The six attitudes of high achievers

"The Six Attitudes of High Achievers"

High Achievers.....

1. make no small plans



2. Do what they fear 

Zayn Malik did what he feared the most. He was terrified to leave One Direction, the famous pop boyband of the century. Zayn didn't feel happy with the band anymore. He was going through tough times, eventually feeling and looking depressed. He just wasn't happy anymore. He was scared to leave the band because of the fans. He was scared to leave them because they have been by the bands side for 5 years, but he wanted to leave the band. He had to and he couldn't continue pretending to be happy, so he left. March 25, 2015 was the day that it was announce that Zayn Malik left One Direction. Of course people cried and begged him to come back but he just couldn't do that because it wasn't something that he wanted to do anymore. He feared leaving and now that time has passed, he must realize that hes happier now. He went as a solo artist and has now been signed to RCA Record label. He is happier now because he gets to write his own style of music now. Zayn has taught me that i should just go for whatever i want to do, and that i should care what other people will think or say about me.

3. Are willing to prepare

Some people are willing to prepare for the future and whats to come for them. When they prepare, they make sure that they do Great in school and that they make sure they have everything right for the future. Other people prepare by saving money and making sure that they have everything that they need for what they want. You should always be prepared because you don't know if something might go wrong and then everything that you work for can fail.
4. Are Willing to Risk Failure

I think that if you are willing to risk failure and everything that you have, you will achieve greatness. sometimes you have to take some risks in life and if you don't, then you can be missing out on the important things. Some people risk everything that they have and now they are CEO's of their own companies. People also risk their own health to get where they are today. You just have to take risks in life.



6. Have Heart 
People that have a heart are more likely to achieve greatness. If you are nice and you give to people, karma will come back to you and award you with nice things. For example, if you are mean to your employees and you don't treat them with respect, they can quit or maybe report you. If you are nice, they would respect you equally and they would want to continue working for you. People respect others if they get respect back. I also think that having a heart and being a good person is important because people trust you more.

9 ways

Way to Be

9 ways to be Happy and Make Something of your life


Gordon B. Hinckley 

1. 
Be Grateful 
Being grateful is a very important thing to have. When you are grateful, that means that you appreciate the things that you have. For example, during thanksgiving, we give thanks for the things that we have. Its imortant to be grateful for the things that you have because some people don't have anything.

2.
Be Smart
Being smart is very important in life. Not just smart as in School wise but smart as in Street smart or other things. I think that being street smart is important because you have to know certain things when you are out on the street, especially if you are by yourself. Being smart helps you know things about life and it prepares you for the future. 

3. 
Be Involved in Good Works
Being involved in Good Works is very important because you help people with certain things. You can be involved with groups that help the elderly or that go to hospitals and help people or children that are sick. If you choose being with people that are in gang or smoke weed, then that isnt being good. You should always choose to choose the right. To do good and help others who need it. Instead of just sitting around and doing wrong things, you should use that time to help others. 

4.
Be Clean 
When it comes to hygiene, being clean is very important. You wouldnt want to go to work or school smelling bad and having people run away from you. You should also clean your house because you wouldnt want it to look bad infront of friends and family. To me, being clean also means that you should be clean when it comes to drugs and alcohol and not doing those things.

5. 
Be True 
You should always be true to yourself and to others. Being true means that you should be truthful to people. Being truthful is like telling your friends the truth. For example, if you saw someone steal something and the police asked you if you saw, you should say that you saw who did it. Being true to yourself is also important because it means that you are honest and arent a liar. 
6. 
Be Positive
Being Positive is very important because you have to have a positive attitude. Its not very cool to always be negative and always be the person that is in a bad mood all the time. If you are positive, that means that you are happy and people around you will feel that kind of way. Positive vibes rub off of you and they just spread around and can make others happy. Even if you are in a bad mood, you should try to be happy and think on the positive side of things. 

7. 
Be Humble 
Being humble is important because you aren't an arrogant person and you arent focused on having so much pride in yourself. It is also good to be humble because it shows that you are a generous person and that you are a nice person.

8. 
Be Still




9. Be Prayerful

PDA

Commitment
Quote:

Reflection: i think that is is a very nice quote. If you commit to your goals then you will surely reach your goals. I feel like commitment is a very big part of reaching your goals because you are dedicated to reach them and it means that you wont stop until all of your goals have been made. Commitment is dedicating yourself to something, and your mind is always set on that.

" The key to freedom is obedience. The more obedient we are, the more freedom we have." 

Reflection: I agree with this quote 100%. I feel like if you have obedience, you get rewarded with things. For example, when you listen to your parents, they can let you go out with friends or to events from school. They can also with you things, like money or maybe even a new phone. I think that it is important to have obedience because you learn to have patience and you learn other things.

911


September 11, 2001
On September 11, 2001, one of America’s biggest tragedies happened. That day we had four coordinated terrorist attacks launched by the Islamic group al-Qaeda. The attacks killed around 3,000 people and caused millions of dollars’ worth of damage. The two planes that had flown into the North and South towers were, American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175. Later, a third plane, American Airlines Flight 77 was crashed into the Pentagon. The fourth plane was targeted at Washington D.C but crashed into a field in Pennsylvania.
          Many people were shocked because of this. Many people woke up that day preparing to go to work and simply have a good day. They thought that they would go home later on that day and spend quality time with their families. Never would they have imagined that they would die that day due to a terrorist attack. Many kids, teenagers, wives/husbands thought that their loved one would be home that night when they never returned. I can’t imagine how that felt; Knowing that your loved one wouldn't be back. I find it sad and disgusting that the people who did this had the heart to kill thousands of people. Me being the terrorist, I wouldn't want to do that because I would lose my life.

           I don’t understand why we still celebrate this day as if it were something good. If I were a victim I wouldn't want to be reminded about this day. I feel like we should forget about it because even if it was a tragic, we shouldn't be reminded about it. Many people just wish that they could forget about that day and every year we “ show respect” when in reality we are just reminding the people who lost a loved one what had happened and many people don’t want to see how their loved one suffered.
