Key 1 : Clarity
"Have vision. Determine what would 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 a clear specific goals in life, you are doomed forever to work for others who do."
Reflection: Clarity well to start of clarity is the quality of being clear. In other words being you could say being coherent or sharp whether it be as a person or explaining something. Clarity can be dealt with in different occasions lets say in your relationship whether it be with friend, family , or your partner. Even in school when answering a question or when it comes down to writing a paper. Clarity is needed in many things we do in our life. Clarity you can say is another way of being honest and being truthful because its you stating something to be true or will become true. Don't shadow up the truth but reveal it. Clarity is like someone who needs glasses and doesn't wear them is missing out on many things but once you put on your glasses you see everything clear.
Key 2: Competence
"If you commit to excellence, opportunities will always come your way. The harder you work, the better you get."
Reflection: What competence is he harder we work the better we get. We cannot grow as people if we do not work hard on something, we cant improve if we do not practice. We cannot miss those opportunities we must take them all the way.
Key 3: Concentration
"Make the best use of your time. Ask yourself “Is this the best use of my time?” before you start anything."
This means that we should use our time wisely and make sure whatever we are doing is the best use of our time. Do not waste it on something that is meaningless to us. We need to be fed knowledge and learn new things and if the thing we are wasting our time on does not help us, we should stop doing it right away.
Key 4: Common Sense
Train your mind
think things through
listen to your intuition
learn from setbacks
There are two categories of intelligence: book-smarts and street-smarts. Whether you are intelligent in one area or both, you are considered to be smart. Now both are different in some categories but both share common sense. Common sense should be an impulse and depending in the matter at hand the answer should come naturally.
Key 5 :Creativity
"Except the fact that every human being is a genius. The hallmark of creativity is asking questions. The people who are the most creative ask the most questions."
Creativity is the act of turning new and imaginative ideas into reality. Creativity is characterised by the ability to perceive the world in new ways, to find hidden patterns, to make connections between seemingly unrelated phenomena, and to generate solutions. Creativity involves two processes: thinking, then producing. If you have ideas, but don’t act on them, you are imaginative but not creative.Creativity begins with a foundation of knowledge, learning a discipline, and mastering a way of thinking. You learn to be creative by experimenting, exploring, questioning assumptions, using imagination and synthesing information. Learning to be creative is akin to learning a sport. It requires practice to develop the right muscles, and a supportive environment in which to flourish.
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."
Always think about things with deep thought. We must develop skills to be better at anything we want. Such as with speaking and listening.In any relationship whether with a friend, family member, or anyone in general you have to be considerate to there thoughts, opinions, and feelings. Being considerate to these things will create a positive relationship. Keep in mind that you treat others how you want to be treated. If you are considerate with them then chances are that they will be considerate with you in return.You can not just assume that everyone is going to have the same opinions that you have. Nor must you ever assume that someone is going to respond to something in a way that you expect them to.
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.."
Consistency the act of continuing to do things meaning you never give up. Just the act of you giving up is consistency due to not letting the challenge get the best of you and making you give up but making you a better person to continue.Staying consistent shows everyone you are dedicated to it and are not just in it for fun.Having consistency in your life is essential. Consistency builds stability. Everyone needs a stability in there life just to stay sane. Nothing that has ever been rushed has ever been perfect.
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."
Commitment is when you are fully dedicated and focused on certain things. A commitment can be from making sure you will get done with homework to being something in your personal life. For example you can be committed to graduating high school therefore staying focus in class, doing all the work necessary and keeping track of your grades. Another example lets say a commitment to be with someone therefore dating meaning you trust them, there won't be any foolish actions brought on. Dedicated to your relationship as building a bond and not screwing up. With that said there is different ways to how one can be committed.
Key 9 : Courage
"The fear of failure is the single greatest reason for failure in life."
Courage is having the ability to overcome what frightens you. Lacking the courage to try new things that may benefit one because you never know unless you try. Courage is something valuable that everyone needs and has in their life we just need to let it out and show that courage.
Key 10: Confidence
"You only get confidence by doing things over and over again."
Confidence is the key to being certain you can say. It is realizing you can do certain things even when someone tells you that you cannot . Also confidence comes from your decision making knowing that its the right action to make.
