persuation

How often do you use persuasion? I use persuasion probably everyday. And I'm certainly not the only one. Persuasion is a very good skill to learn, you never know when you will use it. I happen to be very good at persuasion. I can pretty much get anybody to believe or do anything.

In order to get my way alot of the time persuasion is used. I have learned to get what I want by persuading people that what it is I want is good for them as well, which 99% of the time it is. Other times I use simple girly tactics such as batting my eyelashes.:) And an occasional case of helplessness but very rarely.

commitments

Being in the olympics takes alot of commitment. You have to hardcore dedicate yourself to what you are doing and then push yourself. When you are in the olympics you don't have anytime for anything but that. You have to stay focused all the time. And not just for short periods, in the olympics you have to stay commited for years. It literally takes 100% of you will and dedication.

I have a commitment like the olympics. When I grow up I want to be a doctor. I have always wanted to be this for as long as I can remember. In order to do this I have to work really hard in school and dedicate myself to making good grades. I know it will take alot but I am very commited and always have been. Wish me luck:)

What winning means to me

Winning can mean alot of things. In the Olympics you compete for metals, where as in countries we fight for freedom, writes, and more land. In sports you are working with others or sometimes alone to win or advance in the game. All the same you are striving and pushing yourself for something that is important to you no matter what that might be.

I am a very athletic person, I play softball and am a former dancer. The most important thing I have ever won was last year when i was a freshman at Terry High School. I was on the varsity softball team as a freshman, one of three. We made our was all the way to State Tournament and came in first place. We worked so hard to get there, and even harder to win. It made me feel so accomplished to know that even as a freshman I worked really hard and had a big contribution to the teams success.

Taking a stand

It takes alot of heart and courage to take a stand for what you believe is right. Most people wont stick up for themselves, out of fear,or because they are shy,or maybe they just don't care. I think it is very important for you to take a stand. You should never let people or society treat you bad or walk all over you. Which is why I look up to Dr. Martin luthar King Jr..

Dr. Martin Luthar King Jr. held many revolts against slavery and prejudice ways. He took a stand for what he thought was wrong. He spoke for all the comunity in which was being treated poorly. And he made a difference. I think that if there is any that Dr. King is a top dollar example for someone who took a stand for something. And not only did he take a stand but he held his head high and had confidence in what he was doing. That is why Dr. Martin Luthar King Jr. is someone I look up to for taking a stand.

Seek first to understand..

My favorite habit that Sean Covey talks about in this book is to seek first to understand instead to be understood, which is in my opinion the best advice you can give a teenager. Teenagers are so eager to get their words across and to be understood by their peers that they sometimes completly discredit others feeling inorder to do so. this is a very bad character trait/ habit to inherit. I know this was something i have had alot of struggle with, i strive to be understood. This book has helped me incredibly with this and i am very greatful! Thank you Sean Covey:)
