I encourage my students to live by the "8 Keys of Excellence."
1, INTEGRITY Demonstrate your positive personal values in all you do and say. Be sincere. 2. FAILURE LEADS TO SUCCESS Learn from mistakes. View failures as feedback that provides you with the information you need to learn, grow, and succeed. 3. SPEAK WITH GOOD PURPOSE Speak HONESTLY, and KINDLY. Think before you speak. Make sure your intention is positive and your words are sincere. 4. THIS IS IT! Make the most of every moment. Keep a positive attitude. PMA! (positive mental attitude) 5. COMMITMENT Make your dreams happen. Take positive action. Follow your vision without wavering. Let your YES be your YES, and your NO be your NO! 6. OWNERSHIP Take responsibility for your actions. Be responsible for your thoughts, feelings, words, and actions. “Own” the choices you make and the results that follow. 7. FLEXIBILITY Be willing to do things differently. Recognize what’s not working and be willing to change what you’re doing to achieve your goal. 8. BALANCE Live your best life. Be mindful of yourself and others while focusing on what’s meaningful and important in your life. Inner happiness and fulfillment come when your mind, body, and emotions are nurtured by the choices you make. |
