The Ten Keys to Personal Power
Brian Tracy
Key #1:
"Have vision. Determine what you want to be, do or have in life. Have a sense of direction and know where your'e going. If you do not have clear specific goals in life, you are doomed forever to work for other's who do."
Key number one is very important to follow if one want's to accomplish certain things in life. This affect's us by deciding what to do with our lives. Weather if that means figuring out a career path one's interested in or finding our self's in the highway direction which contains great character. In addition, key number one inspires you to vision your future and decide for yourself what you will do with it. Will you set your self some goals and try to accomplish them, or will you prepare yourself to do great? Nevertheless, it is important for one to know these concepts if they wish to have a good successful life. Otherwise, you'll be doomed as Brian Tracy states in his Key number one quote because you'll have no clear specific goals as to what you plan to do with your life. Which will then stop you from working well with other's or for other's who do know what to do.
Key # 2: Competence:
"If you commit to excellence, opportunities will always come your way. The harder you work, the better you get."
Key number two is an important key that one should always keep in mind. It advice's you to work hard and strive yourself for the very best. It also encourages you to be committed into doing your work. Not to settle down and procrastinate. For the reason being that if you work hard your mind, body, and soul you will find yourself to become a very successful person. So do your work, get better at what needs to be improved. Nonetheless, strive for excellency to allow opportunities to come your way. Or to allow other door's along your way to open for a new opportunity.
This key number two i will follow by being committed to doing my work. Doing things right and choosing to do the right. I will also apply this to my daily life routine by completing what needs to be done because one should never settle for less but strive for the best. It is the one can become success for long run in their future.
"Make the best of your time. Ask yourself" Is this the best use of my time?" Before you start anything."
Key number three is something one must always follow before they get lost into not knowing what to do. It advice's someone to stay focus rather than not to. It also shows examples as to how they can. One of the examples, is by asking yourself if your using your time wisely? Another is if your taking advantage of your time?" So when ever your given a duty to complete ask your self that very same question before you find yourself wrapped around a bundle of nothing. It will only take a way the use of time and stop you from completing a task. So i strongly encourage you to stay concentrated to make the best of your time.
I will apply this key number three by staying focus throughout the time when i have to complete a task or assignment. Also by staying focus and avoiding procrastination.
Key# 5: Creativity
"Except the fact that every human being is a genius. The hallmark of creativity is asking question. The people who are most creative ask the most questions."
Creativity comes from curiosity. Those who are curious and ambitious to seek knew things will do so in a unique way that distinguishes them from the rest. Making the ordinary extraordinary in a creative way. Moreover, people with curiosity have a high rate in success because it challenges their ability to do something new. This so on makes them to be known as geniuses who have an amazing mind set that differentiates them other's. It makes those who have creativity different from the rest because they see life and other things in a complete different perspective. Creating their world as another feature of art.
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 plays an immense important role in the lives of people. It makes people considerate of other's rather than themselves. It also makes another person's opinion value. For instance, if i have a project to do and i have to do a specific part. I would want to get that done to allow the rest of my group to continue working. More so, to get out of there way and let them proceed with the work to get it done. That is me taking care of my own responsibility's and taking into consideration other people's responsibility's.
I will apply this new key by showing to other's that i care. Along with proving to other's that their opinions value also. Inclusive to show other's that I'm there for them to give them a hand. In case if no one shows them consideration, i will.
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..."
It's, important for you to be consistent and do things right. You want to show people what kind of person you are. How responsible and mature you are. Along with proving what types of the things you are capable of doing. Challenge yourself for other's to see. Let other's see how they can depend and trust you on things. However, don't allow other's to always depend on you. Just be the person that people can go to to depend on when they need help.
I will apply this new key by always showing and proving to other's what i have the capability to do. To be an example for other's. To motivate other's to be someone like me. Also to prove to other's that they can depend on me for when ever they need help.
Key#8: Commitment
"No success is possible without commitment. The ability to commitment to yourself whole heartily is the basis of achieving all success."
"Become totally absorbed in your work. Be totally committed."
Being committed is an important rule one must always follow. It enables you to do your best and be determined. It also strives you to stay on task and complete your task. For instance, as a student i have a variety of responsibilities that i need to handle and complete. An example of me showing commitment is by attending school each day, doing my work and completing it. This shows my commitment to being the greatest student one can be. It also proves im determined to being a great student because im committed to doing my work in order to receive great grades and move on to my next course level. Therefore, i show committement in my work to be successful.
Key#9: Courage
"The fear of failure is the single greatest reason for failure in life."
Having courage is the best ability one can always have with in them. It helps you be brave rather than to be scared or afraid to do something. So learn to have courage and be courageous. Its the single greatest reason for failure in life. An to have courage has been proven to motive someone rather than to hold back someone from doing what they want to achieve. Therefore, i can encourage everyone out there to be brave and have courage. So that they won't be what they call a coward, or a wuss/chicken. Be someone courageous! This will define if you are capable to do what you want most. It also proves what kind of a person your. Meaning it determines if you are willing to keep up with your decisions and creating them reality. Set your goals high and be courageous enough to go and get the, to go and do them, to go and achieve them!
I will apply this new key into my life by having the courage to do what i want. Meaning if i can think of an idea that i want to do i should go and do it. Not hold back and regret my decision because it's something i want to do. Something i only want to achieve. Therefore, I'm going to start from this day forward to be someone courageous because no one can stop me from achieving my goals, dreams or decisions!
Key #10: Confidence
"You only get confidence by doing things over and over again."
Confidence is key to getting by things without being shy or afraid. It helps you feel comfortable into doing something. Weather if that is presenting with confidence. Meaning you feel comfortable presenting your topic because you've done it over and over therefore, you think you have it memorize and think will do great. Or it you have confidence to do such thing. For example, as teenager's we seem to have doubts within are selves sometimes based on certain things. Weather if that is questioning are own self if will get accepted into a great college or University after high school and so forth. Moreover, having confidence helps a person immensely. It makes the person feel better at what they do or will do. This helps a lot during an interview because it shows how well of a character you play. It also adds a bonus to the person whose interviewing you.
Key #10 is an incredible key one must always follow. It improves one's self-esteem and well doing therefore i encourage everyone to obtain confidence in their life. Don't be afraid or shy to try new things. Have confidence that you'll do great!
