Becoming Your Best:
The 12 Principles of Highly Successful Leaders
1. Be true to character
Reflection: What this principle means to me is to be true to yourself and to be true about your character because who wants to be with a person that lies about themselves just for the pleasure of it. An example of how to be true to character is when you meet a new person and you try to be everything you aren't and you're not being true to your own character.
Quote: " The hardest thing to do is to be true to yourself, especially when everybody is watching."
Dave Chappelle
" Be true to yourself, help others, make each day your masterpiece, make friendship a fine art, drink deeply from good books - especially the Bible, build a shelter against a rainy day, give thanks for your blessings and pray for guidance every day."
John Wooden
2. Use your Imagination
Reflection; What it means to use your imagination is to be creative and out their with your own imagination because that is something that can identify what type of person and what type of creative character your person has. An example of how to use your imagination is when the going gets tough and your imagination is a little bit of a hope that you have in yourself. Imagination means the ability to form new images and sensations in the mind that are not perceived through senses such as sight, hearing, or other senses.
Quote; " Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere."
Albert Einstein
" Vision is the true creative rhythm."
Robert Delaunay
3. Apply power of knowledge
Reflection: What it means to apply the power of knowledge is to helps us make informed decisions and to be smart about it to because if we don't apply the power of knowledge where would we be in order of the situation. "knowledge is power. You can't begin a career, for that matter even a relationship, unless you know everything there is to know about it."
Randeep Hooda
Quote: "Knowledge is power, if you know it about the right person." Ethel Watts Mumford
4. Never give up
5, Find peace and balance
Reflection: What it means to find peace and balance is to find a way to balance your life the most positive way you can. A way i can apply this to my life is by choosing the choices i make more wisely because it will determine my peace and balance.
6. Live the Golden Rule
Reflection: What living by the golden rule means is to live by the important positive rule that you have for yourself. The golden rule is a rule that you find very close to like for example treat others how you want to be treated. The golden rules are the basic foundation that one needs to progress in to a positive person. The golden rule is like the key to success without it there is bad in the future. Integrity,ethics,morals,principles etc all has to do with the golden rule.
Quote: " The golden rule for every business man is this: 'Put yourself in your customer's place." Orison Swett Marden
7. Build and maintain trust
Reflection: What it means by to build and maintain trust is basically that it's important to have that trust communication with another human. But it also means that you building trust is the first step with you to having another special person in your life that you will have the ability to trust. AN example of to build and maintain trust is when you make a new friend and you do anything you possibly can in your power to make them trust you in a healthy matter,but an example of you building a trust and not able to maintain it and just let it fall apart if a different story. A way that i will apply this to my life is when i meet new people or try to amend my broken relationships with other people is to always build and maintain trust.
Quote: "It takes two to do the trust tango--the one who risks (the trustor) and the one who is trustworthy (the trustee); each must play their role."
Charles H. Green
8. Quick to listen slow to wrath
Reflection: What this means to me is that you are a good or great listener but when the listing has taken a bad turn and you heard or listed to something uncalled for you do not immediately attack or get all offensive.This is another way of just saying think before you speak because that is what you have to do in a good or bad situation. Another saying would be be sure to taste your words before they come out your mouth. I will learn to apply this to my every day life in a very positive manner because lately there has been no positive thing in my life.
Quote: "My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry."
James 1:19

9. Lead with vision
Reflection: I believe what it means to lead with vision is you have to in order to lead you have to have a visual idea on what and why are you leading because with out a vision what will or are you going to lead? An example of not leading with a clear vision on what you want to lead is say you really believe in a rights to every living person and things and you want to protest that for a good cause. so you just want to go in automatically with a strong fist but you dont realize that you do not have a clear vision on how to do it an you just went for it. with no clear vision you got in a mess were you do not know what to do.
Quote: " I'm most proud of the blessings that God has bestowed upon me, in my life. He's given me the vision to truly see that you can fall down, but you can still get back up. Hopefully I'll learn from my mistakes and have the opportunity to strengthen and improve the next thing I do."
Martin Lawrence
Quote: " You don't truly have success if you don't have time to do what matters most."

Do what matters the most
Reflection; What i believe that what it means to "do what matters the most" is like saying make time for what matters. All this means is to put the right and positive priorities first and then do whatever comes after. An example of do what matters the most and also make time for what matters is let's just say you are in a situation that you have to decide between doing your homework to keep your grades up or going out with friends and procrastinating to get the work done. There is a half and half chance that most people will choose going with friends or doing the homework but you have to do what matters the most.
Quote: " You don't truly have success if you don't have time to do what matters most."

12.Be accountable
Reflection: A basic understanding on what the word accountable means you have to be aware and required to know what you are doing and also to justify decisions or actions.Being accountable is also in other words meaning responsible, liable, answerable, and culpable. Some antonyms are unaccountable, blameless, innocent, irresponsible,and unreliable. What makes all of these words have the same thing in common is they all have the brief definition of the word accountable. Two examples of being accountable and not being accountable is say you are working on a group project and every one is accountable for one section in your project. That means everyone has a responsibility.
Quote: "Understand, our police officers put their lives on the line for us every single day. They've got a tough job to do to maintain public safety and hold accountable those who break the law."
Barack Obama
