10 Keys to Personal Power -Brian Tracy
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."
Key 2: Competence
"If you commit to excellence, opportunities will always come your way. The harder you work, the better you get."
Competence is the ability to do something successfully or efficiently. When you commit you yourself to achieving a goal like to become a better active citizen and you accomplish that goal you were competence. You must always be competitive in life to get where you want to be. Commitment is all it takes for you to become someone in life. This semester I'm going to try my best to get straight A's and join football and this is one way to show competence. You can also show competence by showing your educational skills and use them for some thing positive.
Key 3: Concentration
"Making the best use of your time.Ask yourself "Is this the best use of my time?"before you start anything."
The action or power of focusing one's attention or mental effort. You must always manage your time and use it for good things. When you don't dont use your time for good things
Key 4: Common Sense
"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."
Creativity is something that everyone has but you must know how to use it. Creativity is the use of the imagination or original ideas, especially in the production of an artistic work, You must ask yourself when to use it ,you use it when you are doing a project,test, finding information(etc).Some people out there use there creativity on bad thing and those are the people that will never succeed in life.You must be better then them and CTR.
Reflection: What it means by to build and maintain trust is basically that it's important to have that trust communication with another human. But it also means that you building trust is the first step with you to having another special person in your life that you will have the ability to trust. AN example of to build and maintain trust is when you make a new friend and you do anything you possibly can in your power to make them trust you in a healthy matter,but an example of you building a trust and not able to maintain it and just let it fall apart if a different story. A way that i will apply this to my life is when i meet new people or try to amend my broken relationships with other people is to always build and maintain trust.
This is the last key to the 10 keys to personal power. Key number ten is about having confidence in what you produce(work) and in yourself. The definition of confidence, is the feeling or belief that one can relay on someone or something. An example of this quote would be when you're about to apply for colleges that are way out of your league, and you know that you're not going to make it in. You shouldn't feel scared to give it a try, instead you should have confidence and pride in yourself. Not many people have confidence in themselves and this makes it hard for them to succeed in life. One way you can be confidence is by practicing the same things over and over again and believing in yourself that you're an amazing person. The quote at the left side tells you how you just need to be yourself and be courageous because that will make you have full confidence of what is around you. Being yourself connects to having confidence because you don't care what other people have to say about you, instead you show them who's better. I can apply this key into my daily life by trying to have confidence every time I present in front of my classes.
