The Six Attitudes of High Achievers

High Achievers...

1.Make no small plans: Plan BIG

Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will never die, but long after we are gone will be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistency. When coming up with a idea, it is important to not think small but big. Big is always better. Just like the quote says, "You Think Big, You Get Big". This quote is very true because if you have a big plan, you expect the end product to be big. Never in your life think small. You should always think big.

2.Do what they fear

“You don’t conquer fear with clichés, but with action.”  Personally, I love this.  When I was stationary in one classroom, I always had the Latin phrase, acte non verbe on my wall; it quickly became class motto.  Noe states, “That fear is fraud and that only 8% of our fears are legitimate.” This means that you should have the courage to do what other people are scared of. You must be strong and confident to do what other people are scared of. They are probably scared of failing but you must fail to succeed.

3. Willing to prepare

Be willing to prepare because most likely the out come will be better if you prepared yourself for something. For example if I prepare myself for a quiz most likely I will get a higher grade if I did not study. Remember practice makes perfect so try to prepare as much as you can. Kobe Bryant probably practiced and prepared for hours just for a game so if he can do why cant you? The more time you set aside for something the most likely it'll give you a bigger reward. You just have to work hard and give it your best and eventually it'll pay off.

4.Willing to risk failure
You have to able to risk something and fail because if you never tried you won't be able to succeed either. Failure comes along the way with succeeding because you have to practice in order to get something. For example Kobe Bryant didn't become a living legend by not taking shots he shot and sometimes he missed, but with more and more practice he was able to sink those shots in. Nobody is perfect so you're going to have those days where your game is going to be down and all you can do is accept the fact and come back even stronger.  Failure will forever be part of everything no one who has become successful did it the easy way they went through trial and error. Don't be mistaken and think everything you will handed to you, you have to work hard and earn it. "Do one thing every day that scares you."

-  Eleanor Roosevelt 

5.Are teachable
You have to be able to learn from other or on your own because if you don't you'll forever be ignorant and dumb. You have to be able to be open minded for anything even if it might be against what you believe. You have to be able to accept things that are facts because if you don't its just pure ignorance. Try to learn from those who are wise and have had experiences so maybe you don't make the same mistakes as them. Some lessons in life can save you a lot of time and can prevent you from running into problems it can be a big leap ahead of everyone.  If anyone is teaching you a lesson don't take it for granted because you never know when it might come in handy.
