How to be a Real Success

Relationship Rule number #2-Put energy into being likable:

Relationship rule number #2 is all about taking the time to make yourself more likeable to others. If people like you, they are much more likely to want to work with you. This skill is really about being able to form good relationships with the people around you. Being someone who is kind and friendly can help you make better connections with the people you work with. Having connections in your life is very important to being a successful person. I chose this principle because it is something that you can always improve on. You can always be taking steps to make yourself more likable to the people around you. Since it is the start of the year and I am meeting so many new people I think it is super important for me to be a likable person. I will be working with a lot of the new people I met this year, so I want to make them like working with me. This skill would be especially important for me during our leadership 10 class because we are always working in groups. During the planning of events, we must work closely to get every aspect of a trip done and I would want to feel like the people I am planning with are enjoying working with me. I think being a patient, organized and kind person will help me be more likable to the people I work with within our leadership class.

The Law of significance- One is too small a number to achieve greatness:

The Law of significance is about how important working together is. You cannot achieve anything without contributions from other people. This law is about remembering that it will always be way easier the more people can help. The law of significance can be applied to lots of different parts of your life. Whether it be working on a project at school, making a meal with your family or even doing things by yourself takes a whole team because of the materials you use and the place where you do it. I think this rule will help me at school and even at home because sometimes I try to do things by myself and end up failing terribly because it was just too much for one person. One way I want to apply this Law is by relying more on the class we have at school. Fellow peers are helpful when in the past I have had questions and I want to try going to them more when I get stuck. I also want to be someone that people feel they can come to for help if they get stuck because that is how a team works. I think this law is especially important during our trips because we must do extra teamwork to keep on schedule and communicate messages in a big group. I also want to make sure I am going to teachers for help when it comes to hard questions because they are a very important addition to our team at school.

Our attitude can turn our problems into blessings:

This principle was part of the ‘What I Have Learned About Our Attitude’ section and was one of three important principles. This one is about taking the problems that get thrown at you and instead of giving up, you grow from them or even create something even better. Solving problems is all about your attitude towards what you are working on. It’s so important to have grit so you can preserver through obstacles that you are bound to come across. When you are working towards a goal there will always be problems and a good leader isn’t someone who runs into fewer problems it is someone who is able to overcome them with a good attitude. I chose this one out of the three because I thought it was the one, I could improve on the most. Sometimes when I run into problems it will cause me to lose the momentum I have will working on tasks. This is something I would like to get good at this year because of how different things are going to be. For the TALONS program, we plan a lot of events, but our events will have to be changed to fit pandemic protocols. I think it is important for me to keep a positive attitude so that I can help us create ways to still have fun while being safe. One way I can keep a good attitude is to not dwell on the stuff we cannot do this year and think about all the interesting things we have done and are planning on doing.

The Law of Process- Leaders develop daily, not in a day:

The Law of the Process is about not expecting a sudden complete change but small changes that happen frequently. This law really focuses on working on making big changes over time not suddenly. It is not realistic to think that things can change overnight. You must take the time to work on your habits to make them better. Talking to people about what you are working towards or taking small actions to help you get there can help you reach your goal over time. I think this law will be good for me to focus on this year as work towards improving my work habits. The workloads this year is a lot more than it has been for me in the past, so I haven’t developed proper work habits yet. I know that I can’t suddenly get good at time management, but I want to work towards that as a goal. Some of the small actions I want to try to help myself towards my goal is to start keeping and organized agenda system and asking my parents for support while I am starting out. This law will especially help me during leadership because a lot of the work is more dependent now that we usually only meet once a week. It will be important for me to get better at using the time we aren’t in class in a productive way.
