1. Getting on course to your success.
In chapter one they ask, what is success? I believe success is keeping up good grades, living a happy life by maintaining a social life. Success is to be looked up to by many. Last but not least I believe success is to leave the world knowing you’ve made somebody’s life easier by your existence. They asked that question to many undergraduate students and some of the answers they gave were “Success is to get all A’s and B’s, being the first person in my family to earn a college degree, having a great social life…etc.” Those were only a few answers. The interviewers noticed that each response emphasized outer success. Then they interviewed actual college graduates, and there answers were a little different. They said “success is to focus on learning instead of just getting good grades, discover my personal values, learn more about the world I live In and more about myself, etc.” Those answers were similar but the college graduates focused on inner success. In this chapter I learned a lot. I learned about values I need to succeed in life. I need to believe in myself by developing self-acceptance. High self-esteem is the fuel that can propel us into the cycle of success. If I have high self-esteem, I will most likely chose options that will move me toward success. If you don’t believe in yourself most likely no body will.
2. Accepting Personal Responsibility In this chapter I learned the value of responsibility and its beneficial outcomes. When people keep doing what they’ve been doing even when it doesn’t work, they are acting as victims. When people change their beliefs and behaviors to create the best result they can, they are acting as creators. I learned when you accept your personal responsibility; you believe that you can create everything you possibly want. A great thing about our future is that we get to create it; we create it with our choices. The
