The 12 principles Of highly Successful Leaders
1. Be true to character
Quote: Be true to yourself, help others, make each day your masterpiece, make friendship a fine art, drink deeply from good books - especially the Bible, build a shelter against a rainy day, give thanks for your blessings and pray for guidance every day. John Wooden
Reflection: Being true to character means being true to yourself. It means that you will not only build character but improve on it. There are many traits that make up a character, whether they are good ones or bad ones is up to you. You decide how your character will be represented.This can help us be better people and allow others to see us for who we are as people and not the blanket of lies we put above us.
2. Use your imagination
Quote: Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere. Carl Sagan
Reflection: I guarantee you that using your imagination inspires everyone to think outside the box. What i am trying to say is that many times we need our imaginations to imagine us with our career lets say and working hard, having our own home, and maybe of one day having a family with your loved one. For example me I use my imagination to think big and see myself 5 years from now. I know that i want to be working and not be living with my parents not because i don't like my parents i love them but more because i want to become independent and not rely on them . Imaginations expands one thinking because it goes beyond thinking its creating a whole different things whether it be about you and your goals.
3. Apply the power of knowledge
Quote:Human behavior flows from three main sources: desire, emotion, and knowledge.
- Plato
Reflection:Without knowledge you are empty. Knowledge is very important it helps us process information in a logical way. This means that we should apply our knowledge to anything we do. If we do not then we are not powerful or liberal. Education is the premise of progress in everything. Either it be society, or your family.
4. Never Give Up
Quote: Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than the one with all the facts.
- H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
Reflection: Giving up is like letting everyone smack you across the face. Why I say that is because giving up can deal with anything whether it be school related or with friends, family, or even yourself. Its like if I were ti give up already in school when I am so close to graduating and for me to not come to class, not do homework, never pay attention, when I am on the path to graduate and will graduate. But me giving up would affect me in having my High School diploma and showing my parents that all their hard work was a waste of time because their daughter didn't even graduate high school. If I give up I would give the power to all those people that have put me down saying i would not graduate high school and give them a reason to put me down even more. But I have different plans that is why I am not giving up on school because i want to better myself show my family i can make it and if I never give up and I can complete and have success on everything i put my mind to.
5. Find Peace and Balance
-Thomas Merton
6. Live the Golden Rule
Quote: The Golden Rule finds no limit of application
- Unknown
Reflection: The golden rule on life it's not just what do you for yourself. It's how you treat people decently. The golden rule. There isn't big anything better than the golden rule. It's in every major religion in one language or another.To keep the Golden Rule we must put ourselves in other people's places, but to do that consists in and depends upon picturing ourselves in their places.You must follow your passion and do something that's close to your heart. And I think that that's very important, well, to be successful and to be happy.
7. Build And maintain trust
Quote:"It takes two to do the trust tango--the one who risks (the trustor) and the one who is trustworthy (the trustee); each must play their role." --Charles H. Green, The Trusted Advisor
Reflection : What this means is that trust is a big foundation in ones life and determines how you are with others. There fore its an even distribution with trust and many other things. Trust is important for those stressful times that one feels down.It takes a lot for let's say a person to open up to someone and tell them things that they aren't used to telling to others. It all depends on how we intake many things.
8. Quick to listen and slow to wrath
Quote :Think twice before you speak, because your words and influence will plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of another.
-Napoleon Hill
Reflection:this is like Thinking before you speak just doesn't benefit you but others around you as well. Many people often get the wrong intention from not hearing everything and hearing what they want to hear. Depending on the person it will either kill them inside to not take charge and talk right away. But sometimes it better to just listen to hear what is true and the real story. As an extension of good listening skills, you need to develop the ability to reflect words and feelings and to clarify that you have understood them correctly. Direct the thoughts and further encourages them to continue speaking. Myself I am a person that will not hear other people out because I'm so stubborn but luckily I am working on this. Why because my mouth goes wild and my temper does as well as soon as i hear something that has to deal with me or my family. That is why it benefits me to listen to everything completely and maybe even different people to see before i act.
9. Lead with vision
Quote:Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others. Jonathan Swift
Reflection:Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe. Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes. You have to have a big vision and take very small steps to get there. You have to be humble as you execute but visionary and gigantic in terms of your aspiration. In the Internet industry, it's not about grand innovation, it's about a lot of little innovations: every day, every week, every month, making something a little bit better. Making it more clear to one to see the reality.
11. Do what matters most.
Quote:" What matters is to live in the present, live now, for every moment is now. It is your thoughts and acts of the moment that create your future. The outline of your future path already exists, for you created its pattern by your past."
- Sai Baba
Reflection:What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us. If we do things that are not important to our lives then we are not living to our full potential. If we change this and do everything that is important then we will be able to do things that matter the most to ourselves and in return show others that we get things done and in an orderly way.
12. Be accountable
Quotes:Most of all, be honest with yourself and make sure those in political office, our so called public servants, are being honest, holding them accountable for their actions!
- David Pratt
Reflection:True equality means holding everyone accountable in the same way, regardless of race, gender, faith, ethnicity - or political ideology. A person may cause evil to others not only by his actions but by his inaction, and in either case he is justly accountable to them for the injury. Realizing that we've surrendered our self-esteem to others and choosing to be accountable for our own self-worth would mean absorbing the terrifying fact that we're always vulnerable to pain and loss.
Reflection: Being true to character means being true to yourself. It means that you will not only build character but improve on it. Many times we need our imaginations to imagine us with our career lets say and working hard, having our own home, and maybe of one day having a family with your loved one. Knowledge is very important it helps us process information in a logical way. Giving up is like letting everyone smack you across the face. Why I say that is because giving up can deal with anything whether it be school related or with friends, family, or even yourself. Peace and balance are things that help one to be calm you can say. Why well peace is tranquility and balance an even distribution.Trust is important for those stressful times that one feels down.It takes a lot for let's say a person to open up to someone and tell them things that they aren't used to telling to others.Thinking before you speak just doesn't benefit you but others around you as well. Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication.Do everything that is important then we will be able to do things that matter the most to ourselves. All these different meaning help us understand how to be highly successful leaders this helps us all and benefits us all. It is important to keep these in mind because it will benefit us in a everyday life due to it telling us how to do certain things.
