The Pyramid of Success
Image result for pyramid of success
Block 1: Industriousness
"In plain and simple English this means hard work. Very hard work. There is no substitute fro very hard work when it comes to success."

  Hard work is very important because without it you are not doing something with passion. Hard work means you are putting your all into something and you are not letting anything stop you from succeeding. At a point in a persons life they will come to realize that without hard work you can not really do anything. Have you ever noticed that some of the most successful people are the ones that worked the hardest I am not trying to say all people got to where they are by working hard but some did. They competed and went through some of the hardest times to get to where they are. They never stopped working.

Block 2: Enthusiasm
"It is the engine that powers all blocks of the Pyramid. It is why I chose Industriousness and Enthusiasm as the cornerstones of my Pyramid of Success. It is where everything begins."

  Your heart must be in your work. Enthusiasm not only means hard work but it also means having fun and enjoying what you are doing. Enthusiasm makes industriousness a stronger quality. Enthusiasm means you are empowered and you have a spark in you that makes you never want to stop. I hope that at whatever I prosper to be in the future I have enthusiasm for because without it I will not succeed.

Block 3: Friendship

  "Comes from mutual esteem, respect and devotion. Like marriage it must not be taken for granted but requires a joint effort."

   To make a friend you must be a friend. Friends are your family, teammates, classmates and workmates. They help you succeed and achieve your goals. Friendship is mutual. It is not a one way street. Good friends do good things for each other. Friendship is important because they are what help you get through tough times. But along with having friends you also have to be making sure you choose the right people to trust, because there is people with bad intentions out in the world, you also have to see if they really do care for your well being as well as for your success. Not only do they have to do that for you but you also have to return that and support them in whatever they need. Friends support each other.

Block 5: Cooperation
 To cooperate means to be a part of whats going on.Cooperation is important because it means you are willing to be a productive collaborator, meaning you are willing to work with others to get the job done. Cooperation also brings many good qualities forward about you, it let's you create friendships, it let's people know you are reliable, it shows that you want to succeed to get something done, it shows that you are able to listen to others ideas and you have an open mind about things. Cooperation sometimes may not be easy because of others and how they work but it also let's you go through tough situations and let you figure them out. Some people may find an inner leader in themselves, not a leader who takes control of everything but a leader who lets people know when they have to step up, a leader who has an open mind and let's others ideas come in other than blocking everything out and doing it their own way, that is not cooperation.

Block 6: Ambition 
For noble goals. To have Ambition means to have passion for something. It means to do your absolute best to accomplish your goal. When someone is ambitious they do not stop till they get to what they want or till to where they want to be.Life’s treasures are not typically handed to us, but they do not all require unbelievable amounts of work either. Some things just require a little pursuit and that is where ambition comes in. Some people may say "well I do not need to be ambition I have talent", that is not a good quality to have because even if you are the best player on the team you need to practice or else others will catch up to you.

Block 7: Self - Control
Self control is a main key for successsc


Block 8: Alertness


Block 10: Initiative
"Set a realistic Goal. Concentrate on its achievement by resisting all temptations. Be Determined and Persistent."

Block 13: Condition
"Mental-Moral-Physical. Rest, exercise and diet must be considered. Moderation must be practiced. Dissipation must be eliminated." To set conditions for yourself is very important because you have to set boundaries for yourself and how far you are going to push yourself. In sports it is very important to set boundaries because you know your body best, if you get hurt and know absolutely that you can not play then speak up and say something. As a pitcher I am aware that my arm may be sore after pitching a game, if it is then I  do not throw because I am aware that I may injure my arm and may never get to play softball again because of it. A person must make their conditions aware to other people, in our health class we learned that it is okay to say NO to another person. Set conditions for yourself, the people around you, and how you do your work. Condition is not only for setting limits it is also in what condition is the work you do. The condition you take care of things. Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor, Unsatisfactory, all these say things about you and that way you strive to succeed at something. 

Block 14: Skill
Skills are important, especially when applying for a job or internship. The people who will hire you look at not only look at how much commitment you have but also at your skills and what you can potentially offer to their work. People have different sets of skills personal and transferable. Transferable skills are skills that you have learned in a past place like school or from being a team, these skills may be able to be transferable to the new job you have to do. A personal skill is a skill that comes from you naturally that help you succeed in the job you have to do. Some examples of personal skills are Flexibility which means being able to move your schedule around without any problems, another skill is Motivation this means to be enthusiastic and to have a drive to finish what you are doing other than quitting also motivation can be how much you support the company you are working for, do you believe in what they believe.


Block 15 Team Spirit: "A genuine consideration for others. An eagerness to sacrifice personal interests of glory for the welfare of all."  People work together
effectively to achieve a common target. Every individual must be involved in making the decisions of what to do in a certain project or tasks given. Team members should have listening skills so that they could listen to other member's ideas. Members should be respecting of each other in order to achieve teamwork. Team spirit means to want to work with others and to be willing collaborators and to be very optimistic when working with others.


Block 16 Honesty:  In thought and action. Honesty has to be practiced everyday in everything you do. Honesty is important because it creates peace of mind and promotes relationships of trust. Being an honest can help you as a person in any aspect of your life. Being an honest person can make it easy for you to make friends because other people know they can trust you. Honesty can also make you responsible, you are able to tell the truth of when you have and have not done something. As honest person you know how to tell people the truth when you are trying to help them out because they have done something wrong. Being an Honest person is very good, but sometimes being an honest person can make people not like you. As an honest person you have to know to what extent you can tell the truth and sometimes there are certain ways you have to tell the truth and you have to know them. Because there are times when you cannot tell the truth.

Block 17 Resourcefulness: Proper Judgement. Ability to find and use available resources to achieve goals. Being resourceful means to be able to achieve something with whatever is around you. People tend to use what they have around them to succeed. For example some people have connections after college and they use that to get jobs. That is why it is so good to put forward your best self, so that people may want to get to know you, and the more people you know the better. When putting yourself out there make sure you show them that you are responsible and trustworthy because those are two major qualities a person looks for. Make the most from what you have.


Block 18 Poise: Poise is the way you walk, the way you carry yourself, the thought you’ve put into your personal style. It makes people perceive you in a positive way. It shows people that you are confident in yourself, not cocky but confident. People with poise know how to keep themselves calm when under stress, people with poise are noticed what I mean by this is that they make themselves be known in a positive way when they are in a room full of people. Poise can also mean to have manners one part of poise that many people get noticed for is posture, having good posture can make everything easier, not having good posture is like saying you are carrying all your stress on your back. Lots of ballet dancers are known to have poise. When they are on sage in front of a big audience they have to make the little movements they do look big. They make themselves be known when they are on that stage.

Block 19: Confidence
"Respect without fear. May come from being prepared and keeping all things in proper perspective"
Confidence is very important because without you do not believe in yourself and if you do not believe in yourself then you can not accomplish anything. In softball I have learned that you need to be confident in yourself or else you will not get better, you  have to be positive about yourself and say I know I can do this. A confident sets goals for themselves and they make a list of how to achieve it, they not only set goals for themselves but they also challenge themselves and give them a certain amount of time to achieve some of them.

Block 20: Reliability

Block 21:Fight
Determined Effort. Fight does not necessarily mean to fight but it means to be strong and to be determined. It means to fight through all the way to the finish and not give up. Athletes must have the "fight" in them no matter if they are losing. If you want to reach success you have to fight to get there. You want something so bad that no matter what it takes you will try to succeed. Bruce Lee says " Do not pray for the easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one". To me this means that you must be ready for whatever comes to you in life and be ready to fight through it all.
