Attention to Detail 7 of 10

Attention to Detail

7 to 10

When you double-check your calculations for a math problem or cite source carefully in a research paper, you’re paying close attention to detail. That skill comes in handy in any workplace, whether you maintain a database, keep a log of the hours you spend with clients or write e-mails.

John Wooden, UCLA’s former great basketball coach who lead his team to ten consecutive national championships, was asked what he attributed his success to. Among a number of things, he mentioned that paying attention to details was one of the most important qualities for successful coaching and for high achievement in any worthwhile pursuit. He even paid attention to how his players would lace up and tie their shoe strings. If they didn’t tie them correctly, he would teach them how.

Details may be small things but from small things come great thing; therefore, pay attention to details and you will experience substantial progress in your overall educational attainment.

“The man who has no imagination has no wings”

-Muhammad Ali

Imagination is a great motivator. You succeed in doing things because you imagine yourself in a better place. You overcome obstacles because you imagine yourself powerful. Your imagination gives you the wings to fly to success. When shopping I make a purchase because I imagine myself wearing that outfit and looking great in it. The wings imagination gives you, they give you power and encourage you to do better to make decisions.

“Continous effort, not strength or intelligence, is the key to unlocking our potential.”

-Liane Cordes

The effort you put into something oversees anything else. Yes your intelligence and strength will help in some situations, but your effort is what will push you to succeed. If you are preparing for an AP test, yes your intelligence will be helpful and important but if you do not have the effort to study, to review to push yourself to go the extra mile, what good is your intelligence? Continuous effort will help you meet your goals.

“Tell me what is right and I will fight for it.”

-Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson does not mean literally fight for something, as in attack but as in strike for it, prove it. Fight for what will make you successful, what will make a change. Make your fight worth something, don’t go around fighting for something that is not going to get you anywhere. Strike for success the best and accomplish it (fight for it). An example of this quote can be if my teacher says to the entire class you will need to study 2 days in order to pass the test, I will study 3 days, I will fight to pass that test. Fight for something that is right, not the bad.

“Success is dependent on effort.”

    -Sophocles, Greek dramatist

Success will lead you far in life, but you cannot be successful without effort. Everything you want to accomplish not only success depends on your effort. The effort to be someone in life, to prove others wrong, all the effort will lead you to success. If you want to achieve good grades, you need to put in effort! If you don’t put effort into your grades no one else will and your grades will suffer.  Put in effort in everything you do to become successful.

“It’s better to be alone than to be in bad company.”

-Anon

You are better off alone, than with the wrong crowd or even the wrong person. Too often we get involved with the wrong crowd, doing the wrong things because of peer-pressure because you’re afraid to stand alone. Don’t be afraid to stand alone if you are doing the thing. You will get farther by standing alone, choosing the right than standing with a crowd choosing the wrong.  If all your friends decided they want to smoke but you don’t and they are “bullying” you or pressuring you even threatening you that they will not be your friends anymore, just walk away you don’t need those type of friends. Never fall into bad company, standing alone in better and will get you farther in life.

“Improvement begins with I.”

-Anon

There is more to this quote than what you see, the obvious. No one can improve you; it’s all a process of yourself. You are the only one who can motivate yourself to do better, to improve your life. An example can be when you want to improve to a higher position in your job; no one can make you work hard so you can accomplish your goal. If I was in that position I would have to do it on my own, I would have to overcome all the steps there is in order to improve MYSELF. I am the only one in control of my life, so if I want to improve myself , I have to take the steps necessary, no one else but me, myself , and I. It all beings with yourself. 

Reflection : Good Sportsmanship

Reflection

In a softball competition Sarah from the Western Oregon team, batted her first homeroom but with that homeroom she batted her softball career. Sarah had torn her ACL and was on the flooring hugging the base; her teammates were not allowed to touch her.  That is when Mallory and Liz from the opposing team Central Washington carried her to all the bases until she made her first homerun. This is the best example of good sportsmanship. Mallory and Liz did not have to carry her, they could have just left her there, but winning the game did not matter to them, they were loyal and helped Sarah out because she deserved it.  Central Washington lost the game, but they gained much more respect and left that field with loyalty. Mallory and Liz are a great example to people all over the world, loyalty and good sportsmanship are very important.

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw

Teens should never get too busy living to take time to renew themselves. When teens “sharpen the saw” they are keeping their personal self sharp so that they can better deal with life. It means regularly renewing and strengthening the four key dimensions of life- body, mind, heart, and soul.

1.     Body. Eat wholesome foods, fruits, vegetables, legumes. Avoid illegal drugs, smoking, alcohol, tobacco products, tattooing. Exercise regularly and effectively. Get plenty of rest at night. Get to bed early at night and get up early each morning. “Early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.”

2.     Mind. Think positively. Read. Study. Think. Analyze. Seek to read a good book each month. Then each week. Ask intelligent questions. Observe. Develop your mind through positive “self-talk.”

“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”

-Helen Keller

It is always better to work together, in a group. United you can do things better and faster. As the saying goes “two brains worth better than one”. The other person can bring to the group what one cannot; more ideas that will lead to success can come out of working together. For example, it would take one person to do a group project around a week and a half, while if a whole group works together they may get it finished in a couple of days. Another example can be a person pushing a car, one person will take hours and will run out of energy, while if a group of people work together they can move the car faster with les exhaustion. You will get father and faster working together. You will accomplish many more when you join together.

Habit 6: Synergize

Synergy is achieved when two or more people work together to create something better than either could alone. Through this habit, teens learn it doesn’t have to be “your way” or “my way” but rather and better way, a higher way. Synergy is the reward, the delicious fruit you’ll taste as you get better at living the other habits, especially at thinking Win-Win and seeking first to understand. Learning to synergize is like learning to form V formations with others instead of trying to fly through life solo. You’ll be amazed at how much faster and farther you’ll go. Synergy doesn’t just happen. It’s a process. You have to get there. And the foundation of getting there is this: Learn to celebrate differences.

A good band is a great example of synergy. It’s not just the drums, or guitar, or sax, or the vocalist, it’s all of them together that make up the “sound.” Each band member brings his or her strengths to the table to create something better than each could alone. No instrument is more important than another, just different.

Habit 5

5. Seek First to Understand, and then to be Understood

Because most people don’t listen very well, one of the great frustrations in life is that many don’t feel understood. This habit will ensure your teen learns the most important communication skill there is: active listening.

Why is this habit the key to communication? It’s because the deepest need of the human heart is to be understood. Everyone wants to be respected and valued for who they are—a unique, one-of-a-kind, never-to-be-cloned individual. People won’t expose their soft middles unless they feel genuine love and understanding. Once they feel it, however, they will tell you more than you may want to hear. People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.

Listen with your eyes, heart, and ears. 7 percent of communication is contained in the words we use. The rest comes from body language (53 percent) and how we say words, or the tone and feeling reflected in our voice (40 percent). Most people are eager to talk and had rather talk than listen. We have one mouth and two ears. This means we should listen twice as much as we talk. We actually learn more while listening rather than when we talk. LEARN TO LISTEN AND LISTEN TO LEARN. Listen, really listen, for understanding.

Seek first to understand then to be understood—LISTEN

Putting first things first also means learning to overcome fears and being strong during difficult times. It’s living life according to what matters most.

Important or not important, urgent or not urgent. Let’s look at the four quadrants of time management.

Quadrant 3: Things that are Not Important but are Urgent

Quadrant 4: Things that are not Important and Not Urgent

1.    Important & Urgent	2.    Important but not Urgent

1.      Control of your life

2.      Balance

3.      High Performance

So, in what quadrant are you spending most of your time? The key is to shift as much time as possible into quadrant 2 and this is accomplished by planning. Spend more time planning and incorporating most important things first, things that matter most. Keep your eyes on the prize and reach for it.

“The only difference between those who have failed and those who have succeeded lies in the difference of their habits. Good habits are the key to all success. Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure. Thus, the first law I will obey, which precedeth all others is—‘I will form good habits and become their slaves.’”

-Og Mandino

          Your habits are the most important because your habits can lead you to the bad or the good. When a person has good habits, they will be successful. On the other hand the person who has bad habits will be on the path to failure. For example, both a person with good habits and a person with bad habits apply for a job, the person with good habits will impress the manger and win over the job. No one wants to hire someone with bad habits that will represent their company wrong. You should always obey the good habits, follow them in order to be successful.

Habit 2: Begin With the End in Mind

If teens aren’t clear about where they want to end up in life, about their values, goals, and what they stand for , they will wander, waste time, and be tossed to and fro by the opinions of others. Help your teen create a personal mission statement which will act as a road map and direct and guide his decision-making process.

“Keep your eyes on the prize.” Determine your desired prize and don’t quit until you have realized the achievement of your prize. Then set another prize, another goal or desire that you would really like to achieve. Begin with the achievement of your prize in mind. Visualize and then realize. Start by having a target in mind; know where you are going.

One prize or goal you definitely need to establish for yourself is the prize of an honorable graduation from high school- that you will receive your diploma honestly and with integrity—that you earned it with perfect honesty.

“Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man’s doing but my own. I am the force.”

-Elaine Maxwell

Your success, your failure, it’s YOURS.  You cannot blame others for your actions that lead you to success or failure. You are in charge you have the strength to choose your own path. For example when you are offered drugs, you have the force to choose the successful answer and say no , if you do say yes it will be your failure because you had the force to make a decision. Take your force and utilize it to good use because in the long run there will only be you to blame.

7 HABITS OF Highly Successful Teens
By Sean Covey

---

For teens, life is not a playground, it’s a jungle. And, being the parent of a teenager isn’t any walk in the park, either. In his book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, author Sean Covey attempts to provide “A compass to help teens and their parents navigate the problems they encounter daily.”

How will they deal with peer pressure? Motivation? Success or lack thereof? The life of a teenager is full of tough issues and life-changing decisions. As a parent, you are responsible to help them learn the principles and ethics that will help them to reach their goals and live a successful life.
While it’s all well and good to tell kids how to live their lives, “teens watch what you do more than they listen to what you say,” Covey says. So practice what you preach. Your example can be very influential.

Covey himself has done well by following a parent’s example. His dad, Stephen Covey, wrote the book The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People, which sold over 15 million copies. Sean’s a chip off the block, and no slacker. His own book has rung in a more than respectable 2 million copies sold. Here are his seven habits, and some ideas for helping your teen understand and apply them :

Work Together. There are a number of ways that you can ensure you get the most out of your educational experience. First, participate fully. Engage regularly in the discussions and be willing to share your personal, professional and educational experiences. You can get to know your classmates through the dialogue that is created in a course environment—sometimes even better than in a face – to – face class. And the same goes for your instructor. Be sure to contact your professor – especially if you are having problems. He/ she is still your instructor and will be there to guide and assist you as needed.

“It’s not WHERE you live but HOW you live that counts. It’s not where you play the game but HOW you play the game that counts.”
-Mr. Haymore

This statement has a lot of truth in it and all people should keep in mind. It is not where you do things that count but the things you do. All that matters is how you do things, because how you do things is what will affect or matter to you and others. For example, if a student living in Huntington Park try’s his/her best to enroll in a good college and a student in Malibu doesn’t give it his/ her all and slacks off, the person from Huntington Park will have the benefit because he/she gave it her all. It will not matter where but HOW you do things will.

“Goodness is the only investment that never fails.”

-Henry David Thoreau

Investing in goodness is starting in a great path. You can never fail when you invest in goodness because it will always pay off. When you invest in goodness you will always get satisfaction out of it and a good consequence. For example if you invest time helping out in your community, that is investing in goodness. Only positive things will come out of your future because you are helping the community you live in. You will make a better environment for yourself and your family. How is that a failure? Always invest in goodness because it will never fail.
