Class Evaluation 

1. The things I like about this class is that we get to learn how to make out blogs seen with everyone, also learning about keys to success in life and how we get to follow those types of keys. I also like working with computers I get to know a lot of stuff that I didn't know about, and I just think that's really cool. 
2. That we don't get to work with partners or in groups with our lab work. That's the only thing I don't like about this class but for the most that's it. 
3. To improve in this class I would like to learn how to code or create better websites and also to learn shortcuts in the computer. Maybe even create online games so other people could play.
4. My highlight for this class is to improve my typing skills and to learn more about HTML.
5. I absolutely did my best in this class, I did everything that I was assigned to do. I really put a lot of effort towards my work and my Electronic Portfolio. Also the activities we do and reading my life planning goals. 
6. I am doing what I'm supposed to be doing in class, and one of those things are reading and writing about my life planning goals, so as the Sharpening the Saw for five minutes. This really helped me with my work and what to do in the future. also using them at my advantage.
7. I will try to be a CTR person in the future, I need to start acting like a good person to everyone and also be good to myself the most. I hope to make the best out of everything I do, leaving all the bad stuff behind me and just try to live a long healthy life with my family.

The 10 Keys to Personal Power 

Brain Tracy 

Briantracy.com 

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: I think clarity means what you want to do, mainly something important in your life. have a vision of that career you want to achieve, others may put you down but you have the ability to keep on going. have specific goals get to choose many of them and find out what's good for you. never give up on that one  specific goal, always have a positive thought about that one goal, and chase it. always have an idea, try to plan it so when you really want to complete that goal it would be easier to accomplish.

Key 2: Competence

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

Reflection: this quote means if you commit to some certain things in life you can get really far with your future. the harder you work the better you get, some people don't study or work for the things they want in life. they just don't do it and doesn't really bother them that they can't do it. people just have to work and study with an education in order to live and have food on your plate every single day, same goes with money and time. So make sure to take those opportunities in life so you could live happy and wealthy. 

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: This quote talks about being concentrated in life and working on the good things you need to do. Concentrating yourself into the important stuff can really make you know a lot of things, also using the best time for it. either studying for a test, concentrating in class to finish work, or going home doing homework as well. Put yourself in that comfortable situation where you could learn and have a quiet moment and get to relax, thinking about all the positive thoughts you have in your head. this what makes you concentrate even more. 

Key 4: Common Sense 

• Train your mind 
• think things through
• listen to your intuition 
• learn from setbacks

Reflection: I think this is a great set up of how to learn and educate yourself from things you have learned on your own. the setbacks of how to do better next time or in the future as well. listen to your thoughts that's going in your head of what not to do or whats good to do. train your mind to behave, good think good and work good. all of those steps can acknowledge you to learn better from the past mistakes you have probably done. 

Key 5: Creativity 
"Except the fact that every human being is a genius. The hallmark of creativity is asking questions. The people who are most are the most creative ask the most questions 

Reflection: I think it's true many people that are smart and mostly are a genius do ask a lot of questions to find out more and learn more as well. those type of people figure out the best information out there and the best easiest ways to be better perform better and compete better. people who don't ask many questions as others don't have that type of mind set about learning other new things. or they just find it easier by themselves to learn or that already know how to. It is important to have questions about what you are interested in, so that way you have a better idea of learning it. There is different kinds of people out there that may think different, That's what I think, but every one is smart at there own way. 


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

Reflection: All this requires you to be a better listener and not having to do bad in classes or with anyone that you talk to, friends, family, teachers, professors. This involves a lot of you're effort to be the best at the work you want to learn and want to achieve, in life you need to know what you are good at and to go further with that goal in order to get a good job and earn really good amount of money. Also be saving that money that currency and spend it on the stuff you actually need not just stuff to buy and perceive it. 


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 your say you'll do something you do it."



Reflection: be consistent and know what you are doing, be careful and try not to make any mistakes.  You should know how to get the job done, be the best and learn things the right way. always be consistent with work, all the important stuff, looking out for any mistakes and correcting them. 

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: I think this quote is correct, it absolutely says the right thing. Knowing how to commit and making good decisions in school or whether it's in sports etc. many people out there can commit to the stuff they're passionate about what they love. But some are not committed to anything, you just have to commit or else what else are you going to learn and be good at, there is a lot of things out there that are fun and enjoyable but again a lot of people just don't take the opportunity to take it. in america there is many jobs and good benefits that you can get here and no where else. but by achieving your goal you have to work for it and earn it. 

Key 10: Confidence 

"You only get confidence by doing things over and over again."
Reflection: having good confidence will help you maintain the goals you really want to reach, also you can be more confident if you put the effort in the work you are doing. a lot of people don't have confidence about themselves they just have no confidence and don't actually like the way they are or aren't good at anything. I mean any one has a passion that they love to do, people do. 

Reflection: 

reading about the 10 Keys to Personal Power helped me acknowledge it the way I am to everyone, The way I need to perfect myself, The way I apply good things into my life my body has to be healthy and have a good affect on me. they benefit me, I know the keys and how to relate it to my life, gaining more great experiences and through the worst I look to these 10 Keys and practice to better my life and the way I am as a character. I will also be using these 10 Keys to compare them to my Life Planning Goals. I think it would work out great for me and benefit me in the future. All of this has an answer to all of my problems, mentally and physically I will work my way through everything, It would take some time but always be patient because at the end you'll have results and trust me they will come out to be positive and the best news you'll ever had. 

Freelance Post/ Character and Personality

I learned that with dealing or helping others with some types of problems, try to set an example of how you can fix it or how to show them the same character and personality to them back. it might take a week or even more up to some time to help someone in need that you want to be good to someone and show them the respect and care. this is very important a lot of people just depend on hope, it's not always a success, talking to some one might even help more than just hoping the problem would work out by itself. these are valuable things that you need to learn and understand when you are in these types of situations. 

Freelance Post

yesterday I was skating with my friends and i was having a lot of fun, learned a lot of new tricks. I also went to the skate park and skated there too. i love skating at salt lake, that's where I train and do all my tricks. i don't really skate anymore how i used to, now I'm more focused on other things like in school mostly that gets in my way, it takes away my time and i don't get to have that free time i used too. but I still continue loving my passion to skate I hope i don't try to stop but all I need to do is to try harder and have all that confidence in me. skating was my first habit and now became a lifestyle knowing that I skate well enough, I hope i'll get a chance to be on a team and to get sponsored. 

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 means like to be motivated and smart about things. do things with precaution, and just caring about good stuff in your life. doing this to other people helping others with homework, teaching them how to do good things, maybe teach some kids how to ride a skateboard. this habit could keep you going and the stuff you need to do with your life. its the main key to success.

Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind  
"Control your own destiny or someone else will." (Jack Welch)
"When you know where you intend to end up, you know where are you are now." (covey)

Reflection: I think this habit really opens up your mind to new things in life, think about having to do good in school and in jobs as well. control your life with a passion, love that passion, and continue to do what you love to do. a lot of people go through life chasing their dream and accomplishing it, many others don't. a lot of people just give up to fast, they need to learn and skill the passion they love. so they can perfect it. that's how I think of it, many things are impossible, but you can show the possibilities that many people won't try to do and you'll prove it. 

Habit 3: Put First Things First 

"Organize and execute around priorities"

Reflection: usually putting things in first like working on your homework and then skate, or like studying for a big test and then get to have your free time. a lot of things you need to put in first is mostly your education time. all the fun things after. organizing stuff that you need necessary and also mainly things you need for your future job. notice the important things and follow your career set, what you want to do and how you want to do it. succeeding in life could get you really far, you just have to put in the time for that job. and then you'll have it. 

Habit 4: Think Win- Win 

"Think win-win or no deal." 

Reflection: thinking about winning will help you to win. many things can help you to win and stay focused. I realized doubting yourself won't motivate you at all to do something in life. if you fail don't just give up, you have to keep going. pushing the limits and the boundaries can cause many positive things in your way. believing in yourself will motivate yourself, also get to talk to different people around you that may help you with your career. 

Habit 5: Seek First to understand, then to be understood 

"Diagnose before you prescribe." 

Reflection: looking into stuff first would be the best thing to do, then after looking and planning you could finally do something about it and make it happen. reaching those types of goals can make your life worth more, also making it to the top. therefore you won't have any mistakes in your life, living a good life with good remarks. listing the the things you want to accomplish, write it down on a notebook or diary, this would always make your life easier. 

Habit 6: Synergize

"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts(1+1=3)"

Reflection: I think this means that doubling up your work and the things you are passionate about. one thing is greater than another people might say, but i think the passion and dreams are better than anything in the world. you live to that moment to do what you love and your inspired by it. you have that energy to do anything and forget about about the bad things in your life in that short moment of success. i usually try not to doubt my self but i really want to get out of poverty and help my family bring them out as well. knowing school is there for me to learn different opportunities and earn skills is very important to me, but i also love the sport i do and want to make it a career out of it, both my plan A and plan B. i just want to work my butt off until i make it, hopefully i do reach that successful point in my life and won't have to worry about nothing else anymore. 

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw
The Four Dimensions of Self-Renewal: Physical, Mental, Spiritual, Social/Emotional 

Reflection: I think everything has to do with these 4 types of characters about yourself and how to learn these. Physical, Mental, Spiritual, Social and Emotional all these have to do with everything you do in life, every day when you go somewhere, talking to people, loving them and caring about them. being social can help you to get to know people also by hanging out with those type of peers. having to have fun with them you'll really be happy in life about what you did with friends and loved ones. 

Reflection: Reading the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People changed my whole perspective of life and I lived it. I plan to live my life different, being able to learn these habits could change the way i talk to people, I can make more friends at school or anywhere else. One of my favorite habits is Habit number 2, this habit really helped me find my own path in life knowing I can better my self at things that i was really good at. Like a passion I love to do or a sport, giving the time to read habit number 2 finding what I love to do made me more motivated to try it, also to prepare me for more upcoming advantages in the future. Realizing that now i get to think about something important that can change my life in the future, it made me feel good about my self. I hope to continue what I am doing and following into good foot steps down the road. 

The time I dyed my Hair

The time I dyed my hair gray was probably the funniest thing I've ever done to myself or weirdest. i was going for a new look many of my friends said that it would look good on me but I just ignored it at first. then after they kept telling me to dye it, i was like fine ill just do it already and wanted to see how it would come out. So my friend helped me out to do it and it came out pretty cool at first then after a couple of days my hair started to tunr like a greenish color because i had washed it too much. but it still looked cool and i liked it. after a couple of months i didnt even want it no more, because my hair was bleached and i didnt really like it after the dye had came off. i was pretty mad about it but it was my choice to bleach and dye my hair. 

How To Remember Names

How to Win Friends and Influence People 

Six ways to Make People like You...

Rule 1: Become genuinely interested in other people. 

1) "Do this and you will be welcome anywhere." 

2) "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."

3) "Ask questions to other people, questions that they would enjoy answering." 

 I personally agree with this statement and this rule. because you can make friends and that interest you in a nice good way. friends that care about you and what you also say about them. have friends that have good influence, not bad influence. correct each others judgements or opinions about each other. have good talks with them, show them that you are grateful to them, and love them as the way ther are. give them good advice they'll use in the future, or when they need to use it. always help out and try to be fair with those friends. for me making friends is pretty easy but you have to know if you trust them or not, there is a lot of people that are two faces or don't care about you. it's always important too know someone that would really care. 

"friendship without interest is one of the rare and beautiful things in life"

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? Then 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." 

I agree with this rule because it shows a lot of respect and what you care about others. being happy is one thing people might not get to be. some are stressed out in life, they don't smile at all when it comes to their daily routine. many other different people have may have a smile on their face almost every other day in their life. staying happy can really help out the negative stuff in your life of course. you can't always force someone to put a smile on one's face, it's just the matter of positive things you do to make that happen. putting a smile on someone else's face could take some time but at the end it would work out eventually and hope that it does. 

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." 

 I agree with this rule because you neeed to find good people around you and remember there names so you could be able to talk to them again. not having to struggle looking for those good people. eventually have good hope for yourself and others too as well. remebering those good names will help you make more friends and get to hang out with them more often and to see each other. giving time to them, thety would care about you and others would remember your name as well, it's very nice knowing a lot of different types of people out there in the world some may be bad, some may be good. it's always good to know who are your favorites and some that are not get the bad negative people away from you. 

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

1) "If you aspire to be good conversationalist, be an attentive listener."

2) "Remember that the man you are talking to is a hundred times more interested in himself and his wants his problems than he is in you and your problems. 

this is a true thing to think about and remember about. this could help you a lot with remembering to be a good listener in school and with other people as well. a good listener always remembers how to listen and to pay attention, they take notes or just learn how to memorize things in their head most of the time. they use those skills too listen good and that's how they learn new things. Encourage others to learn how to talk about themselves having a nice simple conversation with them and friends. so they wont be so shy with others, need to be more sociable with people. having problems with others learning how to talk, maybe you could teach them a better way to start a conversation. 

Rule 5: Talk in terms of the other man's interest.

" The royal road to man's heart is to talk to him about the things he treasures most." 

this is important to remember a man's interest in some things, you could talk about it about them and visualize what they like. many people don't really know how to take things especially men. some are just to serious about things and handle them way to unprofessional. some other men don't take it as serious, because they know how you want to learn about there interest. a lot of people have a heart with their passion and some don't want to stop loving their passion what they do in life. thats why they get motivated and they start working hard. get good jobs get money is what everyone loves to interest them. 

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 feel important and appreciated works magic." 

I really agree with this rule it makes a lot of sense. making other people feel important could make them feel really good about them selves, trying to bring positivity to the world and to people. being nice to them, complementing, caring for them. doing the urge to be respectful to someone else could help the way you may talk to other people or family and friends. this is really important finding new friends and to learn to be polite. everyone should follow this rule, they will feel rewarded by doing this rule. you can do it, possibilities are endless. 

Final Reflection: What I feel about these 6 posts is that it is very important of what they say about doing good in life and how to prepare to talk to people you don't know. these rules are great advice for future reference. maybe this could help you learn of something of value. these 6 ways is for people to like your personality and to do well when talking to them. this would make my confidence level go up. just having to be positive about everything not to stress yourself about it.

today's post would be about the debate about Trump and Hilary Clinton. this is the day were many people get the chance to vote there best future president. both powerful people that could run the country next, we just need a good president to eliminate all the bad stuff and the way our economy is crashing, it needs to be better not slacking off on the streets. two of these debaters have done a great job but it leads to one. that person might make it and to become the president of the United States. this could change the history of the U.S, we can make our own decisions and laws. these two candidates need to put out good statements. we need someone that could help the environment and the way the system is falling down.


Learning to take Risks
My thoughts about taking risks is that there is a chance you might fail in a class that you are trying to pass or a sport you are trying to learn and then you fail to lose. I've had many risks that I had to make in my life. Because I am a skateboarder I like to figure things out, do the tricks that could possible get me really hurt bad. taking risk could be scary at sometimes I would get hurt a lot and still continue to get hurt. it's a fun sport but dangerous as well. many people don't understand the things they are doing. they need to know the risk at everything, even if its a sport, education, driving, being a doctor etc. once you fail, who knows if you might come back stronger or weaker. some risks may be worth to try but some are just too impossible.

No days off 

I am sick at the moment, I've been sick for the past few days. I didn't feel like coming to school, I did not feel good. the good thing is that I'm getting better. I haven't missed school, and I been doing my homework. School for me is alright lately I haven't been caring enough for it, I still don't know if I am going to college or just work. Don't know and I am concerned about it. sometimes I'm just physically stressed and mentally tired I just need to get these thoughts out of my head. Sometimes i listen to music and think about what I'm doing in life. that's the only way I get to think about stuff. My parents talk about me in school I just ignore it, but I do care about education I'm just not trying harder. when your sick everything its just harder and stressful. I always take medicine if I'm sick it just makes you better and feels good. there's not a lot of time I think i rush things but I want too not cause I need too. 

"The Six Attitudes of High Achievers" 

John R. Noe 

"The Six Attitudes of High Achievers" 

High Achievers....

1. Make no small plans 

many people end up making up small plans and they want to skip every single step in their life. you can't just do that. it takes plenty of time to come up with a good plan, and it has to be long. the ones who basically take a short plans don't end up being so great, as the ones who make it really far and to be a high achiever are those who make good long plans that will benefit them in their life. for example making a long business plan, medical plan or just a college spending plan. these types of different plans of education need a long planning process in order to succeed in life also in the future. searching for new stuff that could help you and your education be better at what you are. consider your self as a more faster learner, work harder, faster, and work together with the people you have partnered up with you, the ones who believe in you. making longer plans will be a perfect idea of what you are doing, this could really define how good you are at something. 

2. Do what they fear
do what people fear of you or what you want to do. many fear that one day you might be successful. 

having to be rich, money in your pocket, a good job. having many good choices in life that will scare people about you, but having to do with education and money. if you have more money than the other person that has less also more education and they don't, your most likely to win because you have that power in your mind and hands. you could do many things with a lot of money as well as having an education. this world needs more intelligent people, many do not have the skill or to be smart to make it, motivate your self to get that skill so you could beat the others and win. and
 "Always do what you are afraid to do".




3. Are willing to prepare 
this means you are willing to prepare for anything in the future. educational purposes, a lot of people don't realize that they have to prepare for their own things, to evaluate personal stuff. this also means to prepare something like a spot event or extreme sports. that's how I think of it, be motivational about it give it 100%, make sure you calculate things and take risks. not many people do the stuff they want too because they do not have the time to do it. On their free time is work and work, its not really fair that they can't do anything in their free time. preparing might take a long process to over come the obstacles that you are preparing for. it might take your whole life to learn and practice but at the end it's worth it. you don't want to fear nothing, if you don't fear you don't stop.
"Most people have the will to win, Few have the will to prepare to win."



4. Are willing to risk Failure 
willing to make a lot of sacrifices and to be good with with things, means that you are a great risk taker. many people in this world don't really take a lot of risks, they might think about it too much. reaching to the top is harder than what it looks like. the one thing you are going to experience is that one day you'll fail. no matter what you do or try to fix it. many people would fail at that moment. things happen for a reason, or some people make a lot of mistakes. But you could learn from them. some high achievers don't really get what they want for free, sometimes they just have to work for it. being smart and intelligent is just a gift that you have, or you really learned a lot during your childhood age until now. from this point smarter people are willing to risk anything they want, because they know if they fail, they could easily get back up and win.
"If your life is free of failures, you're not taking enough risks"

5. Are teachable 
many things can be teachable, you can teach yourself to become better at school, you could teach yourself how to become a better person and to be good with other peers. also teaching yourself to use good vocabulary when talking to other people. there could be many ways of teaching yourself in general you just have to find ways of doing it. for example if you aren't good at something like a sport or in a subject at school. you can practice for it and take notes of what the stuff you had missed out on. so when you look back on the things you missed, those little mistakes you learn from them and to not do them again. teaching yourself and to others could benefit you learn a whole new set of things.
"To stop learning is to stop growing. Always remain teachable."

6. Have heart 
pretty much to be loyal to everyone even loved ones. have a heart and care about things, also to other people. many people in this world do not have a good heart and just end up being miserable to everyone else. to achieve there is many good things out there you might like that interest you. have a heart for sports, look into jobs that you are into. have a heart for education or a passion that you may like and do it all your life. think about the stuff you need to succeed in life and basically set goals, in order to achieve them right. not setting goals or standards you may never reach it and make it to the top. things could end up going bad for not having good heart for it and not sticking to what you want to do that could benefit you and your life in the future.



Final Reflection: 
What I feel about these 6 Attitudes of High Achievers, they really help you with everything you need in your life. some good advice. and this would help you with your future. make sure you study each and every achievement so you could make it far. make it to college, make it to a good paying job, also make it to the top of your game and make everyone else see you as a hard working person. i believe people can actually make it further in life. but many people are slacking off not doing what they are supposed to. becoming a high achiever will take some process to take its not that easy to accomplish it. you need to give it time and reflect back on your work. and at the end you'll start to see results and the good things you have done for yourself and say, "wow that really paid off". 

Ways to be Happy

Ways To Be 

9 ways to be Happy and Make Something of your life

Gordon B. Hinckley 

                                                       1. Be Grateful
\many people have been very ungrateful in their entire life. maybe is because they don't get the attention they have for themselves or anyone. being grateful and kind is a big part of giving back to to the people letting them know that everyone in this world cares. being very respectful, kind, enthusiastic, caring, loving, sharing etc. all these types of behavior to people will give them the respect and of being grateful to each other. not all people are grateful for what they have in life. they are just lonely, depressed and needs someone to cheer them up for once. we need nice and good people, so this world wont be fulled with ungrateful people.

"Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom."

The way this would apply to me is being grateful for my family, everything that has been given to me from people.

2. Be Smart

                       In order to be a smart person you have to behave in a good manner, listen really good to the teachers, also anything that most be important. there is a lot of different ways of being smart you just have to find those things. people don't realize how smart they are until they actually do something good, or just find what they're smart at. this means many people could be smart but some don't want to be or just end up being hateful to each other. you need to be smart and intelligent in this world many things are happening, not many people have the knowledge of what's going on. Therefore being a very smart person can help you with everything that happens in school or jobs, just out there in the real world. this is why its important to learn a lot from school, jobs etc. there's a lot of smart people out there and you just have to be one of them or try to beat them. 

"Intelligence is important, being smart matters, paying wise matters, but what matters being is humble and yourself."

the way how this applies to me is that being smart can mean a lot of things but what really matters is educating yourself and try to beat others. 

3.Be Involved in Good Works

                   being involved in good works can help you with a lot, good jobs, environments, having a great behavior and just being positive. many people do not want to be involved good things or activities, not a lot of people take that advantage and to be a good work person. this could be involved in sports as well, it is easy to be involved in good works. something that will help you figure out, fun times or just being a very respectful person in the office, living a good life. there is many things to be involved in, if there wasn't good works how else would you act, respond, respect, or behave. no one wants negativity it just brings bad vibes, ugly behavior, also bad mood. having integrity in good works, do what is right, even in tough situations. 

"To accomplish great things, we must dream as well as act."

4. Be Clean 

being clean could mean in every different way. like saying not doing any drugs because that makes me a dirty looking person. you want to stay clean from your health and body. being a clean friend also refers to not being a mean person or acting dirty or disrespectful. this could also mean you are clean to god and your religion as well. many people that are religious can be very honest with each other and especially god. not using bad language to other people, having amount respect, learning how to be clean it's a process. some people may not be used to it, they find other ways to become clean. having a clean matter of sports, this could count as being clean, playing fair, playing by the rules, learning how to play. There is a lot of choices to be clean you just have to find that type of action and experience of how it works. then other people would look at you and say "wow you are a clean good person." It would always stick to you no matter what. 

"I am responsible for the quality of love and happiness in my life" 

5. Be True 

To be true you have to tell the truth to everyone and not be truthful about it. be true to your family, friends, love ones. and being a respectful person, telling the truth even though it's a bad choice you made, or a bad things you have done. or something good you had made in your life choice, how did you treat one of your friends, did you behave good in class, didn't get into any fights, or sad any bad language to the teacher. telling the truth could help you without being nervous or speechless. takes out emotions and makes you a more honest person. not being truthful can cause you more anger or make you a bad person, say that doesn't care about nothing in life and just treats others wrong and tells lies. there is a lot of people that don't say the truth, maybe they're shy or embarrassed about themselves. others don't mind about telling the truth they just love to be honest and want to be a better person. 

"Have the guts to be true to yourself.

nothing more." 

6. Be Positive 

being positive is to do behave good with your parents and other citizens. you need to be in a positive attitude at all times, choosing the right, complement others while they complement you back. making people smile and laugh with them, then everyone could be in a positive mood. having a good time. playing with your cousins, nephews, brothers or sisters. any one could be in a positive attitude in school, having to talk to friends, studying together, and having fun with them. if behaving bad and talking back to people how are you going to have friends or be apart of something. that's why being positive with people can help you be friends with other people also have good relationships with them. being positive can take a while to get used to, many don't want to be positive but its very important. 

"When everything feels like an uphill struggle; Just think of the view from the top." 

7. Be Humble

to be humble you have to get out of your comfort zone and be bold or brave say what you want to say, be yourself, show some of your talents. try to be friendly with other people be humble with them family as well, be proud of what you have. with your friends you could be very outgoing and just have fun in life with it. many people are humble in this world about what they want to know, what they want to learn, learn some good advice, and many more great opportunities. being polite to people, having self-respect, and just be gently with one another. just encourage yourself, encourage others to be humble as well. try to be very modest of how you do things, don't be too confident but do it well. that's what I think humble means from my perspective. 

"Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self given. Be careful." 

8. Still

to be still you have to be patient and take a lot of things with precaution. mostly take things with care, treat others with respect. take everything slow and try to calm down there's no need to rush things, that's how people get hurt or make mistakes. if your going fast on everything you might make some bad decisions in life or soon. to be still with god and everyone around you. sometimes you got to meditate in some points in your life. breathing exercises and stretches, take a couple yoga classes or breathing classes as well. life is very short and hard sometimes but its not good to over do things you have certain limits and make sure to use them wisely. 

"Don't ever try to get inside my head it's too dark for you."

9. Be Prayerful 

I think Gordon B. Hinckley  has made an accomplishment about his 9 ways of being successful, but this particular one the last 9 way to be happy is mostly important than the other ones and different about it. praying is important if you are religious you might know how to pray already, and if your don't know how you could learn or tell your parents about it. having faith in god and angels around you, might have a good sense of having a good long life. also praying helps you go through tough times, you need to talk to some one about it. pray about being educated, being healthy, living longer, pray for your family, and to have good luck as well. a lot of people don't believe in god. that's okay it there is many people out there that are like that. my own personal statement about this, I have some faith and do believe in god, or there's points where I say i don't. different reality checks. but mostly i believe in commitment and to confidence I believe i have that ability to do anything. just always have fun and don't let anyone judge you, you came into this world to accomplish something, mostly goals. 

The 9 Ways concluding words by Gordon B. Hinckley

"There they are, nine Be's which, if observed, will bring handsome dividends to any young man or woman. they will add sparkle to your days and peace to your nights. they will save you from heartache and pain.

 they will bring purpose into your life and give direction to your energies. they will bring your friends of your own kind. they will protect you from associations that would pull you down and deflect you from your course.

 This is time to be happy. this is a time to feel joy and make friends and enjoy the best this life has to offer. What I have tried to put forth....are simply a few suggestions, gained from many years of living, to help you do just that. The world will tell that certain kinds of things will bring you happiness - things such as popularity and possessions and satisfying your baser desires.

 If today you find yourself only drifting as a leaf in a stream, get hold of yourself and determine you will do better.

 At railroad grade crossings, signs of warning were once common. Two cross arms were emblazoned with the words, "Stop, Look, Listen." They meant that a train could be roaring down the tracks and you had better be alert. 

I was riding a train in the Midwest years ago. I looked out the window to my left. A road ran parallel to the tracks. A car with a boy and a girl was speeding down the road a little faster than the train. The car moved ahead until I can no longer see it. Suddenly, the locomotive whistle sounded and the train screeched to a halt as the brakes gripped the wheels. We looked out the window on to the other side. There was a mangled car. Police cars soon converged, followed by the ambulance. The boy and girl were both dead. The road they were traveling crossed the tracks. they did not stop, look, or listen. It all happened in an instant.

The better way to Be is the way of these nine Be's 

The years will inevitably pass, and quickly. Today is your day of resolution. Promise yourself to make something good of (your) precious life."
