Last blogg (:

The last few days, we have been working on our last project. My last project consists of goal settings and how to base them off of a everyday living. Such as, don't give in to pure pressure or keep your standards higher. By living by those tips, you will stay going down the straight path instead of taking the curving road.

This week we talked about giving speeches about what to do and what not to do. While giving a speech you should, talk clearly, look at people, make sure you have good eye contact. You should not look around like youre lost, read directly off a paper or look uncomfortable.

The topic of this week was about conversation basics. The top five basic you shoul/shouldn't do:
1) Good eye contact, but not starring them down.
2)Don't mess with your hair, nails, clothes, "body parts", because it could mean you're not paying attention.
3)Don't do all a the talking
4)Dress reasonably, you dont want  to be a distraction.
5)and finally don't talk about the weather, it doesnt get you anywhere.

A few weeks ago, we discussed how setting plans and trying to accomplish your goals, will help you to do better. without trying, you wouldnt get anywhere. so in others words, try your hardest and be honest about trying you hardest.

In a recent blog, i discovered that you can make a mistake with or without good instructions. for example, a teacher could be explaining how to do the homework one day and the next they just hand it out. for the students, they could make a mistake and not understand how or what they are doing. I believe you can’t have too much instruction on the value of mistakes.

Today we talked about who you are with influences your choices. Lately i have been referring to the people im with, becasue they are influencing all of my choices. If i were to not be with them, i am certain everything would be  a  lot better and i wouldnt have bad consequences in result. to conclude with today's topic, we also talked about what we could do to prevent or help or choices. In result, im going to try to do something right and think about who im with before i do something as stupid as what they might or are doing.

In another blog i read, the 5 main leadership requirements a leader should have or haves is: Relationship, ownership, reward for work, pride, and confidence through equipping. These are important because without any/one of these requirements, a leader isn't technically a leader, in my opinion. 

In this a blog i read, it talked about how "Mistakes are painful when they happen, but years later a collection of mistakes is what is called experience." Meaning yeah they cause pain and regret but after a while, the mistakes become experience and you know what not to do. I think it's a good quote because its a true fact and people don't realize it. 

In Steve Farber' leadership post, he, like many others, talk about people making mistakes and there'll is always going to be a better out come. His post are really meaningful and are motivational too. In my opinion, i think he is correct when he says that some people appreciate one another, but there are other types of people who could careless about others and worry about themselves.

John Maxwell is a man that is full of quotes and knowledge. In his quotes he posted, famous people talk about people making mistake and making them better and how they can learn from their mistakes. In his post, the quotes, i think, are really inspiring and keep me motivated. (:

This week's blog was about setting goals and the importance of them. I think setting goals before the day begins  is important because it keeps you motivated to keep trying to push for that goal.  But in order to master teh goals you have to be honest about them and be truthful to yourself.. Habit #3 of our study of the Covey's Habits of Highly Successful People is putting first things first. 

1. What is your personality type?

I am an action-oriented people person. I seek to live life to the full, and enjoy applying my people-skills (and other practical skills) to achieve a tangible benefit for people. I have a strong sense of immediacy or urgency - realizing what needs to be done now -and are probably often urging my colleagues to stop talking and get on with doing something.

It shows there is more to life than drama and mistakes. Yes. Yes. I don’t like think so. Because I don’t like change.

4. Why did Chris always wear a suit? Do you believe this statement? = "Dress for the career you DESIRE to have, not the one you currently have" Explain.

He dressed in a suit because he wanted to dress for success. Yes, because if you dress, or prepare for the job you want or are going after you are most likely to get it.

5. What provided strength for Chris to endure such adversity? What is necessary to truly live out this second habit, "starting with the end in mind?" 

His strength was his son and his knowledge. It is necessary to be motivated to try your best you succeed.

During the first week of my leadership class, we dicussed two habits. habit #1,, be proactive.
Being proactive means take ownership, have patients, give benefits of a doubt, and don't be influenced by people's emotions. Habit #2,, start with the end in mind, meaning allow yourself to decide the path you want to take.
