Key 1: Clarity  

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

Reflection: Clarity helps you visualize what you really want on life and what you should do to reach you're goals.

Key 2: Competence 

"If you commit to excellence, opportunities will always come your way. The harder you work, the better you get. 

Reflection: The harder you get the better you get is one the most important keys. So far because it is the reason you are succeeding since you are working forward to getting what you want. 

                                           

 

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:I do not know if I am not using my time right or wrong so i cant answer that. But if i could i would most likely say no since i'm in computer science and if i wasn't wasting my time i would be taking classes i actually need.

 

Key 4: 

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."

Reflection: Creativity is one of the main focuses to personal power because it helps you become more of a brave and encouraging person. 

                                                               

 

Key 5: 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 will be the best educated person in the world." 

                                          

 

Key 6: Consideration 

Key 7: Consistency

"Dependable, steady, predictable work is always superior to fast spurts of work" 

                                                                 

  

Key 8: Commitment  

"No success is possible without commitment. The ability to commit yourself whole heartily is the basis of achieving all success. 

"Become totally absorbed in your work. Be totally committed ."

Reflection: Being committed means you are willing to put the fun things aside and work hard to become a better person.

Key 9:Courage 
"The fear of failure is the single greatest reason for failure in life."
Reflection: Fear is a big reason you fail in life but this is why you must have courage in taking risks that have a chance of helping you. Courage crushes all your fears into succeeding at gaining your personal power.

 

Key 9:Confidence  

"You only get confidence by doing things over and over again." 

Reflection: Having confidence is a valuable key to having personal power. A way of gaining confidence is by doing something repeatedly or practice it. For example when your in a speech class and you must go up in front of the class everyday to talk for 5 mins. you will eventually get used to it and get more confidence every time you go up to speak. 

 

 Reflection: 

All these keys will lead you to personal power and will help improve your life. I believe these 10 keys can help better yourself in many ways not only because you gain personal power but because you will gain small things that will change your every day life to a better one. The way for me to implement this to my daily life and plans is by sharing it with other who may need help or share these keys with friends and family.
