1. The Seed of Self-Esteem (Appreciate the value of yourself)
“From self-love to self-worth
The boundaries of that zone are set by our beliefs about ourselves who we think we are, what we believe we’re worth, what fits the image we hold about ourselves, and mostly, what we believe we deserve. Receive more than you think you’re worthy of, and you start behaving in ways that bring you back to that comfortable level where you know who you are again. That’s why lottery winners usually end up back where they were in 3 years or less. That’s why 80% or more of start-up businesses fail within the first 3 years. It’s like a thermostat if your environment goes above or below that pre-set level we’re happy with, something kicks in to bring it back into line. Change what you believe about yourself, start seeing yourself as having more to offer, and you’ll start allowing more good things into your life. The higher you build your self esteem, the higher that thermostat gets set, and the more you experience success. By setting it to new, higher levels, you’re not only overcoming that inbuilt resistance that counteracts what’s happening and brings you back down to where you were before, but turning it to your advantage to help you achieve ever higher levels of success.
2. The Seed of Creativity“Releasing your creative energy"
Most perceive creativity to a talent for the chosen few. Others see it as something external that is mostly out of our control. Creativity is not an exclusive right to a selective group of people. It is true that there are those who are gifted with a greater aptitude for literal creative thinking but thinking and idea generation are skill that one can learn easily. A less focused mind is likely to make connections faster and realize a novel solution to a problem than a focused mind. A good way to start is look at what looks inspiring to you from respected piece for work. After going through a good number of them, making sure you make your own personal references of course, try to replicate them randomly. In life you have learned that it takes a tremendous amount of effort to learn something new. This could be driving a car, riding a bike or playing a piano. But as you apply the skill daily it becomes an effortless act that you do not have to think about.
3. The Seed of Responsibility
"Whatever we sow, we reap."
FULL ANSWER
Nearly everyone values a responsible person who takes care of business. If one proves that he is responsible when handling small matters, the person may be rewarded with greater responsibilities. Being responsible also means admitting when one has made a mistake and taking full accountability for the consequences that follow. Responsible people aim to obey the law and refrain from causing trouble. It is difficult for others to trust and rely on anyone who is irresponsible. Parents are relieved when children are responsible enough to care for themselves and do the right things. When a person chooses a long-term partner to build a relationship with, he is likely to be a responsible one. Employers love employees that are dependable, and they generally terminate those who are not. Youth are often thought to be less responsible because they are still learning proper time management and self-control. Older people are expected to be more responsible, but this is not the case with immature adults.
4. The Seed of Wisdom
"A large vocabulary--which implies broad, general knowledge--characterizes the more successful persons, regardless of their occupations."
Wisdom can be considered to be a useful 'truth' with a long shelf life ('it has stood the test of time'), and it is particularly related to insights that are useful in understanding the relationships that work well within ourselves, and in relationships with each other and with the universe as a whole. (Hence the insights are globally recognizable.) It is important to recognize that all Wisdom is based on well founded information, but certainly it is not the case that all well founded information is Wisdom. There are sometimes when people mistake for what we consider knowledge for wisdom but they are two very different things. Knowledge is not the type that goes and teaches other a new life lesson or such it is more like a person who is able to see paths leading to other ways using the knowledge they have. Wisdom is more like a life lesson considered to help one self and others such like Gandhi who was a very wise person and he was also a pretty knowledgeably person.
5. The seed of Purpose "The gold mine in your goals"
When having purpose in life it gives someone a sense of work. Purpose is what you want that makes you want to get better in life. Not all the people in the world know what their purpose is but they can try and find they might make it or they might not. There are so many of us that wonder if we even have purpose in life well they do just like how the computer was made for what not use it of course your going to use it or like the copy and paste action why was it made in the first place if you no is suppose to use it. But having somebody else tell you your purpose is counter intuitive to a certain degree. Sure you can give them suggestions as to what their purpose can or should be, but until they acknowledge that the purpose that was suggested is their purpose, in other words, they make it their own, they cannot garner the full benefits from it. Everything someone does in their life is just giving them purpose something they can work towards. If there are people out there like me and of course their are people who just cant go a day without have something to work towards or else you kinda feel like you just given up so you find something to do in matter what it is and your determined to finish it.
6. The seed of communication
"reach out and touch someone"
Communication in is one of the key factors in achieving your goal or being a leader. Communication is the strongest to well talk to others and get others informed over or maybe just asking for help. In a country the key part in it is communication everyone in the country will know what is going on and whats happening. If no one has communication then how are others suppose to know about anything. Communication is key. If you run a business and you don't have any communication with your workers or even the customers your business will fail. Just in life if you aren't communicating and you aren't using to your full advantage you are doomed to fail. Some workers can even say things like “what we have here is a failure to communicate” or “I have no idea what the boss wants” or “what are we trying to accomplish here”. This is all stuff that is an indicator that your business is about to fail.
Seed 7: Faith: The power of positive believing
The power of faith and belief is real power. Believing that you can attain your goal is of great importance for its achievement. Without faith, there will be doubts and disbelief, which lead to non-doing and to non-achievement. Faith draws and attracts what you want into your life, whereas doubts, worries and disbelief push them away. If you read about the lives of people who have achieved success, you would discover that faith played a major role in their life. They believed they can achieve their goals and had no doubts about it. They visualized their goal as already achieved, as already a fact, and this is what you also need to do. I'm talking about is not the faith of religion, but faith in yourself, in your ability to achieve goals, faith that thoughts can turn into things, faith in your vision, and faith in the power that created and is creating and recreating the world, within which you exist. Faith in this sense equals belief and certainty that you can achieve your goal. This kind of belief and faith strengthen the motivation to act and do things, and helps you maintain the positive attitude necessary for success. If you have faith in yourself then you have belief that you'll be able to accomplish the things you want and become the good person you wanted to be. You will know the strength that you have and the ability to fight on.
Seed 8: Adaptability: "Turning Problems into opportunities"
Adaptability is a really strong skill you can have because and for the most part everyone has the strength to be adaptable. When you can adapt to almost any situation you should be able to have a better understanding of what is to expect or do. You can use this in classes for example there may be teachers who teach in a different way or just have a different style of teaching. If you can adapt to these changes you should be able to follow with the class. There may also be times when you have different occasions that you have to attend and you have adapt to what you wear during the time and even how you act and speak. The biggest plus to being able to be adaptable is that if there is a problem you can have better understanding of the problem or maybe have more control over the problem and not have such a huge problem anymore and you'll be able to understand what to do to and have the better answer to the problem. If others can see that you are able to adapt they will see you have a great skill that you have mastered and more opportunity's will be opened up for you it would be a great skill to have in a job because depending on the situation of your job you can handle it and others will see it as a great thing and maybe you can move up in position.
Seed 9: Perseverance
"The will to win is everything."
Perseverance is a important skill to have in your life. It isn't the easiest skill to have because of the reason that you have sorta become narrow minded towards your goal and it will help in what you want to achieve. Just about everywhere you go where you do some sort of work you need perseverance because it will help you in what you want to achieve. Sometimes it is a hard skill to obtain because you kinda have to give up the things you want for the thing you want to do. People who do have this skill will want to strive for more in because they are leaving things that will hinder them in the long run of achieving their goal of course not forever but for a while or just a little bit because of the reason that they want to get to their goal and make it. Also when you set a goal it at least has to be a goal you can do there are somethings that are impossible to reach right now because of how it is but maybe later it is more reachable. You should also go for goals that will benefit you and you will see that those are the goals that will make you a better person overall and in the long run. All the things that go on in life and all the things that will try to hold you back all you need to do is to keep moving forward and keep pushing forward and to not give up it will give you one of the best feelings in the world when you achieve something you thought you couldn't.
Seed 10: Perspective
“Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.”
Having perspective is a really strong skill you can have because and for the most part everyone has the strength to be to see things from a different perspective. When you can see something in a different way you should be able to have a better understanding of what is to expect or do. You can use this in classes for example there may be teachers who teach in a different way or just have a different style of teaching. If you can change your perspective of their teaching you should be able to follow with the class. There may also be times when you have different occasions that you have to attend and you have to change what you wear during the time and even how you act and speak. The biggest plus to being able to see a different perspective if there is a problem you can have better understanding of the problem or maybe have more control over the problem and not have such a huge problem anymore and you'll be able to understand what to do to and have the better answer to the problem. If others can see that you are able to adapt they will see you have a great skill that you have mastered and more opportunity's will be opened up for you it would be a great skill to have in a job because depending on the situation of your job you can handle it and others will see it as a great thing and maybe you can move up in position.
Reflection: I thought that most of these are pretty good and decent but most of them are just things that we already learned so I didn't gain much knowledge from here. I don't think ill use'em really cause most of them are things that we already know from basic knowledge and its just something that there isn't much to talk about. I in all honesty just think that most of these are taken from other ideas just as every other one like for say you have one person talking about how you should feel great then there is going to be someone else saying how you should feel good about your self and feel special so none of these really surprise because it' s just a repeat from other things we learned in this class. All of these i could just really connect it to the other post we wrote so nothing new here. Some of these i even thought that were very vague and maybe didn't know what they were talking about but oh well nothing too big. So in conclusion i think that most of these are pretty good to learn if you haven't already and that i wont talk about them with anyone that I know because even they know about all these from basic common knowledge and other things they heard it from.
