"The Six Attitudes Of High Achievers"
John R. Noe
1. Make No Small Plans
As Niccolo Machiavelli once said ,"Make no small plans for they have no power to stir the soul". I agree with Machiavelli said, because if you make no plans you are not preparing yourself for your future and then you'll be lost.What John means by "Make No Small Plans" is that no plan can be too big so make the best out of every plan you make. Have you ever heard of the saying " Go Big or Go Home" well this is what you should be putting into your plans. It should include a lot of thought, organizing, punctation, structure, time and place, imagination, orginality, and etc. Plans need to be well thought especially if you're going to be presenting it to someone else. When you present to others you also have to think about strategies and learn how to be able to explain your plan step by step. To make plans you also have to think outside the box and over exaggerate or over imaginate if you have to because nothing is too small.
2. Do What They Fear
You should do what you fear, because then you won't have nothing to fear about. Having to accomplish something someone fears makes you succeed more in life. The quote that i chose to write about and explain was " People fear what they don't understand and they hate what they fear". A lot of people fear things they don't understand for example "God". When people say that they believe in "God" the first thing they think of is that they only belive is, because it helps them grab onto any hope they have left which sometimes they believe because they fear what's going to happen next. Accomplishing what you fear is something is a big relief that you've been waiting to let go. Many fear, which can lead to failure and if you don't want to fail in life and on yourself then you have to face your biggest fears before someone tries to use it against you to get what they want.
3. Are Willing to Prepare
To be prepared is to make something ready for use or consideration. When you are willing to be prepared for anything that is thrown at you is true successful person. Once you give your dedication to your work that's when you are truly prepared to recieve your success. When someone is prepared that means that they are ready to for anything that will be given to them. For example; In school if you are willing to be prepared you are ready to recieve the work that give you the passing grade. Preparing for something you are not ready for is just the beginning of something that you will soon be successful in. If you are willing to put in the work they your are willing to recieve the success that will come with it.
4. Are Willing to Risk Failure
Successful people are willing to risk failure, because once they see an opportunity that they believe in they will risk anything to get it. It's not that they'd do whatever they want to get what they want it's just that once you believe in something or find hope in a certain item you'll do anything to get it. Everyday opportunities like this happen especially with business people. Taking a risk once in a while isn't that bad but if you do it constantly you just have to know what you may be willing to give up. Failure can easily be brought back up with positive help and great advice. One thing people must remember is that once you've hit rock bottom doesn't your life is over embrace the rock bottom and build yourself back up from it. because those who've came back from rock bottom are the most successful in life because they never gave up or lost hope. For example when teachers don't grade you correctly based on the work you turned in and just grade you based on what they think. You may be failing right now but prove them wrong or ask questions to make sure they are grading you fairly because at the end of the day it's your grade that you have to deal with.
5. Are Teachable.
In order to become a high a achiever you must learn how to be able to teach others. To be teachable is being able to learn by being taught. If you want to be successful you be teachable that way you learn others how to succeed in their life or in their career. Priest are great examples of being teachable. They teach you the bible and God taught them. They present themselves respectfully and are very trustworthy. Trust is main characteristic to have because then they'll come to you for advice or just to let loose of any problems they have. It can also be a skill you can learn. Teach others what others taught you. Spread your wisdom and knowledge to others. By you devoting your time to teach someone else they will learn how to devote their time and knowledge as you did for them when they end up teaching someone else. So in a way you're being a great role model and a mentor. And for that they will always look up to you and know in the future that if someone needed assistance they would provide it cause someone showed them a while back before.
6. Have Heart
When you have heart that means that you feel some type of emotion and you're not cold blooded. When someone is cold blooded they have no feelings or show no emotions. They also don't care about others or anything basically. Having heart is important because it shows others what you feel and that you care. Some people find it difficult to show some emotion. Having a heart also shows that you mean well and you will sympathize those who struggle in school or etc. having a good heart can be helpful to others and yourself. Such as if someone has something in their shirt or teeth and you tell them that shows that you have a good heart because you are saving them the embarrassment of having to walk with it all day at school. Those with a good heart mean well, at times it may or can come off as them being rude but they're just trying to help you. A good heart can relate to their inner soul or spirit of a person. If someone does bad all their life doesn't mean they don't have a good heart it just means that they were influenced differently. It's something people find difficult showing. Some people don't like showing emotion especially guys, because then others will think they're feminine. And to prove others wrong they tend to hide their feelings to be more masculine.
Reflection:
It's important to have all Six Attitudes of High Achievers, because it can help you in the long run. It's also very important, because you can influence others to do good as well. Having a bad attitude doesn't help you or others. Showing that you can help others is good because it's a skill not many people can handle or contain. Some just give up and those people are probably full of negativity. To make these Six Attitudes of High Achievers apart of your daily life you can start by taking baby steps if that helps you. It's better to work at your paste, because there's no competition and this isn't a race. Working at your paste is also helpful, because it will help you complete your assignment and that's all that matters. That you complete your assignments at your paste.
