10 rules for success

by. me

1. Be motivated

if you're not motivated in reaching your goals then you're never going to reach them. set goals that you really want to achieve

2. Rest when you need to

working hard is great, but you can't work too hard. you need to rest when it's necessary so you don't over work yourself.

3. Stay focused

always stay focused on your path and what you're doing. if you're focused on others you'll get distracted and it'll be harder to achieve your goals 

4. Never give up

achieving goals can be stressful, and giving up may seem like an option, but it's not. when you feel like giving up, remember why you started working on this goal. have an idea of what it'll be like when you finally achieve this goal.

5. Work hard

working hard is vital when you want to achieve a goal. you cant not work hard and expect to move further with reaching your goal. everything takes time and working hard is important. 

6. better yourself

always try to better yourself when reaching your goals. think about how to can learn more, and become a better person.

7. take every opportunity you can

opportunities are important when you want to achieve your goal. never be afraid to take an opportunity when it's presented because you're going to regret it.

8. dont be afraid 

sometimes, people don't do thing because they're afraid. dont be afraid to do what you want to because you're scared of how long or how hard it's going to be. everything good in life requires hard work, but in the end it's always worth it. 

9. have a good attitude

when achieving your goals, it's always important to have a good attitude. always believe in yourself that you can do it. never, for a second, doubt your abilities, because thats not going to help you. 

10. be consistant

class evaluation

class evaluation

Things that i like this class are how much we got to learn about computers. We got to learn a lot about coding which was really interesting and fun. i liked going on code.org and websites like that because being able to code was really cool. i also liked the 5 minutes we would get to write in our goals journal. i liked setting new goals for myself and being able to look back to see which ones i achieved made me motivated to achieve more goals.

what i didnt like about this class was what we had to write about each morning. i wouldn't mind doing those things sometimes but having to do personal development posts every morning was really boring. 

recommendations for improving this class are having more time learning about computers and coding. we would usually only get 15-20 minutes of learning new things or go on code.org. it would've been better to get more time or at least half the class period to be able to learn about coding. 

a highlight for me in this class was when we were on code.org because it was interesting to see what html codes can do and what kind of commands a program follows. although sometimes it was frustrating because i didn't get something right i still enjoyed doing it. 

i really did my best in this class despite always being tired since it was the first class of the day. i always put effort in the personal development posts and wrote to the best of my ability. i also always brought my life planning journal because that's an important part of our grade and i didnt want to fail this class. 

I am reading and writing in my life planning journal when i have the time. i don't get the chance every single day but i make sure to wrote as many goals as i can when i have my 5 daily minutes. life planning is very important because without them you don't really have a sense in where your going so it's good to write down your goals somewhere and read them everytime you can. 

i do my best at being a ctr person because i know how important it is. you might not always get rewarded right away, but it still feels nice to do the right thing. you also have to be a ctr person if it means negative consequences. you can't always be a good person only when it's conveniant for you. you have to be a good person because thats what's right. being a bad person doesn't make anything better. whenever i get the chance i am always a ctr person because that's what i was taught to do. this class has helped me see how great being a ctr person is and i have become a person person because of it. i would never miss the opportunity to be a ctr person.

10 seeds of greatness

10 seeds of greatness

by dennis waitley

1. the seed of self-esteem: (appreciate the value of yourself)

"from self-love to self-worth"

self confidence is important if you want to be and feel great. this is the first seed because the path to greatness starts off with self-esteem. you need to know your worth in order to be great. you cant let people take advantage of you. People that dont have self-esteem and don't know their worth seem to be miserable and don't have the confidence they need. self esteem is also important on the path to success because you need confidence to get through a lot of obstacles in your life. You cant give up if you encounter a small problem just because you dont think you're good enough. You must always appreciate the value of yourself if you want to feel great and achieve greatness. 

2. The seed of creativity:
"releasing your creative energy"

3. The seed of responsibility
"whatever we sow, we reap."
Responsibility is a vital seed of greatness. You need to take responsibility for everything you do whether it's good or bad. You also have to be a responsible person by doing what you have to do. For example, if you have to do a school project, it's great to take the responsibility of doing it. If you don't do it you also have to be honest about it instead of trying to make up an excuse of why you didn't do it and start a web of lies. Always take responsibility for your actions; even if you don't want to, because it's better to be an honest person that's responsible. Honest and responsible people will never fail to be successful. 
Excuses will get you nowhere in life. If you're full of excuses no one will trust you or take you seriously. 

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

You can't be great, unless you have wisdom. Wisdom plays a big role in the 10 seeds of greatness. No matter what is someone is wise they are great. . No matter what someone works as, if they are wise, then they are successful. It doesn't take a lot for someone to have a large vocabulary. If you learn 3-5 words a day, in a year you'd know almost 2 thousand new words. It's very important to keep learning even if it's not mandatory. Learning helps your brain stay stimulated and awake, whereas if you don't learn, it'll be harder to stay focused on things. It's bad to not use your brain to it's full potential because bad things start to happen. Maybe you forget things easily or feel like it's too hard to do simple things. It's important to be wise and learn as much as you can because it will always help you in the future. 

5. The seed of purpose
"the gold mine in your goals"
You can't have greatness unless you have purpose. You need to have a purpose to work hard and achieve the greatness that you want. The easy way to reach your goals is if you have purpose, then it won't seem like hard work. If you have a purpose for your goals then you won't want to give up even if you feel like it's too hard. For example, learning a language takes a lot of hard work. But if you have a purpose for learning it, you'll want to keep going at it until you're good enough. You're purpose doesn't have be a grand purpose, as long as it motivates you to do what you want to do with your life. Doing something with good purpose will always lead to greatness, no matter what you're doing.

7. The seed of faith: the power of positive believing. 
 faith is an important thing to have if you want to be great. you have to have a positive believing and a positive attitude. you can achieve greatness through a positive attitude because you believe good things will happen. if you have a bad attitude it's going to be hard achieving greatness because you don't believe good things can happen to you. you're alwaus going to think about the negative side of things rather than the positive sides which can really make you unmotivated. You wont feel the need to do anything if you dont have positive thinking or if you dont have faith that good things will happen if you put in the hard work. positive believing can make you achieve great amazing things in life. even if some days you have some bad thoughts, take a break, relax, and believe happy positive thoughts. good things will always come to those who work hard and believe that their hard work will pay off in the end. 

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

In order to be great, you need to learn to adapt to certain circumstances. It's very important in the path to success because not everything is going to be the way you want it to, and you have to accept that. You have to be able to adapt to certain situations in order to do your work successfully. If you don't want to adapt, then you will fail and have a lost an opportunity. Sometimes if things don't go as planned you need to figure out how to can be successful and turn that change into opportunity. Change is a common thing in life, it's better to accept it and deal with it rather than complaining and not doing anything because of it. Learn to adapt and your life will be a lot easier, rather than rejecting it and making your life a lot harder. To be successful sometimes you have to get used to things changing constantly. Nothing is going to be the same forever. 

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

If you want to be great, you need to have perseverance to be great. On the path to greatness you can't ever give up. There will always be obstacles wherever you go but you have to persevere and learn to overcome them. For example, in school, there's always going to be obstacles. If you set your mind to it you can overcome whatever obstacles whether it's a test, presentation or a big assignment. These things might seem hard but if you persevere you can do good on those things. Another example is if you're learning something. You might be struggling and maybe you want to give up. But if you persevere eventually you'll learn the thing you were once struggling at and you'll be glad you never gave up. Never give up on your dreams because they will lead on the path of greatnes and on the path to success. 

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

Perspective is a really important quality to have if you want to be great. It's very important to have perspective in order to live a happy, great life. Happiness is very important because you need happiness to live a high quality life. Through being a happy person, that makes you a great person. you cant be miserable and then wonder why your life isn't going great. Greatness comes from happiness and happiness comes from the path to greatness and success. Happiness also comes from being grateful. You have to appreciate all the good things in life. But you also have to appreciate all the bad things in life because without the dark there is no light. Always be grateful for what you have because someone out there wishes they have what you have. Always live your life with love and gratitude and it's guaranteed you live a life of greatness. 

Reflection:
the ten seeds of greatness are all very important to have. if you want to be great, you have to have all the 10 seeds. you can't just have one and expect to be great, or 5, or 3. You have to have all 10 seeds to succeed at being a great person. if you miss one or are missing one, then you have to keep working towards that seed. all these seeds are very vital on the path to success because all these seeds will help you in one way or another to succeed. you cant expect to succeed only using one of the seeds, that'll only make you grow a little. if you plant all 10 seeds on your path to success, you will grow a whole lot. If you plant all of these you will not fail to succeed. these seeds are very useful because they help me realize what i need to do to get further in my goals. if i dont seem to be succeeding i ned to look back and think about what seed im missing that's holding me back from reaching my goals. this assignment really helped me realize what i need to do to reach my goals because now i know what'll help me reach them. 

ten tips for being more truthful

The ten tips

barbara a. lewis

1.  make a commitment to tell the truth
2. tell someone about your commitment
3. think before you give a dishonest, answer, explanation, sarcasm, or reason
4. be careful of when and how you use exaggeration, sarcasm, or irony
5. be careful not to twist the truth or leave out a part of it
6. dont indulge in little white lies
7. watch out for silent lies
8. when you catch yourself lying, throw your mouth into reverse
9. talk to yourself
10. treat yourself when you tell the truth 

 the way these ten tips will benefit me is they'll help me live a better life. It's hard to live a life full of lies because then you'll have to keep on making lies and it's inconvenient. It's easier to tell the truth because you know what happened and you dont need to think and make things up. even if the truth is bad is still better than to lie. Because you can get caught up in your lies and they might not even make sense. And if you get caught lying the repercussions can be worse than to tell the truth since the beginning. For example, if you work on a research essay for school, its easy to plagiarize rather than to do your own work so you're gonna be tempted to do it. It's gonna be harder on you if you get caught lying so it's better to be a hard worker and tell the truth because in the end it will pay off. These tips are important to live because the truth makes life easier. even if the truth hurts you're gonna be more hurt if you're cheating and lying. For my life planning journal i can write down to always be truthful. I will write to always think of the truth and even when i want to lie i know the repercussions will be bad. It will always be better to be truthful and to lie because lying means choosing the wrong.

spring break

in my spring break i really didn't do anything exciting. The whole week i didnt have wifi so i couldnt use the internet so i had to find other things to do. i resumed studying my japanese because i had to stop for a while because of school. I learned the vocabulary of a few body parts and a few words relating to nature but i still have more to learn. I also started reading the book '13 reasons why' again because it's really interesting and i never finished reading it when i started a couple years ago. That's really all i did besides sleeping and being bored. I went out of my house a few times but it was for little things like buying food and stuff. I didnt spend a whole lot of my time outside. I like to be indoors on my days off rather than outside because i get to relax. I also watched 2 BTS concerts with my sister since we really like that band she decided to watch them with me. That pretty much sums up my whole spring break. Since im not an outdoors person nothing interesting ever happens to me. I dont care about being intersting i enjoy what i do in my spare time. hopefully  during future breaks I'll be able to do something interesting like go to a cool city or go to a museum.
