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: Clarity is like seeing something. This something is your goal in life. If you see the terrain on how to reach your goal then it will be easy. If you are blinded by negativity then it will become difficult. You will have to choose another path or go through the negativity to reach your goal. Its good to see people opinions. For example in life you want to be rich. There will be the bad examples like selling illegal things you could get rich fast but could be sent to jail or the good example would be staying in school and working yourself to get a better job that pays more.
Key 2: Competence
Key 4: Common Sense
- Train your mind
- think things through
- listen to your intuition
- learn from setbacks
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."
It is true that each human beings are a genius in their own way. For example we as kids, we learn stuff and later think we are a genius since we learned it. Another example is serial killers that are genius for getting away from murder or their creativity to kill or torture a person. I am a genius for thinking whats gonna become of an outcome. I think the worse in situations and i do work that does not lead to it. Creativity could be about arts as well.
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."
Consideration is a process in thought you need to get in life. Also consideration is used by a process of trading. For example a landlord and a tenant, the landlord promises the condo for the tenant en-exchange for the tenant to pay rent.That is considerable for the landlord to be giving the condo to the tenant.
Key 7: Consistency
"Dependable, steady predictable work is always superior to fast 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."
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."
Commit is about trust. There is no more greater commit than a relationship. If you cant have commitment in the relationship then there is no trust. If there is no trust then there is no relationship and then one ends up on the streets. Also in a wedding you got to be committed to be with your new wife. If you lie to the alter and said yes then you is not loyal. In life commitment is the only way to get through life.
Key 9: Courage
"The fear of failure is the single greatest reason for failure in life."
No one has more courage than Courage the cowardly dog. He was the most courageous dog i ever seen. In life you need courage for example to ask your boss for a promotion or a higher pay. Courage will help you be not afraid, it will help you to take a stand. For example a boy takes a stand from being bully and all to standing up pulling out his uzi and rifle and begins to shoot. No just kidding but for real you have to have courage on some things.
Key 10: Confidence
"You only get confidence by doing things over and over again"
There is no greater confidence than going up on stage and strip. You have to memorize your dance routine or you could YOLO it and start dancing. In Magic Mike the "kid" was confident when Tarzan feel asleep. He got up on stage and started to dance. Mike helped him boost up his confident by teaching him the ways of strip. Then he gets too confident does drugs and sells them and ruins the good relationship with Mike. The point is that confidence is the key in the way of life. If you are too confident you done goof and mess things up.
Reflection:
This could benefit us in life by CHOOSING THE RIGHT. like always we have to or else we end up in some bad places.
Im putting in work in commitment and creativity just because.
