The 10 Keys to Personal Power 

Brian Tracy 

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 ."

• reflection :what this saying is that one of the 10 keys to personal power is to have your goals clear  .if you dont know your goal how will you know have to reach them .make sure your goal is clear in everything .know what you are going to do in order to get where need to .its hard to reach something when you dont know what you are reaching for.

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

•  reflection:what this quote is saying that you have to commit or keep your word to what you are doing .you need to work hard even if you feel like giving up .you have to try going until you reach your goal or reach what you had said you were going to do .you can do great thing if you dont give up .never say you cant do something cause you can if you keep going and commit to your goals .

key 3:concentration
"Make the best use of your time.Ask yourself "is this the best use of my time?"before you start anything."

• reflection:what this quote is saying is that we should have better time management because that way you can do and complete the things you have to do .what this means is that we sometimes dont do the things that are not  really things you have to do like video games and tv. sometimes we do these before homework and other things we have to do . And that later makes us feel tense because you are falling in homework or your not ready for a test cause you didn't study because of video games all night .thats why be concentrated on what is important first .

key 4 :common sense
"Train your mind
think thing through
listen to your intuition
learn from setbacks "

• reflection:what this quote is saying that if you feel it in you gut then maybe you should listen to . if your mind it telling not to trust a person maybe you shouldn't .Don't you think you get that feeling for a reason . you need to learn to trust your intuition what this is like your gut feeling  listen to it . and if you fail to listen to it that learn from it .you mind will tell you what to do and what not to do  but in the end you .so next time choose better than the time before .

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 ."

• reflection: what this quote is saying is that we are all smart .but even if we are all smart the people who ask questions ,and that aren't shy to ask for help are that once who are creative .we can all be creative if we asked questions .ask to learn more and better.we all want to be better but you cant if you dont ask to learn .we are able to color to draw to dance everything but you cant if you dont ask to learn .

 
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 ."
reflection:what this quote is saying is that we should have consideration  with people overall and your relationships listen to the people that are with you .you need to know what they need what they want.just like they listen and talk about what you want .sometime your so into yourself that you forget to listen .you need to be considerate to the people that love you and care for you .so listen to them next time ,and if they dont  then help them talk because that means they have something to say but cant really say it or dont know how to say it .
 
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.."
reflection:what this quote is saying is that we have be dependable if you say im going to do this that do it .the people around you want someone who they can relay on .the people around you want you to stick it your word because if you dont you not dependable .Being consistent is important to have a good relationship with the people around you .some people say many thing and dont do them making them just talkers .which we dont need talkers but consistent people.
 
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."
reflection:what this quote is saying is that if you dont commit to anything you cant have success .lets say you want to be healthy  and you try to eat healthy for month and you only do it for a day than you dont do it no more  . and you fail because you didnt commit to it  . you need to learn to come it to things .because in life you need to commit to a job and a college etc. it a thing in life that you have to use cause committing to a baby and telling that baby you are there for it  isnt something you can leave or stop doing .

key 9:courage 
"The fear of failure is the single greatest reason for failure in life ."
reflection:what this quote is saying is that  if you let fear control you  you will fail . That why you should have courage  and have no fear . fear is the thing that you shouldn't fear  cause it can hurt you . Have courage in life because having courage will help you go far . if you fear something try going for it because it may be the thing hold thing you back from success.so have courage to do the things that you fear . i know it is easy to say then done but it for your own good as my mom says .courage is the start  in everything like walking when you were a baby .but you did it and you didn't let the fear of fall stop you . if fear didn't stop you when you where a baby you should let it stop you now that you are grown .

key 10 :confidence
"you only get confidence by doing things over and over again ."
reflection: what this quote is trying to tell us is that you got to have confidence to have success in life .i order to have confidence you need to do the thing over and over . if you dont how are you going to have confidence . you build up confidence you dont are ready have it. let say you need to talk to a person that you dont talk to . and you dont have confidence to talk to them cause you mostly dont talk to other people outside your circle . then you that tell you that you should do that more often so next time you talk to someone outside your circle you can do it with confidence .having confidence takes time  but if you set your mind to it you can do it .
