10 Keys to Personal Power

10 Keys to Personal Power

Brian Tracey

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."

Clarity is a quality that is important to have in life. It involves being clear and knowing what to do and knowing where you're going. Confusion and being lost isn't something that should be happening, what must happen is clarity and not get lost or confused but understand. Many successful people call clarity the antidote to anxiety, anxiety can lead to many negative turnouts. Clarity is something that must be provided in every person that truly wants to be successful. Many things can get lost in translation but clarity can fix and truly help out in life. Clarity can help anywhere it can help on getting a job, being in school, working, communicating, and just lots of stuff. Often times while working so hard we have lost sight of the things we worked so hard to obtain. This is when clarity comes in and helps see what has been lost and help you. Without Clarity everything is just so unclear and foggy, something that is unable to see and hard to focus on.

Key 2: Competence
"If you commit to excellence, opportunities will always come your way. The harder you work, the better you get."

This is the ability to be able to do something very successful or efficiently. This is something that can be chosen to do and must be for every successful person. Life is all about being competence. The successful people decided to be competence, and that was their right move, to strive for competence and more success and experience. If you keep doing something over time over and over again, you're going to get used to it which makes you efficient. Sometimes doing the same thing doesn't give it the same feeling as deciding to challenge yourself and go for more so everything can be easy. Successful people decide to not do the same thing and decide to educate them self and go for more power to help them out. Overtime it becomes a skill and is very easy if lots of work and motivation is applied. Competence isn't something that is naturally given to anybody this is a skill that if wanting to be successful then it will be acquired. It is about doing the job properly and improving more and more day by day. Competence is seen as something with knowledge, cognitive skills, behavior, and improving.

Key 3: Concentration
"Make the best use of your time. Ask yourself “Is this the best use of my time?” before you start anything."

Concentration is key when it comes to success. Being successful is all about focusing and sticking to what is key and important. Sometimes it might be hard to concentrate if there is lots of distractions happening, that's why it is important to find a place for concentration. Successful people ask them self "Is this the best use of my time?" when they're about to do anything, and that leads to their actions that will demonstrate their success. I am a student and for me the biggest key part in a student's life is concentration, we have to concentrate in assignments in homework, in every day of our life. Concentration is an important key for success it's when the time is right and new fresh ideas go in to place. Focus and lots of thinking is what makes up concentration. If a business needs more and better ideas then the whole company will need to focus and come up with ideas that will benefit. Concentration will improve mental effort and will improve success.

Key 4: Common Sense

• Train your mind

• think things through

• listen to your intuition

• learn from setbacks

Common sense is needed in every successful person's life. It's common for every person to have common sense some maybe better than others because they trained their mind. The more you focus on common sense the better the common sense will improve. It's an everyday judgement that uses the basic ability of perceiving, understanding, and judging. It takes  time to understand things on the way it is seen, and that's when common sense takes u the information and does it's job of understanding. Common sense is something that's individual for every human being and should listen to what is their intuition. Successful people listen to what their mind has to say and most of almost all their success comes from their ideas and choices. Successful people just don't let setbacks take them down they learn from setbacks and try to make sure it won't happen again. Some people will just let the setback happen and not try to work on it and continue that way, but successful people will acknowledge their setback and learn. Common sense is important for everyone and will continue that way because it leads to success.

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."

Creativity is something successful people who are set with creative minds and everything around them is seen as creativity. These successful people who are the most successful tend to ask more questions. They understand and see what must be understood more. Creativity is something that can be acquired by everyone as long as they know how to use it and create ideas in their head that will help them and others. Many of everything the world has was made by people with creative minds. I have a creative mind and over time I am increasing my creativity. Questions are important the questions lead to answers the answers lead to understanding and knowledge leads to success. That question that was ask no longer needs to be asked once the answer is obtained. The world contains tons of answers to everything and will continue containing the answer for the creative people.

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 key to being in contact with lots of people. People skills is important because successful people must know how the type of people they know act and what they expect. For successful people expectations are set high but  for them it's easy if they been being successful overtime with consideration. There will be many relationships that will determine how much of success you are with people. The more you know the better you are, learning more and more knowledge and going after more is great and truly a way of being the most successful you can be.


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."

Commitment is all about being dedicated. Being dedicated to what you do is what makes you successful. Successful people are dedicated to what they do and they stay that way to reach more and more success. I stay committed to what I have to do in school and to many things in my life. It's one of the most important thing about success and that is being committed to success, this has to be and everyday thing not just for success but for life in general. I commit to my responsibilities, to my school work, to my relationship, to the people I trust, I'm committed to my life and the way I want it. I'm dedicated to my work and to what I do for success. I won't be able to have success and start my way to more success if it isn't for commitment. People will sometimes do something but won't really be committed to engage in it, which will just ruin them and not lead them to anywhere. Life is all about staying on task and doing the stuff you love that makes you happy and something you feel comfortable with. Success comes with commitment. 

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


Life is all about taking risk and being brave. If you just live in failure then that would leave to failure in life. Having courage is all about taking risk and try to keep going forward, can't just stay back and stay scared. Successful people take so many risk at everything and if they just failed then they wouldn't give up they would learn from where they had a mistake and advance. Successful people didn't let nervousness and other obstacles stop them they just went straight forward to see what will happen and it came out great. People just can't be intelligent and be scared or shy they have to have both without courage they are just considered a person with no courage and that leads to no success. Being scared to ask a question shouldn't happen, if the question is asked then that question will lead to an answer and that answer will lead to learning and understanding. Life will forever contain obstacles that will require courage to outcome them, and the more courage that is applied to these obstacles the more and more they be seen as obstacles. Courage can lead to improvement that definitely be a great thing to have through all of life and lead to more and more success. I have courage and through out time I will gain more and more courage through all the obstacles I will face that will make me more of a successful  person.

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

Confidence is the most important to have all these 10 keys are. The world runs on confidence everywhere. Confidence is what gives you strength and motivation. In the past I never really had confidence I was always scared but now I am really confident I came out of my shell and decide to start doing stuff that requires lots of confidence. I never would've really gain this confidence if it wasn't for this person that showed me I can have confidence, I gained confidence from this person and they never knew they gave me it. Day by day I get more confident and keep on trying but never give up. It's okay to fail it's okay to fall, what matters the most is how you're going to rise and not fall again. During this road to more success you will fall but it shouldn't stop, what should be happening after you fall is getting up. Always doing one thing over and over again, will built up confidence and it will be a thing that is simply simple and easy because you've done it so many times it doesn't challenge you. If some people don't just try to get up after they fall that's just not going to build their confidence it's going to just make them stay the same and throughout life they will progress unsuccessful. Success is taken one step at a time confidence makes those steps proceed forward. 

Reflection: 
These 10 keys will make a difference in my life and in many people's life. All of these 10 keys to personal power do provide power. All of these are in important not a single one of them use not important. Everyday that goes by I work hard to provide these 10 keys to everyday life. My favorite key of them all is confidence. Confidence is very important to have in life. I play soccer I come to school and when I enter the field or the classroom I tend to have the upmost confidence I have that will make me excellent on the field and in the class. courage is about not being scared, it's okay to be scared as long you tend to have the courage that will stop the freight. Commitment is important to everything, without commitment there is just no success to come after it all, must have the ability to reach success the way you want. Consistency depends on being a person who is dependable, who will finish work on time and will never be late and always ready to do work and finish work.  Consideration determines people skills and having contact with everyone and knowing how to communicate. Creativity is what the world runs on and how ideas can make a miracle. Common sense is a skill that everyone requires but it determines what people think what they see and how they see it. Concentration is a big key that starts so many and ends many things with time. 

School break Days

School Break Days

What I did for my winter break was mostly stay at home and spend time with the family. I went places, the first place I went to was Ontario Mills which was a long road trip to get to that shopping mall. It was probably one of the biggest I have ever been to, the next place I went to was Big Bear which we went tubing and my father decided to go so up high and see all the great houses, then we decided to eat at our favorite pizza place called Neo's Pizza which is great because in it's basement it has a fun little arcade. I didn't really watched movies but i did watched series like Arrested Development, Black Mirror, and my favorite of The Office. I did watched lots of  soccer and something that I started watching more frequently is Football I just enjoy how a team can create a comeback by putting all their effort together. I did spend lots of my time playing video games like Rainbow 6 Siege, COD Black Ops 3, FIFA 18, and Fortnite. Some very exciting moments happen in this Christmas break that I will explain.  I received shoes that I always wanted since the moment I laid my eyes on. I packed Kevin De Bruyne and Erickson from FIFA 18 which are very high rated players that cost a lot. I got many victory Royals in Fortnite. Through this whole entire Christmas Break I got time to spend together with my family and truly feel like a CTR person.

Electric Vehicles

Electric Vehicles 

There is self driving cars that transport people with no driver on the driver's seat. Self driving taxi cars are expanding through the United States. In Phoenix there is self driving taxis that just pick up people and take them to their destination. People have wrote blogs explaining how the taxi units are all over the place. The city in Phoenix has nice streets and nice weather for the units to get around. This self driving car has been running for already 2 years this software launched in 2015. The terrain for the cars is so good that it won't cause any problems for the unit. Uber has been working on this for years even made a city just for the cars can be driving around as a test to make sure there's no problem and soon go to the streets. In California, companies are required to fund the program and need cars if this program is to launch in California. So far Phoenix Arizona is the best place because of it's roads and weather will cause no problem for the self driving car. This is really changing the future and making better with all this maybe there will be less accidents. There is many cars being manufactured that are truly changing the future and becoming more Eco-friendly. These cars don't have no engine they run on pure electricity, this is a car that Tesla has made. It has models that can self drive themselves on the freeway. Tesla is changing the future with it's amazing cars but there is one downfall and that is the price of the car is a lot. This electric car has to be one of the best now and the best in the future. 

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Habit 1: Be Proactive

"Habit 1 is the key to unlocking all the other habits and that's why it comes first. It says, "I am the captain of my life. I can choose my attitude. I'm responsible for my own happiness or unhappiness. I am in the driver's seat of my destiny, not just a passenger."

Being proactive is a great habit that must be used in everyday life. You must control the way you want your life to head, the way that you want it to be. It's all about heading towards your goal to what you want to be successful. In order to go in the right direction you must be proactive. This habit will ensure to strive for more success. You just can't be proactive one day and the next day you won't, it just doesn't work like that it's all about making it a 24/7 thing. Being proactive is the key that will bring so many great habits to making you successful. It all determines on you and what you do, it determines on me and what I do. I am proactive and I am in charge and on the driver's seat to my destiny that awaits. Responsibility is important for being proactive it's all about waking up and knowing that you will be responsible for being proactive today. I will arrive at my destiny and the other habits for being proactive. I control on what I do in my life and I choose to be Proactive to chase on my destiny. 

Habit 2: Begin with the end in mind 
"Control your destiny or someone else would." (Jack Welch)

When starting something it is important to always important to finish what you started. The end is the best thing to something that you have started. It is a great feeling seeing the end in mind because once you get there, happiness and joy come out of it. I always intend in finishing what I just started because I know that I am going to finish because I have the end in mind. Someone should not be able to control your ending, your destiny. The only person that controls that is you and only you. I control what I am going to do with my destiny and I make sure it's good. Beginning with the end in mind is something to always think of for example if you study for a test and you study over and over then in the end you will get a good grade on the test because in order to get to the end you must have the sequence in mind too on how to get there. Every person has a destiny to get too, that's called their destiny and they all control it, they all control their own destiny. People will try to take advantage of your destiny but what is important and to always keep in mind is that you only you can control it and will not let anybody in the driver's seat of your destiny. The only person that should be in the driver's  seat is you and you're driving your way to your destination which is your destiny.

Habit 3: Put first things first
"Organize and execute around priorities" 

Putting things first is important to every human being it has to become a habit. When you think of doing something that thing must be put first and must be done. Being organize is important it makes things easier and faster and truly will help through out all life. For example it's like being on a slide what you must do first is climb up the slide and then you will need to slide down. Climbing might not be fun but it is the first thing that has to be done. Then comes adjusting yourself to slide down. Finally, you have fun sliding down, all these are steps that must be done correctly and organized because it is important to do things the right way in order to finish the right way. The beginning is the starting of many things and that's why it's the most important.


habit 4: Think Win-Win
"Think Win-Win or no deal'

It's all about thinking that you're going to win. You can't win if you think that you're going to think of losing. Thinking that you're going to lose will make you lose. I am a person who thinks of winning, if I lose i obviously didn't put so much thought into winning, I know that I must try harder to win. There is no deal if you're not thinking of winning because that is just something that's going to come with luck. You just have to keep trying over and over and have the confidence to win. Winners are not just naturally made they put so much effort into focusing on winning and when their time comes then they will put themselves to the limit and win. I try my hardest to become a winner and I know that I can do it because I have confidence and effort. I don't want no deal I want win. When people train or practice what every athlete looks up to is to win that's a number one requirement, every athlete looks forward to win I look forward to win. With the train and thought into winning, and if it's the main focus then there is going to be a victory in the end of the game. It doesn't have to just be a sport winning results in many ways.


Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, then to be Understood. 
"Diagnose before you prescribe"
It is important to understand before saying something about you're understanding. It's all about learning so you can understand the subject so then you can go on and teach others. Learning about what's wrong is the most important thing to do before you actually try to solve the problem. If you just go on ahead and try to solve the problem right away then there might be a big chance that the problem will only resolve on being bigger. This habit is all about understanding others and understanding yourself. For example going to doctor they need to diagnose what's wrong and what's making you sick so they can prescribe you the medicine that will make you better. In school I must understand the subject I'm learning so I can advance forward and make others understand what I have understood. The people who are really successful are the ones who did lots of listening and less talking. Before doing anything the first thing that must come is listening. A big problem in listening is that we listen to reply not  to understand. Understanding is a key part in life it's what will make others understand you.


Habit 6: Synergize
"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts (1+1=3)"
This habit is all about teamwork. On this habit it is very important to me because the whole world runs on teamwork. Nothing can be done if it's just a person by themselves, teamwork gets the job done faster and easier. Being together is being stronger. People work together for everything and this is correct and will be forever. When one person or many others combine their efforts it will lead to many accomplishments. It is better to work together than working apart. Synergy can accomplish many things in life, it can benefit almost anything. When a building is being built, it can't be done alone by just one worker it requires a team a huge team to combine and unite to create a marvelous building. Synergy isn't just  for the work force it goes beyond and is introduced and adapted by many other people and businesses. Many people don't want to be in team and that is just not good, later on that person that doesn't like teamwork will realize that everything requires teamwork. In sports in order to score a touchdown or a goal the whole team needs to work together to accomplish the objective.

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw

Four Dimensions of Self-Renewal: Physical, Mental, Spiritual, Social/Emotional
These will be about the four dimensions of physical, mental, spiritual, and social/emotional. These are very important attributes to have in every day life. These have to be applied to everyday life but must never disappear, you must be productive everyday in life. That's why the saw must be sharpen so you can continue being productive. A saw over time of being used will become less and less productive from working everyday. Just like there must be a saw for life and must be used everyday over and over but after the saw of your life starts to get less productive, it must get sharpened so it can continue the next day and then the next day until you have to sharpen the saw of your life again. The way you can sharpen the saw is to eat healthy , get good rest, get some exercise, take breaks, breathe deeply, and many more that will help. That was some physical ways that the saw of life can be sharpened. Now there is mental ways like solving puzzles, find a hobby, and other mental ways that can best suit the saw of life. The way to spiritually sharpen the saw can be in a way as such as praying. The way to social and emotionally sharpen the saw is by hanging out or talking with friends. have people that you can connect to, that know you and that you feel comfortable with. The final way you can emotionally sharpen the saw is by talking to family members and connecting with them connecting others.

Reflection:
These 7 habits will forever be habits that I will have in my daily life style I am a very proactive person. I control my life the way I want and will continue doing it my way I am not a reactive person and don't intend on being. I am on the drivers seat for my life, I control it, and i'm going straight on the road to completing my goals. There might be bumps and curves in the way but that is not going to stop me from completing my goals. The 2nd habit is to begin with the end in mind, that is something that I always think of before I start something. If I start something I have to keep in mind that I will finish what I started. I see things all the way to the end and will want it to end the way I start to the end. I have many things in my life, but the most important are the ones that must be first. This 3rd habit is a big one I have to put so many things first like my education and my family. Many things like my hobbies and activities I just can wait. Winning is something that's always on my head. This 4th habit is all about thinking to win so you can actually win. When I play soccer I always think on winning and doing my best so that my team and I could win. If I don't feel confident about winning then I'm not doing it right, and if I lose then I know that I wasn't thinking about winning and I must work harder. I understand people I must understand people before I can be a person that people will understand. This 5th habit is all about listening and understanding. It is not good to understand and talk at the same time it must be all listening and focus. Synergy is what is so important to me, the whole world is built on synergy. Everything that is here in this world required a team and hard work. I will sharpen the saw and will continue to have all the attributes. The four dimensions are really important and will add them to my everyday life. 

Importance of setting goals

Importance of Setting Goals

The importance of setting goals is setting a milestone for you to make that goal come true. All through my whole I've been taught that I must create my goals and accomplish those goals. Small goal big goal it doesn't matter what's the size of the goal all that matters is that you reach the goal knowing that you did it. It is important to have huge goals, goals that you will try so hard to reach. Once you complete this goal you will feel great, but it just doesn't stop there what happens after completing a goal is that there is more goals to create, to chase, and to complete. I will go through my whole life creating goals and i will not stop because goals is showing me that I can do it I can put so much hard work and effort to my goals that i will continue to chase and will accomplish. I might have some goals that sound impossible but it is not impossible until I accomplish my goal. I will tell people my goal and they will tell me I can't but I still believe in myself and know that if I try so hard I know I can do it. Goals keep me on track, it makes me put effort in trying and not giving up. Goals are important to me to everyone.
