Pyramid of Success

John Wooden

Block 1: Industriousness 

"In plain and simple english this means hard work. Very hard work. There is no substitute for very hard work when it comes to success."

What this is telling us is that nothing beats hard work and it is hard work that can beat anything. industriousness is the work done with heart, love, and and endless perseverance, this industriousness gets you jobs you want, a successful path for your future, and joy. When people dont like what they do for a living they get depressed and stressed and can possibly shorten ones life but with a little bit of heart in your work you will be proud of what you accomplish to get to where you want to be. an example would be a someone working 12 hours a day and loving there job, and every minute of that job is filled with hard work and perseverance, so in the end the person is happy. 

\

Block 2: Enthusiasm

"it is the engine that powers all blocks of the pyramid. it is why i choose industriousness and enthusiasm as the cornerstones of my pyramid of success. it is where everything begins."

what this is saying is that the origin of success would be enthusiasm because most of the key components of success deal with industriousness and enthusiasm and if either are missing in your work then you will not become successful or happy in your success. enthusiasm brings happiness and reality into work, it will help encourage you to work harder and become the very best at what you do. With a little bit of practice and enthusiasm you can accomplish almost anything. An example of enthusiasm is a child ready to go to school and the student walks out of his house enthusiastic about the quiz the student will take instead of being bummed out, the child has a better chance of passing that quiz than the students that aren't enthusiastic.

Block 3: Friendship

"Comes from mutual esteem, respect and devotion. Like marriage it must not be taken for granted but requires a joint effort."

Friendship is like a bond between two beings that inputs trust, reliability, and dedication in that bond. A friendship is what companies use to keep themselves successful because they rely on allies to get the word about their company out and so those relationships are what keeps a lot of things going. Friendships are extremely important because just having a friend brings a lot of benefits to you, such as lending, helping physically, emotionally helping, and just helping you build character. Friendship is like the sun and the plants, they get along well and the sun helps the plant to grow and so that the plants may help others, its a beautiful relationship that could be considered a friendship.

Block 4: Loyalty

"To yourself and to all those depending on you. Keep your self-respect."

Loyalty is friendship on a whole other level, loyalty is staying even when the odds are against you, loyalty is to be there when they need you, loyalty is sheer will to stay with those you want to stay with.

Block 5: Cooperation

"with all levels of your co-workers. Listen if you want to be heard. Be interested in finding the best way, not having your own way."

Cooperation is a combination of determination and willingness, cooperation can accomplish many things, and not just small things, but really big things like skyscrapers. Cooperation leads to partners and friendships and many accomplishments, cooperation is to work together to achieve something great and is also the collaboration of many people or animals to get there works worth. An example of cooperation is a relationship with two partners willing to make it work and so their cooperation will get them far in life while still having each other.

Block 6: Ambition

for noble goals

Ambition is the best motivation a human can have, and is the best goal setter out there. ambition helps us by allowing us to follow what we chose to follow, it is almost the foundation but works almost like it. with ambition many things can be accomplished and only what you would want to accomplish in order to achieve your goal. ambition is a feeling that you get when you know what you are looking for, it is that subtle yet fierce energy for what you think you will possibly achieve. An example of ambition is someone going out to sea to find the greatest treasure known to man and he is determined to find it in order to become king of the pirates and nothing will get in their way.

Block 7: Self-Control

"practice self-discipline and keep emotions under control. Good judgmental and common sense are essential."

Both 8: Alertness

"be observing constantly. Stay open-minded. Be eager to learn and improve."

Block 9: Initiative

"Cultivate the ability to make decisions and think alone. Do not be afraid of failure, but learn from it."

The 10 Keys to Personal Power

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."

What this means is to have a clear mind and have a plan for yourself for the future or you  will end up losing in life and more so working for those who do succeed. Having a goal in life should be motivation and it should be clear what you want, you should know what you will do or at least try to do, to have clarity one must start with a plan and then must chase that dream no matter how hard it may get. For example a man has a plan for his future and hen can see what he wants clearly in his head and he will be more successful in life that the person that does not make a plan.

Key 2: Competence

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

What this is telling you is that hard work work really pays off and will lead you to a better path as you continue to work harder. the key is to work tom your full potential and to be dedicated in what you want to do. to have competence one must first have a goal in mind then the person must strive to reach this goal and work extremely hard to get to that goal, if no hard work is done then the goal really doesn't mean anything and you have failed to be competent. An example would be a someone that has a dream and he really wanted to make that dream a reality, he works towards that dream and as he works harder he ends up with his dream and more because of how hard they worked.

Key 3: Concentration

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

What this means is that you must focus on what you want to do and completely put your mind to that, its about dedication to what you want to do and you must be willing to sacrifice to keep your eyes on the prize. It takes great skill to make time for what you want to do but you must always stay focused on your goal because if you get sidetracked you will fall form your position that you wanted to be in. A great example would be a person that is always getting distracted and he set himself u-p to fail but he then got his things together and is now focusing on his goal and will be successful because of his focus and concentration.

Key 4: Common Sense

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

What this means is that you must use your knowledge to your conscience and really just make sense of everything. Having common sense is a a good thing and the easy things can really be interpreted using common sense, this is what separates us from right and wrong. common sense helps us make sense of the world and make everything much clearer. to have common sense you must first have a clear mind distant from any distractions and you must be thinking clearly and as well as knowing what the right thing is and the wrong as well but to make sure not to apply the wrong. An example of common sense is a basket of baby ducks are about to fall of a hill and you have an opportunity to save them, you obviously help them, its common sense to help if you have a chance.

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."

What this is telling us is that there is beauty in everyone and everything because we all posses great power and its powers that make us who we are. this is saying that asking questions is the foundation of creativity and it all starts with a "what if?" creativity is an art we all posses and we use creativity to express emotions and to tell stories, it is many things and can be a way of communication. creativity is very important because life is journey and it keeps us entertained throughout this journey. An example of creativity is a man writing a book and he doesn't want to use normal people so he uses his imagination to make humans with parts from animals and called them beasts.

Key 6: Consideration

"the quality of your relationships with other people will determine your success in life."

"develop the skills you need to become a better communicator. take courses in listening, speaking, ect."

"if you were able to learn one new word a day, within 5 years, you'll be the best educated person in history."

what this is telling us is that if you have good communication skills and you are a considerate person then you will go far in life. being considerate will make bonds and will help you achieve what you want to do in life. you must be able to consider all possible outcomes in your future and you must prepare for those possible outcomes. a good example of consideration is a man meets someone on the street and he is in need so the man before pulling out his wallet he considers all possible outcomes and looks for an escape route and so the man was considerate enough to give the person some cash.

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.."

What this is telling us is that it is good and healthy to work consistently because having fast work all of a sudden is unhealthy and could affect your work ethics. to be consistent in a relationship you must keep building bonds with people and continue that until you are successful  and have everything you want and still keep those relationships. A good example of consistency is someone that has a schedule and has a time for every activity throughout the day, he doesn't change the schedule, he keeps doing the same thing and it worked out for them because they had time for everything and didn't tamper with the formula of their schedule.

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."

What he is telling us is that you cant go anywhere if you are not committed to go, if you feel like its a choice then you will most likely not succeed. You must feel like it is a must in order for you to succeed, to be committed means to sacrifice for something, whatever you may be committed to and just stay with that wave onto the road of success. An example of commitment is someone aiming to become a doctor, and this person thinks it would be easier to become a dentist, but he does not give up on what he want to become, instead he works harder to achieve his goal.

Key 9: Courage

"the fear of failure is the single greatest reason for failure in life."

This is really important because having courage can bring you places, sometimes unexpected places but they all work out in the end. to have courage, one must be fearless. just forget about the unknown and focus on what you do know, courage is a strength given to push the impossible, is this that gives us the ability to move forward in life. courage revolves around ones mind and thought process, this helps to do what we would normally not do. An example of courage is a warrior goes to the princesses castle because they are being attacked by a mighty dragon, he is scared to face the beast but he finds the courage to confront the beast and slay it.

Key 10: Confidence

"You only get confidence by doing things over and over again."

Confidence is extremely important because it is confidence that allows us to succeed and make great decisions in our life. confidence bring us closer to the real world, it is to want and it is ambition. We would not be anything without confidence, without confidence, we would not be in the amazing era of technology because people would to afraid to experiment or to try and fail. Only by failing will great achievements come to meet reality, most do not understand that confidence is driving us towards a better future, a more successful one too. An example of confidence would be someone that is afraid to go to the interview because she does not want to get rejected but she finds the courage to be confident in what she will accomplish in the interview and for the future, so she goes and confronts the board with massive confidence.

Reflection

These 10 keys that Brian Tracy has given us can help us succeed in life and to make ourselves better humans, we all need discipline to push us to do our best. The keys that i am applying to my life right now are creativity, consistency, and common sense and they have helped me make the right decisions, because following the rules isn't always right and just thinking with your own mind and not by some book. I will incorporate the other keys in my plans for the future by having a business plan to make every right decision and once in a while take breaks for my health and family.

 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 am responsible for my own happiness or unhappiness. I am in the drivers seat of my destiny. not just a passenger."

To be proactive one must first love being active and to do so you must first train and it all starts with dedication to want to love being active. Being proactive doesn't necessarily mean physically active, it could also mean being a part of something like a club for your community. Being proactive can bring many benefits such as having trust in others, meeting new people, and working on your own self confidence by surrounding yourself with active people. An example would be a man having nothing to do so he gets out of his comfort zone and goes to a church to be a part of his community.

Habit 2: Begin with the end in Mind

"Control your own destiny or someone else will." (Jack Welch) "When you know where you intend to end up, you know where you are now." (Covey)

Habit 3: Put First Things First

"organize and execute around priorities."

Habit 4: Think Win-Win

"Think win-win or no deal."

Habit 5: Seek first to understand, then to be understood

"diagnose before you prescribe."

What this means is that you must understand the process and what you do or want to know then become the expert on the subject or matter. It is extremely important to understand the process and to do so you must be willing to learn and then once gone to the basics you can advance and apply this new knowledge, you must understand everything and not just certain parts but how and why. The end step would be to become an expert which means you took the time to understand the process and the actual subject at hand. An example would be a student wanting to become a doctor however he must first understand the process and must want to learn more on the subject, so then he learns and studies and then he understood how to heal so he became a doctor.

Habit 6: Synergize 

"The whole is a greater than the sum of its parts (1+1=3)"

what this means is that it is a strategy in a way to get others to participate and to cooperate in such a way that everyone is in and is comfortable. This is truly working together as a group it is complete and has a work flow like no other, it is a way that others can work to there full capability and lead others. This word is like unity where everyone is on the same page and they are all working together to accomplish something. An example would be a group of friends are working on a project and they all know each other so they work more comfortably and efficiently and they are synergized with each others work.

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw

The four dimensions of self-renewal: Physical, Mental, Spiritual, Social/Emotional

What this means is that there are several aspects in which one must work upon in their life and must master these elements to truly be happy. These four dimensions work on you as a person and will help you improve on communication skills and to better love yourself and your environment which includes those around you. all of these dimensions work together to help you. an example of these would be going to church to help you socially, spiritually, physically, and mentally and they will all find a place where you will be comfortable and build skills to help you in the future.

How to win friends and influence people

Rule 1: become genuinely interested in other people

1.) "do this and you will be welcome anywhere"

2.) "you can more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get another people interested in you."

3.) "ask questions to other people, questions that they would enjoy answering."

This means that people will become interested in you if you do not do the opposite, you must be willing to like others before others can like you. You must be kind and friendly but most importantly, you must be open so that others may have a chance to get to know you and like you. What Carnegie talks about is having good friends can get you to many places and can also give you more friends to do what others like. An example would be asking the person a couple questions that are satisfying to answer then you build a bond unless you ask them something about yourself then that is not going to get friends.

Rule 2: Smile

1.) "actions peak louder that words, and a smile says "i like you. you make happy. i'm glad to see you"

2.) "you don't feel like smiling? then force yourself to smile."

3.) "it creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in a business, and the countersign (witness or indication) of friends."

What this means is that being happy is a major key. Even if you do not feel happy, just put a smile on your face and pretend so that you make other peoples day and that will come back to you. Smiling in itself will make you happy no matter the mood you are in. Smiling makes you feel good and it brings benefits not only to you but the people who see that smile, it may bring encouragement. An example would be a man smiling and he bring that into the coffee shop to pick up his drink and then the person handing you the drink feels inspired to smile harder than you.

Rule 3: Remember Names

1.) "A mans name is to him the sweetest and most important sound in any language."

2.) "if you don't remember names, you are headed for trouble."

What this means is that a persons name is very valuable and not only to the person but may also be valuable to others. As such a name should be treated with respect and should not be tarnished because a name is not to be taken lightly. To a man a name could be the reason he lives, there is pride in owning a name and some would say its a sense of accomplishment. An example of this would be a viking and vikings take everything they own and have have as a victory and so disrespecting that would be a terrible sin. The importance of this is to remember peoples names because it will take you far in life and it might help you better yourself socially.

Rule 4: Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves

1.) "if you aspire to be a good conversationalist, be an attentive listener."

2.) "remember that the man you are talking to is a hundred times more interested in himself and his wants and his problems that he is in you and your problems.

What this means is that being a good listener is important and useful, because you can make someones day or ruin it. Being a good listener is a skill that can help you do something more efficiently and not have to have others get annoyed and repeat themselves. Listening is a good skill to have and will make others like you as a person and can potentially give you friends in the process and listening can mean the difference of someone being happy and someone being sad.

Rule 6: Make the other person feel important- and do it sincerely 

1.) "The desire to be important is the deepest urge in human nature." (John Dewey)

2.) "Helping people feel important and appreciated works magic."

What this means is that making others feel important is just as important as keeping yourself healthy because that could help someones else's health and may benefit them in life for years to come. Feeling important or needed is a human necessity and is what keeps us from being depressed because we as humans need communication and what better communication than giving someone the pleasure of feeling needed.
