The 10 Keys

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."
Reflection: This is trying to say that we all need goals in life. We all need to find something that we like doing. We need to set goals and accomplish them even if it takes time to actually accomplish the goals we have for ourselves. "Clarity affords focus." Focus on what you need to and get things done no matter what it takes and no matter how long it takes.

Key:2 Competence 
If you commit to excellence, opportunities will always come your way. The harder you work, the better you get."
Reflection: Work hard to get to where you want to be in life. We all have to work hard and accomplish our goals in life.Commit to something and work hard to get to where you want to. Accomplish all your life goals you have. Set goals and achieve them. I have no idols. I admire work, dedication and competence. Ayrton Senna Work hard and you will get to where you want to be. 


Key 3: Concentration 
"Make the best of your time. Ask yourself "Is this the best use of my time?" before you start anything."
Reflection: Always concentrate on what you need to concentrate on. Get you things done. Your goals concentrate on them and achieve them. Concentrate on things that are important to you. Always make the best of your time. "What does it take to be a champion? Desire, dedication, determination, concentration and the will to win." Patty Berg  Focus on important things. 

Key 4: Common Sense 

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

Reflection: Common Sense is good sense and sound judgment in practical matters. "It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something." Franklin D. Roosevelt  Always have common sense about everything you do. Think about what you are going to do twice before doing 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." 

Key 6: consideration 
"The quality of your relationships with other people will determine your success in life." 
"Develop the people skills you need to 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."
Reflection: This means that think before you do something or say something. Communicate better with people  be a better person. Do what you know is best for you  “Intensely selfish people are always very decided as to what they wish. They do not waste their energies in considering the good of others.” Ouida, Wanda, Countess von Szalras.

Key 7: Consistency 
"Dependable, steady predictable work is always superior to fast apurts of work." 

Be consistent in your relationship, 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.."  

Reflection: Consistency is conformity in the application of something, typically that which is necessary for the sake of logic, accuracy, or fairness. "One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest." -Maya Angelou


Key 8: Commitment 
"No success is possible without commitment. The ability to commitment to yourself whole heartily is the basis of achieving all success." 
"Become totally absorbed in your work. Be totally committed."   
Reflection: Be committed to something you love doing. Stay committed to things you love doing. Set goals and stay committed to them accomplish them and make new ones everyday. I feel like if you actually stay committed to something then the thing you want will happen sooner or later.   


Key 9: Courage 
"The fear of failure is the single greatest reason for failure in life." 
Reflection: courage is the ability to do something that frightens one. I think that everyone should go for what they want. Everyone should set goals and accomplish them even if it takes you time. "You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.'" Eleanor Roosevelt Have courage to get things done that need to be done. 


Key:10 Confidence 
"You only get confidence by doing things over and over again." 
Reflection: Always be confident with yourself and everything you do. If you aren't confident do thing over and over again to get confident with things or yourself. "Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy." Norman Vincent Peale Which means that you should believe in yourself in whatever you choose to decide. Be you and be confident about things. 






Reflection: These 10 keys can benefit you in many ways if you actually work on them in your life. They can help you by being a better person and how to be with when you are around other people. The key i am applying right now is confidence. To me i think that confidence takes time people wont be confident right away. I believe that once someone is confident they will always be confident about many things but some things take time and i think that all you need is time for everything. I am Working on my confidence every day so i can become confident about myself and everything i do.

Three Fundamental Techniques in Handling People

 Dale Carnegie 

Technique 1: Don't criticize, condemn or complain.

“If you want to gather honey, don’t kick over the beehive.”

Reflection: Don't go and criticize others if they talk to you about their problems just listen or even if you see others do something bad just let them do what they want. We should all just worry about ourselves and focus on ourselves nobody else. Only person who's going to be there for you is you.  


Technique 2: Give honest and sincere appreciation
"The big secret in dealing with people"

Reflection: I think this means that the way to deal with people is to just be honest all the time and sincere. We should always be honest to everybody and about everything. Should always be good and truthful with everybody. Always showing or suggesting a good and truthful character with everyone you are around. 

Technique 3: Arouse in the other person an eager want.
"He who can do this has the whole world with him. He who cannot, walks a lonely way." 

Reflection:  It means that you want to get people motivated, keep them motivated, and spur them on. Motivate others to do better and to be better. Also motivate yourself 

Final Reflection: I've learned that you shouldn't have to criticize others for what they tell you if they go to you to talk or condemn or complain. Also give honesty and sincere appreciation. Always be honest with everyone and everything. Be sincere and appreciate. These three ways can actually help if you actually do what you have to do. 

School Break Days

School Break Days

What I did during break was basically just stay home I really didn't do anything. All I really did was watch Criminal Minds and Law & Order. On Christmas Eve and Christmas i spent it with my family. I went to the dentist and found out i get my braces on my next appointment. For my friends birthday we went to city walk and watched the movie "Forest".  I also spent some time with my cousins at their house. i liked our break because i got to stay home and sleep in and get some rest. I also didn't have any homework to do over the break. My break was great in my opinion. I would also sleep very late some days and wake up late I liked it because I knew I didn't have to worry about waking up early. 

How to Win Friends and Influence People

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

Rule 1: Become genuinely interested in other people.  

Reflection: If you do this you are going to be welcomed anywhere you go to. By you being interested in other people you get to learn more about them and they get to know more about you. You can ask them questions that they would like to answer. Let others know that they are welcomed any time they want to go over. Do this so that others can see how you really are. Be genuinely with everyone you meet at first. "The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life." This quote means that you just have to be genuinely interested in every little thing in life.  

Rule 2: Smile 

1) "Actions speak louder than words, and a smile says, "I like you. You make me happy. I am 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 indication) of friends."

Reflection: This is saying that no matter what we always have to smile. If you smile you can make others smile as well. Smiling makes others around you want to smile because they see you smile. If they see you smile and they don't smile because something is wrong make them smile and make them forget the problem they are going through. "A smile is the light in your window that tells others that there is a caring, sharing person inside." This means that when people see you smile it means that you care. You should always let people know that you care and make them smile. 

Rule 3: Remember names 
1) "A man's name is to him the sweetest and most important sound in any language."
2) "If you don't remember names, you are headed for trouble." 
Reflection: You have to remember names so you can be able to keep on communicating with others. By remembering names you get to still keep in touch with others. It is important to remember other peoples names because its better to call others by their name and not "hey you." To me it is respect to call others by name. When you don't remember other peoples name it can show that you are not interested.
How to Remember Names  
Repeat the name       Spell it out 
Seeing faces             Write it down 
Give full attention     Make an association 

Rule 4: Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.
"If you aspire to be 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 an your problems." 
Active listening 
1.Stay focus 2. Really listen  3. Allow periods of silence 4. Repeat the other person's words 5. Understand the emotions behind the words 
Reflection: "We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak." We should all listen to what others have to say because when you talk and say something they can actually be listening to what you are saying and understanding what you are going through. "Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply." Be a great listener to others be there for them. 

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." 
Reflection: We should talk to others about what they like and you can have a better conversation with them. You get to have a better relationship with the other person if you both talk about your guys is interest. I think that you can conversate more with a person if you talk about what you both like that you want to keep talking with them 

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."
 Reflection: If you are around someone you should always make them feel comfortable with you. Make others feel important when they are with you. Get to know each other. Be able to communicate and keep a conversation with the other person about what they like or anything in general. Make them feel important in the way you talk to them.





25 ways to make people feel important.

1. Make eye contact when others speak.
2. Make them feel good about themselves. 
3. Compliment them on their appearance.

The six attitudes of high achieves

"The Six Attitudes of High Achievers" 

John R. Noe 

1. Make no small plans

This means that if you make plans go big. For example your future we will always want to have big plans for ourselves. We all want what is best for ourselves none of us want to have a bad future. We all need big plans to aim high. We should always have big plans for ourselves and reach them. You cant just say you want something and not work on it to reach what you want. I think that in life everybody wants something big for themselves. We all have big plans for our future and some of us reach where we want to be and sadly some of us don't.  We all need motivation to accomplish our big plans. Don't make little plans for yourself have big plans.  

2. Do what they fear

Do what they fear is to do what others think is too much for them to do. To taking advantage of all the opportunities you have don't fear what others may fear. Do what you need to do to get to what your goal in life is. Never fear what others fear always go all out for what you need to do. Show people that you can reach your goal if you put in all your hard work. I think that we all need motivation from someone in your life to accomplish what you want to accomplish. We shouldn't fear what others fear we can show others that anything is possible if you set your mind to it.


3. Are willing to prepare 
Willing to prepare is to do what you have to do reach where you want to be in life. If you're walking down the right path and you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress. You shouldn't let anybody tell you, you won't make it they are just bringing you down. Never listen to what anybody has to say just do what you have to do even if you have to do it alone. Be willing to prepare anything you want in life. Put in work for what you want. Prepare yourself for the better.

4. Are willing to risk failure 

When you are willing to risk failure it can be because you are ashamed and don't want people to see what you can really do. I think that nobody should be willing to fail in life. We should all focus on what we want to do for ourselves and reach our goal. We are all going to fail in life many times but we all need to get back up and be better at it. Everyone fails to reach their goal. We will fail but we all need to realize that you wont do great at the first try we need to keep trying.




5. Are teachable 

I believe that there is many people that are teachable. We all learn from different ways. "Be ready to be a beginner every morning." This quote says that we are going to learn something new everyday. We all should be willing to listen to others and be teachable you are not right about everything nobody is. We should all be willing to learn and be teachable to others that may not understand it. Be determined to learn everything you can. If you learn then you can be teachable and help the ones around you.



6. Have heart 
 Have heart is to something but that comes from you and not just because someone tells you to do it. For example if someone asks you for help don't do it if you are going to ask for something in return. Do something for another person because you are doing it by heart. "A grateful heart is a beginning of greatness. It is an expression of humility. It is a foundation for the development of such virtues as prayer, faith, courage, contentment, happiness, love, and well-being."  Be able to show others what you truly are inside and not what they see in the outside. I believe that everybody has a heart but sometimes people don't like to show how they really are in the inside.

Reflection: I think that you need to be all these 6 attitudes if you want high achievers for yourself. Each one has something that you can learn from it and be a better person. You can become a better person and probably help others become a better person as well. I commit to try my best and be each one of these attitudes.
