"The Six Attitudes of High Achievers."

"The Six Attitudes of High Achievers." 

John R. Noe 

1. Make No Small Plans

Reflection: What this means to me is it like a small dream. If you don't make it big then its not worth it. For example a small plane is like a small dream most people don't remember there small dreams and the sooner or later you wont remember your small plans. If you think your plan is worth pursuing than make it as big as a plan you want or make it a big dream. Every plan is worth exploring even the little ones. That is why its important to make big plans either than small plans that are not worth it. 

Quote: "Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood and probably themselves will not be realized."

Daniel Burnham
2. Do what they fear
3. Are willing to prepare 
Reflection: This to me means that high achievers do what they are willing to prepare for. For this it means that they are willing to prepare for anything for example like a test, playoffs, competitions, etc. Many people don't like to  prepare for anything because it requires work and most people don't want to put any type of energy in to anything.

Quote: "If your inner life is not producing what you would like on the outside, don't be discouraged... just be willing to change."

Joyce Meyer 

4. Are willing to risk failure 

Refection: to me this means that you are really just trying to risk or take failure just to be successful at something. Lots of people are scared of the risk of failure. For example you not studying for a major exam that is worth 99.9% of your grade you are taking a risk to fail the major exam. Or another example not cleaning or doing chores like you promised you parents you would do you are just failing your parents expectations if you rather play video games all day and not bother to clean like you promise you parents. That is a big failure for your respect to your parents and your self. 
Quote: "The biggest risk is not taking any risk... In a world that changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks."

Mark Zuckerberg
5. Are Teachable 
Reflection: what this means to me means that high achievers are wiling to keep learning. An example of this Six attitudes is one of my uncles. He devoted his whole life to learning and his religion, but then his one regret was for him not studding enough. My uncle took years and years in college but he regrets stopping his education. He believes that he could have learned a lot more if he would have perused in his studies. In a total or an estimate he would have had 20+ years in school and college. He said if he would have the chance to do it all over again he would change the fact that he "did not learn enough." 
Quote: " As long we are unteachable we are hopeless."
ANON

6. Have Heart
Reflection: Why is having heart so important? Most people have no heart at all and they think that they don't need to feel just they just do what they want to do. Having heart means to me that you do it not because logically you have to do it but you do it because you know deep in your heart that it is the right and heart-full thing to do. An example of having a heart is when you see someone needs help and you do not help them because you do not know them but if you had a heart you will know it was and it is the right thing to do.Another example of having a heart is not breaking someones heart to make your heart or someone else feel better.

Quote: "Put your heart, mind, and soul into even your smallest acts. This is the secret of success."
Swami Sivananda


Reflection on the Six attitudes of high achievers: 
What i learned or reflected on about the 6 attitudes of high achievers is that all of these qualities are really a positive impact on a persons life and i did not realize that because i never wanted to reflect om the. The main reason that these 6 ways has effected my life in a big way is that anything is possible if you just set your mind to the possibility that you wean tit to reach. i know that most people only have one of the 6 attitude in them but i also know that they could have all six if they just set there mind to the possibility that they can and will. There was points that i thought i did not have any of these attitudes in me but when i started to finish my reflections i was noticing within my self i did have the qualities in me.

9 Ways to be Happy and Make Something of your Life

Gordon B. Hinckely 

1. Be Grateful 

.Reflection: Being grateful is like not taking lots of things for granted.  Being grateful is a necessary thing to have in life because it shows what kind of person you are or what type of person you could be. Those people that are not grateful those people are just the kind that aren't trying to do there best. being grateful is thanking people for the little things and the enormous things in life that they do for us. Being grateful is something that comes out of love and faithfulness. 

.Quote: " Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners that make our souls blossom" Marcel Proust. 

2. Be Smart
Reflection: Being smart tells a lot about your self. In most cases it tells you who you might be in the future. I know a lot of people that don't care if they are smart or if they are smart. People can be smart and not doing anything with the knowledge they have. Being smart is not only about knowing what the topic is being learned, but its about making good choices. For example if your friends try to convince you to go to a party and your parents are out of town you have to think is it the right choice to make. maybe your parents wont find out but what if they do is it smart to lie to them?
Quote; "Working hard an working smart sometimes can be two different things"
Bryon Drogan
In some ways that i will do to Be smart is to make great and responsible choices.

3. Be involved in Good Works 
Reflection: Be involved in the Good Works.......to me this means that to be involved in the work of good. For me it be in the work of good is to work at something that you know is nit only good for you but for the people your trying to help. For example its like working in a hospital. you are working there for the good of your self and for the good of the people that are in the hospital.
Quote. "The Best preparation for good work tomorrow is is to do good work today" 
  Elbert Hubbard

4. Be clean
Reflection: What being clean means is to have good hygiene. Meaning begin clean and etc. Another way of being clean is not having face piercings, tattoos, and not doing drugs of any kind. Lots of people think being clean is just the basics like a clean room, being showered, well dressed and etc. But another thing of being clean is like having no vulgar tattoos or face piercings. But in my own opinion every one is clean in there own way. For example if you have a tattoo it may be a positive tattoo like in memory of someone special or close to you that has passed away or it can be something religious or anything that defines begin positive.  these are some topics that are not related to being clean bad words or thoughts,alcohol, drugs, Gambling and etc.  
Quote: "What after all, is a halo? It's only one more thing to keep clean."

Christopher Fry 

5. Be True 

Reflection:  What this Ways post means is that do not be something or someone people expect you to be. Its your life and we should be true to the one life we have. I mean it dose not mean to take life or being true for granted. It just means that we should be true. Most people think begin true is telling the truth and never lying but that is part of it but another part is begin true to your self. An example of being true to your self is lets just say that your tall like 5'12. lots of people will say that you are very tall but then they say you should play basketball because you tall and lost of people keep telling you that even thou you do not like or want to. don't do it cause they are telling. do what you think is being true to your self. 

Quote: "The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows." 

Buddha 

6. Be Positive 

Reflection: Being positive means to means to think about the good side of things. For example if you have to do an essay that is due in a week most people think its not enough time and complain, but if you think positive you might just say that during this week its enough time because it dose not allow you to procrastinate into doing the work last minute. Begin positive also means that you try and make the bad and scariest moments positive if you can. lets say you got an C+ on a test and your all upset because you did not get the B+ you wanted but your happy anyways because you did not get a C or lower. 
Quote:"Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will." 
Zig Ziglar

7. Be humble
Reflection:  Being humble is like being modest and loyal in a way. For some people they just don't see it that way. Another way  
8. Be Still

Reflection: Being still is feeling your breath coming in and coming out it also means to Liston your thoughts. It is also like having peace within yourself. Most people cant be still in a positive way, but other people can. An example of being still is not just physically doing it. it is also doing it mentally and emotionally. An example of being still is "be still and know i am god" psalm46:10. this is an ex cert from the bible. It also means a spiritual disposition.
Quote: "“Feel your emotions,
Live true your passions,
Keep still your mind.” 
― Geoffrey M. Gluckman
9.Be Prayerful 

OVERALL REFECTION ON THE 9 WAYS:
The nine ways has really tought me how to be better and do better in the 9 ways that we learns these past weeks. most people think that there are no point in the 9 ways. But for me it is something to strengthen the mind of pe ansd how it effects our every day life. being Grateful teached me noty to take things for granted. being smart tought me to believe in myself. Being involved in good works helped me not to choose the wrong all the time. being true to my self was one of the biggest 9 ways that will stick with me my whole l;if . because i was being someone that im not for the good of someone elese and that wants being me at any point of my life.
