“The Six Attitudes of High Achievers”

JOHN R. NOE

1.  Make No Small Plans

To become a high achiever we do need to make big plans. Big plans will take us to big achievements; small plans will not get us anywhere, we need to make big planes and if we make any small plans they have to be plans that will help us reach the big plan. Life is about think big going for the best, we all need to have high achievement plans because those plans will take us places. We all have something that we want to do but the only way we are going to reach those plans is if we make set high goals and achieve them no matter what it takes. I know that I want to be a high achiever I don’t want to have a hard life; I want to make it as easy as possible for myself and the way to do that is to make sure that I have high plans that lead to high achievements. When we aim for high achievements we are sure to end up in a good place as long as we are determined to achieve them. We must also never try to get anywhere in life by cheating because if you manage to get yourself in a good work by cheating, you are not going to last very long. When we cheat through life we are sure to get caught and when we get caught there is so much that we lose like; respects, trust, accountability, and the opportunity of ever getting any better because nobody want to be with a cheater.

                                                  QUOTE:

This is such a great quote. What it says is true the only way to get something done is by doing it. And if what you want to be is successful than you have to work hard for it because dreaming will not get you nowhere in this world but hard work will.

3. Are Willing To Prepare

High achievers are willing to prepare for anything that comes there way, they are always ready tests or pop quizzes because they are prepared. Being prepared is very important especially for high achievers because you never really know how much being unprepared will affect you until you see the consequences for not being prepared. When you are prepared you ahead of the game, you’re not behind worried about how you’re going to catch up and keeping up with the work that they already have. Being prepared also helps you accomplish your goals because you are able to plan ahead and make time for them and easily accomplish them without any rush.

Quote:

                  

This quote shows that when you’re prepared nothing will go wrong. Luck will be with you if you are prepared contrary to when you aren’t. When you are not prepared everything seems to be going wrong and you are most likely do something wrong, that is why it is always important to be prepared.

4. Are Willing to Risk Failure

Not everything you do will be successful, sometimes we are going to fail but just because we fail we shouldn’t give up. Failure may not feel great but there is always something that can be learned from it, we must always look at the possibilities of thing and know that we might possible fail. I’m not saying be negative, but we should keep in our mind that there is always a possibility of it. Failure is not always bad it teaches us how to do better, what changes we need to make and makes us look at things from a different view. Even if we fail we can always go back retry it that is the best thing, if we fail one or twice, when we go and do it again we will know what to do to not mess up again. For example inventors, do you think that every invention comes out perfect the first time? Of course not that is why they call it a prototype because they know that there is always the possibility of their invention failing and even if their invention does fail they don’t just give up on it, they find other ways to make it better until it is perfect.

QUOTE: 

I like this quote because it shows that you must always be willing to take risks even if you know that you might fail at it. Failure is risk taking and taking risks can take you far, it can really teach you things. Failure is also another way to learn when we fail we learn how to do things better and also to never give up because you will get where ever it is that you are trying to reach, it doesn’t matter how many times you fail what matters is that you keep trying and that you don’t give up on it.

5. Are Teachable

If you want to be a high achiever and be successful then you8 have to be willing to learn. To be a high achiever you need to listen to people and let them teach you things because they have experience and they can tell you what mistakes they made or how they dealt with a problem. You can learn some many things from other people experiences. It’s important that you can be taught and you’re not being ignorant or rude when someone is trying to teach you something. Also when you learn from a young age you will not feel or stressed out when problems present themselves in the future. You must also learn to take advice and know who to take advice from because sometimes the wrong person can give you wrong advice. When learning from someone, anything, I think it is always important that that person has experience and that they have faced problems because this way they can really give a sense of whatever you trying to learn is like.

Quote:

6. Have Heart

What this is saying is that high achievers need be kind, being kind is a virtue that we all need to have. When we’re kind to people we make people feel good and we also make ourselves feel good too. When you are a kind person who does the right thing many people like and also they look up to you but if you’re choosing the wrong and being greedy, nobody is going to want to be around you. To have heart can also mean that you take the time to help someone out or listen to them if that’s what they need. Another way to show you have heart is to show passion and determination on your goals, we must not let anything get in the way of us achieving our goals and making our dreams come true.

Overall Reflection: These six attitudes will help me become a high achieving person. I will incorporate these six pillars in to my daily life and strive to become the best high achiever I can be. I think that with these six attitudes anyone can become a high achiever and have a great future. I have confidence that I will become a high achiever when I grow up. I will also need to set my goals and work hard to achieve each and every one of them, no one said that it would be easy but I am sure that with hard work and dedication I will make it. One of the Six Attitudes that I like is Do What They Fear. I like this one because everyone needs to be willing to take risk and do what they fear. If we only stay in our comfort zone we won’t learn new things and truly see what the world has to offer.

Way to Be

9 Ways to be Happy and Make Something of your Life

Gordon B. Hinckley

1. Be Grateful

Grateful Quote:

Being grateful is a virtue that we must all have. When we are grateful we show how thankful we are for the things that we have and for the people that are around us. When we show the people around us that we are grateful we make them feel good and we ourselves feel good too. We must all be thankful for what we have because there are other people out there that have much lesser things in the world and they are also happy and thankful. We must be satisfied with thing and how they are, it’s never bad to want more but we should all be thankful for the things we have now.

2. Be Smart

Quote:

I like this quote because it has truth to it. Smart people know when to stop something they know when have reached their limits but dumb people never know when to stop. When you know when to stop you will keep out of trouble of course you also have to be smart and keep out of doing wrong things. Everything has its limits when you know where they are and when to stop you are being smart but if you are doing something foolish things that will get you nowhere and you don’t stop you will end up going nowhere in life. I want to make sure that if I do go pass the limits and push myself it will be for something that is going to get me to great places and a good life not something that would make me end up in jail. We all have to push ourselves but we mustn’t push the limits because that is where we go wrong.

3. Be Involved in Good Works

Quote:

I like this quote because it shows that in life you have to get involved and make an effort to get to good places. It also shows that you are not always going to succeed on your first try but you have to keep on pushing and not give up because there are hard things in life but if it’s for a better future then it will always be worth it. For example I want to go to college but getting there is not an easy thing to do I have to put in a lot of effort and get involved in my school work, but hard work always pays off. We must all be wise and pick to get involved with good works because they are the ones that lead to a better future. When you get involved with the wrong people you are going to end up in a bad situation with bad consequences. No good come from getting involved with the wrong people. In order for you to be involved in good works is to be involved with good people.

4. Be Clean

Quote:

The way I see this is quote is that it’s saying that in this world there are many bad things and it is hard to stay away from all the bad things and people in the world. But even though there are all these bad influences around us it is up to us to make sure that we stay clean from them. We must all stay away from drugs, alcohol, and bad language. Everything that leads to no good we must stay away from them because they will lead us to no good. we must all choose the right always and stay away from things that will only bring you bad consequences. even though there will be times when it is going to be hard to stay clean we must always push away the bad and accept only the good, because the good is what will lead us to a good future and a good life.

5. Be True

Quote: 

I like this quote a lot, it talks about how in this world there are always going to be influences that are going to change you. But it’s really up to you to make the right choices and make sure that you change for the better and not for the worse. This has to do a lot with the people around us; they are our main influences so we must make sure that the friends we make are good people, people who are not choosing the wrong just the right. When we associate ourselves with people who do good things and don’t get themselves in trouble, we are influenced by them to do the same thing. When we choose to make friends with people who are choosing the wrong, we are most likely to do the same thing. It is our choice who we make friends with whether it’s someone who chooses the right or someone who chooses the wrong, but no matter what we must all stay true to who we really are. Even if there are people around us who are not the best influence you need to stay true to who you really are and not do things that will lead to a bad path. 

6. Be Positive

Quote:

I think this is a good quote referring to being positive. Being positive is what we all must do, being positive gives us motivation to do things and not quit on them so easy. When we have a positive attitude toward our goals, we are more likely to accomplish them because we already have it in our mind that we are determined to do whatever it takes to make them come true. We have to look at life with a positive attitude, when we do not we have nothing to motivate us to try and make a better life, or to set goals for ourselves. We must also be positive ourselves because then we motivate the people around us and make them want to be positive too instead of just being negative and not doing anything with their life. I want to be a positive person and always have a positive view on things even if they are problem or obstacles because being positive helps me overcome them faster. 

8. Be Still

Quote:

We all have to learn to be still. Patients’ is something that we all need in our lives. To be still for days, months or even years will come in handy to us. When we’re still we see the things that going on around us we see what we couldn’t before. We understand more on why we are where we are because we are able to reflect on what our actions have been. When we are able to see what we couldn’t before our eyes open up to new possibilities in life. When we are still we see things more clearly, we can see the consequences better than we doing things out of rage and sadness. This is my idea of what being still means, I’m not sure it’s the right one but I’m sure that it’s not the only one. In my opinion I think this is a good definition of what it means.

9.Be Prayerful

These nine ways made me realize that there are many things that I need to work on to become a better successful person. They are going to be me guidance to a good future. I want to apply these nine ways and see how far they are really going to take me. I know that along the way there are going to be challenges blocking my way but I will always get through them doing the right thing and not cheating my way out of them. I think these nine ways really can help you get somewhere good in life, but many people in today's society don't follow the nine ways because there is so much cheating and greed that they see so they think that that is the only way for them to become successful. I to want to become someone successful but I want to become someone successful by doing the right things. I don't want to become a greedy person who always cheats people into getting what they want, no, I want to be some one who people can look up too and be "wow, I want to grow up to be like her."

Commitment

I like this quote because it explains that through commitment you can make anything happen. If you are committed than nothing will stand in the way of you doing what you want to do. Commitment also takes determination, and sometimes it might get very hard but it is always worth doing what you want because when you are committed and determined you can do anything that you set your mind too. Commitment is a trait we must all have, when we have commitment along with goals that we want to get done, no matter what happens they will get done. Our goals will take us places, they are out plans and our future, and we all have to be determined to accomplish them.

PDQ

“The key to freedom is obedience. The more obedient we are, the more freedom we have.”

-Boyd K. Packer

I remember one time my mom told me to meet her at the hospital at one pm, but I got there really late and I missed my appointment. My mom was really mad at me for being late she told me that I should have been obedient and gotten there at the time she told me to. After that my mom didn’t trust me to do thing for a long time and I hated that. I get that sometimes things get on our way and we aren’t able to do things when we have to or we aren’t able to follow someone’s directions from some reason, but being obedient is best thing that you can do. When you are obedient and you do thing when you’re supposed to do them and you’re supposed to do them people trust you and to thing with more liberty because you have showed them how responsible you can be. When you’re not obedient people don’t trust you and they don’t give you as much liberty to do things as opposed to when you are.

A Smile J

Definition: Form one’s features into a pleased, kind, or amused expression, typically with the corners of the mouth turned up and the front teeth expose.

I really like this quote because I think that this quote really shows how people feel. Lots of times people think that life is being unfair with them and that nothing will get better, but that that’s not true. Life will always get better and this quote is kind of like showing that but in a humorous way, life doesn’t pick on you it might seem that way but it doesn’t. Life may get hard at some points but we just have to fight our way through those obstacles and get through them.

Responsibility

the state or fact of having a duty to deal with something or of having control over someone

I like this quote because it tells it how it is. If we take responsibility no matter for what it is, there will be good things coming our way. When we slack off and don’t take responsibility there will always be bad consequences for the things that you do. Being responsible is not only doing the right thing but it is also a benefit in life, when people see that you are responsible then know that they can count on you to get the job done and many doors open for you. When you are not responsible doors shut in your face, people are not going to want someone who doesn’t know or doesn’t want to take responsibility. This is why we all need to be responsible, because it benefits us in more than one way it takes us down the path of success.

“Decisions Determine Destiny”

-Thomas S. Monson

This is a very important quote; this quote has a very important message in it. This quote tells us that our decisions will determine where we’re going to go in life, down a good path or a bad one. I think this quote is one that we should all apply to our lives because it’s a very smart quote to live by. When people make right decisions they start going down the smart path in life. When they decide to stop doing bad thing and start choosing right decisions they head down the path of success. If you are a person who makes right decisions and you have good life the people around you will notice how much better right decisions are and they will start to make good decisions as well. Making right decisions won’t just benefit you it will also benefit the people around you.
