Reflection

I think that the boy chose the right, by giving the ball to that other little boy. By choosing the right that boy got the chance to feel good about himself, and he got a reward around 10 times the size as the original prize. This just shows the good the you can get, when you choose the right.

People

(habits 31-35)

31. They are secure. They do not derive their sense of worth of self from what they own, who they know, where they live and what they look like.

32. They are generous and kind. They take pleasure in helping others achieve.

33. they are humble and they are happy to admit mistakes and to apologize. They are confident in their ability, but not arrogant. They are happy to learn from others. They are happy to make others look good rather than seek their own personal glory

34. They are adaptable and embrace change, while the majorities are creatures of comfort and habit. They are comfortable with, and embrace, the new and the unfamiliar.

35. They keep themselves in shape physically, not to be mistaken with the training for the Olympics or being obsessed with their body. They understand the importance of being physically well. They are not all about looks they are more concerned with function and health. Their body is not who they are, it’s where they live.

“You are accountable for your actions”


-Thomas s. monson

 

 

 

Reflection: that I make a choice, no matter what it is you are responsible. No one can make you to do something. A person won’t do something that they don’t want to do.

50 HABITS OF SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE

 (habits 21-30)

21. They don’t believe in, or wait for fate, destiny, chance or luck to determine the shape of their future. They believe in and are committed to actively and consciously creating their own best life.

22. While many people are reactive, they are proactive. They take action before they have to.

23. They are most effective than most at handling there emotion. They feel like we all do but are not slaves to their emotions.

24. They are good communicators and they consciously work at it.

25. They have a plan for their life and work methodically at turning that plan into reality. Their life is not a series of unplanned events and outcomes.

26. Their desire to be exceptional means that they typically do things that most won’t. They become exceptional by choice. We’re all faced with life-shaping decisions almost daily. Successful people make the decisions that others won’t and don’t.

27. While many other people are pleasure junkies and avoid displeasure and discomfort at all costs, successful people understand the value and benefits of working through the tough stuff that most would avoid.

28. They have identified there core values (what is important to them) and they do their best to live a life which is reflective of those values.

29. They have balance. While they know that terms money and success are not interchanable. They understand that people, who are successful on a financial level only, are not successful at all. Unfortunately we live in a society that teaches that money is success. Like many other things, money is a tool. It’s certainly not a bad thing but ultimately: it’s another resource. Unfortunately, too many people worship it.

30. They understand the importance of discipline and self-control. They are strong. They are happy to take the road less traveled by.
