your fear it helps you do more scary or risky things in your life. You can somehow be able to succed when you over come your fear also you can help people overcome their fears if they have any. You can even ovecome other people's fear. If you like want to get back at someone you usually want to get back at them with their fear so you can see them scared and see them suffer.   
 3. Are willing to prepare :
For this attitude you have to set your mind to prepare yourself. To prepare yourself you need to set a mind a goal and make sure you achieve it little by little everday, you need to write it down in a journal on your phone or something that you look at daily so you can remeber to achieve it daily.in order for you to have a good successful future you have to prepare yourself in order for that to happen. When you're prepared you are ready for anything because you'll know what to do in the situation. If and when you prepare yourself in education it will pay off because you'll have what you didn't have when you were a little kid or when you have your own family they will be grateful and they'll have what they want because y ou prepared yourself for your future and you won't have to go through embarassments or sacrifices for you to give them what they want becasue you'll have a good job with a good pay because you made an effort and a struggle.
4. Are willing to risk failure : 
This attitude means that even though you know you're going to fail you'll still do it. Like for example if you have a test and you know you're going to fail but you'll still take it because you'll get some points and still fail but you already knew you were going fail but you still took the risk and see if you maybe would've had the chance to pass it. When you're willing to risk failure it is not always bad it can be good sometimes because when you fail then you can see what you did wrong and what you can do better for next time that you try. When you risk failure isn't bad if you do it once in while but when you risk failure like everyday then that is bad because you're doing it everyday and it is becoming a bad habit in your life. Therefore you need to start making changes in your life because it is not benefitting you in any way. When you start failing everday you can even end up getting sick like you can enter the depression stage which is bad for you health because 

5. Are teachable :
When you are teachable you can succeed because you can teach other how to be successful or how to achieve their goals. Once you teach this person or maybe even a community they will say good things about you and they can see that you can be a good mentor for other people. People will see the potential you have as a person and may ask you to be a mentor for school or their community, some can ask you if you are able to mentor their kids or someone they know that is in need of someone helping them with their life or goals. Mentoring can even help you in a way because when you mentor someone you tell them things or try new things with them. Like for example when i "mentor" my neighbors i tell him and her things like "if you ever need help in your school work ask for help ask the teachers for help don't give up because then when you get older you'll regret not asking for help because i know that when i was your age i wouldn't ask for help becasue i was really shy, it deosn't matter if you are or not ask for help." i also tell my neighbors that are in middle school or a freshman in high school to alwasy do their work and not to slack off because at the end you'll regret it because if you slack off and to get your act together then you'll be sasd that you won't be able to graduate at the end. 

6. Have Heart : 

 When you have a heart it means you care about others. having a heart is a good thing because it shows you have a good attitude because if something happened to your friend,family or loved ones you would care because you have a heart and you will go and see if everything is okay with them. Having a good heart can be helpful for example at your job like if you're a doctor and someone is sick, performing a surgery on someone, or having to give bad news to family memebers that they just lost a loved can be emotional seeing the family grief over their loved one. Having a heart at that time can be helpful because when you say things to that family or any family of any patient in general they can say that you really meant " i'm sorry for your lose i did everything i could to save him/her." and they will thank you for trying and doing your job unlike some doctors that don't really care and will just tell you like they don't care but i mean i get that they can't feel anything becasue its not their family member or loved one but they should at leaset have a heart because that family is going through a really tough time and maybe they should think that what if that was them in that family's place  like they would be hurt they would sart crying and saying all kinds of mean things to the doctor that didn't really try to help the patient. Having a good heart isn't always good because when people see that you have a good heart they will take advantage of you and do things to you. 

Final Reflection: 
The 6 attitude of high achievers is a good thing in life because it can help you shape your life and make you do good things. To make this part of your daily life you can do little things that can relate to the 6 attitude of high achievers. For example you can be willing to prepare later on for your life you can do small things or take small steps for you to prepare in your life like going to school seeing what you want to be doing in the future where do you want to be in the future basically seeing your future amd planning out what you want your future to be like.Also you can make part of your life from the 6 attitudes of higher achievers is having a heart. When you have a heart it can help you in so many different ways because people can see that you care about them so they'll care about you and treat you nice. When you teach someone something 

Ways to be

      9 ways to be happy and make something of your life.

1. Be Grateful

Being grateful is important because you're taking the time to appreciate what you have in life. You can be grateful by writing down in a journal, small notebook, or diary. You can write down all the things your grateful in life like the things you have had to the things you have now. When you write down all the things you are grateful you will realize the things you've had in life and can see that you either had a good life or a bad life or an okay life.

2. Be Smart
     Being smart can be another way of making something of your life by making the right decisions. When you make the right decisions throughout your life good things will come. If you're smart and know what you're doing life might be easier because you know the consequences to the bad things that are out there and if you are smart enough to think before you do something bad. Being smart can be good in many different ways because new opportunities can come up new doors of your life can open to have a better life, career, a place to live etc. If you are smart and conscious of the decisions you through out your life, your life won't be that bad for example if you are planning to have a family in the near future you can think about what you want your future to look like, if you plan on having kids and settling in then you need to be smart of your decisions you make in life so your kids won't have a bad life or you don't want them to have a life like you because you might've had a bad childhood growing up, you might've had struggles or problems growing up as a kid. When you think smart about your future good things could happen to you or good things can come without you even planning it. Being smart can give you a  good image of yourself to other people if you say something or help someone in something those people that you helped will be thankful and will give good and nice comments about you, like if someone asks who is he/she they will say " he is a nice guy he is very smart, respectful, responsible etc." or they can say " she is a hardworking lady, she likes to help people, she's really nice, she's polite etc." You can help other people like if your good at a school subject for example English then you can tutor someone that has trouble with English and you can help them comprehend it more.

3. Be Involved in Good Works.
  When your involved in good works it can benefit you. Like when you do your work in a class for  school you are doing something good because you are doing your work and that will benefit you by getting a good grade in that class, Another good involved work is when you hang out with the right people you choose the right friends to be with because when you hang out with the wrong people they can influence you to do bad things, but when you hang out with good people they can encourage you to do the right thing. For example, you need to study for your final because its a pass or fail final but you decide not to study and go out with your friends that aren't studying as well because they don't care about their grade those friends are making you make bad choices because they are telling you not to study and your going to fail the class. If you hang out with good friends then they will tell you to study for your final because you need to pass that class, maybe they might even tell you to form a study group with them and other friends, some may help you to study as well but they will encourage you to do good in life and make good choices throughout your life. The day of that test if you hung out with bad people and didn't study you're going to guess on every single question because you don't know anything because you didn't study, but if you hung out with the right people that day then you will pass that test because you stayed up all night studying with your group of friends that encourage you to pass the class and made you study for that test.  

4. Be Clean 
 Some things you can help be clean is your environment like when your walking around your neighborhood and you see a piece of trash on the floor you can pick it up and dispose it in the trash. Another example is you keeping your room clean like having a chart or calendar by reminding you of what chore to do every day so your room can be clean most of the time.  You can also volunteer at community centers that help out the community. Being clean can make you a happy person by it keeping you organized with your things for example, like if you live in your own apartment you can have everything organized  to remember where you keep your thongs and you won't loose them. Even when you have a car you can keep that clean so you could feel good about yourself when you drive just like your personal hygiene it can say a lot about you like people will think you are a clean and organized person.

5. Be True 
 When you are true to yourself then that is good because you're not lying to yourself. For example if you are at school and you know that you need to turn in an assignment for a class and you tell yourself i'll do it later and the assignment is worth 50 pts and you procrastinate into doing the assignment and you keep telling yourself " i'm going to do it later" when you're not then you're lying to yourself by telling yourself you're going to do it later. You can also be true to other people like your friends you need to be true to your friends you want to keep that friendship. When you're not true to that friend they get mad and sad because they thought you were a nice person and a trustworthy person but then they see that you turn out being fake to them and they get mad and start saying you weren't/aren't a real friend because of what you did to them. That shows them that you weren't being true to them and they can see that you're not of a good person. Being true to other people around you can be good because you can make good friends and you gain trust because they can see that you're truthful,trustworthy, and responsible. When people see this in you good things can come to you or be said about you. Another example is when you're applying for a job or getting interviewed they can see that you are committed and that everything you are saying is true and that is a good quality for them to hire you or for them to at least think about giving you the job. Most people when they aren't trustworthy they don't get a lot of stuff told because they will go and tell other people that don't need to know.

6.Positive
When you're positive it makes you feel like a good person.You're always happy and helping people. When you spread positivity in communities it helps them be a better community some even change. People should really spread positivity to more places because it decreases all the hate there is in this world. When you're a positive person you feel good about yourself you feel more energized you can even feel more healthy in your life becasue you're not stressing yourself out you're not depressed , and you're not in a bad place. If people were to spread more positivity the world would be so much better there wouldn't be so much hate, it would lessen up the chances of like violence, bombings, and negativity around the world.

7. Be Humble
When you're a humble person you're nice, respectful, caring and etc. Most people aren't humble these days there're rarely any. Now a Days many people don't care if you're respectful, if you're nice and etc. Some people that are humble can be treated good by some people and there are some people that treat humble people poorly. Being humble can be a good quality in your life because there are going to be times where you're going to need to be a humble person, but if you're not a humble person and you don't care and then suddenly you need to be a humble person and you try acting like one but you can't because you never really were a humble person. Some people are taught to be humble at a young age and they grow up that way, there are others that see other people being humble and they decide to be like them because they see the way their being treated and they think and say they want to be treated like them so they change and start acting humble. Being humble isn't a bad thing it is a good thing well at least i see it as a good thing because the way you act describes a lot and can give people either a bad or good idea of the person you are so basically what i'm saying is that it can give people an image of you.

8. Be Still
Being still means like to relax and clear your mind. It is good when you're still because you are being patient and when your patient a lot of good things may come to you. Being patient can play a big role in your life because lets say for example there's a sale going on and you're not patient to get what you want to get then you're not going to get it or you're not even going to try to get it because you're not patient what so ever. Also lets say your a teacher and your its your first day of teaching your class and you see how the students behave and act then you go off on the students because you have no patients so that can cause you to lose your job. Clearing out your mind is good also because your mind is empty and you're not worrying about anythong that is going on in your life your relaxing and not worrying about your problems or the things you have to do. Basically its like your meditating and not worrying about anything or you're clearing out your mind to get rid of some stress you have in your life and it can helpyou with your health .

Final Reflection: 
 I think that these 9 ways can help you throughout your life in so many ways. They can help throughout your life because you can use them in different situations and different timings. Lets say that you have a job interview so you would have to use one of the nine ways which is to be positive for this you have to be positive because you're getting interviewed and you need to think that you may get the job or that you're going to get the job so in order for that to happen you ned to be positive.


" There they are, nine Be's which, if observed, will bring handsome dividends to any young man or woman. They will add sparkle to your days and peace to your nights. They will save you from heartache and pain. they will bring you purpose into your life and give direction to your energies.
  They will bring you friends of your own kind. They will protect you from associations that would pull down and deflect you from your course.
   This time to be happy. This time to feel joy and make friends and enjoy the best this life has to offer. What i have tried to put fourth... are simply a few suggestions, gained from many years of living, to help you do just that. The world will tell that certain kinds of things well you happiness- things such as popularity and possessions and satisfying your baser desires. 

          If today you find yourself only drifting  as a leaf in a stream, get hold of yourself and determine you will do better.At railroad grade crossing, signs of warning were once common. Two cross arms were emblazoned with the words, " stop, look, listen."  They meant that a train could be roaring down the tracks and you had better be alert.
I was riding a train the the midwest years ago. I looked out the window to my left. A road parallel to the tracks. A car with a boy and a girl was speeding down the road a little faster than the train. The car moved ahead until i can no longer see it. Suddenly, the locomotive whistle sounded the train screeched to a halt as the brakes gripped the wheels. We looked out the window on to the other side. There was a mangled car. Police cars soon converged, followed by the ambulance. The boy and girl were both dead. The road they were traveling crossed the tracks. They did not stop, look, or listen. It all happened in an instant. The better way to be is the way of those nine B's

 The years will inevitably pass, and pass quickly. Today is your day of resolution. Promise yourself to make something good of (you) precious life "
