                          Top 10 Rules of Success
Always keep your priorities: Do not loose focus in what is important like your faith and relationship with Jesus
Succeed by doing good: Do not climb to the top by bringing others down and making poor decisions
Do not get cought up in vanity: Do not spend your life chasing after money and material things
Stay Humble:Even if we are at the top we must remember that things are temporary and maintain a humble heart which pleases the Lord.
Have Faith, pray, and learn: The most important faith which is faith in God, and faith that with his help you can have great achievements. We can only rely on ourselves to a limit but we can always trust God without limit. We must be willing to learn and gain knowledge. For example by reading good things like The Bible.
(Philippians 4:13) "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
Do not try to be someone else: God made us all different with various strengths and qualities, therefore we can succeed by simply being who we are.
Be not Discouraged: If we do not start from the bottom then we cannot truly reach the top, success is not just about the stance at the top of the mountain but the climb it took to get there. 
As you go up bring others with you: You have heard about dragging others down with you, but do the opposite bring them up with you.
Remember where you came from: remember where you came from and the people that were there for you.
Be Patient and Work Hard: Success does not usually come overnight or without cause.
Be willing to start from the bottom: Sometimes we have to start from nothing

                             Class Evaluation:


1. In this class we focused on a variety of things throughout the year. There are many things that stood out to me because i find them very helpful and interesting. For example the course on html I find in very interesting because I feel that it is a tool for the future. Also, coding was another helpful subject in which we got the opportunity to gain a better understanding about the way that coding works. At last, I enjoyed the scratch programming because I had the chance to create something on my own and learn while at it.

2.  Although this class had interesting things, there are some things that did not stand out as much as others. For example, the time for breakfast was too short because sometimes we would not get to finish all our our food on time. Also, the fact that we have to take breakfast in order because some people would take double servings on their first time up ans leave non for the other people.

3. My recommendations for improving the class would be to change the schedule a little bit to do different activities ones in a while.  Also to announce to people to get just one serving the first time they get breakfast until everybody is able to get it. Then people can be notified if they want seconds.

4. Many things in this class stood out to me. I think that to each activity we had the change to learn and grow on our understanding in computer science. Somethings that stood out to me were the free lance posts because they gave us a chance to write something of our own and talk about a subject we had in mind. Also, the scratch programming was a highlight because we had a chance to express our creativity and ideas. that also helped us to understand the whole idea of how programming works. Also the coding was another resource to understanding coding.

5. At first I feel like I did very good on the class. During the first semester my grade was an A which is good. Sadly in the last few weeks my grade of an A went down because i was forgetful of some things. One of those things was that I forgot my life planning which brought my grade down to a B. To finalize that I was not aware of the summary that was assigned for us to do at home, which brought my grade to a C, now I am hoping to have at least a grade of a B.

6. To be frank I am not reading my life planning for at least 5 minutes daily. Most times I get distracted one I am out of school and forget to read it. I know that it is important to keep my goals in mind and to read them and work hard towards reaching them.

7. Although sometime I make the wrong choices I know that I should be striving to make rightful choices everyday.

10 Seeds of Greatness 





1.Seed Of Self Esteem (Appreciate and value yourself)
Self esteem is extremely important. How we value ourselves will reflect who we are to others. If we do not value ourselves much then we cannot expect other people to value us very much either.I think that there is a line between having self esteem and being over confident. We can still be humble and have self esteem. Self esteem does not mean that we think that we are better than everybody else. Self esteem means that we know we are unique and are worth very much. No matter how successful we are or how many times we fail we are still worth very much. Often when we do not achieve a goal or the success of other people we value ourselves as worthless and useless but it is important to know that this does not define who we are.
" The respect we get starts with ourselves"

2. The Seed of Creativity 
Creativity is important. We must try to make something ourselves and our way. Everyone is different and what works for others may not work for us. That is why in order to stand out and be remembered sometimes we must be creative and unique. Sometimes we can get great ideas from other people but we can also get great ideas from ourselves. Every person is different and we do not have to be exactly like somebody else. Creativity plays a big part in our everyday life, in school for example. When we do so many of our assignments it is required for us to be creative. Also in our jobs and even in the way we arrange things. We have a great ability to create many thing by using our minds and our creativity in a good way.
"One of our greatest gifts is that of being able to think and create"
3.  The Seed of Responsibility 
( Whatever we sow we reap) 
Responsibility is definitely one of the major keys to be successful.  It is important not only for our selves but for those around us as well. For example, our responsibily habits can affect those who we work or go to at school with . Or if we promise something to someone and we are irresponsible then that can affect them as well because others might be counting on us. Responsibility is one of the keys that successful people hold.  By being responsible we can do not let ourselves down and other people down. Also it is important to take responsibility for our own actions. Sometimes we might have done something that is wrong but that is when responsibility also comes in. To admit that we made a mistake and to try to fix it. It can also come in hand with honesty. I will try to apply more responsibility in my daily life as well by trying to complete my school work.

" Without responsibility there is no ability for success"

4.)The Seed of Wisdom " A large vocabulary which implies broad general knowledge -characterizes the more successful persons, regardless of their occupations.
Wisdom is a very essential characteristic that we should all be striving to have. Although wisdom is complex to define, it is not just composed of one kind of knowledge. Wisdom is not only knowledge on certain studies but in different fields. There are some things that we do not go to school to learn yet we still learn. In life, by our decisions we will choose to gain wisdom or not. The things we study for, like math and science
I do not consider them wisdom. Wisdom are the things we learn from other than that. It is a deeper understanding. Wisdom is reflected on the way we act and the choices that we make. I know that the best kind of wisdom we can attain is the wisdom in the Lord. Overall God is eternally wise and by seeking him he will grant us wisdom to understand the things that we do not. 
" Be not wise in your own eyes, fear the LORD and depart from evil."-Proverbs 3:7

5) The Seed of Purpose "The gold mine is your goals."


Purpose is very important to have our goals clear. Sometimes we might not know where we are going and that is why we must try to have a clear mind set. It is important to know the purpose of why we do certain things. Having a set purpose will help us to achieve certain goals. To understand and visualize the achievements we are going for. I think that to a certain extent we are able to control our purpose. Although there are always some things that are out of our control. Purpose in someway is defiened by the actions we take and decisions that we make. The people we surround ourselves too can contribute to the purpose of something. It is not easy to think of purpose as something that we can or cannot control but rather small thing that contribute to a bigger purpose.

The seed of Communication
reach out and touch someone
Communication is a very important seed because throughout our life we are surrounded by people whom we must communicate with. Sometimes it is harder to communicate with some people than with others but we have to try and still communicate in a respectful manner. Communication does not simplify to jut talking, rather it to let other people know the way we feel. We must not strive for just communication, but for appropriate communication. Sometimes people can talk but they are nor really communicating. Part of communication is also listening. We want to be listened when we talk that is why we must also listen when others talk. Also, in communication it is important to learn how to control our selves. At times, people will not talk or treat us nicely, but is is important that we keep our composure and good communication. This is key, most jobs look for people who are good communicators and work well with others. 





"The best communication comes not by both willing to talk , but by both willing to listen."




Faith: 
Faith is the most important seed out of all the seeds. Without faith then there is no meaning to anything we do. Faith is crucial to our purpose and what we do. It is important to have faith in ourselves and the things that we can do. But at the end we must not put all out faith in ourselves. Faith in God is the important faith. We do not have all the power to decide everything. That is why we must understand that God created us and He loves us and have faith in him more than in anything else. Faith in Jesus and his salvation is the best faith. To come to Him we must come with faith and a humble heart. It is vain to put our faith on things that are not God for those things are useless and will have an end.

Adaptability: Turning problems into opportunities 
Adaptability is very important throughout many situations in life. Sometimes we are given situations that we must adapt to and work with. Not everything will always be the way that we want it to be. That is why it is important to accept certain things and make them work as best. For example, many people who now own big businesses and companies have started out by accepting and adapting to situations. They were not given the exact opportunities to achieve their goal but they adapted and worked with those opportunities in order to move forward. Sometimes the problems that we face are actually a step forward to something else. We must not let ourselves get brought down by those things, instead try to get the most out of it and work with them. All this things are very important to take into account. It is not just about the opportunities we get, but the problems that we turn into opportunities. 

"If life gives you lemons make lemonade"








Perspective:
 "Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude."

Many of us do not usually think about the importance of the perspective of things. This can make a big difference. Perspective is something that does not usually come to mind when we think of success. This is because we forget that the way we view think and view some things can actually make a difference. The perspective of the things we do and their outcome can make a difference also. Sometimes we think that some people have it better than us, but it is just the way that we view things. The perspective of certain things can make a difference on wether we are content with certain things or not. Some of the people who are noe successful have had a good perspective even when they fail at certain things. That is why they keep on trying and see things differently.













Final Reflection: Every seed is the 10 seeds has a purpose, which is to help improve every person in different aspects of life. It is not about being better than others, but being a better self everyday. To achieve this there are certain aspects that contribute to the improvement. We usually never stop to think about this seeds and how to use them. That is why we must think about all these areas and work to improve them. The seeds work together to generate a greater outcome. Although they may seem like they do not apply to our goals in some small or big part they do. I think the most important seed is the seed of faith. If we have no faith then we have no purpose. Also that will help us find out our purpose. There are some seeds that I feel like are more important, but at the end all seeds have relevance and purpose. I will work on trying to remember the seeds and apply them to my personal life daily. For example, I think that I need to apply the seed of adaptability more often.

Ten Tips for Being More Truthful
Barbara A. Lewis


Wife, mother, religious worker, national award-winning author and educator  


The Ten Tips

  1. Make a commitment to tell the truth.
  2. Tell someone about your commitment.
  3. Think before you give a dishonest answer, explanation, sarcasm, or reason.
  4. Be careful of when and how you use exaggeration, sarcasm, or irony.
  5. Be careful not to twist the truth or leave out part of it.
  6. Don't indulge in little white lies.
  7. Watch out for silent lies.
  8. When you catch yourself lying, throw your mouth into reverse.
  9. Talk to yourself.
  10. Treat yourself when you tell the truth.

Reflection:
Telling the truth is very important. As I have written in my previous blogs being honest is key to many things. Honesty does not only benefit us but those around us as well. There are small ways that we can improve our honesty such as the tips by Barbara Lewis. The tips can benefit me by slowly removing some of the bad habits that I have and by improving my honesty. For example, sometimes I may not even realize it but I might be exaggerating a story too much. That is when I can apply the tip of being careful with exaggeration. Also when we keep quiet at a question that can be a silent lie and I know that many of us do it. The ten tips are very important to live because honesty applies in many of the aspects of our everyday lives like at school and at work. It is important that we are honest not only to ourselves and those around us but to everybody we encounter even if we do not get along with them. Sometimes the truth can cause harm but not being honest can cause even more harm in the long run. I will incorporate the ten tips by achieving my goals through honesty.

                                School Break Days 
During spring break I did not go to any far away places I pretty much stayed in my area. I went to eat to different locations around the city .Some of the things that I did were play basketball, watch movies, and hang out with friends. I went to play basketball for two days with some of my friends from the team, also I watched a lot of movies and started and finished watching a series.

             Chris Paul
Chris Paul showed loyalty in his game. He was loyal to his team by working to get them a win. He was also loyal to to his by scoring the 61 points in his game. He also received loyalty from the rest of his family who attended to his games. Also they closed down businesses in order to go and see him play. He probably also received loyalty from the rest of his team as well who helped him score. Furthermore he stayed loyal to himself by scoring the points that he tough he could score. At first it seemed like he was not able to do it but he persuaded his goal and achieved it. It is also possible that he could have scored more but he stayed at what he said that he was going to score.

                                 Pyramid of success


      John Wooden 

                     25 Building Blocks 
                of The Pyramid Of Success

Block 1: Industriousness 
In other word he means hard work. Very hard work. There is no substitute for very hard work when it comes to success.Hard work is just a part of success. Hard work is part of the effort of achieving a certain goal.With hard work we achieve and get better at things. Things do not just come to us, Many times we must work hard for their achievement. An example of this is the many times that we work hard for sports. We must set our minds to do so. Practice and believe that we can achieve certain things. Hard work will also make us appreciate some things even more. Sometime we must earn out things through hard work.



Block 2: enthusiasm 

It is the engine that powers all blocks of the pyramid. It is why I choose industriousness and enthusiasm as the the cornerstones if my pyramid of success. This is where everything begins

Enthusiasm is very important. Of we do not have enthusiasm for what we do then things will not have the best come off. It is essential to the will of doing something. Enthusiasm can encourage us. In order to achieve the fullest  on the others block we must take in count enthusiasm. Enthusiasm can lead us to achieve more. For example, A person that has enthusiasm towards her game instead of being scared and angered, the enthusiasm in that person might lead them to do better. It is also what makes us want to keep on going and putting effort. This can apply to different t hing as well. It can apply to daily life and activities like games. It can apply to our school,sports, and actions. Enthusiasm is where we get our positive attitude from. That is why it is important for all the other categories.

Block 3: Friendship
Comes from mutual esteem , respect, and devotion.Like marriage it must not be taken for granted.

Friendship is very important. We never know when we will need a friend or when some one will need us. It is ito show mutual appreciation. To show the person that we are there for them and to try to help them in any way that we can. Frienship is something that we must take care of. We also must try to get influenced by the right people and not the wrong people. Friendship is important in the different situations that we can be. For example, friendship within a team migh hekp the people feel connected. It will also account for having a nice time with the teammates as friends. Frienship is something nice that we all should have. We must not judge a certain person before we get to know them. We never know, they may just need a friend.
\
Block 4: Loyalty
"To yourself and to all those depending on you . Keep yourself respect."
Loyalty is very important. We must try to be loyal is several aspects. Loyalty is important to others, Not only to the rest though, but to ourselves.Loyalty can be applied to so much. It can build up. It can build up our self esteem and our trust. It builds stronger relations with others as well. Other can feel comfortable depending on you when you are a loyal person. Loyalty is important in self improving. For example. you can be loyal to the basketball team you are on and in different aspects. You can be loyal to yourself by not giving up and working hard. You can be loyal to your team by being dependable and trying your best, and you can be loyal to the coach as well.


Block 5: Cooperation 
Cooperation is very important. To cooperate with others regardless of how people get along. We will not always cooperate with people that we get along with but sometimes we are going to have to. For example, in school we sometimes have to work with others we dont particularly know. Regardless of that we must put in out part and cooperate. Cooperation is also important when you are in a team. For example, a sports team. Teams work together and cooperate. Therefore it is important for us to be cooperate with our teammates.

Block 6: Ambition
For noble goals
It is important to know how to tell our goals a part. Ambition is important for good things.Whit ambition we can get motivated. There are people who have ambition for bad things like money and that makes them greedy. We must see to have ambition for good goals.

Block 7: Self Control
           Self control is important for people. It is a way to stay on track and achieve certain things. There are many examples of self control out there. We can have self control in our school, sports, and jobs. For example we can have self control on thing like studying for a test. Also on what we see and the things we eat. Self control can boost our performance and confidence. Practicing to do better on a sport can also require self control, and the energy and will to do so.

block 8: Alertness
"Be observing constantly, stay open minded, be eager to learn and improve"
Alertness is very important in the things we do. Such as in school we must try to learn new things every time. We must wanna feel like we are awake and playing attention.We gotta try to have the energy to stay alert and do certain things. Also we have to be alert and track our improvement. There are different ways to be alert at different things. For example, when we are playing a sport we can try to be alert to score. To know what is happening in all the sides of the court. Alertness is also what helps us to realize our improvements. So, there are different ways to stay alert and benefits from it.

Block 9: Initiative
"Cultivate the ability to make decisions, do not be afraid of failure but learn from it."

We can try to not be afraid of failure. None of us really like failure, but it is something that we can learn from.Failure happens many times, but it matters how many of those we get back up. We can try to remain with confidence in ourselves. For example, in a school projects we can fail and get a bad score, but from that we can learn how to improve our next assignment. This is something that we can get from it. We can use this on our jobs as well. I think that when John Wooden wrote this he knew that many of his players were afraid to take a chance, so he wrote this to encourage them to do it. For example, many basketball players will not take the shot because they think that they cannot do it.
Block:10 Intentness
"Set a realistic goal. Concentrate on its achievements by resisting all temptations. Be determined and persistent."
Intentness is important to persue our goal, it is to have the intent to do and achieve our goals. We must try to concentrate to achieve them at our best potential. The intent to work hard towards meeting our goals. Most of the times there are distractions that drift us away from what we had intended to do.For example, we might intent to stay after school and practice for two hours for our sport, but then our friends may come along and invite us to have pizza with them. This shows that sometimes there are things that we want to do more at the time. To show determined to that practice and persist on getting better. These are part on intentness.
Block 11:Sincerity
keeps friends
Although many of the times we might not like the truth on some things it is better to say it. At times we might be afraid to say certain things it is better to let a person find out by our sincerity, than by some other way. The problem is that the bonds that we might have build trough a long time can easily damage when we are not sincere and the other person finds out. Sincerity is essential not only to build trust but to keep it. An example of sincerity can be a situation where you try to decide if you tell your friend something that they might not like or hide it from them. But there is a chance that a person will eventually find out. Also, when we know we have been sincere we probably feel better too. John Wooden wrote sincerity by because he knew that it was something very important. Especially in a team like the one he coached. The players need to have sincerity with each other in and out of the court.
Block 12: Adaptability
To any situation
Many times the places that we are at will not always be as we would like it. It may be people or places that we are not necessary comfortable at, but we need to adapt. There are so many situations in life and that is why in order to succeed overall we must learn to adapt. Places where we might find it difficult to adapt may be at school, work, or a place where we live. That is why it is important for to adapt. A different example of adapting may be, getting a new coach on the team. The coaching style, warm ups and exercises that the new coach does may be different. They might not even be as effective, but if what you really want is to be on the team then you can try to adapt to them. We can try to work best with what we have. Once we adapt to certain things, then they content will also become more interesting.
Block 13: Condition
"Mental, moral-physical. Rest. exercise and diet must be considered. Moderation must be practiced. Dissipation must be eliminated."

The condition that one is in is very important, it will reflect on what we do. Regardless if we play a sport and are on a team, physical condition is very important. It is not just how we look but our overall health. Also, it is important to get both rest and exercise. These things will affect our work performance.In fact, physical health can play a role in our emotional health as well. That is why this can be so important. Also John Wooden knew that mental condition also affects the person, not just physical that is why he wrote this. Diet is also included because it is important, we get our energy from the food we eat and the nutrients for ourselves that is why it is important to eat good foods. We can try to have self control and moderation.



Block 14: Skill
" A knowledge of and the ability to properly and quickly execute the fundamentals. Be prepared and cover every detail."

Skill is very important. We can gain skill by putting hard work and practicing. We can have skill in different thing for example in a sport or at school. People do not just have a certain amount or a skill, but instead we out our work to it and improve it. Multi tasking is also a very important skill. In life we can be very busy and have many things going on. The ability to do several things is important. Especially in a team coach Wooden knew that skill was crucial. I can mostly relate school to sports and other thing. But i think that it can be in every day life as well.  Skills are things that we can work on to improve everyday.





Block 15:Team Spirit
A genuine consideration for others. An eagerness to sacrifice personal interests of glory for the welfare of all"
In most of the places that we are in we will most likely work with others. Sometimes we will not get along so well with everybody, but we must try our best to have a good environment. At times we might get out in a team at work or in a school. Not every person will work the same and participate but we must work the well of others. Therefore, team spirit is very important do. We must try to get along with others and have that team spirit as well. Team spirit is very important for everybody. Team work will show up in most of the places we are and things that we do. Also in sports team spirit is extremely important. For example in basketball John Wooden knew that the players needed team spirit in order to win. They needed to play as a team and not individuals to get many wins..

Block 16: Honesty
In thought and action
Honesty is a very important block. John Wooden knew that honesty is a very strong quality of a team.
The players needed to be honest to themselves and to the team. Honesty is a great quality to have for wherever we go. It is honesty that builds trust. If we are not honest then we might even loose the trust that others have put on us. When we are on a team we can be honest by not cheating ourselves and putting in out best effort. We can also be honest to our coach about the ways that we have trained and behaved. We can be honest to our teammates to gain better trust and build strong bonds. Additionally we can be honest to the game and well by not cheating and taking any kind of unfair advantage.
Block 18: Poise
" Just being yourself, being at ease at any situation"
Graceful and elegant bearing in a person
 It is important to be poise, at many situations we might change who we are for certain reasons but we must try to remain in integrity. It is important to build are character and constantly improve on it.  Also to build self confidence and manner. Poise is to have a composure. There are many details that add up to poise and John Wooden wrote this because he knew that poise was also important for members of a team. In order to do well in the team the players needed poise. To be stable and self composed. For example in order for a player to work his best, he first needed to rely on himself. If people are themselves and not dragged down by certain situations in life, then it can be a benefit to them and to the people that surround them.

Block 19: Confidence
"Respect without fear. May come from being prepared and keeping all tings in proper perspective."
To do certain things in life I think that we need confidence. Many of the times we get taken over by a rush of emotions but we must try to stay confident in who we are.  I think that trust is impoortant in achieving confidence. The dictionary describes it as self reliability. For other people to trust us as well we must try to remain confident.


Block 21: Fight 
determined effort
Some of our goals are harder to achieve than others and that is the reason why we must try and why we must fight. Sometimes we might just want to give up, but we should not go down without a fight. We do not fight anyone we do not fight people. We fight the situations that are against us and the things that are holding us back. We can bring down a good fight without violence. In a good fight we fight without violence. In this case to fight can also be to try and not giving up, to persuade and not let other factors bring you down. Sometimes we may loose a battle but win the war.
Block 22: Competitive Greatness 
"Be at your best when your best is needed. Enjoyment of a difficult challenge."
Competition can inspire us to push ourselves towards becoming better. Competition is good as long as it is fair. Without competition people would not push themselves to the limit. For example athletes, they strive to do better then those around them who compete against them. The challenge can be good if we deal with it properly. An example of competition can be when the two best shooter on the team work hard to improve their skills and compete with each other without sabotaging each other. But at the end regardless of who can make more shots they are still friends and work together as a team. Also competitions among teams can be a benefit to them and the player can work together. But during competition it is important to remain with sportsmanship and at the end of it as well.
Block 24: Faith
Believe and achieve
In order to achieve great things we must first have faith. Faith is one of the most important aspects of our achievements. To have confidence on what it is we are doing. If we first do not believe that we can achieve something, then it will be more complicated to actually achieve it. Faith is an essential key. The faith we have should be put first and foremost in our creator and savior, then in us and the achievements. Faith defines who we are. Without faith then we will not think of a future where we reach our objectives. Faith comes along with many other things that are very important. Faith is an important block to many of the things that we hope to achieve.

Block 25:Patience
good things take time
Some times the more we wait for certain things, the more we will get to appreciate them them. Not all things we want come exactly when we want it. Some take longer than others, but we must have patience. Patience is very important. If we do not learn to have patience then we might just give up, but the patience will keep us waiting. I think to be patient is also try to maintain a good attitude throughout. We can also be patient with ourselves. For example, we can be patient with the process of getting better at something, like basketball. We can try to understand that learning certain things is a process and by practicing we will get better. In order to succeed patience is important. School is also an example of the patience that we can experience daily. School takes so many years, from our childhood to our adulthood, and for many much more years after that. We must be patient in order to complete school as well. Try to do our best at it.
