Becoming Your Best

The 12 Principles of Highly Successful Leaders


1. Be true to character 
2. Use your imagination
3. Apply the power of knowledge
4, Never give up
5. Find peace and balance
6.Live the Golden Rule
7. Build and maintain trust
8. Quick to listen slow to wrath
9. Lead with vision
10. Manage with a plan
11. Do what matters most
12.Be accountable



1. Be true to character

2. Use your imagination 

            The second most important principle is to be a highly successful leader is to have an imagination. You need to be creative, and think outside the box. Think big and crazy, challenge yourself to better and think better. For example, to be a team leader you must indeed need to be responsible and reasonable about the cool activities, project's or events that you want to plan out. However, into doing so you always have to keep in mind that you want to be noticeable and stand out based on your great creations. You want people to look at you as role model who can do anything great. A leader who works hard. smart and productive to do immense things. Therefore, think big and go big because that's what'll make you become the best. An overall is what'll make you stand out to be the next team leader to lead your group into thinking just like you, having an imagination and being creative. After all that's what life and business is all about . So i encourage everyone to step outside the box and have imagination to do great, big things!



3. Apply the power  of knowledge

It is important to be educated because with education comes an opportunity. It may be an opportunity for a job, to volunteer, or to become a leader. Believe me anyone with the proper knowledge can create many things by accomplishing many. Meaning if you have the desire to learn and then perhaps become a teacher. Then do so because not only will it bring to you a great sense of knowledge but you will also be giving somebody else a sense of knowledge. So don't miss the opportunity to learn and teach someone something new because they and you too will be missing out on a life time opportunity to become someone . For example, president Barrack Obama became a president after learing some much and gaining so much knowledge in politics.



I will apply principle number three by continuing to read. Finding something to productive to do. Or by educating students who are younger than me. To increase somebody's else's knowledge and expand what they know or don't already know.

4.Never give up

It is important to visualize your self accomplishing your goal because anything is possible. And you are capable of achieving anything if you set your mind to it. Just imagine yourself living in the dream and doing what you want to do. For the reason being that it is your life and it is up to you to decide what to do with it . So lead your life in the direction where you want to succeed and make goals and dreams come true. Never think to yourself that you can't do it because you can if you work hard and work smart you are capable of doing anything. Just don't loose the hope you have within yourself, never give up ! You are greatness waiting to happen so set your goals high and go after them, live your dream . Make your dreams come true and live up to them.


I will apply principle number four by trying my very best in everything that i do. I will not hold back and resit the temptation of making my dreams and goals come true. I will instead go after my dreams and goals and try to pursue them because i can and i will. Nonetheless, because i will not settle for failure. I will rather succeed far in life and be successful of my very own accomplishments then think and begin to feel regret.



5. Find peace and balance

It is important to make peace on earth rather than to continue to with hold violence in our society. For the reason being that if we continue to be violent towards one another. We will only continue to increase the rate of murder or death . Which is why we should be opposed to it and no longer continue to fight. We should instead create peace on earth and be kind to each other. Why create harm or problems to someone else. We are only harming each other when we should instead end violence.  By then having peace on earth;  there will be no riots, fights or battles. We instead live up to peace and avoid problems among other people. We will also in addition serve equal balance in regards to equality. By choosing to listen to both sides of the coin without further problems. 

  


I will apply principle number five by involving peace in my life. By stopping violence. By standing up for someone. By creating peace in my city. Persuading people to be kind and encouraging peace to everyone. Also by saying empowering quotes to someone because i care.



6.Live the Golden Rule

It is important to live by the golden rule if you want choose the right way which case is the key to success. The key to success is what will lead you to having high standards and goals for yourself. It will not only make you become an incredible leader and person within your own self but, it will also teach you to picture yourself in someone else's shoes. So that you can get an idea as to see their point of view or perspective because other people's opinions or feeling matter too. Just the same way yours do. So don't ever fail your self or make your self feel superior than others. For the reason being that you want others to treat you the same way you would like to be treated. Furthermore, principle number six is trying to teach you. To live in a caring, responsible, and diligent way. To do things right and live properly is what will lead you to the high road if you follow through with the Golden Rule.

 

I will apply principle number six by respecting others and being diligent towards others. For the same reason, because i would like to be treated with respect because my opinions should value as much as another persons values and opinions. 


7. Build and maintain trust

         Principle number seven is a very important prinicple everyone must follow. For the reason being that as you listening to someone else.  Whatever it maybe it gives them the idea and satisfaction that they can trust you and tell you just about anything. Which is important because not many people trust other's. So you'll be the very few to gain there trust. Just as long as you build your friendship and maintain your honesty. You will both gain each other  mutual respect.  For example, if i one of my friends told me one of their biggest secrets. I'd have to promise and make sure that i'd never say anything to know one about it. Otherwise she will no longer trust me or have confidence to tell me something otherwise.


       

I will apply prinicple number seven by staying true to all the friendships i have and never betraying them. For my friends and i have comed a long way to give up on our friendship now. Furthermore i will remain truthful to my values and other peoples value and will make sure that i build trust and confidence with others.


    


8. Quick to listen slow to wrath

   It is important be obedient and follow through with the right decisions. To prevent problems or trouble for you or anyone in that matter. Since after all with wrath comes rebellions. Which take a lead into doing what ever they want. Weather if that is doing something good or bad. Which ever the case it is always better to listen. For example, say some students are in class doing their work based on the instruction that there teacher gave them. However say someone was not listening nor following orders. Then they would ask to copy someone rather than to ask the teacher for help and next time listen. Although the person whom hes asked to copy doesnt want him to copy. Which caused the one who at first didn't listen to rebel and do what he pleases to get by with a passing grade. 


I will apply this is in my daily life by following direction and behaving well. Rather than avoiding to do my work and misbehaving, acting like a total animal in class. Like seen in the above pictures. I will not behave like picture one but like picture two instead.

 
    9. Lead with vision

        Principle number nine is the best principle of all principles that leads you to become a highly successful leader. Reasons are,  that it allows you to in vision your future. To see what it is that you would like to do or become. It could be based on a profession, career. Or it can also be based on your own self. For instance, if you would like to change and become someone better based on your actions and behavior. Then you can such as long if you in vision yourself in the future doing something positive. For example, if you're someone who is always angry over stressed . Then you could change that around if you start to in vision yourself being someone better. Whom everyone likes etc.



I will apply principle number nine by envisioning my future and working hard to accomplish my dreams and goals because i know i can reach them such as long if i work hard , work smart, and do it with commitment and determination. 

10. Manage with a plan

Set your self with a plan now. To visualize your future with it later. Dream big and imagine what are the great things you would like to do in life. Motivate and push yourself into striving for what you want. It may be a dream you would may want or a goal that you would like to accomplish. Either or you should always plan or for the most start to visualize the many things you have yet to accomplish. So by doing these things you must have to first set yourself an idea of what you would like to do. Next set this goal high and big. So that you can further on achieve it.



I will apply prinicple number ten by thinking of something that i would like to do. Next i will follow through with the steps the picture underneath represents. I will come up with an idea, plan my idea, and then take action!




11. Do what matters most

Do what matters most ! Is always very important to remember. For example, you should always put the things that are most important to you before anything and anyone. Like your health, family, and career. Then the things that come after that which are your friends, social life and activities. This is because you want to do things that are most significant to you first and then worry about the things that are least impoartant after. Another example, would be if i have an important test to do and i have to option to either study or hangout with friends. The most important should be study first and then go ahead and hangout with friends. Not the other way around. This is because my education and grade for my class and test value more and matter most than my social life. In which i can do any other day.
Important and urgent

I will use this chart above and guide my life through it to do the things that matter most to me before i do such things that aren't. For the sake of my benefit.

 

12. Be accountable
 It is very important to always be accountable because what we say and do matter. It also reflects on your actions so id suggest to be wise and hold peace within your self and others. As Guatama Budhha quotes,"Peace comes from within, do not seek it without." Meaning do things right don't break that peace bond that there is because so many good things can come about it. For example, you want to make sure your responsible and trustworthy. You also want to show this to get a great reputation out of yourself. So that people can have a great image and representation about you. 


I will apply this by being accountable to everything i say and do as the picture above states it. To guide myself from right and wrong in the right path.

Reflection:


  Throughout reading and learning more over in regards to the twelve principles of how to be a successful leader, i believe i have learned a lot.  One of the reasons is because it has teach me   methods and ways as to how to develop my strengths to be a highly successful leader. Which by the way were all really helpful . So without any doubt i have in mind i would most definitely recommend a friend or someone else to look over through these steps because it truly does work and is extremely helpful to know and remember. Lastly, without further or do i would like to say that these 12 principles have made an immense impact on my actions and, attitude, and behavior. Since it has teach me right from wrong.

Ten tips for Being More Truthful

Ten tips for Being More Truthful 

Barbara A. Lewis


Wife, Mother, Religious worker, National award-winning author and educator 

The Ten Tips

1. Make a commitment to tell the truth.
2. Tell someone about your commitment.

             Can you imagine yourself achieving a goal you always keep in mind? For example, i know i do, one goal i always keep in my mind is to achieve straight (A's). No C's. D's, or F's. They won't get you any where near as to passing the class. They also won't look good on your college resume application. Therefore, the things i do to achieve my straight (A's) is simply by staying committed to being focused. No distractions, no procrastination's . There the least of help honestly that's why i don't take my chances and instead focus on work, or school work. That is the number one priority that i have therefore, i should be doing well in school. Nonetheless, to say all my my family has gone to college and have receive great grades. Moreover, i do tell my family about my commitment's to going to college so that they can stay my hard work and dedication as to how eager I'm willing to go to college. That is why i strongly encourage everyone to set a goal, keep it in mind, try to strive for that goal and stay committed. I guarantee you above all that it will bring your chances to achieving that goal a lot closer. 

 

                  Commitment is a great tip to keep in mind to help you always stay focus and achieve your dreams and goals. If your just decide , commit and succeed. The result will show just how dedicated and committed you were.

3. Think before you give a dishonest answer.

              Lieing is never good so don't ever do it or think about doing it. The problem will only get worse and complicated. Try telling the truth. I promise that you'll suffer less consequences than you would lieing. Only because when you tell a lie people loose trust in you and question again if they should ever trust you. In addition, when your honest and tell the truth you'll gain people's trust. Therefore, i strongly encourage you to be honest. It will lead you towards the right way of doing good. An example, to be more clear would be if you cheated on exam from a partner and the teacher's questions how you did so well or if you copied? Your response should be the truth such as what you did in copying your partner to pass the test. An then next time try to study harder on your own without the help of other's. Otherwise you may also even get the other person i trouble . So above all be honest to everyone including yourself. Don't try to cheat yourself!



    

I will apply tip number three from the ten tips of advise that Barbara Lewis suggest by being honest to everyone including myself. Doing good and choosing what's right because in the end i know it'll all come down to me so i'd prefer to do what's right and gain people trust in me . Rather than to lie and have the stare of untrustworthy.




4. Be careful of when and how you use exaggeration, sarcasm, or irony.

                       Tip number four is a great tip that advice's one to be careful of when they say such things. For instance Barbara Lewis gives an example of exaggeration, sarcasm or irony. She advice's us to be aware of how we interpret these words in are context. Otherwise, one may deal with serious problems. With that being said use these words in a proper context and be wise on how you say them or who you say them to. For the reason being that you cannot act in such a way towards your boss, manager, doctor and so forth because it is not a proper manner. Also because you need to maintain boundaries and limit to a certain extend , not to far comfortable treating them the way you'd like.


I will apply tip number four by being aware of how i say things and to whom i say them to.



5. Be careful not to twist the truth or leave out part of it. 

              Make sure never to "sugar code' anything. It'll only make things complicated an make your situation more complicated than it already is. Therefore, you should speak the truth and be wise on how you say it . Because sometime's if one tells the truth but doesn't say the whole truth it could lead to someone becoming suspicious about them or can also lead to the though of trust. That is why if one must tell the truth without leaving any information out. 
In addition, telling the truth will help you stay relieved because in the end their bound to find out so might as well just come out with the truth and just say it. However be gentle , you may not know how people may take it. 

 




I will apply tip number five by speaking the truth and not leaving any sort of information out. That goes to everyone. I will also apply this tip into my daily life by honest to people even if that mean it'll hurt them . However, i will be gentle into doing so because one may never know what can go wrong.

 


6. Don't indulge in little white lies. 
         
                  Be careful in what you say and make sure that what you say is true . Don't ever fall in white lie's no matter the circumstances. It won't help you get rid of a situation. Nor will it help avoid the situation which is why you must come-front it and tell the truth otherwise you will be known as a liar and no one would ever believe you again. People will also talk about your white lies and share them with other's which will cause your reputation to be ruined. Also, an example of how not to indulge in a white lie would be if a group of kids were cheating in an exam and had the exact same answers. The teacher will call them up to see if they were cheating or if they'll deny that they weren't cheating. Which one would you choose. Or much rather which one should you choose? Denying or telling the truth? In this case tip number six is telling you not to indulge in little white lies therefore, you will choose to admit in telling the truth. 




7.  Watch out for silent lie's.

                Do you ever know or not know when someone's lying to you, because i know i do. I can tell by a person behavior. The way the move there body in such a way, or how they pause to much to think. I however don't say much i just watch and observe how far they'll take the lie into a much bigger lie. Although i do question what they sometimes to see if they'll continue lying or tell the truth.  Then if they do tell the truth i'll smile with the thought of them doing what's right. On the other hand, if do not stop lying i will give them a much more frank and serious look of unpleasantly. Although over all above all i believe little white lies are no good and there surely not nice so why do it i say? Do something good that you mean to say other wise don't say anything at all . Now without being said i suggest for everyone to stop with the little white lies that will do you no good.


I will apply tip number three by being aware of those who surround me with white lies and keep myself away from them and the white lie's. Since they will certainly do no one no good.



8. When you catch yourself lying, throw your mouth into reverse. 

"If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people." This is a well written quote from Virginia Woolf because it's states a true fact. Which is if your not honest with your own self about the things you do or achieve then when are you honest? You must certainly not be honest or sincere with other people because you not honest within your own self. So what will make people believe you? Therefore, trying getting used to the habit of being true to yourself first and then to other's. Other wise follow tip number 8 ,"When you catch yourself lying, throw your mouth into reverse. Meaning stop and react and change what you about to say into something more sincere you actually going to say or should say. Do not fool your self for being someone your not , be honest and have integrity to doing what's right because that's the best thing to do. 

  


I will apply tip number 8 by staying true to myself and by being honest not only to my own self but to other's as well because is the right and correct thing to do.





9. Talk to yourself.

        Tip number nine helps you stay truthful to yourself. Meaning it allows you to think to if you're doing a good job, or choosing the right 24/7. Therefore, ask yourself and take sometime to think about that. Are you or are you not choosing the right or cheating yourself. For example, if you didn't do you homework and the teacher asks you,"where is your homework?" You can either choose to lie and say i did do it but it's not with me or i didn't do it that's why it's not with me. Either or the decision is all your's. All you have to do is talk to yourself about what you think you should do. So, i strongly encourage everyone to talk to themselves as a way think wisely about their decision. I guarantee it will help you make a wiser decision. 


I will apply tip number nine by addressing my decision first in the way of using tip number nine by talking to myself to see if the decision im making is best or not. Also to see what consequence's will occur if i choose the wrong. However, i will use this tip for it's best interest which is to make a wise decision. 

 

10. Treat yourself when you tell the truth.

               It is important to recognize when your being most truthful and sincere because it allows you to recognize if you are choosing the right and doing the right based on your actions. Therefore, i will strongly encourage that when you do recognize this sort of action you confront and say your self that you've done very well into choosing the right. Also maybe give yourself a tap in the back for a good work ethic. Or perhaps treat yourself with a good treat say maybe an ice cream or other candy because believe it or not when you treat yourself you feel much better and much more confident that you'll continue with the progress of developing the truth naturally. I guarantee it therefore choose the right and pass it on. Tell other's to good so that they can also in return feel better about themselves and develop their speaking the truth skills to furthermore, be able to treat themselves the way they would like. 


I will apply tip number ten by being most truthful in such way to make me feel better for myself. To furthermore feel like iv'e done well through out my experience in choosing the right. So that i can later on spoil myself in return for doing such a good job in choosing the right.




Reflection:

Throughout the ten tips of being more truthful i have developed a variety of techniques of how to be truthful to other but also how to be most truthful and sincere to myself. Therefore i can reflect and all of my actions and see how i can choose the by most most honest. Over all i also learned many strategies and examples of how i can apply each tip to my daily routine habit. So that i can further on develop all these tips and techniques alone. However one tip that i would say stuck to me most would be tip number nine. TALK TO YOURSELF. I  believe this tip is very useful in the sense of it making you think and reflect if the choice you have made is right and appropriate. In addition, i will apply all these tips in my life planning goals. By be wise on my decisions and thinking if it's right or best for me to do so.
