10 Keys to Success

10 Keys to Personal Power

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 specific goals in life, you are doomed forever to work for others who do."

Its a pretty concept that any one can handle really. It sprung from the desire of something. Something they want to own or have in life so there life can feel a little more completed. just like most people desire to make money to get the things they want. Or it can be as simple as trying to be the best at something. Or there ambition to be better what they do whether they be good or bad. Those are the people that have the clarity. They know what they want and they will work for it no matter the cost...will some might work around it to get the same end result. For example the man named Hisoka is a world class Magician but a murder at the same time that strives to hunt the strongest opponents. He meets to fellow kids that want that have caught his attention through there vast potential they have. This a example of his clarity and also a not so good one. In the end he has his own form of goals.

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

work work work is something people need to know is and will always be better than raw natural talent. You can have someone who is skill at kung fu and be natural at it but if they do not out in the work they will get eventually outclass. Take example the name that everyone knows. Bruce Lee was a man that worked hard and kept at it day and night. Determination does not happen over night people. Bruce Lee set his mind and stayed committed to what he did and became a world class martial artist beating the best of the best. Any one and i mean anyone can be amazing if they have the competence to do it so. As stated before in the last key just like hisoka was a world class murder we have a kid named Gon that is trying his best to become strong as a hunter and to be able to see his dad named Ging. This boy was a natural but as well he put in the work to also improve upon himself. Competence will be a make it or break it for some people in the world but its ultimately up to the individual if they follow through.


Key 3: Concentration 
"Make the best use use of your time. Ask yourself"Is this best use of my time?" before you start anything."

This statement is true as it gets. I myself do have this concept handle pretty well for the reason because I know what is good for my time. Other times I do not know how to use my time wisely like other people that have their life in a better pace than me. Concentration is key to what you will do in life. If you lose concentration of what you are doing most likely you are going to do horrible and make yourself look downright stupid. Focus your time into what you are doing and everyday try to get better at it. Just like killua for hunter x hunter he trained since he was a baby boy to become the next head of the zoldyck family. He was left alone ton train in the tower of heaven. Over 200 floors to make through, with each floor having stronger opponents. Doing this require concentration as it took two years to make it through the two floors but in the end he came out stronger than before. This is Concentration!

Key 5: 
"Expect the fact that every human being is a genius. The hall mark of creativity is asking questions. The people who are most creative ask the most questions."

Everyone is a genius, almost everyone is average, almost everyone do not ask those questions. To attain knowledge you must first ask those that came before you. To be creative learn from the past and incorporate new ideas with it. Learn things that many people do not know about or talk a language that is really outdated. Be those few that will stand out in the crowd. Information is worth so much people do not notice it. Information can lead one to another if mislead. It can also help people solve a problem, case, or mystery. Attaining all of this one must ask himself first what do I want to know and study upon about. Every answer leads to another question and every question leads to a answer. One that does well and has very good insight is no other than Nico Robin. Her vast knowledge of reading ancient texts and asking questions shows her creativity and how one can grow.




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 on new word a day, within 5 years, you'll be the best educated person in history."

Having consideration is always important no matter what you think. It will come back to you in the end as good karma because you a thought about them. People have to understand when you are considerate to others it they will do the same. One good example of this is Monkey D. Luffy of the Straw Hat Pirates. He always puts himself last when it comes to his friends or crewmates. He knows what it takes to be considerate first hand. He went as far as to oppose the world government just to save back a friend. He is one of few that have a heart surprisingly as a Pirate Captain. Gon is another person that puts his life on the line and wants to show his pride and determination. He want as to put a pact and restriction on himself to save a friend.



Key 7: Consistency 
"Dependable, steady predictable work is always superior to fast spurts of work."

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

Consistency is no rare to find id that person has a schedule and can work that schedule with others to be on top. That individual knows what needs to be done and stays true to his/her word. In today 21 century standards people do not have that. Some say they will do this but if there is a benefit to them or in some cases to make you look bad. What people call them in today's standards are "snakes". These people will find a way to back stab you, hurt you, and destroy you. Even with all these snakes roaming around there are some that still stay consistent. Roronoa Zoro is been like that since day one joining the straw hat pirates. He is the living definition of consistency. Always being there to help, learning new techniques, and non stop training. 

Key 8: Commitment 
"No success is possible without commitment. The ability to commit yourself whole heartily is the basis of achieving all success.
"Become totally absorbed in your work. Be totally committed."

Commitment is said to be easy by many but in return they do not stay true to their word and end up leaving.They want feel great and show what a leading figure can do for others that stay commitmented. Everyone loves the feeling of people being looked up to and recognize as a amazing person. Those people that stay are day 1 people because they were their the good times and the bad times. They learn something new to improve themselves and pass the knowledge on. A good example of this is when Gon was determine to defeat his opponent that killed his friend. He trained and work hard to defeat pitou one of the royal guards. He went as far as putting a restriction and covenant to attain unimaginable power. He was committed to his word and stay true to his word and defeat Pitou.    
  


Key 9: Courage 
"The fear of failure is the single greatest reason for failure in life."

Everyone is afraid of failure at some point in there life and can't help it to always do there best. No one loves or likes to fail but there is a lot to learn from failing than from being always succeeding. Just Gon he does not like to disappoint and he continues to search for his father. His determination to keep getting stronger while not failing at it is something, Even know when he needs to keep winning he knows when to call it quits to learn more from that loss and and try it again. He doesn't have the fear to lose but has the idea how important a failure can be. This is what gives him his fearless attitude and tenacity. This is why he is so successful overcoming every challenge that has been thrown to him.
   

Key 10: Confidence
"You only get confidence by doing things over and over again."

This statement cannot get any truer than it is already. The confidence here is the truth by doing something over and over again. In life when you do something for the first time you get anxious and do not know what to or it comes natural to you. In any case 90% of the time people will not have the confidence to do something for the first time. It takes time and practice to get over the cloud inside the head deprives the confidence of someone. A man by the name Hisoka has this confidence and executes this perfectly. His whole  life he thinks that he is indeed the strongest and can take anyone down. Shown on how he let a competitor kastro  live for him to fight again after the 2 year defeat. He beats kastro with psychological means and his strength. He said I let my opponents live to reach their potential and kill them to get the best satisfaction from it. Hisoka is made purely of confidence that gives him the edge in everything.

  



Reflection

What the ten keys of personal power did is that it help me through achieve some new standards that I have incorporated to myself. One key that I have incorporated recently is confidence and courage. I would not usually have any of these traits to begin with. These traits has made me a better person from doing things that I wouldn't do even if my life or someones else life depended on it. I got to have that determination to keep going forward since time waits for no one. I will strive to become more commitment since I usually lose interest in these type activities pretty fast.  Just like Hisoka, Gon, and Killua I strive to be like them or achieve better.
