"It is the engine that powers all blocks of the Pyramid. It is why I chose Industriousness and Enthusiasm as the cornerstones of my Pyramid of Success. It is where everything begins."
Reflection: I think this quote is correct. the meaning to everything it is saying building a Pyramid as an example can help you build new strategies to life and on work experience where ever you go. with this you can perform better at work having to build your way up will be challenging but at the end it will be worth it, everything will be. with Enthusiasm you'll always acknowledge the things you've done.
Block 3: Friendship
"Comes from mutual esteem, respect and devotion. Like marriage it must not be taken for granted but requires joint effort."
Reflection: This quote means that being in a friendship relationship there is some respect and allowing them to respect you as well. friendship take a lot of time to earn and to be with that person that will always put in effort in the friendship circle. people realize it when some one does not treat you right even though you know that they are your friend. and now they know to trust some one else that respects you at all times same as you respect them and what they do.
Block 4: Loyalty
"To yourself and to all those depending upon you. Keep your self-respect."
Reflection: Loyalty is the best thing that describes your-self respect, always depending on yourself to others. Like say if the person you really like or just a great friend you want to be loyal and not disrespect their ideas or what they do and say. Also that person needs to depend on you about what they say or tell you and you should know to respect it. a lot of people should be loyal to each other it would make this a better world and with better friends. I think that's how everyone should be, and not disrespect each other violently.
Block 5: Coorperation
"With all levels of your co-workers. Listen if you want to be heard. Be interested in finding the best way, not in having your own way."
Reflection: I think this means that with having all coorperation in your life can help you be better with other people and how they work with you as well. being interested of finding new ways of making friends and also to work with them finding new levels of making stuff better. listen to other people's advice and make your own to teach others, also having good learning and listening skills to understand, so that way you get the concept about what's new or what's happening now in the real world etc.
Block 6: Ambition
For noble goals "Achievement results from work realizing ambition."
Reflection: Having the ambition to work your way up there where you want to be the best, competing with others that are trying to take your spot, you need to have the ambition to beat them and make them feel that your the best and that no one can touch you. you need to have that mind set of having to win and practice. without ambition you will never be the best, you want achieve that goal that you want, it's better to work hard, make the best results and you'll feel the pain and you will gain from that ambition that payed off.
Block 7: Self- Control
"Practice self-discipline and keep emotions under control. Good Judgement and common sense are essential."
Reflection: Being self controlled is hard for a lot of people to handle and do. many are so stressed out about a lot of things and end up losing control. Some others don't have self-discipline with others there behaviors might change or there attitude as well. Practicing good judgement will help you become a better person and you'll absolutely make more friends.

Block 9: Initiative
"cultivate the ability to make decisions and think alone. Do not be afraid of failure, but learn from it."
reflection: I think Initiative means that making the decisions by yourself and to think alone will give you a high confidence level of being active and responsible about things. Also knowing your standards about what you are doing. Don't be afraid of failure and just go for it, anything you want to do in life you have the right to be whatever you want find your passion and accomplish that goal. Making mistakes will help you proceed, also learn more about what you did wrong. have that courage to go out there and do it again, not a lot people the the chance to do it or practice it. Keep yourself out of trouble, make good/smart decisions and be competitive with other people that want to steal your spot.

Block 11: Sincerity
"Keeps friends"
Reflection: This is really important because the way you act and the way you talk to people, this shows how much of a person you are to them like if you are a bad disrespectful person they probably won't like the way you are to them and won't talk to you. But if you get to talk to them in a nice personal way they'll definitely talk to you and want to be friends with you. Being Sincerity is the number one key with having friends and mostly learning how to talk to one another. Be honest, be fair with them, also the equality with being with them no matter what color or race you have to treat them respectfully and the way you want to be treated.

Reflection: I think what this word means is to adapt to anything that you love and that passion. almost like a hobby something that makes you special at what you do. also it can be very important of what you have to adapt. I would adapt to skateboarding because I've been doing it since I was a little young boy. I also love dirt biking, the things i adapt to are the things that are my passion and that i could always remember how to do it and how to cherish it. it won't be impossible something always has to go your way it has to be possible and if it's not you keep on trying until you can't anymore, your whole life is dependent on it.

I mean everyone has a skill but there is certain things they use it for. some can be for learning quickly, reading, writing, running, skating, dirt biking, basketball, football, and etc. might not be easy to start but working your way up there and getting that skill it will become easier and easier to do.

Reflection: using proper judgement can help you out with making friends and having good people complimenting you back. many people have bad judgement towards others. they just want to act tough and think their cool. making good judgement of others can be very kind and caring of you, they just want to know what you think about how they dress or how you speak, and how you think. there is a lot of hatred in this world but there's only a small good amount people that know how to be judge-mental in a nice respectful way. I usually compliment people but because sometime i know or they know they are being good and respectful to me and if your not then you need to learn how to be and to talk to me.
Block 18: Poise
"Just being yourself. Being at ease in any situation." Graceful and elegant bearing in a person.
Reflection: I think many people are themselves but just many have a bad attitude and others may have a good attitude and be judgeful about it. be grateful about being here in this world alive, it can't be a perfect world but someone may try to live it and they can make it a perfect life. I tend to rely on myself and mostly try not to think about others point of view. I don't like to get involved unless it's necessary. I'm on to a lot of things in my life and how to live it, I try to live it good and try to take risks, also to have fun. But I'm grateful for everything that I have but I don't really mind if I'm not perfect as others.
