The Six Attitudes of High Achievers


John R. Noe



1. Make no small plans

    I think make no small plans is a good attitude when it comes to achieving something. I think that what it means is set yourself up for something high or important. Don't aim for a small goal always aim higher. Push your self keep improving. For example lets say you were doing bad in school and then you set your self a goal to get straight B's and then later on you do. Don't stop there aim higher push yourself to the limit and then passing it aim for straight A's. The only way you are going to improve is if you keep pushing yourself keep trying harder and then even harder the next day. Aim for a high goal and once you achieve aim higher and set more goals. Set yourself for something big not small. Don't give up trying harder each time push yourself to achieve that high important goal.

   An example would be like in exercising. Lets say you want to do one hand push ups well first you have to do lots of push ups workout each day to get stronger and once you've achieved it then set
your self to do hand stand push up

"  Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will not die, but long after we are gone be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistence."

2. Do what they fear

3. Are willing to prepare

4. Are willing to risk failure

    High Achievers are willing to risk failure. They are willing to try and try and never give up either. The important part isn't that they failed the important part is they got back up and tried harder and harder. They push them selves to the limit and after the next day they surpass their limit and aim higher. They don't give up after a loss they keep trying and train until they win or achieve their goals. They set their selves for failure and eventually they'll be able to accomplish it
. They keep trying and that's what makes them achievers. If you loose learn from it don't take it as a loss take as a lesson and better next time. Learn from your mistakes. Keep trying and push yourself everyday to be better.

   An example would be like in the gym and you're lifting you set your self for failure like max and then put even more until you cant go on and the next day you do the same until it doesn't become as hard and you keep on improving and adding more weight and get stronger.

" He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life."

5. Are teachable

    High Achievers are TEACHABLE. This can mean many different things. It mainly means high achievers are always willing to learn from others, from the past, etc. They learn and keep on improving. They receive feedback from others to work on their mistakes. They try to always improve and fix their mistakes. They may not become perfect but they can try to be the best and push themselves each day. We all make mistakes but those who accept them and learn from them will improve. High achievers are teachable will improve from they have learned.

" I take inspiration from everyone and everything. I'm inspired by current champions, former champions, true competitors, people dedicated to their dream, hard workers, dreamers, believers, achievers. "

    An example would be like in school. When you turn in an essay and you have mistakes and the teacher corrects you and then you end up fixing the mistakes and do it better and get a good grade.

6. Have heart

    High achievers have heart. In my opinion i think that when they say high achievers have heart they mean they are caring people. Have heart means like be nice, happy, fun caring. If you have a heart that means your caring. Things people that have heart do are being helpful, kind, respectful. To have heart can also be like dedication. You can have dedication towards a sport or school. To have a heart you take in consideration of others feelings. Have a heart and care about others, yourself, and the things you love to do. Always have heart and do the right thing.

" Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you
find it."
- Steve Jobs

 You can apply this attitude with your friends at school or at home with family be caring and helpful, have heart.


Reflection

    The six attitudes of high achievers are really inspiring and make you think a lot about yourself and the future. These attitudes are really motivational and makes you reflect a lot on your actions. Make no small plans is really good attitude that really tell you to set high goals and always do better. Another attitude I really liked is do what you fear because it's telling you to face your fears and overcome it. I also liked the one that high achievers are willing to risk failure this means they'll give at all the got do or die. Also that they'll keep on trying after a fail and push themselves. Each one of these attitudes are really good. You can learn a lot from these and it'll help you become a better person.

accountability


Accountability


    I think the attribute accountability means to be responsible towards something and to try to do it at the best of your ability.


“As for the journey of life; at some point you will realize that YOU are the driver and you will drive!”
By: Steve Maraboli

   I think this quote means at some point you will get older and will have more responsibilites or more things to be accounted for. 
   
For example like when you get married and have a family for are accounted for to go to work to be able to pay bills put food on the table and take care of your family but when you're a kid you're not responsible for that your parents are.

assertiveness


Assertiveness

    I think assertiveness means to be demanding and confident without being to aggressive.


"Staying silent is like a slow growing cancer to the soul and a trait of a true coward. There is nothing intelligent about not standing up for yourself. You may not win every battle. However, everyone will at least know what you stood for—YOU."
By: Shannon L. Alder

Reflection: i think this quote is saying to be more confident and stand up for yourself and your opinions. And if people ever prove you wrong at least you stood up for yourself. For example in an argument or debate.  

personal development quote


Personal Development Quote

"A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder"
-Thomas Carlyle

    I think this quote means that a man without a goal is a man in which doesn't or function right. like for example that story with this huge ship was used in war and was the strongest. of them all. No body was able to take it down no matter what they did  it just seemed  impossible. Then one day somebody shot a missal to the rudder and the ship went out of control. It spun in circles and blew up. It did it because the rudder is what controls the ship. So in other words a man without a goal doesn't function because he doesn't know what hes aiming for. He doesn't know what he wants to accomplish so how can he do anything without knowing what he wants to do or accomplish. just like the ship couldn't work without  the rudder.

This quote relates to my 100+ Life Planning goals because it has to do with knowing your goal and you cant anything without having a goal.

attitude


Attitude

    A settled way of thinking or feeling about someone or something, typically one that is reflected in a persons behavior. I think it means the way you behave or perform.


“Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you.”
-Walt Whitman

I think this quote means that if you have a positive attitude and keep on doing good and keep on moving forward no matter what that all the bad things wont bother you or impact you as much. The bad things won't have that much of an impact because they'll be behind or in the past and forgotten. That's why you should keep moving forward because eventually your problems would be in the past/ behind you like your shadow.

boldness


Boldness

    Boldness means not hesitating or fearful in the face of actual or possible danger or rebuff; courageous and daring: a bold hero. not hesitating to break the rules of propriety. Thinking outside the box with assertiveness 

“You’ll learn, as you get older, that rules are made to be broken. Be bold enough to live life on your terms, and never, ever apologize for it. Go against the grain, refuse to conform, take the road less traveled instead of the well-beaten path. Laugh in the face of adversity, and leap before you look. Dance as though EVERYBODY is watching. March to the beat of your own drummer. And stubbornly refuse to fit in.
-Mandy Hale

   I like this quote because it is telling you to be courageous and demanding. Stand up for what you believe is right and do whats right.
