Class Evaluation 
1. There are many things I like about this class but the one thing that I like most is when we write about the ways, the six attitudes, the habits and the keys. I was able to learn many new things because of them and improve myself as a person and I was able to obtain new skills because of these topics we were given.
2. There was only one thing I didn't like about this class which was the spin the wheel thing. I guess because I'm a very nervous person and I get really shy presenting or talking in front of a lot of people. Other than that there was nothing else I didn't like about the class. :)
3. I don't think I have any recommendations for improving this class since it's already amazing as it is but maybe keep continuing the assignments on schoology. I think that really helps and it's something nice to do once in a while and we learn from it to...it's like a win-win.
4. My highlight in this class was when I was able to learn a lot about myself and how I'm able to manage time and my personal stuff which also included me taking some time to learn and improve with the topics we were given. 
5. I think I did good but not my best because I feel like I could have added stronger reflections to my posts but I think I did good but next semester I will do my best...that is one of my goals I have written in my life planning journal.
6. Yes I am reading and writing in my Life Planning Goals Journal everyday for at least 5 minutes and that includes both front and back. I'm able to add more than 10 goals each day and marking victory in the left side which I think is a great accomplishment since freshman year.
7. Yes, I am committed to being a CTR person because many wonderful things come from it and it makes you work hard, work smart, and work together which I think these are very important in life. So I'll be Choosing the Right 24/7

The 10 Keys to Personal Power




Brian Tracy

Key 1: Clarity

"Have vision. Determine what 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 clear specific goals in life, you are doomed forever to work for others who do." 

Reflection:
    Things in life that you focus on is clarity, whether you're focusing on a goal in life or if your focusing on something while everything around you is not within that aspect then that is clarity. Your mind and focus is on your target/ path way which will lead you to where ever you want to go. If you loose track of that focus its fine because little by little you'll get back in track because you will be determined to achieve what was first in mind.






“When life gets blurry...adjust your focus, clarity.”  - Anonymous









Key 2: Competence

"If you commit to excellence, opportunities will always come your way. The harder you work, the better you get. " 

Reflection:

    Competence is the key to practice makes perfect, little by little, a step away from the finish line. We all do this even when we don't realize it for example picking up our grades. If you worker harder you're going to see your grades raising up but if you don't really care about your grades then they'll stay the same or they'll drop more than where you were at. It might be hard to work harder to do better but it's worth it even if it takes time. It's better than not doing anything at all that will be easier to put you down in a blink of an eye. It's how the world works just like no pain no gain in any type of form.    






“When your confidence goes up, your competence goes up the same time.”  - Anonymous 








Key 3: Concentration

"Make the best use of your time. Ask yourself "Is this the best use of my time?" before you start anything." 

Reflection:


    Concentration is a major key to everything and we do it every day even if its difficult at first but we slowly get use to it. We concentrate on everything whether its reading, watching a movie, or even making something, all use concentration. But when is concentration important? Well that's up to you to decide. Whether if it's important to you or not would you use concentration? I know I would if its something important to me such as a class project or studying, that is something I concentrate the most on. It's also very important where you are at because if there is disturbance around you then how are you able to concentrate? It's going to be very hard so try to find a place where your able to concentrate most like a library and if public places dont work out for you maybe find a quite place where you live, that helps. You can even use concentration for fun things such as playing a game...you'll be concentrating on winning and how your going to win. And if your like me, for fun I concentrate on the subtitles on the animes that i watch to understand what they say and learn some sayings and thats due to concentrating.







“Its all about concentration and repetition. That's all it is.”  - Chris Bosh  






Key 4: Common Sense

Train your mind

Think things through

Listen to your intuition

Learn from setbacks

Reflection:



    Key number 4 is the key to common sense. Training your mind is one of the tasks as well as that applying to thinking things through which takes a lot of your time and focus...concentrating like key number 3. 






“My success was not based so much on any great intelligence but on great common sense  .”  - Helen Gurley Brown 





Key 5: Creativity

"Expect the fact that every human being is a genius. The hallmark of creativity is asking questions. The people who are most creative ask the most questions." 

Reflection:

      Creativity, something that everyone has in their own and unique way. It comes in many forms but the best form is the one that comes to life. You can get as creative as you want because there is no limit to it. You plan out what your going to do, put it on paper, and let the magic begin. Once your in the process you decide whats best and ask many questions like does this look better or the other or should I make it out of this or that? It just doesn't stop until your finally done with the one creative thing you made. But creativity doesn't stop there, it keeps going and going, it has a never ending. The more you let out your creativeness, the more and more it will flow out and more ideas will develop just like painter. The best part is that you can use anything and everything because that's what's creative about it. Its overpowering and amazing how it starts from a little thinking to the very front of your eyes.





“See what others dont see.Then show it to them. That is creativity.”  - Brian Vaszily 





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."
"If you were to learn one new word a day, within 5 years,you'll be the best educated person in history." 

Reflection:

    Consideration, a careful thought we should all have. Its just like respecting the needs and feelings of others as well as making their needs or feelings important to you as they are to them.You also have to stop and think how your actions will affect others. You can empathize with other's, put your self in their shoes. This reminds me a lot about Habit #5 which is seek first to understand, then to be understood. You pay attention to the other person, wait for your turn then you can have a go at it. You can also think of little things to bring others happiness








“A little consideration, a little thought for others, makes all the difference.”  - Eeyore









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."

Reflection:

    Consistency is key...you have to





















“Consistency is better than rare moments of greatness. - Anonymous 







Key 8: Commitment

"No success is possible without commitment. The ability to commit yourself whole heartily is the basis of achieving all success." 

"Become totally absorbed in your work. Be totally committed."

Reflection:

    Commitment is something we all have to do...whether it's something small or big we have to commit to it. It might be challenging at first or maybe be easy but you have to commit yourself to it because thats what really counts over all. 




















“Commitment to your dreams is an act of self-love”  - Anonymous






Key 9: Courage

"The fear of failure is the single greatest reason for failure in life." 

Reflection:


      Courage is something we have but it is hard to let out. Its like when you're scared, you have to have courage to fight it back but its hard for you to let it out and do. It takes time and practice and of course something that is the reason why you have to be courageous. Courage can be found anywhere and in anyone like when firefighters coming to the rescue in a burning house that is about to collapse, they have to have courage to lead them the way. There's also babies when they take their first steps, they need courage and a little bit of help to get them walking. You can say courage is a testing point where you have to do and do over again until you hit a home run. Even though it might not be easy, in the end courage wins over everything...you just have to believe. Nothing is impossible, you just need a little boost and that boost is courage. 






“Find the courage to let go of what you can't change.”  - Anonymous







Key 10: Confidence

"You only get confidence by doing things over and over again." 

Reflection:

      Confidence is a very strong word that we all should have but is difficult to obtain. Confidence is like determination but it comes in many forms and can be easy or can take time like self-confidence. Something I think we all have troubles with including myself. There are many ways to gain self-confidence or even just confidence but its very easy to loose no matter what type it is. In all honesty I think thats how it's suppose to work, we loose it and gain it but then sometimes we can keep it.










"If you fight hard, know who you are, and are proud of who you are, you've got a good chance of winning.”  - W. Lincoln Hawkins 





Final Reflection:        
Write a final all-encompassing reflection about the 10 Keys to Personal Power.
1.) How can they benefit you?
These keys can benefit me in many ways especially any time whether its concentrating on something like studying or being creative on a big project like IDP's or  even consistently doing something to make my skills better and improve on them. It benefits everyone in many ways and in different ways but all does good and makes you feel good. 
2.) Which keys are you applying now, and what difference are they making in your life?
The keys I'm applying to right now is confidence and courage since I lack in those keys. Little by little I practice with what i need help with which gives me confidence and to show it to someone would mean courage to me. Like when i saw a difference in my presentation the other day, I was able to present with not so many errors from when I first started and there my friends is when I realize i was able to built confidence with practice and courage to present in front of the class. 
3.) How will you incorporate the other keys into your Life Planning plans?
In all honesty, I believe that I'm already incorporating these keys into my life planning just that I really need to work on confidence and courage more because those are my weakness but sooner or later, the more i work on them, the more likely is that Ill achieve them. Whether it takes me time or not, I know Ill be able to do it.

Video Reflection:
         Stephen Covey explained to us about character ethic which is about our character. It involves integrity, courage, compassion, responsibility, and many other terms. Character ethic is different from personality ethic especially because it involves more work towards one's self. Personality ethic focuses on our attitudes and behavior while character ethic is having to change yourself to make change for something else.
