The Ten Tips for being More Truthful 

1.Make a commitment to tell the truth.

Make sure to tell the truth. Always be honest. Be committed to not lie to yourself or others. Honesty is always the best. 

2.Tell someone about your commitment.

Tell others your plans of having to always tell the truth. Showing others that you are committed to doing something might inspire them to do the same.

3. Think before you give a dishonest answer, explanation, sarcasm, or reason. 
Make sure to watch what you say. Don't just say dishonest things to others without thinking of how they might feel with your response. 

4. Be careful of when and how you use exaggeration, sarcasm, or irony. 
Do not use sarcasm, exaggeration, or irony to make fun of people. Do not use them to hurt others but instead to motivate them, to make them better. 
5. Be careful not to twist the truth or leave out part of it. 
Make sure to never go around the truth for that makes it a lie. Make sure to say the whole truth and don't leave anything that out that should be said. You can't call it the truth if you don't if you say all of it. 
6. Don't indulge in little white lies. 
Don't get involved in people lies no matter how small they might be. Don't help someone in their lies tell them to be honest instead of lying. 
7. Watch out for silent lies. 
Some people might not tell you the truth because they are hiding something. They do no want to tell you something so you should be on the lookout for when people are not telling you the truth. 
8. When you catch yourself lying, throw your mouth into reverse. 
When you see yourself about to lie remember to tell yourself that lying is bad and say the truth. 

9. Talk to yourself
Make sure that every once in a while you reassure yourself that you are doing the right thing. Although your decisions might not be popular, or the same thing if you talk to yourself and remember that you are doing the right thing you will be truthful. 


10. Treat yourself when you tell the truth.
When you tell the truth you should give yourself a reward. Telling the truth is a difficult task but if you reward yourself you are more likely to tell the truth. Use a motivation to tell the truth more.

"the six Attitudes of high achievers"

John R. Noe 

1.Make No Small Plans

If you want to be a person with an attitude of a high achiever then you must not make small plans. Go big make your ideas as big as you can think. Although the bigger ideas you the harder they will be, the outcome of that big plan will always be better than an outcome of a small plan. Having a harder plan will be more of an achievement that if your were to think of a smaller plan. 

"She turned her can'ts into cans and her dreams into plans"

What I can do to apply this method into my life is to always think bigger in any small ideas that I might get. Instead of only going for B's or C's in school I should be going for A's.

2.Do what they fear
To do things that others fear to do is something amazing.many people fear because they do not know of the outcome.Just thinking about things could put people into a state of fear. It doesn't mean that you have to jump in front of a tiger and fight. Doing things like standing up for yourself or standing up for someone else is something that many people fear.  To act before you have second thoughts is what High Achievers do. What I can do to apply this new attitude is to always think think that I having to yet to lose I should go for it.

-Thinking will not overcome fear but action will.

W. Clement Stone

3.Are willing To prepare

Follow your passion, be prepared to work hard and sacrifice, and, above all, don't let anyone limit your dreams.

Donovan Bailey

Reflection: To be prepared is to have confidence in what you doing. To be positive in your goals and to not quit in your goals.To always know what you're going to do in the future and the present. To never let yourself down. Always be in order to what you want to do. Never be disorganized in your way of life.

4. Are Willing to Risk Failure

In order to become a high achiever one must be able risk not being able to succeed in the first try they do something. No one gets everything on their first go. It takes a couple of tries until you become successful in something. For example you might not do your best in a sport that you have never tried before but that’s ok because the way to become better is to see what you are lacking and improve on it. It is better to try and fail that never have tried at all.

He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.

Muhammad Ali

5. Are teachable

In order to be a high achiever one must always be open minded. They should learn many ways to find the solution to something. You should be able to ask questions on things that you don't know about. you should be able to put aside your ignorance and acknowledge that you might not be right and there is another way to something. 

“Never stop being teachable. If you think you know everything, you will never learn anything.” – Dani Johnson





6. Have Heart 
To have a heart is to care for others before you think about yourself. Help others in their time of need. Show mercy to those you do and do not deserve it. Help everyone individual that needs help. Teach others a positive way of looking at things. Take care of the sick. Give to others what you have and they don't. Take every opinion into consideration. 
"In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart."
-John Bunyan

Being grateful is important because it something you can do even if you are angry, depressed, or jealous. It is always easy to look back at the bad times but you can always look at the good times of your life and appreciate all that has happened to you. Being grateful can change you from being in a negative mood to a positive mood. being grateful for receiving something and showing yourself being grateful can put a smile on others.

2. Be Smart 
Being smart doesn't just mean to know about a lot of things, being smart is also knowing the difference between good things and bad things. Being smart is to not be ignorant of not only school education but also for the real world. 
A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them.

John C. Maxwell

3. Be involved in good works 
 Doing well for something is always the way to go. This shows how involved you are. By demonstrating this it shows that you are a careful person. It also shows that you believe in good works. Doing good works do not always have to be hard work. It can be simply as working with cities community. Be involved will help out in the future.

4. Be Clean
Cleanliness is both the abstract state of being clean and free from dirt and the process of achieving and maintaining that that state. It could also mean that you should stay on the right path or "the clean path". You should stay away from people that are bad influences so they cant dirty you. Staying away from drugs is a way of staying clean. 
Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world.

George Bernard Shaw

5.be true
Being true is always telling the truth to others. To be true is also being honest with yourself and not tell lies that makes you see things that you want to see. To be yourself and not hate yourself. To have an open mind about good things. 
Be true to the game, because the game will be true to you. If you try to shortcut the game, then the game will shortcut you. If you put forth the effort, good things will be bestowed upon you. That's truly about the game, and in some ways that's about life too.

Michael Jordan

6. Be positive
To be positive one must always think of the best outcomes in the worst situations. But it doesn't just mean to ignore the negative things in life but to approach something that is unpleasant with a positive attitude. You must think that the best will happen not the worst. One of the first steps to being positive is to always figure out what is the problem and find an easy solution to it. One should practice their gratitude on any thing, whether it being employed or having a roof to live under one should always be thankful. A way I could apply this to myself would be to have a better life. 
The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great in whatever they want to do.

Kobe Bryant

7. Be Humble 
To be humble one must not be to prideful or marked by meekness or modesty. You must know your own limits and avoid people that you know you push you away from being humble. Being humble is also being positive. Always be thankful for what you have and never be greedy towards the things that you don't have. Don't bloat about what you have or have done. be gracious in defeat. An example would be if you win a rival game, don't go screaming saying you are the best but be humble that you won the game and hope to win the next one instead. 
 Success is not a good teacher, failure makes you humble.

Shah Rukh Khan

8. Be still
