Zig Ziglar

a Wings peer mentor means that I get to take my knowledge I have learned while at Arrowhead and share it with the people who need it the most. One of the very first things I would share with them is one my my favorite quotes of all time, said by Zig Ziglar: “You can’t climb uphill by thinking downhill thoughts”. I would like to say that I have lived by this saying everyday in my life. All around me I hear degrading things being said about other people and it makes me realize that some days, high school

My mom sends me inspirational quotes when I am faced with a challenge in my life. In high school I faced a challenge that I thought would mark the end of my career in FFA, or Future Farmers of America. It was officer election time in my FFA chapter for my senior year and there was a lot being thrown my way. Losing the people who I thought were my best friends was the main problem I faced after the election. I was the new chapter president and I was afraid of what was going to happen with my friendships

In this week’s reading, Anna Harrington uses a quote from Victor Frankel: “The last of human freedoms… is the ability to choose one’s attitude in a given set of circumstances. What a great way of restating, “Your response is your responsibility.” (Eggerichs, 2014). She communicates some ideas about resiliency she calls elements: emotional, spiritual, social, family, and physical. (Harrington, 2012). Harrington discusses a different perspective on other terms used before and some enlighten perceptions

Highest Potential As a junior in high school, I have recently become interested in psychology. While studying psychology/sociology this previous year, I have become drawn to the topic of human potential. After gathering what I have learned, it turns out most people want to live their life to the fullest by becoming all they can be. To reach this fulfillment of a higher/better self is known as self-actualization. A major problem for many people today is reaching their full potential, although the

Debra Chinnapongse discussed the cost of the annual awards luncheon. That will honor outstanding employees. The Luncheon ticket price will not cover all the expenses. The expenses include the following: awards, leis, lunches for the judges, VIP guests, and volunteers. The Honolulu-Pacific Federal Interagency Board can’t continue to make up the difference between income from tickets, and costs for the luncheon. Ms. Chinnapongse reported that other Interagency Boards relied on members’ contributions

These past days, I’ve been dealing with a “friend” who meant so much to me, but “did me wrong” as people would say. I would always put him first before anyone else, because he was somehow different than the others. Like Atticus once said in “To Kill A Mockingbird,” “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his the point of view-until you climb into his skin and walk around in it. I never really understood why he did such things to hurt me and I know he didn't

It will take many processes and life changes to become a self-actualizing individual, but I believe that people, including myself are capable of achieving this gratification. Just like Zig Ziglar affirmed, “Man was designed for accomplishment, engineered for success, and endowed with the seeds of greatness” (Ziglar 4). In the following

favorite authors including Zig Ziglar and Grant Cardone identify themselves as introverts although they come across as strong extraverts. Mr. Ziglar said something that made me want to get into sales. He said that introverts make better salespeople because they can relate to the customer better, research what the customer wants, and adopt characteristics that an extravert has. On my spare time I read books like “Sell or be sold” by Grant Cardone, “See you at the top” by Zig Ziglar, “Live your dreams” by

important goals come from life-long struggle and perseverance ending with ultimate triumph. Zig Ziglar reveals, “What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.” I chose this quote because it made me realize I have overlooked who I have become in pursuit of my goals. I have learned to value the process to truly become a better person from reaching my goals. As Ziglar explains, the person one becomes while in pursuit of a goal is where one truly succeeds

The past couple of months I have devoted so much of my time asking everyone what is wrong, how do we fix it, how long has this been happening, that I completely lost sight of recognizing how great St. Peter’s is and all of the great things that are going on. Over the past couple of months we have had a Robotics Team surpass their expectations; Science Olympiad teams do the same both of them being led by outstanding teachers and parents. Basketball teams that excelled against both public and private
