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."
Make sure to get your things done. Do what you gotta do to succeed. Fake it till you make it. If you want to reach the top level of success, then you do you. Do the things that are best for you and of course don't satisfy yourself with small things. Aim for the big things. Don't stay underneath someone, surpass them for your benefit. If they can do it so can you.
Key 2:Competence
"If you commit to excellence, opportunities will always come your way. The harder you work, the better you get."
Competence- Being good at what I do, capable, effective
People should be eager to accomplish a certain task, no matter the situation it is what many people dig for. For example, in a job interview, the person interviewing you will ask questions hoping to find qualities that show that you have the commitment to become a better person.
Key 3: Concentration
"Make the best use of your time. Ask yourself"Is this the best use of my time?" before you start anything."
Concentrate in your goal.
Key #4 Common Sense
Act well your part; there all honor lies.
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."
I don't agree with the statement
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."
Be a people person, be friendly, avoid being very anti-social
"A little consideration, a little thought for others, makes all the difference." -Eeyore
Key #7: Consistency
"Dependable, steady predictable work is always superior to fast spurs 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."
"If you are persistent, you will get it. If you are consistent, you will keep it."
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."
"It's not effort. And when you implement that effort into your life... Every single day, that's where transformation happens. That's how change occurs. Keep going, Remember why you started."
If you are going to begin doing something make sure to actually want to do it. Don't just do it just because. Stay committed to what you want to do in order to succeed in it. For example I would like to stay committed in basketball in order to improve in my skills and have it better for myself and for my team.
Key #9: Courage
"The fear of failure is the single greatest reason for failure in life."
"Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear- not absence of fear." -Mark Twain
courage is most often seen as standing up, as being brave. courage is when you're scared yet still willing to do certain action.
Key #10: Confidence
"You only get confidence by doing things over and over again."
Practice makes good. Doing things over and over again make you become used to things to the point where you're good at it. By doing things repetitively makes one become confident of the action because they got used to doing it various times.
"Confidence is like a muscle: The more you use it, the stronger it gets."
In order to get muscle you repeat doing a certain workout many times until you receive the results you want. Begin using confidence and it will make you more of a leader.
Reflection: The 10 keys are very important. I am currently applying all of the keys in my life, especially in basketball. In order to succeed in this sport I must have each one of these keys because they help me throughout my practices and furthermore to my games.
