1. The seed of self esteem (appreciate the value of your self)

"From self-love to self- worth"

Self esteem means a persons overall subjective emotional evaluation. I think that this is important because if you esteem something you value it. And there a lot of people who value there things especially there important ones. For example if you really like your car then you esteem it which means that you value it. There are a variety of people who have low esteems and high esteem and this is when to determine if you value the things that you have or that are given. Having a good self esteem will lead you to greatness because valuing the things on your side is important. If you are good to your self the it will lead you to greatness because you have a good self esteem. Overall i think that appreciating and valuing yourself goes a long way because without yourself you cannot do anything.





2. The seed of creativity "Releasing your creative energy"


Creativity means to use the imagination or original ideas. I think that every person is creative in different ways. This is possible because not every person thinks the same which makes every person unique. Our world is based on creativity because creative people are the one who build and made it like this. If you want to reach success then you have to be creative when it comes to in certain situations along the way. It is important to have creativity because then you can create new ideas towards anything life. In my opinion people use creative ideas everyday without even knowing and that is the unique thing of us people we are able to creative new things which gives us success and the evolution keeps going.





3. The seed of responsibility "Whatever we sow, we reap."


Responsibility means having a duty to deal with something. I think that being responsible is very important because if you are not responsible then you are not capable of doing things that are assigned to you. Being responsible determines if you are a person who cares about what he or she is doing and being those types of people can make a good change. For example if the world  was filled with responsible people then our working system would be much better than it is now. I am a responsible person because i come to school on time and i get my work done. I am a person who like to do god in life and be responsible for my action. Overall i think that having  the responsibility like many people do is very important when it comes to achieving success because through out life there will be situation in where you have to do things and you have to be responsible for them.





4. The seed of wisdom "A large vocabulary- which implies broad, general knowledge-character the more successful persons, regardless of their occupations."


Wisdom means the quality of having experience and knowledge. I think that having wisdom is important because you know what you are doing in any situation. Having wisdom does not mean being smart it means that you actually use your brain to solve problems or do thinks that acquire thinking. Any person can be smart but if they do not know how to use it right then what is the point of being smart if yo van use it the right way. For example you are stuck in a situation and you need to be wise in every decision so then you have to use your intelligence to solve the problem. That is called wisdom because you are using your intelligence when you really need it. I know that i need to improve on my ways of being wise because sometimes i don't use it correctly and if i am trying to be successful person then i have to learn how to be wise in everyday life.





5. The seed of purpose "The gold mine in your goals"


Purpose means the reason for which something is done or created. I think that having a purpose is important because for everything that we do it has a purpose. A purpose is what defines our doings meaning that for the actions that we take there is a purpose behind it. For example when people tell you what is the purpose of your doing, then you would tell them why you are doing the thing that you are actually doing. For the goals that we make there is a purpose, it can be anything as long as it explains why you set this goals and why you want to accomplish them. In life every person has there own purpose of their doing and that is what makes us all unique in different ways. Overall i think that all the things we do everyday has a meaning to it. And this meaning is what defines why we are doing these things.





6. The seed of communication "Reach out and touch someone"


Communication means to share or exchange information. I think that having communication is important because in the world we live in we have to communicate to one another if we don't then we won't be able to do big things. For example our in most of our goals that we set deal with communicating with one another because that is how we are able to do something and achieve it. Lets say that you are in a group project and you have to work together in order to that you have to have communication because that is the only way to get things done as a whole. Overall i think that have the communication with a variety of people is wonderful because then you are able to speak with people over anything like if you need help or assistance towards something





7. The seed of faith "The power of positive believing"


Faith means to have complete trust or confidence to someone or something. I think that having faith is very important because when you do things you have faith in them. If you are a person who believes in positive power then you have faith. If you want things to go right then you have to have faith in it. For example you playing a basketball game and you guys are down by 6 you have to have faith and win that match because you believe that you are going to win which is what everyone needs. There are many people who know that having faith is important but not just that is shows hoe responsible you are and how trustworthy you are. Faith is what everyone has when something bad happens and that is what keeps us going in bad situations. Overall i think that i can use this by having faith in the things that i do.





8. The seed of adaptability "Turning problems into opportunities"


Adaptability means to able to adjust to new things. I think that this seed is important because during a persons life there is always change happening. You have to be able to adjust to it or else they won't accept the change. Change is brings exciting things to a persons life because you are constantly changing your ways and that is good. But in some points it can be bad if you are not adjusting to the change the right way. For example you have lived at a house for several years and one day your parents tell you its time to move. You would not want to because you have friends and people that you know there or you like the places that are there. But there are times where you have to move on and start new because you get to learn more things as you are constantly changing. Overall i think that change can be good depending on the situation because then you won't ever know if you don't try it.





9. The seed of perseverance "The will to win is everything"


Perseverance means a firm continuance despite the difficulty. I think that this seed is what determines how hard you work towards a goal, and this is what tells people if you are a hard worker. In basic word it means to always keep going no matter what happen. For example if you apply for a job and they do not accept you then you have to keep on applying to other jobs so you can have a higher chance of getting accepted. There is no option for you to give up because you have perseverance and persistence towards what you want in life or just in general. Another example can be myself because i am a person who does not give up towards hos goals. I am a person who is determined to accomplish what i have to accomplish. Overall i think that if you are a successful person then you must use this seed of perseverance to achieve that things that you want in life.





10. The seed of perspective  "Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude."


Perspective mean a point of view. I think that every person in this world has there own perspective because it is like a opinion. For example in a debate you are arguing about your own beliefs towards something that both person are either with or against it. This is when perspective comes in because your supporting your point of view on the topic that is being shown. Another example is politics there are always people who have there own perspective towards things and especially politics. But people have to understand that not every will agree with you because they think differently and that is okay because that is how we create new ideas by understanding other peoples ideas and thoughts. Overall i think that if you want to be successful in life then it is important to have your own thought and opinions or in other words perspective.

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 are going. If you do not have clear specific goals in life, you are doomed forever to work for others who do."

  I think that this key is important because when you have a vision of you being something in life then you are going to have to work for it. Having that vision in mind will help me choose on what is next after high school. Once you know on who you are going to be and what are you going to do then you have that clarity vision. That is what you want because you will already have your vision while others don't. Just to be able to have that clarity in mind will help the people who seek to fulfill their dreams. Overall in my opinion if you don't have clarity on what you want to do in life then you are not ready to move on to the next level.




Key 2: Competence

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


   When you have competence you have the ability to do something successfully or efficiently. which means that a person who has competence will be able to do things successfully and efficiently. I think that the people who have competence will have a better chance at doing lots of successful things that other people can't do. Competence is an ability that all people should have because then everyone can have the ability to do things efficiently and successfully.




Key 3: Concentration

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


I think that when you concentrate on something you have a better chance at doing it right. For example if you are a planning something make sure you put concentration on it. Because when you are finish that plan will most likely come out as hoe you wanted to.







Key 4: Common Sense

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

I think that when everyone uses common sense things can appear much easier. Meaning that if you know basically all of the self explanatory situations then you are ready for the world. We have to make smart decisions every time we make a decision.



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."


I think that creativity is important because the human brain can do so much things. We United States are known for creativity because we invents lots of things. With creativity we can do so much things like take our creative ideas and turn them to real life. We humans can make up so many ideas do to our creativity. Having creativity is very important because when you are creative you focus on the little details as well. This is what makes each and every human unique, also because not every human has the same ideas so that means that every one is different. That is even better because then we humans can have a variety of ideas to follow and make them reality.




Key 6: Consideration
"The quality of your relationship 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 born to learn one new word a day, within 5 years, you'll be the best educated person in history."


I think that every one takes things into consideration because we all have to think on our decisions that we make. Consideration just means thinking carefully, for example if i stun upon a decision then i will have to think it over carefully or in other words take it into consideration. In order to be successful you have to take lots of things into consideration because there are some things that can harm you and there is some that will benefit you. That is why you have to think carefully on what you are going to decide on because ever decision you make it will affect you in the future.



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."



I think that when a person has consistency others will rely on that person because he or she is dependable on doing there things. These type of people are consistent because they are responsible of there doings. When you are consistent you are basically doing things very frequently. Which is good because that is a sign that you are not a person who gives up. We have to follow these kinds of people because they are not lazy when it comes to work.



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."


I think that when you commit to something or someone you are going to complete it no matter what it takes. In order to be a high achiever in life you are suppose to commit to the things that you want to achieve. If you don't commit, you will never achieve goals that you want to achieve. This is why you have commit without commitment there will never be any progress in achieving anything. For example if you want to do better at your job then you have to commit fully to that job in order to move forward.You can think of anything that you want to do but if you don't commit to it you will not get far.



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


I think that it is very important to have courage because when you do you are up for it. But when you don't have courage you wont be able to do anything. It is great to have courage because we all need courage in order to do something that we don't want to. If you have a goal you have to have courage in order to achieve it but if you lack courage the goal will fade away. This is why we all need courage in our lives it will help us all with making decisions and actions. 

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


I think that if we all have confidence we can all achieve great things in life. Having confidence is very important because confidence helps you with determination towards anything in life. Confidence is very similar to courage, both help help you to be persistent and determinate to do anything. When you have confidence you are up for the challenge and you wont back down. Overall in order to complete or achieve something you have to have confidence because it will give you a boost of self motivation.
