THE TEN STEPS OF HOW I CAN BE SUCCESSFUL

Respect   Responsibility   Readiness

BE HERE. Successful people go to work regularly. They tend to work longer hours than less successful people. Remember, right now going to school is your work.

BE ON TIME. People who are successful get to where they are going on time. Others count on them to be where they say they are going to be when they say they are going to be there.

BE FRIENDLY. No violence. Successful people become successful because they help each other and not because they hurt each other. Successful people build or create. Unsuccessful people destroy by doing physical or spoken violence. To be friendly is to accept the differences of others.

BE POLITE. Be courteous. Successful people are polite people. They know that other people help them to be successful so they treat others with respect. They listen when others are talking. They wait their turn. They consider the feelings of others. They wait to be called upon in class.  

BE PREPARED. Bring your tools and supplies to class. Successful people take good care of their equipment and they have the equipment they need when they go to work.

BE A LISTENER. Successful people listen to instructions and follow directions. By listening successful people hear what others need so they can cooperate for success.

BE A DOER. Do your work the best you can. Successful people are doers. They know the more they do the more they will know how to do. Good baseball players become good baseball players because they play a whole lot of baseball.

BE A TOUGH WORKER. Keep trying. Successful people keep working even when things get difficult. When the going gets tough the tough get going. Tough times never last but successful people do.

BE A RISK TAKER. Show courage. Stick your neck out. Ask questions. Successful people are willing to run the risk of failure because they know that sooner or later they will make it if they keep trying.

BE A SUCCESS. Successful people are achievers. They complete their projects, turn them in on time, and feel good when they have finished their work.
