10 SEEDS OF GREATNESS

Denis Waitley

1. The Seed of Self-Esteem (Appreciate the value of yourself.) 

   "From self-love to self-worth"

Self esteem means to appreciate yourself. Dont take anybody else's comments toward you. You should always have a high self esteem. Dont let people bring it down. Believe in yourself. You should never doubt yourself. Everything is possible if you try it. You will never know how it feels without trying it. 

  

2. The seed of Creativity
  "Releasing your creative energy."

Creativity means to create what is in your mind. Many creativity is very unique. It can really make you a different person also. Everyone has different creativity but we all have to have some type of creativity. For example at my job we all have different creativity when we are taking apart things that are messed up. We can all take it of stripped parts different ways but they come off. We dont all have the same creativity. Same with other people in other jobs.



3. The seed of Responsibility
  "Whatever we sow, we reap."

Responsibility means to do a duty on time. This is really important in life because it will determine if you will succeed or not. You need to be responsible all the time. For example in work or in school. If you are not responsible in school and you never show up or if you always forget your homework. You will get dropped from the class, or most likely fail the class. In work you will get fired if you are not responsible. If you dont have education or work then how are you going to succeed in life.



4. The seed of wisdom
"A large vocabulary--which implies broad,general knowledge--characterizes the more successful persons,regardless of their occupations."

Wisdom means to have experience, good judgment and to be wise. Having wisdom is like a step to be successful. You need to have wisdom in order to be successful. You need to have experience where ever you go. You wont really go anywhere without any type of experience. Having wisdom will make you very successful.  

 

5. The seed of purpose
"The gold mine in your goals."

Purpose means why you do the things. Purpose is the gold in your goals. For example school can be a purpose.


6.The seed of communication
"Reach out and touch someone"

Communication means connection with other people. You need communication everywhere you go in life. For example school, parents, jobs, and it can even be with your community. Communication is very important. For example if you work you need to have communication with your boss or with your manager so they know what is going on. Just in case you cant make it to work on time or when you call in sick. Another example can be in school. You need to communicate with your teachers for your grades. Just so you know where you stand and also so you know what you are missing.  



7.Faith
"The power of positive believing."

Faith means to believe in something. It is really important to have faith in yourself and in your future. You have to have goals and in order to accomplish them you need to have faith in yourself in completing them. For example if you want a big house in the future, you have to have faith in yourself so you can make it happen. Another example can be your car. If you have always wanted an expensive car but think you cant afford it. Have faith in yourself so that can come true and many more.



8. Adaptability
"Turning Problems into opportunities."

9. Perseverance
"The will to win is everything."

10.Perspective
"Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love,grace,and gratitude."

Perspective means your attitude towards something. You should have a good perspective towards everything you do. It will be a good thing because it will help you in your future. It will make you live.

My spring break was a blast. I went out with some friends on Friday night and we got to hang out and got home like at 1 in the morning. Then Saturday I raced bikes at the stub hub center at the velodrome. I got a solid 8th place. Then Monday and Tuesday I worked. On Wednesday I had training with my junior development team. Thursday I had training with my other team which I race for the street. I trained so hard Wednesday and Thursday for a race on Sunday which was yesterday. Yesterday I raced and didn't go as planned. I wanted one of my friends to lead me out in the last lap but he had gassed out so I had to work by myself. Coming in the last turn I sprinted behind my teammate and when i was going to pass him he swerved causing me to almost fall so I lost speed but was able to catch him up but he won me by an inch at the finish line. It was a fun race even though I got second and thankful I didn't fall in the first 5 minutes of the races causing a few of my teammates to pull out of the race. It was also a good spring break since i made lots of money from the race, and working.

Honesty

The girl from the video was first cheating in the test they were taking. She was caught by one of her classmates and that made her realizes many things. One thing she realized was that you can not depend on others peoples effort all the time. They will not always be besides you and sometimes you will be on your own. After she learned her lesson on not cheating. The next test they took she was on her own and she didn't cheat from her classmates. She thanked her classmate after fro teaching her how to be honest.
