Class Evaluation

1. Some things I liked about this class was that our teacher Mr. Haymore was always in a great mood, and his class is always filled with great and positive energy.

2.  Something I did not like about this class was that we always had the same routine

3. Some recommendation for improving the class is that we should have a bit more of fun activities rather than sitting all period in the computer.

4. A highlight of this class is how every time when class was over our teacher Mr. Haymore will always dismiss us with a great and touching quote and he would always tell us "Remember to always "CTR".

5. I honestly did always try my best to finish my work not only that but I also alway tried my best to choose the right at all moments.

6. I do read my life planning book daily due to the fact that every time I read it, it simply inspires me to keep striving towards my many goals.

7. I am totally committed into being a CTR person because not only does it help me reach success but it also benefits me because I simply feel great about myself.

8. The main thing I learned from this class that I am willing to pass  on to others is that greatness and success comes from someone who chooses the right and always has a positive mind.

9. Something I will always remember about this class is our wonderful teacher dude to everything he has taught me and the good qualities I should have. I will also remember all his positive vibes simple flowing throughout the school.

The 10 Keys to Personal Power 

Brain Tracy 

briantracy.com

Key 1: Clarity 

Have vision. Determine what you want to be, or have in life. Have a sense of direction and know where you are going. If you do not have a clear specific goal in life, you are doomed forever to work for others who do.”

The first key by Brian Tracy is very powerful because you need to have clarity in order to successes in life. What I mean by that is that by wanting to accomplish a goal you must have to have a giddiness that helps you get to the goal. Like a good example can be the 100+ goals notebook. It is a good example because it helps you list the thing that you want to do and it just gives you motivation to start accomplishing one by one. It helps you set up the future little by little because you are the one setting up the goals that you desire to complete. The goals that you write down in the notebook are the ones you will do later on in life. Having clarify is like a structure all you have to do is built yourself into what you want to be when you get older and accomplish the goals. People that don’t have clarity are the ones that end up working for the ones that had clarity and that succeeded their dreams.
Key2: Competence
"If you commit to excellent, opportunities will always come your way. The harder you work, the better you get."

REFLECTION: what this key is trying to say is if you work hard enough on something you will become better at it. However, if you do not work hard enough on something then you will never become good at that. If you do not become at it then you will be choosing the right. So that you can choose the right you should work hard at something so you will become better at it and be choosing the right.

Key 3:Concentration

"Make the best use of your time. Ask yourself “Is this the best use of my time?” before you start anything."

Reflection: Concentration is the act of concentrating; the state of being concentrated. This means that we as people we really need to focus on the positive and also the worthiness of our positive choices to know we are concentrated" What does it take to be a champion? Desire, dedication, determination, concentration and the will to win.".

 Key 4: Common Sense
Train your mind
Think things through
listen to your intuition
learn from setbacks

Reflection: I think that this statement is trying to tell us that we have to have common sense in order so succeed in life. I believe that common sense is something truly important that one should always have. When one has common sense one is able to think through stuff before one does something. When one has common sense it shows how you are a person who listens to others thoroughly. When one has common sense one is able to understand and perceive things easily. People who do not have common sense actually do badly with most things they do. When someone does not have common sense one can already guess what kind of person he or she is. If they do not have common sense one can already believe that they are the kind of people who do not listen or even pay attention. In conclusion, when one has common sense many can rapidly tell they are good people who actually listen and pay attention. Common sense can show others rapidly how a person is, either he or she is smart or not.

Key 5: Creativity

"Except the fact that every human being is a genius.  The hallmark of creativity is asking questions.  The people who are most creative ask the most questions."

Creativity is the use of imagination or original ideas, especially in the production of an artistic work. Everyone has the ability to be creative or express themselves creatively. But not everyone chooses to improve their skills of learning how to use their imagination. Again not even needs to learn how to limit their imagination or learn how to use it but there is no limit to how far your imagination takes place because you are free to write freely. Creativity can come from motivation that you develop or that you had when you began to brainstormed.

Key 6: Consideration

“The quality of your relationships with other people will determine your success in life.”

“Develop the people skills you need to become a better communicator. Take courses in listening, speaking, etc.”

” If you were to learn one new word a day, within 5 years, you’ll be the best educated person in history.”

 Reflection:A basic meaning of the word consistency is conformity in the application of something, typically that which is necessary for the sake of logic, accuracy, or fairness. An example of being consistent is when you are consistent and refusing not to give up on the people or ideas you care about the most like family, friends, work, and even yourself.  Showed no special consideration to those who happened to be powerful or accomplished; neither did he slight others for their poverty or illiteracy. He would listen respectfully to words of truth from a child, and openly ignore a conceited pundit. 

Key 7: Consistency

“Dependable, steady predictable work is always superior to fast spurts of work.”
"Be consistent in your relationships, your family, friends, your boss, your work.  Be the person that people can depend upon.  That if you say you’ll do something you do it..”

Reflection: Being the person anyone can depend on is a great thing, especially if you are an important person in the field of work you specialize in or at home. But always being the important person can take a tole in your personal life, having so much responsibility at an advance or young age can be difficult, either for the stress , or the inexperience with such responsibility. Some advantages of being consistent are consistency allows for measurement consistency creates accountability.

Key 8: Commitment

“No success is possible without commitment. The ability to commit yourself whole heartily is the basis if achieving all success.”

“Become totally absorbed in your work. Be totally committed.”

REFLECTION:  What this key is trying to say is that success is not possible if you do not do your commitment. Without success you will get a career, and you will be choosing the wrong. Many people wonder of how to be successful, and they should know that is commitment will help them choose the right and get a career.

Key 9: Courage

“The fear of failure is the single greatest reason for failure in life.”

REFLECTION: What this key is saying is you need to be brave and be confident to succeed. If you don't have courage to be successful then you will more likely fail if you fear failure. If you fear failure then you will be choosing the wrong and never succeed. What many people don't know if they are not confident of succeeding it gives them a reason why they will fail in life. So what people should learn about this is always have courage in being successful so you can choose the right.

Key 10: Confidence

“You only get confidence by doing things over and over again.”

REFLECTION: What this key is saying is you only get confidence by doing something over and over again until you get it right. Also it shows how you can be choosing the right and will be confident when the time is ready. For example if you have to present a project and you are nervous, if you would choose the right you would practice your project. However, if you choose the wrong and slack off and dont practice you will get a low grade on the project.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Habits 1: Be Proactive

"Habits is the key to unlocking all the other habits and that's why it comes first. It says , "I am the captain of my life . I can choose my attitude . I'm responsible for my own happiness or unhappiness . I am in the driver's seat of my density , not just a passenger."



Posted by Mr. Haymore

Habit 1: Be Proactive is about taking responsibility for your life. You can't keep blaming everything on your parents or grandparents. Proactive people recognize that they are "response-able." They don't blame genetics, circumstances, conditions, or conditioning for their behavior. They know they choose their behavior. Reactive people, on the other hand, are often affected by their physical environment. They find external sources to blame for their behavior. If the weather is good, they feel good. If it isn't, it affects their attitude and performance, and they blame the weather. All of these external forces act as stimuli that we respond to. Between the stimulus and the response is your greatest power--you have the freedom to choose your response. One of the most important things you choose is what you say. Your language is a good indicator of how you see yourself. A proactive person uses proactive language--I can, I will, I prefer, etc. A reactive person uses reactive language--I can't, I have to, if only. Reactive people believe they are not responsible for what they say and do--they have no choice.

Habit 2: Begin with the end in mind 
"Control your own destiny or someone else will."(Jack Welch) "When you know where you intended to end up , you know where you are now."

Habit 2 is based on imagination--the ability to envision in your mind what you cannot at present see with your eyes. It is based on the principle that all things are created twice. There is a mental (first) creation, and a physical (second) creation. The physical creation follows the mental, just as a building follows a blueprint. If you don't make a conscious effort to visualize who you are and what you want in life, then you empower other people and circumstances to shape you and your life by default. It's about connecting again with your own uniqueness and then defining the personal, moral, and ethical guidelines within which you can most happily express and fulfill yourself. Begin with the End in Mind means to begin each day, task, or project with a clear vision of your desired direction and destination, and then continue by flexing your proactive muscles to make things happen.
Habit 3: Put First Thing First 
"Organize and execute around priorities."

Habit 3 is about life management as well–your purpose, values, roles, and priorities. What are “first things?” First things are those things you, personally, find of most worth. If you put first things first, you are organizing and managing time and events according to the personal priorities you established in Habit 2.”The instructors were saying “Look at all those things that matter in your life – or that part of your life that is your work. Major projects. That potentially paradigm-shifting research on earthquake prediction. The restoration of 30 square miles of underwater habitat. The buyout and tear down of floodplain housing in your city and the establishment of a riverfront park. Writing that book. Learning that second language…
Habit 4:Think Win-Win Think Win-Win isn't about being nice, nor is it a quick-fix technique. It is a character-based code for human interaction and collaboration.

Most of us learn to base our self-worth on comparisons and competition. We think about succeeding in terms of someone else failing--that is, if I win, you lose; or if you win, I lose. Life becomes a zero-sum game. There is only so much pie to go around, and if you get a big piece, there is less for me; it's not fair, and I'm going to make sure you don't get anymore. We all play the game, but how much fun is it really?

Win-win sees life as a cooperative arena, not a competitive one. Win-win is a frame of mind and heart that constantly seeks mutual benefit in all human interactions. Win-win means agreements or solutions are mutually beneficial and satisfying. We both get to eat the pie, and it tastes pretty darn good! 
Habit 5:Seek First to Understand, then to be understood 
"Diagnose before you prescribe"

If you're like most people, you probably seek first to be understood; you want to get your point across. And in doing so, you may ignore the other person completely, pretend that you're listening, selectively hear only certain parts of the conversation or attentively focus on only the words being said, but miss the meaning entirely. So why does this happen? Because most people listen with the intent to reply, not to understand. You listen to yourself as you prepare in your mind what you are going to say, the questions you are going to ask, etc. You filter everything you hear through your life experiences, your frame of reference. You check what you hear against your autobiography and see how it measures up. And consequently, you decide prematurely what the other person means before he/she finishes communicating. Do any of the following sound familiar?

"Oh, I know just how you feel. I felt the same way." "I had that same thing happen to me." "Let me tell you what I did in a similar situation."

Habit 6: Synergize
"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts 

To put it simply, synergy means "two heads are better than one." Synergize is the habit of creative cooperation. It is teamwork, open-mindedness, and the adventure of finding new solutions to old problems. But it doesn't just happen on its own. It's a process, and through that process, people bring all their personal experience and expertise to the table. Together, they can produce far better results that they could individually. Synergy lets us discover jointly things we are much less likely to discover by ourselves. It is the idea that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. One plus one equals three, or six, or sixty--you name it.

When people begin to interact together genuinely, and they're open to each other's influence, they begin to gain new insight. The capability of inventing new approaches is increased exponentially because of differences. 



Habit 7: Sharpen the saw 

The four Dimension of self-Renewal:Physical, Mental, Spiritual , social/emotional 

As you renew yourself in each of the four areas, you create growth and change in your life. Sharpen the Saw keeps you fresh so you can continue to practice the other six habits. You increase your capacity to produce and handle the challenges around you. Without this renewal, the body becomes weak, the mind mechanical, the emotions raw, the spirit insensitive, and the person selfish. Not a pretty picture, is it?

Feeling good doesn't just happen. Living a life in balance means taking the necessary time to renew yourself. It's all up to you. You can renew yourself through relaxation. Or you can totally burn yourself out by overdoing everything. You can pamper yourself mentally and spiritually. Or you can go through life oblivious to your well-being. You can experience vibrant energy. Or you can procrastinate and miss out on the benefits of good health and exercise. You can revitalize yourself and face a new day in peace and harmony. Or you can wake up in the morning full of apathy because your get-up-and-go has got-up-and-gone. Just remember that every day provides a new opportunity for renewal--a new opportunity to recharge yourself 

Reflection:Learning just 7 habits to become more effective seemed like just the quick fix I was looking for back then. I figured I could learn a few more habits, after all the habits I was trying to break I don’t remember trying to learn in the first place.  When I completed reading his book, I recall feeling a new found sense of order in how to approach life and work.

I have followed Stephen Covey work over the years and have implemented his teaching in how I approach leading an organization and the consulting services we provide to universities evaluating their campus housing programs. I decided after reading of Stephen Covey death I would read his book again and see if there was something I missed the first time or if age and experience allowed a different lesson to come through.

How to Win friends and influence People 

Six Ways to Make people Like you . If you want people to like you ........

1. Become genuinely interested in others

As always – we start with the WHY?! The reason we ask this question is quite simple – what is the purpose of becoming genuinely interested in other people? Is it know them as a friend, is it to know more about life itself? Is it to understand different people and connect to them? Is it to ask that person out on a date? Or are you trying to know more about people cos you really like knowing?
Try and answer this why cos it gives us a better clarity to approach the situation. 
2.Smile 
1. "Action speaker louder than words, and smile says, "I like you. You make me happy. I am glad to see you"
2. "You don't feel like smiling ? Then force yourself to smile."
3."It creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in a business, and is the countersign (witness or indication )of friends 
This second way to make people like you is very special gesture that should be use on a every day use.Nobody needs a smile so much as the one who has none to give. So get used to smiling heart-warming smiles, and you will spread sunshine in a sometimes dreary world. 

Rule 3: Remember names
1) "A man's name is to him the sweetest and most important sound in any language ."
1) "If you don't remember names , you are headed for trouble."
These are some ways you can try to remember a person name Repeat, Repeat, Repeat. The most surefire strategy is to repeat the person’s name–both in your head, and out loud–as soon as possible after you’ve been introduced. Occasionally use the person’s name in conversation. “Pleasure to meet you, Bob,” or “Bob, so good to see you.” Don’t overdo it, of course, but don’t worry that Bob will recoil, either. He’d rather you remember his name than not.

Find The Trigger. Try to associate names with things people tell you about themselves (careers, hobbies) that will trigger the sound or association of the name in your mind. Fred likes to fish, Margarita runs a bar–you get the idea. “You have to search in the moment for something familiar,” says Spiegel. “It’s a simple trick, but it just sticks.”

 

Rule4: Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.

1)"If you aspire to be a good conversationalist, be an attentive listener."

2)"Remember that the man you are talking to is a hundred times more interested in himself and his wants and his problems than he is in you and your problems."

Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves means to pay attention to others conversations. When you talk to someone you want them to pay attention to you so you should do the same. You wouldn't want to talk to someone and it looks like your talking to a wall because they are not listening. It is disrespectful when you are somewhere else when someone is talking to you. If you don’t pay attention that person will lose interest because they will think they are wasting their time since you are not listening. For example if you are talking to your friend but also texting. You should put your phone away and turn it off if you want so you can pay full attention and not ask later to repeat it.

Rule 5: Talk in terms of the other man;s interest 

"The royal road to a man's heart is to talk to him about the things he treasures most."

What this means is that when you talk to someone you should talk to them about what they want to achieve in life. Such as what their plans are for their future, what their goals are in life, what or who they care about the most, and who knows you'll probably find some things in common. Once you figure out or they tell you what they care the most about you should feel sensitive to their response because sometimes it's not easy for a man to tell you their deepest secrets such as what or who they care about the most. Trying to make a connection with someone at first may seem a bit difficult cause they're not responding or because it just gets awkward. It gets easier the more you try to talk to someone though. This makes men sometimes vulnerable because they just told you something thats very important to them and like i said some find it hard to talk about themselves or their families. I guess in a way it makes them soft because they don't have to act all that anymore since you got to know them personally. 

Rule 6: Make the other person feel important--and do it sincerely.

"The desire to be important is the deepest urge in human nature." (John Dewey)"Helping people feel important and appreciated works magic.

Don’t you enjoy it when people treat you like you’re important? It can be humbling at times but I know I enjoy it and I bet you do too. If we enjoy it then why not spread the joy and allow others to feel the same way? Here are a few simple things anyone can do to convey a sense of importance to another person:

Show respect – Respect comes easily through good manners with phrases like, “Yes please,” “No thank you,” “Excuse me” and “Please forgive me.” These are simple and none assumes anything from the other person.

Use their name – As I shared in the article a rose by any other name , the sweetest sound to any person is the sound of their own name. People feel important when identified by name because it humanizes them.

Golden Rule – Treat people the way you’d like to be treated or the way you’d like someone to treat a loved one. This kind of behavior tends to come back to you. Earl Hickey calls it karma.

Fine Reputation – We will explore Carnegie’s advice to give the other person a fine reputation to live up to later in this series. For now know this; conveying belief in another person can help them achieve more than they thought possible and make them feel more important than ever before. Give that gift.

We make requests of people every single day because we need other people. Recognizing that fact, this blog is intended to help you learn to hear “Yes!” The more friends you make, the easier it is to influence people and hear “Yes!” But it’s not just about getting what you want. It’s about building relationships and enjoying our lives more because of those relationships. Make another person feel important today and that’s one step in the right direction them and for you.

UCLA 

1.University of California, Los Angeles

2.UCLA Requirements for Admission

What are UCLA's admission requirements? While there are a lot of pieces that go into a college application, you should focus on only a few critical things:

GPA requirements

Testing requirements, including SAT and ACT requirements

Application requirements

In this guide we'll cover what you need to get into UCLA and build a strong application.

School location: Los Angeles, CA

This school is also known as: UCLA, UC Los Angeles, University of California, Los Angeles

Admissions Rate: 20%

If you want to get in, the first thing to look at is the acceptance rate. This tells you how competitive the school is and how serious their requirements are.

The acceptance rate at UCLA is 20%. For every 100 applicants, 20 are admitted.

This means the school is very selective. If you meet UCLA's requirements for GPA, SAT/ACT scores, and other components of the application, you have a great shot at getting in. But if you fall short on GPA or your SAT/ACT scores, you'll have a very low chance of being admitted, even if you meet the other admissions requirements.

UCLA GPA Requirements

Many schools specify a minimum GPA requirement, but this is often just the bare minimum to submit an application without immediately getting rejected.

The GPA requirement that really matters is the GPA you need for a real chance of getting in. For this, we look at the school's average GPA for its current students.

Average GPA: 4.29

The average GPA at UCLA is 4.29.
