Pyramid of success

25 blocks

Block 1: Industriousness 

"There is no substitute for work. Worthwhile results come from hard work and careful planning."

This block from the pyramid of success is a good block because it says that you gotta work hard and keep doing well because its worth the results. An example is when you do all your homework and classwork the results will be good like a good score and a good grade.

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."

Block 2 is talking about how you can use it to help you get through things that block you from your goal or success. I like this block because enthusiasm is a great thing that we can use in our life. Enthusiasm is when you have an interest in something like a job that you like or just something that interests you.

Block 3: Friendship 
"Comes from mutual esteem, respect and devotion. Like marriage it must not be taken for granted but requires a joint effort."

Block 3 is by far the best block because it talks about friendship and as the picture above shows that life is better with friends. An example why friendship is great is because with friends you can go and mess around and go play soccer.

Block 4: Loyalty
"To yourself and to all those depending upon you. Keep your self-respect."

Block 4 is saying that you need to be loyal and an example is lets say you let your friend hold your phone and your only doing that because you know that they are loyal. This shows that they have your loyalty.

Block 5: Cooperation

"With all levels of your co-workers. Listen if you want to be heard. Be interested in finding the best way, not in having your own way. "

Block 5 is a great block because this talks about having to cooperate with people and to accomplish things together. I think this is important because it can help you and the other people because you will know them and have them whenever you need them or if you have a problem you can just cooperate. This also tells me that you can cooperation is helpful in difficult times.

Block 6: Ambition  (For noble goals)

Block 6 is a great block because it talks about having ambition and what that means is that a strong desire to do or to achieve something, typically requiring determination and hard work.

Block 7: self control

"Practice self-discipline and keep emotions under control. Good judgement and common sense are essential."

Block 7 is another block that is great for the pyramid because it talks about self control and to know how to react if there is a problem. This shows having balance, calmness, determination, confidence, and willpower as shown in the picture above.

Block 8: Alertness 

"Be observing constantly. Stay open-minded. Be eager to learn and improve."

Block 8 is a great block because it talks about Alertness which means you must be very observant constantly. This means looking out for anything happening around you. Alertness can keep you safe if anything bad is happening and you are alert of it.

Block 9: Initiative

"Cultivate the ability to make decisions and think alone. Do not be afraid of failure, but learn from it."

Block 9 is a great block because its saying how you should be Initiative which means to be by yourself and make your own choices and to not be afraid if you fail. I feel like this is a great.

Block 12 is showing the word Adaptability which means to be able to change or be changed like in the image shown above.

Poise is a great block because what you truly are and show your true colors not just because you act some way you shouldnt act different with other people just be your self. That is what poise means in my own words.
