"the six attitudes of high achievers" john noe
1. make no small plans
"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."
Daniel Burnham

plan ahead of time and set goals. making plans that are long term to keep you in the right path. the picture says chapter one because the book has more than one chapter and in life there is more than one moment. it continues on and on. so your goals should never end. people never thought a man would be in the moon but now were trying to land on mars. to apply this new attitude to me i will read my life planning boook everyday for 5 minutes and add to it.
2. do what they fear
"The key to change... is to let go of fear."
--Roseanne Cash

conquering your fears is the best way to live life. you cant stop yourself because you're afraid of something. someone once said "fears stop more people from accomplishment than failure its self". meaning if you fail nothing can happen but get back up and try again. accomplishing your fear also grants you a feeling of success and overwhelming gratefullness for yourself. you will feel so much better after you face it. in order for me to face my own fears i will challenge myself everyday to do something i would never regularly do.
3.Are willing to prepare

  I think the reason people win or achieve there goal is because they prepare and knows what to do and what's coming. A a person really wants to win they know that they have to get knowledge on it and practice on whatever they're trying to win or accomplish. If you don't have knowledge on it how are u win. Its obvious to know if the person will win because they're confident and seem like they won already.

4. Are willing to risk failure

Some people don't like the idea of failing but failing doesn't mean that you're not good enough it means that you made a mistake that can be fixed. Failing is a way people learn and grow as a better person. People should not get mad or sad if they fail because it just life and we should learn from it and move move on. Does not mean that you will fail all the time,sometimes you will strive and achieve your dream.



5. are teachable
“What I believe is that all clear-minded people should remain two things throughout their lifetimes: Curious and teachable.”
― Roger Ebert

what the quote means about curios is that you always have questions to be answered and desire to answer them. when you have desire to learn something you look for resources and search for answers. you're willing to be guided by someone. when you're teachable it means you're open to new ideas. being teachable is a good quality because you're open to not always being right and can take criticism in a right way. you move up and improve.
6. have a heart

"Let my soul smile through my heart and my heart smile through my eyes, that I may scatter rich smiles in sad hearts."

a person has a heart meaning they are kind. this quote means that she hopes to be happy and that her happiness can scatter more happiness. she call smiles rich because they are the most valuable things in life. everyone should be kind and give back when they are in a higher level. they should always remember their beginnings. people that have a heart are very kind and remember about others. they help those that need help even when they dont ask for it. this is an important quality to have. i want to have this quality so therefor i want to become less vain.
overall reflection
the 6 attitudes of a high achiever shouldnt just be for "high achievers" all students should have this attitude about learning and life in general. there is never an end to education you will always be learning subconciously or conciously, whether it be a new job or raising a kid. we should always be open minded, teachable, kind, and out going.
