"the
six attitudes of high achievers" john noe
1. make no small plans
"Make
big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram
once recorded will not die, but long after we are gone be a living thing,
asserting itself with ever-growing insistence."
-Daniel
Burnham
Plan ahead
of time and set goals. making plans that are long term to keep you in the right
path. the picture says chapter one because the book has more than one chapter
and in life there is more than one moment. it continues on and on. so your
goals should never end. people never thought a man would be in the moon but now
were trying to land on mars. to apply this new attitude to me i will read my
life planning boook everyday for 5 minutes and add to it.
2. Do what they
fear
"The
key to change... is to let go of fear."
-Roseanne
Cash
conquering your fears is the
best way to live life. you cant stop yourself because you're afraid of
something. someone once said "fears stop more people from accomplishment
than failure its self". meaning if you fail nothing can happen but get back
up and try again. accomplishing your fear also grants you a feeling of success
and overwhelming gratefullness for yourself. you will feel so much better after
you face it. in order for me to face my own fears i will challenge myself
everyday to do something i would never regularly do.
3. Are willing to prepare
"By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail."
-Benjamin Franklin
I will be prepared in life. I also
will be prepared in my goals in order to surpass them. Never will I be lazy
towards my life. I will never be lazy towards my goals.
Reflection: To be prepared is to have
confidence in what you doing. To be positive in your goals and to not quit in
your goals. To always know what you're going to do in the future and the
present. To never let yourself down. Always be in order to what you want to do.
Never be disorganized in your way of life.
4. Are willing to risk failure
"I can
accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not
trying."
- Michael
Jordan
I will add this to my daily life by
trying and repeating as much as I can for as long until I get it right. I will
never give up nor will I give up on someone else.
In order to fail you need to
at least try it. In order to try what you want to exceed, you need to be ready
in failure and in disappointment. If you fail, you will learn from your
mistakes and from others mistakes. As in you will see where you did wrong and
you will try to fix it in any way to see if you can do better next time.
Everyone should be ready to fail because not everybody is perfect and someway
you will make a mistake either by accident or on purpose.
5. are teachable
“What I
believe is that all clear-minded people should remain two things throughout
their lifetimes: Curious and teachable.”
― Roger
Ebert
What the
quote means about curios is that you always have questions to be answered and
desire to answer them. when you have desire to learn something you look for
resources and search for answers. you're willing to be guided by someone. when
you're teachable it means you're open to new ideas. being teachable is a good
quality because you're open to not always being right and can take criticism in
a right way. you move up and improve,
6. have heart
"Let
my soul smile through my heart and my heart smile through my eyes, that I may
scatter rich smiles in sad hearts."
A person has
a heart meaning they are kind. this quote means that she hopes to be happy and
that her happiness can scatter more happiness. she call smiles rich because
they are the most valuable things in life. everyone should be kind and give
back when they are in a higher level. they should always remember their
beginnings. people that have a heart are very kind and remember about others.
they help those that need help even when they dont ask for it. this is an
important quality to have. i want to have this quality so therefor i want to
become less vain.
The 6
attitudes of a high achiever shouldnt just be for "high achievers"
all students should have this attitude about learning and life in general.
there is never an end to education you will always be learning subconciously or
conciously, whether it be a new job or raising a kid. we should always be open
minded, teachable, kind, and out going.
