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 to be clear and depend on what you want to be and what you want to become. its important because you have to have a clear understanding of things are you would fail or things or struggle. people who have no clarity and they wouldnt be or have a clear understanding. 

Key 2: Competence

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

Competence is very important because when you do something very good or better then other than you could probably get paid for what you do. You have to be committed to becoming better at something because if not then you wont succeed in life. 

Key 3: Concentration

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

Do get your work done you have to be focused and concentrate and things will be get done. Its best to get started as soon as possible rather wait for the last minute. Things are best done when you have lots of time and you really focus on what you are doing. Also, if you should be doing homework or anything related to school but you're playing games and not doing your work then you are not being productive.

Key 4: Common Sense

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

Common sense is very important because that's what helps you during your lifetime. It defines what type of person you are. people should use common sense more often because common sense isn't that common. People lack common sense that why they get into trouble when they're doing things they aren't supposed to be doing. People such as young adults or even adults should think things through instead of proceeding because they might be getting themselves into lots of trouble.  

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."

When you're creative it would make a lot of things be more fun and faster. people would start paying attention to your creativity.  A lot of recognition would take place because of your creativity. 

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 means careful thought over a period of time. take consideration into certain people. make the right choices that would better yourself and the things around you. do not do foolish things such as do drugs or get messed up at some party. think long and hard about your decisions in life because the things you do online and in real life, determines the type of person you are and you do not want a bad reputation on your name because that makes it hard for you to do certain things such as get a job and do other activities. 

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.."

Try to stay consistent with your work because it would be an everyday thing and it would be part of your daily routine. once you start doing it over and over again then you would be more better and a lot quicker at your job. You wouldn't seem like its a hassle to doing your work. you do the same thing over and over again until you get the hand of it. its becomes way more easier and a lot faster. this key would help you during work or school related.  

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."

You have to stay committed and you will achieve so many goals. you got to stay focus because times get tough and you might have some distractions but keep your eye on the prize. things will get better and things will pay off. Hard work and dedication always pay off later on in life. Stay committed and you will reach your goals. 

Key 9: Courage

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

You cant be scared to fail or mess up. you have to get back up and learn from your mistakes. everyone fails, in order to learn you have to make mistakes.. the only thing people should be doing is learning for mistakes because us humans make a mistake everyday but we dont continue making that same mistake, we learn from the past and improve upon ourselves. Fail 100 times and then the next day you will learn 100 more things.

Key 10: Confidence

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

Confidence is an important feature to have. it shows you that you know what you're doing and your the best at what you're doing, have some confidence and have some courage. with those two things they can really take you places in life. probaby earn a new job that you like just because you have some confidence. Believe in your self. make sure you know you could do good .

Reflection

I think the key that i really like and that is going to help me a lot in life is key number 8, commitment. i think when you are really committed for greatness or for success you are more than likely to achieve that goal. Be committed and you will see what happens. You could be committed to get a 4.0 gpa and you will see all the good things that will come with that. you could be number one in the class or get a letter from college. there are perks for your commitment so commit to something good and great things will happen.  

Winter brealk

In my winter break, i was around my family and friends the whole time. It was really fun and relaxing. i wish it was a little longer but i would take what  i could get. on Christmas eve my family came over and we talked for hours and ate good foods. My family kept telling stories about what happened to them in the past and they were funny. My favorite cousins came and that what made it more fun. On new years eve the same people came over and we ate and had good laughs. It was a nice bonding experience and just a good time overall.

Class evaluation

  One of the things that I enjoyed about this class is how Mr. Haymore always had a smile on his face. His class is just filled with good vibes so i cant feel the negativity.Whenever i'm sad, as soon as i enter his room I automatically become happy. I really like how he prepares us for our future and and wants us to succeed in life.Another thing I liked was how Mr. Haymore helped us interact with one another. Because of what he did I gained a lot of new friends.

A couple things i don't like about his class is that he does the same thing but that could be good but it gets kind of boring so its sometimes not interesting. There isn't really things i don't like about his class. i really like coming into his class and to learn a new technique or skill i could use in my future. Mr hay more is a good teacher and people should respect his opinion.

I believe Mr haymore could add a little more enthusiasm. i would like for him to make the class a bit more exciting. i would want the class to be fun and for me to love going to this class and also other classmates.

I don't really think i have a highlight, i didn't really get the chance to show my potential.

To be honest i didn't give it my all this class, i could've done more and gave it more. i could've wrote more things and tried even more. If i did my best i wouldve reached to my goal and reached to the A+.

 I'm committed to becoming a CTR person and to constantly seek Personal Development because it will help me become a better person. And i will sucssed in the future. And i will never forget about Mr. Haymore becuase hes very hard to forget. And i will thank him because hes making me ctr while i stll have the chance also this is were i choose who to be and hes helped me a lot.

Innovation electric vehicles 

I believe electric vehicles is good because they're trying to make places a lot cleaner and safer for the environment. you should buy a electric car because its safer and more beneficial for you. it would safe you money because you don't have to stop by a gas station. It only takes one ride in a battery-powered car to understand the improved ride quality of an EV compared to a vehicle using a petroleum-powered internal combustion engine. All you have to do is pull into your garage or driveway, reach over for a plug, and push it into the charging inlet.

 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."

What this means is that you chose your path and you chose where you want to go. You decide what you want to do in life and the consequences that come with it. No one else can tell you what to do and how to live your life.People got to be a leader for themselves. they got to take charge and be a leader. yo have to take action and be controlling over your body. be responsible for yourself and know what you are doing. make good choices and be successful in life.

Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind

"Control your own destiny or someone else will." (Jack Welch)

You gotta control and maintain yourself. you gotta take control of what you do and how you do things. you can not let people take control and persuade you into situations you do not want to be in. Make sure you chose the right and always follow the good path because that what is going to lead you into success and its important to  be successful because everyone wants to earn money and have a good life.  you cant go anywhere without money. if you strive for the best then you wont have to listen to a boss. you could be the boss and tell people what to do. be your own boss and enjoy your time.

Habit 3: Put First Things First

"Organize and execute around priorities."   life is easy and we can do our things first if they are really important and then you will help others with their things we have to  be nice and treat others as we treat ourselves and never be selfish because if we have everything that we want we have to help others to take their dreams to be alive we have to be friendly and lovely and then you are going to see what god is going to do with your life because everything that you give to others god will pay you back for everything.

Habit 4: Think Win-Win

"Think win-win or no deal."

you always want to be a winner and to do that you have to think like a winner.

think win so you can possibly be a winner. when you think like a winner then they would give you an opportunity to work at your best and do what you can to succeed  

Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, then to be Understood

"Diagnose before you prescribe."

This is good because then you will know how the other person feels. We have to be nice to our friends or to our family members and when they need someone to talk to you should listen to what they have to say because that will mean a lot to them. Understanding other peoples problems is important because then that way you will find a way to help them. Just how when you pray to god you might not hear him but he is listening to what you are saying this is how we should all be with each other we should be able to understand one another. You should be the listener and listen to what someone has to say to you and then find some way to give them advice. Doing this shows that you care about other and that is good because we all need to care about something.
 



"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts (1+1=3)"
Habit 6. Synergize
 
          You have to be proactive at times and work with groups that would better yourself and your school work. Working in teams is a good thing to do because you will come up with ideas a lot faster and easier. You will only have to think about one thing instead of 3, this benefit you because you will not do a lot of things. Two heads are better than one  that way you can both come up wit something good. This is why in school we mostly do projects as two because if we were to do it alone it would be hard for some of us and for others it wouldn't. Don't challenge yourself and make it harder to come up with ideas.  Most successful people work as teams and they get really far in life because they have each other to help.


Habit 7:  Sharpen the Saw
Four Dimensions of Self-Renewal: Physical, Mental, Spiritual, Social/Emotional





Reflection: i believe these 7 habits are very beneficial for us to be very successful in life and how to prepare for the real life 

Importance of setting goals

Its important to set goals because it can make you successful in life and make you earn lots of money. When you really strive your goals and actually achieve it, you are going to feel better and might want to accomplish another goal so it is a positive mechanism to do and easy.Its a positive way to get better at life and you know what you are striving for. You can get better in life just by writing down goals.You can write down long term goals or short term goals. as long as they are good and good for you. you have to work towards what you want. I've experience it myself, example tutoring, the teachers want come around asking you " hey there, you need help?", in reality you have to do things yourself. its true what people say, "if you want things well done, do it yourself!" That's the way things work nowadays and that's how it'll keep going from now on. The only person that can really help you is your parents and yourself period.
