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." 

           When this piece of advice states to have a bison and determine where i am going it means to visualize to show what i want to be.To see myself doing that certain objective and see my self succeeding and improving at trying to become that certain objective. Then it says to have a sense of direction  this means to know how your going to manage to arrive to your goal. So you want to know what your going to do like have resources and good  accomplishments and maintain grades things such as that.  What it means by if i do not know were i am going or what i plan to do to get their i am going to fail. This is saying that i must be ready to know what i plan to do so when the chance comes i can manage to accomplish such thing. I wont have to be stuck for someone else that wont ever lead any where.

   

Key 2: Competence

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

    What it means by if i commit to excellence opportunities will come my way is that if i manage to be productive and put in work. Multiple opportunities will show at my door with hard work that will come along side it but does chances will end up coming soon. So what it means by the harder you work the better you get is that the more effort you put into improving yourself the better things might turn out. If you put the time and effort into something instead of just slacking of you can seriously really improve. So how will i apply this to my life i will try to suck more opportunities and improve myself using this quote. I will also apply effort and time to my life and making it much better and try to improve on any way. 

Key 3: Concentration

"Make the best use of your time. Ask yourself “Is this the best use of my time?” before you start anything." 

This quote inspires me to do many things for example its saying to me to do the best time of my time so this stating that i should work as hard as i can with my time. Honestly because time is really valuable and we cant afford to be wasting it and doing all these useless things. So i need to make sure that when i am on the clock i am using my time wisely and trying to do the best i can possibly be. Also i must be sure to always be asking myself if using the best of my time wisely or i am just using it in something useless and pointless so that something that i also must figure out. I will apply this to my daily life by always making sure i use the best of my time. So i will start to always keep track of my time i will try my time to stop from procrastinating like a little kid i will act more like a adult. 

Key 4: Common Sense

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

   This quote represents common sense by that it is showing us the basic structure of how to improve our state of mind. For example it is inferring to improve our thoughts and try to make them positive and to also always think with clear state OF mind. It also saying to listen to your intuition by that it is if your mind is saying something you do not want to ignore it you want to go along with it because it is your mind so it wants the best for you. My favorite one is learn from setbacks by that it means learn from mistakes and try to improve from them instead of putting your self down. I will apply this by following all these step which can lead to making me a much better person. 

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 creative ask the most questions."

What is creativity? Is being inspirational in the worst of situation showing a smart creative mind in the best of moments. Creativity is very good because it allows you to express yourself and to not become boring like every one else these days. SO you honestly want to show how bright you can be with a creative mind and show that even fun minds can be smart and secure. So also be as creative as you possibly can dont let the things others do stop you do what you think pops . Do not do something that every one always does . Like mom and dad would say always do you and it is okay to be different never follow others.

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

What is consideration ? Many say different thinks but today i will give you my perspective of what is consideration. One meaning to consideration is putting others first showing that they truly matter and their worth helping. Another meaning can be to prevent fighting or using foul language with others or towards them that will show them how considerate you can really be and make them think is he or she a great person ? Also be considerate about yourself make sure to take pride in your education and give it your best and take pride of your parents and your family and friends. I will try to apply this to every day life by doing all of my responses above.

 

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." 

This key is very important in every ones life no matter who they are if they do not have this key it is most likely the will never succeed. What is commitment? you may ask the fact that you keep trying and trying and you do not allow yourself from giving up when it gets hard. Commitment can be used in a sports and your education not only that even if you run a business. What helps is that you show how truly committed you are to succeeding and become the best possible version of yourself and you do not allow one single failure to ever take you down you just keep going. I will apply this to my life by never giving up and always keep going. 

    

Key 10: Confidence

"You only get confidence by doing things over and over again ." 

This is truly my favorite key out of all the 10 keys because this key is what helps you put together all the other keys and makes hold like a permanent super glue bond. You may ask why is this one so important? Well the reason behind this because you need confidence in order to do the other keys if you had no confidence then how would you be brave enough to do it you would not be  able to show courage. I will apply this to my daily life by showing confidence when i apply all the other keys to my life. But what really is important is that you do not forget the confidence can always benefit you remember every skilled at something so always have the confidence.

  

This keys in my point of view are great because they introduce multiple useful keys that i can apply to my daily life. One of those keys are confidence which is my favorite key because is the one that makes you feel good about yourself or in what you do so that why confidence is my favorite one. Another favorite key of my was common sense because it teaches me to be smart during my decisions and to always make a correct choice or judgment that why this key is a very important one. The last and final key was consideration because this key always teaches you to humble to always think about others before your self so this are my favorite keys of all three. I will apply this to my life by always applying this 10 keys in the best and worst of situations. So do you agree these are the best keys out of all the 10?
