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."

I agree with this key to personal power. You should always have clarity. You should always have in mind to what you want to do in the future. If you don't then you will struggle because you have nothing planned. You'll just end up working for the people who do have clarity. Those people who do have clarity will know what they want. You will be lost and maybe even end up working for them. You need to have big visions in order to have things planned. It is always best to imagine yourself doing something in the future because that way you'll possibly achieve it.

Key 2: Competence 
"If you commit to excellence, opportunities will always come your way. The harder you work, the better you get."

I agree with this key because you should always be competitive. You have to be committed to do what you want to do. If you want to be successful you have to be good at what you do. You have to be committed to excellency in order to be successful. The harder you work the better you will get. You should always strive at what you want to do. Always fight for what you want to do in life. Those people who work hard, achieve more things. If you are those types of people who are hard workers then you will be successful but if your not then you won't accomplish much.

Key 3: Concentration: 

"Make the best use of your time. Ask yourself "Is this the best use of my time?" before you start anything."
I agree with this key to personal power. You should strive your best to get what you want. Excellence opens up to many opportunities. You should concentrate on the most important stuff.I think that this key statement is trying to tell us that you have to make the best out of the spare time we have. even though you might only have a few minutes or hours, you can use that time in something useful or even you can change something you did wrong.

Key 4: Common sense

• Train your mind
• think things through
• listen to your intuition 
• learn from setbacks

I agree with this key you should always know common sense. 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 bad with most things they do.  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.This makes that person look bad because they aren't good thinkers. Like the phrase "think before you act" is a good example of knowing what common sense is.

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."

I agree with this key to personal power. Creativity is the key that opens new and great doors that will lead you to your future. Creativity is one of the best qualities one can have, because it makes you out stand around anybody. Creativity is one thing that makes you think for yourself as well as it helps you create you own path towards success. Creativity is one thing that can automatically make you independent , because your able to think of new and better things that others never imagined.Creativity helps you expand like a gift you have that is waiting to just burst out and show everyone. Creativity will give you new and better concepts that others never had which simply makes you ahead of everyone else.

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."

I agree with this key "consideration".This key makes you think about others rather than simply yourself. Once others realize how considerate you are you start to develop trust on others, that will benefit you later in the future. This key wont only make you feel better, but it'll also make others feel as if their opinions really matter. Like in our IDP I have to be considerate enough to with others in my group in order that our project works properly.If one wants to accomplish big things one should take into consideration others ideas in order to expand your ideas. This key is like sharing ideas with others. This is like a thought ,thinking about it overtime like a benefit. 

 

 Key 7:Consistency

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

Be consistent in your relationship. your family, friends, your boss, your work. Be the person people can depend upon. That if you say you'll do something you do it..."

Consistency is something one should have due to the fact that it helps you be on track with whatever you may be doing. When you are a consistent you are able to accomplish your goals faster. Consistency can also show what type of person you are; many may rapidly say you are a very responsible and intelligent important. Consistency is actually very challenging, due to the fact that you have to be on top of your work without falling behind. One should challenge themselves to be a consistent person, because at the end of the day your consistency will make you on top of everyone by simply not procrastinating. By being consistent one is able to be ahead of others and that'll make others ask for help. This could be taken in a positive way, because it sows how basically your others role model. In conclusion, if you are a consistent person you'll not only be on top of your work, but you'll also reach your goals very fast.




Key 8: Commitment

"No success is possible without commitment. The ability to commit yourself whole heartily is the basic of achieving all success."
"Become totally absorbed in your work. Be totally committed."

Commitment is dedication to things. Commitment turns you into a person that's very responsible. Also it turns you into a person that never gives up, and once your given a task you don't rest until you've succeeded. I have to be committed to my work in order to have everything I need in life. If on the other hand I am not a committed person towards my things at the last  minute I'll be probably be rushing everything. One has to be totally absorbed in their duties, due to the simple fact that that's what makes you succeed. In conclusion, if one has a goal one has to be fully committed to it in order to accomplish it. You can be committed to many things although it can be hard. If you think your not ready to commit to something you shouldn't even try.


Key 9: Courage

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

I agree with this key to  personal power. One should always have  the courage to do things.  Having courage is something very important everyone should have. In order to succeed in life one should be courageous in order to succeed. One needs to be courageous in order to try new things that will lead you to success. Being courageous basically means that we have sometimes do things we don't like. If you do not have courage you'll always be afraid to try new things this will unfortunately effect your future. If you fear in doing wrong in life, and never even bother to try you'll defiantly fail later on, due to the fact that you never even try to overcome that fear. If one never tries to accomplish something you'll never know either if you would of succeeded or not. In conclusion, one should never have the fear to fail, because failing is just a process leading to actual success. 

Key : Confidence 

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

  I agree with this key , confidence.Confidence allows you to try  new things while keeping a positive attitude at all times. When one is confident one is capable of doing many things others would not do. I personally believe that when one is confident nothing is ever a challenge, because you'll always think and know you'll do great. I am not that confident , compared to how others who are . I am the kind of person that always has doubts. This truly affects me, especially in school, due to the fact that every time I do something I doubt myself and my work. I even make myself believe I can not do it. I will try to change myself for the better. I am trying to be a confident person, because I know that, that is a huge key I still need to accomplish in order to succeed in life.
