"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.
