"How the Internet Works"

What i learned is that the internet is opened to anyone also the internet ships binary information , information is made of bits which can be described as any pair of opposites. The people that invented internet working protocol is Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn to make communication possible also if your phone or laptop uses Wifi , the Wifi   is connected to a internet service provider and the ISP connects us to many different devices around the world. All the different devices on the internet have unique addresses. A system called the Domain Name System associates names with the corresponding addresses. 

            The 10 Keys to Personal Power

                                

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.”

What this means is that you have to know what you want in life, you have to have clarity on where you are going in life and your goals. 

Key 2: Competence

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

What this means is that when you really want something you do It well and not sloppy. You have to work hard for it and not just sit around waiting for it to happen. It not only good to reach your goal but doing it well also. Knowing that you did everything you could to reach your goal but you did it well will make you feel proud.

                      The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Habit 1: Be Proactive

“Habit 1 is the key to unlocking all the other habits and that’s why it comes first. It says, “I am the captain of my life. I can choose my attitude. I’m responsible for my own happiness or unhappiness. I am in the driver’s seat of my destiny, not just a passenger”

Reflection: Being proactive is very important because being proactive gets the jobs done you don’t need to depend on other people but yourself. Can-do people are proactive people. You have to be proactive with your life to get where you want to get. It comes with challenge yourself also and trying new things so you can know about other stuff that you’re used to. You have to make your life useful for yourself not sitting around doing nothing while you have all these big dreams and opportunities. 

School Break Days

What I did over winter break is really nothing I did some shopping, slept and ate all day. The places I went to was just pretty much the mall nowhere far or anything. I didn’t really meet new people since I didn’t go out much but I did meet some old friends of my parents. I watched many movies manly ones that had come out last year but I needed to catch up on. I didn’t really watch or play any sports. A CTR experience that I had was when this lady I saw at a store was carrying a lot of stuff so I helped her out and got a cart for her. The book that I read was vampire academy I’m still not done reading it though. I did no homework because they didn’t leave us any

                                                     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.
