Pyramid of Success
John Wooden
The 25 Building Blocks of the
Pyramid of Success
Block 1:
Industriousness
"In plain and simple English this means hard work. Very
hard work. There is no substitute for very hard work when it comes to
success."
This block is the first one and the most important because if you work hard for what you want it will have the results you wanted. Working hard you success in life.
When you do something with no enthusiasm you are not really doing it because you want to do it. To be successful you need enthusiasm because that is what push you to complete your goals. Do everything with enthusiasm and it will make you feel better.

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."
When you do something with no enthusiasm you are not really doing it because you want to do it. To be successful you need enthusiasm because that is what push you to complete your goals. Do everything with enthusiasm and it will make you feel better.
Block 3: Friendship
"Comes from mutual esteem, respect and devotion. Like
marriage it must not be taken for granted but requires a joint effort."
I believe there are various kinds and degrees of Friendship
based on a wide range of appreciations. We may have an acquaintance with whom
we are friendly because of a shared interest in politics or sports; another
whose humor we enjoy, some may be golfing, bowling, or fishing buddies; perhaps
we have an old friend from high school whom we haven't seen in 20 years. All
are friends in different and good ways - but not in the way I mean Friendship.
Block 4: Loyalty
"To yourself and to all those depending upon you. keep your self-respect."
Block 4: Loyalty
"To yourself and to all those depending upon you. keep your self-respect."
Strive to be reliable and dependable. Keep your word by
doing what you say you will do. When you have Loyalty others will be loyal to
you. It means giving respect to those you work with. Respect helps produce
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 on having your own way."
Block 7: Self-Control
"Practice self-discipline and keep emotions under control. Good judgment and common sense are essential."
Block 9: Initiative
"Cultivate the ability to make decisions and think alone. Do not be afraid of failure, but learn from it."
Proper judgment
When you accuse someone of something they did wrong or you have to make sure that was the person who really did it. If you accuse someone you need prof of what your saying. If you are not sure of your goal do not do it but do not says you are doing it because someone told you.
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 on having your own way."
Working together with others requires teamwork. If you wish
to be heard, listen. Cooperation means working together in all ways to
accomplish the common goal. It also allows people to move forward together
instead of going off in different directions. To work as a team and come up with a conclusion and work together.
Block 6: Ambition
For noble goals
The desire to achieve something, or to succeed, accompanied with motivation, determination and an internal drive.Ambition describes those that achieve success based on their inner desire to do so and their belief in themselves.
Block 7: Self-Control
"Practice self-discipline and keep emotions under control. Good judgment and common sense are essential."
Discipline yourself so others don’t have to do it for you!
Be in control of how you behave. Good judgment requires Self-Control of your
feelings. Bad judgment comes from poor Self-Control. How can you perform at
your best when you are using bad judgment.
Block 8: Alertness
"Be observing constantly. Stay open-minded. Be eager to learn and improve."
Pay attention to everything that is going on around you all
the time. Listen with your ears and your eyes. Listen with your nose! Your
hands. Don’t fall asleep on the job. Always be ‘listening and learning’ and
you’ll be heading to success.
"Cultivate the ability to make decisions and think alone. Do not be afraid of failure, but learn from it."
An individual's action that begins a process, often done
without direct managerial influence. Take initiative on what you want to do. If you never take the initiative others will you'll never success. You need to make your fist little step to something big and successful.
Block 10: Intentness
"Set a realistic goal. Concentrate on its achievement by resting all temptations. Be determined and president."
If you want to be a successful person but you do not have a real goal then you are not going to success. Make yourself realistic goals. Goals like be a doctor, study, be a professional, a good person things like that. Do not make your self goals like to drink all the beers on the bar or to eat a 4x4 burger. If your goal is to be a doctor do not go to party or to drink with your friends if you have a test the next day. Know your goal and dedicate to it.

To be successful you need to be sincere with you to make sure that is what you want and not you are doing that because someone tell you to. You only be successful if you really want it to happen be honest with everyone.

To any situation
When you have a goal you want to be successful on it you need have adaptability. To make your goal a lot of things need to happen bad and good you can't only have good things so you need to be adaptable to any situation. If you have to do somethings you don't know how to do something you need to learn and adapt. Goals need little step to be completed little step that you need do do every day maybe you think those steps are to hard but you have to adapt to them.

You need to rest so the next day you'll have condition to work on it again.
