Becoming Your Best: The 12 Principles of Highly Successful Leaders.
1. Be true to character.
Character is built as it is tested, tried, and refined over time through adversity and challenges. It is having the courage to stand tall and true to others and to yourself.
"Truth can be stated in a thousand different ways, yet each one can be true."
2. Use your imagination.
Using your imagination is you will always think outside the box and have some creativity on things you do. You can you use your imagination to inspire yourself to live, because imagination is a big thing life that you can use because you're being BOLD, and standing out from everyone else which doesn't make you different it makes you unique, and being unique isn't bad. If you can imagine being anything in world, for example if you have that imagination that someday you'll be a brain surgeon you can it make it happen if you believe in yourself and not doubt your imagination because every person can have a variety of dreams and imaginations but it's themselves who can make them happen so it won't be an imagination for so long.
" Logic will get you from A to Z. Imagination will take you everywhere."
3. Apply the power of knowledge.
Knowledge is the thing that prevents us from doing any negative stuff. Knowledge is the thing that makes us do and say positive things. Without knowledge one wouldn't be able to do anything in life. In fact, knowledge is not easy at all to withhold but we have to work very hard in order to gain knowledge. Knowledge can be useless if you don't apply it in your life.The reason in which we should apply knowledge onto our regular day life is because we need it on a regular basis in order to function correctly. Knowledge will help us understand life in a didn't perspective and way we never thought of.
"It is beyond doubt that all our knowledge begins with experience."
4. Never give up.
Giving up shouldn't be an answer you should try and try until you succeed in something you want to achieve. If give up in the first try what makes you think you think that you wouldn't be able to make it? Giving up shouldn't be something you decide make it something your motivated to do, because if have to think i wont give up and you can do it but you don't have a little have faith in yourself it will be worth it.
"Never give up on what you really wan to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than the one with the facts."
5. Find peace and balance.
By finding peace it will help you see life a little different than you usually do and being balance is good as well because you'll know how to maintain your personal and school / work life separate than mixing both together. You should have an equal balance with everything you do in your life don't focus on just one thing it wont the balance equilibrium. You have to focus on multiple things and find peace in it. Like yin-yang there's a balance the good must have a bit of bad and the bad must have a little good it's just the balance in yin-yang.
"Feminism is not only for women It's something everyone can participate in, and evolve together, as the first step in the right direction. I see feminism as a tool to achieve that balance and peace."
6. Live by the Golden Rule.
There are different kinds of Golden Rule people look up to. But you always have ton follow it because it guides on the right path in your life and it helps you a lot.
"I believe in the Golden Rule. I believe in practicing it."
7.Build and maintain trust.
By building trust with a person because you can always count on them with anything and they returned the favor back to you. Building a trust with someone make you open with one another and discuss about things you might have in common and you get to know there personality and how they are towards each other. You have to sincere with others and be kind in order to build trust. By maintaining a friendship it shows how strongly you build the trust of that person. Be careful who you trust because those you thought you trusted will or can go against you.
"The foundation of a friendship is trust."
8. Quick to listen slow to wrath.
I think that this principle is about you to listen and to not get mad easily. Because once you get you can't control what you say or do which is bad because you can offend a person like that. You need to control your temper or it will control you. It it basically means is if you can't do something don't get mad and try again.
"He who's slow to anger, has great understanding."
9.Lead with vision.
I honestly, think that this means be a leader with an imagination on what you want to accomplish. Don't be someone who leads without no goals and imagination put towards the thing you want to work for. Leading with vision shows you how capable you are with doing certain things. You need to have a visual of the thing you want to be or need. Without out visual how do you know you'll get it or get where you are. Everyone uses visual with anything like a construction worker, doctor, surgeon. and a student to achieve what they want because once you visualize it you can get with hard work and dedication towards the thing you want.
"The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps - we must step up the stairs."
10. Manage with a plan.
I believe this mean by managing with plan you know what your doing. By planning it you'll know what to work on with anything in mind honestly. If you work before planning out something it won't come out right at all because you need to know what your working for then you can work on your plan. Its like having a construction work build something without having a blueprint on what they need to build. You always have to know what you want because that's the main plan than you can manage in your life.
" You've got to know what you want. This is central to acting on your intentions. When you know what you want, you realize that all there is left then is time management. You'll manage your time to achieve your goals because you clearly know what you're trying to achieve in your life."
11. Do what matters the most.
The thing that matters more is your priority. What also matters the most is how you picture yourself.
12. Be accountable.
I think this be understand everything like peoples perspectives and yours. You have to understand anything at any situation . Being accountable will help you in life through everything you go through.
