Class/ Self Evaluation

What I like about this class is that we got to learn how to create a website and also learn about different types of computers and also listing our goals that really helped me a lot. What I don’t like about this class is making the codes because it took a long time to do. What I suggest to improve the class is maybe playing games but like the ones that help you learn how to type or the ones that help you in any computer area. I think I did my best in this class because I remember when I first had this class I didn’t do anything but now I do every assignment and if I don’t I make sure to do it afterschool . I am comited to being a CTR person because when you choose the right all things turn out like you planned and sometimes they don’t but that’s when the commitment comes in.

Six Ways to make people like you .If you want people to like you………

Rule 1: Become genuinely interested in other people

“Do this and you will be welcome anywhere”

“You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you”

“Ask questions to other people, questions that they would enjoy answering”

Reflection: It really helps a lot when you become interested in other people. Not like in a relationship way but in a friend way. Many people try so hard for people to take interest in them but sometimes it takes us to get interested in them first. It shows that you actually care about that person and that they are not a bother to you or annoying because I think sometimes that’s what stops people from talking to other people or asking them questions about themselves because they feel like a bother or some type of creep when in reality its enjoyable when someone actually takes interest in you and not just gossip to make a conversation.

Quote: ”You can have anything you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want”

Rule 2: Smile

1.”Actions speak louder than words, and a smile says, “I like you. You make me happy. I am glad to see you.”

2.”You don’t feel like smiling? The force yourself to smile.”

3.”It creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in a business, and is the countersign (witness or indication) of friends.”

Reflection: Smiling is a good way to start so people can like you everyone likes a smiling person. If you’re having a bad say smile, if things didn’t turn out as you planned smile. It doesn’t take much to smile. Everyone looks beautiful when their smiling even if that means faking a smile you’re still getting through life. I personally think a smile is the most beautiful thing in the world because it shows that your happy and that even if things aren’t going as you wanted them to , you still chose not to let that take the smile out of your face.

“A smile is the prettiest thing you can wear” 

  


Rule 3: Remember names

1.”A man’s name is to him the sweetest and most important sound in any language”

2.”If you don’t remember names, you are headed for trouble.”

Reflection: When someone remembers your name it feels good because it’s like wow you actually remember my name. We sometimes get surprised because we think we are not that important so why would someone remember your name or my name? But it feels good when someone does, it shows that the person actually payed attention to you. It might not seem like a big thing to forget some ones name but it actually is. I think when you remember people’s names you’ll be more likable because you can start a conversation with them now knowing there name.

“Remember my name, Remember my face cause there ain’t no other honey who can take my place”

   

Rule 4: Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves

“If you aspire to be a good conversationalist, be an attentive listener”

“Remember that the man you are talking to is a hundred times more interested in himself and his wants and his problems than he is in you and your problems”

Reflection:  Being a good listener helps other people to like you because no one really wants a person who ignores them or isn’t really interested on what they have to say.  Some people pass through very hard things in life sometimes they need advice and sometimes they just need someone who will listen to them. Sometimes you just have to keep quiet and listen. It feels good when someone truly listens to you because not many people are like that it feels nice when you actually feel important to someone
else just like they are good listener maybe you can be a good listener for someone else also.

Rule 6: Make the other person feel important- and do it sincerely

“The desire to be important is the deepest urge in human nature” (John Dewey) “Helping people feels important and appreciated works magic”

Reflection: making someone feel important is very needed to make someone like you not only for you own self on getting people to lime you but because your making someone else feel important in this world that is constantly bringing people down. No one wants to be friends with someone who makes the feel like crap. It is important to make other people feel important because then not only the person feels good about themselves but you feel good about yourself to because you might have changed someone else’s life just by being a friends and listening to them and making them feel appreciated. 

"You are amazing"

Reflection: overall this teaches you that there are many different ways it you want people to like you these ways are very important because they make the person overall feel wanted and everyone wants to keep a friend who makes them feel special. It also taught me to listen better because sometimes the other person just needs someone there to listen rather than rushing to give them advice we have to try out bests to understand the person before we speak. Also remembering names ,I didn’t really think it was a big deal but I know I wouldn’t really feel good if someone forgot my name so I try my very best to remember names. 

Glenn Cunningham

When Glenn Cunningham was younger he was in a bad accident that burned his legs so severely they were useless. The doctors told him he could never walk again but, he had the heart to reach his goal and walk again. When he felt like giving up he would tell himself that he was going to walk no matter how much it hurt or how hard it was. Little by little he began practicing on his walking then later one of his main goals was the run in the Olympics and he achieved that goal and came I first place. After the doctors told him he could never walk again he defied everything and achieved his goal. He could have gave up and not even try and have self-pity but he knew that wasn’t going to help him walk again. He put his heart into walking again and he earned it. 

                     “The Six Attitudes of High Achievers”

                                                           High Achievers….

1.Make no small plans

Reflection: high achievers make no small plans because they know what they want and high achievers don’t go small they go big. You have to have big goals for yourself in life even if you’re going to struggle but it makes you feel powerful and proud when you know your aiming for something high. Usually people go for the little stuff because it’s convenient for them. Being a high achiever isn’t always doing stuff alone by yourself but its working together with other people to accomplish your dreams.

“A goal without a plan is just a wish”

   

2. Do what they fear

Reflection: Doing what they fear means doing they action they can’t do like lest say when someone is afraid of speaking the truth when they know the person is wrong you have to speak up about it and not stay quite. They fear people with knowledge and control people without it. Many people fear standing up for what they believe in but it just takes one person to say what others are fearful of saying don’t give into other people’s fears. Maybe the way they decided to handle the situations didn’t come out so good so now they fear it but we are not all the same everyone has a different way of getting over there fears.

“They fear what they don’t understand”

3. Are willing to prepare- High achievers prepare to win. Many people only focus on “winning” but they don’t focus on how they are going to get there , they have to prepare. When you prepare you will know what you are doing. For example like when you have to prepare  for a test you have to study or take notes or ask someone to test you or you can take a practice test. There are many ways to prepare it is never to early to prepare it actually helps to prepare early because then you’ll know what you need help on and you can work on it

“success depends on previous  preparation, and without such preparation there is sure to be failure”

4.Are willing to risk failure- High achievers are willing to risk failure because they know sometimes things won’t always come out as planned but it doesn’t mean they give up on it, it just gives them more motivation to reach higher. They are willing to try out something that will probably end in failure but they do it anyways because they want to experience new things or want to learn from a mistake. There will be many failures in life but that doesn’t mean we have to give up it just means you know what to do better now.

“You must be willing to risk failure to experience true success”

5.Are Teachable- High achievers are willing to learn new stuff from other people and not just from themselves or what they think is correct. You have to be teachable in order to reach true success. For example listening to other people opinion and maybe getting little ideas out of their opinions. You have to be taught first in order to know who you want to be. If the person is not willing to be taught then how are they going to reach true success, everyone comes from being taught no one comes out of the blue knowing everything that’s why there is people to guide you and teach you for then later on you can reach the success you want.

“The best leaders are teachable”
 

Reflection: Out if all “The Six Attitudes of High Achievers” it really taught me to do what I fear and that is getting out of my comfort zone. Sometimes people like staying in there comfort zone because they feel safe there but nothing really grows there. Even if you are really fearful on what’s going to happen or you have doubts you can still go ahead and do it because you won’t know unless you try. It also taught me to make no small plans. I have to make big plans for myself because I know I can do big things it just takes dedication. 

Way to be

9 ways to be happy and make something of your self

                                             Gordon B. Hinckley

1.Be grateful-  Being grateful  is when you don’t have nothing and are still grateful. Being grateful is showing gratitude for something or someone. It is important because you recognize that sometimes you can’t do this alone and there is always someone there to help you out.  Being grateful doesn’t only come when you give thanks to someone but you also give thanks when you don’t have as much as another person has but are still very grateful for the things you have.

“Be grateful for the small things, big things, and everything in between. Count your blessings, Not your problems.”

2.Be Smart-being smart is not only being smart like in school but also in your life decisions you make .It’s also knowing you have a side were your not all that smart. It’s not being smart but acting smart. Being smart is not only what you yourself know but take into consideration other people’s ideas and thoughts and learn new things.

“Intelligence will never stop being beautiful”

3.Be involved in good works-Being involved in good works is for example being involved In school like clubs or sports but also being involved in good works is like being involved with good. For example like good feelings or good thoughts or a good attitude. Doing good in school at work in a sport pretty much anywhere you can be involved in good works

“Good work takes hard work”

4.Be clean-to be clean is not only keeping a good hygiene but also trying to stay away maybe from negativity or anything that can “dirty” you emotionally or spiritually. Like for example we take showers to be clean as possible we can do good things to stay clean emotionally and spiritually. Like when you take a shower it helps you have a good appearance well keeping clean spiritually and emotionally will help you feel good about yourself because you know you’re doing the right thing.

“Who are you to judge the lifer I live? I know I’m not perfect and I don’t have to be but before you start pointing fingers… make sure your hands are clean!”

5.Be True-Being true is being true to others but to yourself also. Being true to yourself is for example being yourself when you fake someone that you’re not your only lying to yourself. Be true to you because there are a few people out there who will be true to you . Being true to others is being loyal to them is being respectful and trustworthy. It doesn’t take a lot to be true to someone or even to yourself when you are true to yourself you start to love yourself and the people around you.

“keep it simple, keep it honest, keep it you”

6.Be Positive-Being positive is very important in life. It not only helps you over come obstacles but it helps you become a better person it helps you be happier in life because your not focusing on the negativity. It is sometimes hard to stay positive in certain situations because you feel like there is no positive side to a hard situation or you want to know the reason why its happening to you but there is always a positive side to everything..

“Every day may not be good but there’s something good in everyday”

7.Be Humble-to be humble is to help others when they are in need to be humble is to not take too much pride into yourself sure it’s good to have pride in yourself but not be arrogant either because you still had to work to get to where you are now just like another person that you might look down upon is doing the same thing no one should think there higher than the other person and put them down we all do the same thing to get what we want and that is work hard.

“Be humble you could be wrong”

8.Be Still-be still is to not worry to be peaceful within yourself and know that everything is ok and to stand firm and not let any bad situation trouble you because that what keeps you up at night and brings you down, know that everything will be ok. Have Pease in you because that’s the only way you don’t feel restless. Have patience and piece don’t let anything disturb your soul.

Be still and know that I am God – psalm 46:

9.be prayerful

          Commitment

Definition: the state of being dedicated to a cause, activity, etc.

Quote: “Commitment is pushing yourself when no one else is around”

What I think this quote means is that when your comited to something you accept no excuses no negativity no nothing only results even when there is no one there for you or who believes in you, you become comited because the thing you want just became more needed and important to you. For example like in a sport it takes a lot of commitment to be in a sport you have to commit your heart into not only the good parts but the hard parts also. Being interested in something is a whole different thing you only do it when its convenient for yourself but when your comited your ambitious you know exactly what you want and you will not let anyone stop you. No matter how hard the situation gets you have to stay commited.

                   A Smile J

Definition: Form one's features into a pleased, kind, or amused expression, typically with the corners of the mouth turned up and the front teeth exposed. 

Quote: “I have many problems in my life. But my lips don’t know that” – Charlie Chaplin

What I think this quote is trying to say is that no matter how many problems you have in life you always have to smile no matter what even if it’s a fake smile it still feels good to smile it shows you and other people you wont let your problems bring you down. Some people need your smile. Smiling just makes you feel warm inside and reassures you that everything is ok. Be that smile in someone else’s life. Turn that frown upside down! J

                                      Disciplined

Definition: showing a controlled form of behavior or a way of working.

I think being disciplined is a very important thing because it teaches you that when you do something bad there will be consequences it teaches you how to respect others. For example lets say you have a child and they do something bad like disrespecting someone or stealing something. You have to discipline that child not always by spanking them but teaching them and if they keep on doing it then that when the spanking comes in , I believe in spanking a child because that’s how I was raised , NOT abuse either. Its good to be disciplined even though it gets annoying but it teaches you what is right from wrong. It doesn’t also just have to do with correcting someone else but also yourself. Even if you don’t want to do something you have to do it for example wake up for work its not easy but you have to discipline yourself.

   

      "Decisions Determine Destiny”

I think what this quote is trying to say is that the decisions that you make determine your future for example if you make a bad decision like doing drugs or not caring about school it’ll affect your life for the worse like not getting enough money or not accomplishing your dream because even the badest people have dream, But if you make good decisions like doing good in school or being good or at least trying to be good it’ll make your life better and set you in the right path to a good destiny.

                     Caring

Definition: Displaying kindness and concern for others

Quote: “people who hide their feelings usually care the most”

Well from my personal self I relate to this quote as im sure many people do also. I tend to hide my feelings a lot for the sake of not getting hurt. It comes off as “cold hearted” to a lot of people but in reality I care the most its just the part of getting hurt is what holds people back to show that they care. Because they once cared to much but for the wrong person but we shouldn’t let one person stop us from showing that we care because sometimes the other person needs that affection they need to know someone cares about them thats when you have to be the “hero” for someone else and not just for yourself.

 

            Boldness

Definition: Not hesitating in the face of actual or possible danger or rebuff; courageous and daring.

Quote: “boldness is a mask for fear, however great”

What this quote is saying is that whenever your in fear you have to face the fear and be bold its like no matter how much you’re scared and pretend that your bold its actually a great thing because your facing that fear, your not letting that fear intimidate you. Its knowing or feeling you cant do it but you do it anyway because its better to do it than to keep quite.  

 

   

              Attitude

Definition: A settled way of thinking or feeling about someone or something, typically one that is reflected in a person’s behavior

Quote: “bad attitudes will ruin your team”

What this quote is saying is that when you have a bad attitude like putting down people or always thinking negative will not only hurt you but other people. Not only does your personality say a lot about you but also your attitude. Your attitude can be your friend or your worst enemy.  

“A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder” – Thomas Carlyle

What I think this quote is saying is that when a man doesn’t have goals or doesn’t know what hes doing in life doesn’t know were hes going or how to steer his life and take control of it. When you have a goal you have like a vision of that your life is going to be sometimes it comes out exactly like you wanted and sometimes it doesn’t but you know what to do next. A ships rudder helps it go and steer just like your goals in life, if you have the right goals you will steer yourself into success and the life you wanted. 

              Assertiveness

Definition: The quality of being self-assured and confident without being aggressive.

Quote: “Assertiveness is your ability to act in harmony with your self-esteem without hurting others”

What I think this quote means is that you should be confident in yourself but not to cocky or think that your better than everyone else. Assertiveness is when you know what you’re doing your sure of yourself but it doesn’t mean to put other people down when they are lost. Assertiveness is like being in  the middle of considering people’s feelings and not hurting them but also considering your own and not let anyone walk all over you.  

    

                                                                         Accountability

 Definition: the fact or condition of being accountable; responsibility 

Quote: “it’s not only what we do, but also what we do not do for which we are accountable”

I think what this quote means is that we are accountable for anything that we do either good or bad being accountable is being responsible not only do you have to be accountable for when you do something bad but also when you do something good.
