Pyramid of Success
John Wooden
The 25 Building Blocks of the
Pyramid of Success
Block 1: Industriousness
"In pain and simple English this means hard work. Very hard work. There is no substitute for very hard work when it comes to success."
I don't think that we will need this for fucking computer science we don't do anything that involves that all we do is type about old ass people we don't care about. This is my least favorite class I thought I wold actually learn something and we don't it is very boring and frustrating. So I would never choose this class again it is all bullshit.
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."
Enthusiasm is great and all but I don't think that I will always use it because I am a very strong person inside and I can do things on my own and don't need to ask trump. I will always remember when Enthusiasm is needed but I will not always use it.
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 don't care about marriage because I am not at the right age to be thinking about that and I don't give a fuck about it. This thing is not computer science, computer science actually is something way different from the shit we learn in this class. This is my least favorite class and I will never choose this class again because it sucks really badly. I turducken hate this class this shit sucks ass all we do is do turducken quotes and we don't learn about anything else. 
Block 4: Loyalty
"To yourself and to all those depending upon you. Keep your self-respect."
I think i can not use this in my daily life this is way to boring for me to even do.
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."
I do not care about this shit anymore because it is the most boring thing in the world and I hate it.
Block 6: Ambition
"For Noble Goals."
My ambition, my goals are to attend a great university and have a great job that I like. and have a great family that I love and have 5 children I would also like to have my dream house and own it and live off as and old man who is loved by my children. I would really like to accomplish my goals.
Block 7: Self-Control
"Practice self-discipline and keep emotions under control. Good judgement and common sense are essential."
This is very true but I do not want to keep learning about this because I do not think that this is very educational for me. I would actually like to learn about real computer science. although this class is nice I would actually like to learn something from the teacher not the internet. If you have self-control you are a person who cares about others.
Block 8: Alertness
"Be observing constantly. Stay open-minded. Be eager to learn and improve."
I always use this Learning block if I ever want to learn something that I will actually use in the near future. But I really hate doing things that I am not used to doing like not learning about Computer Science and things that are not related to it. When you are alert you will know what is happening around you and what is going on or if something goes wrong. But if you are not alert you will not know what is happening.
Block 9: Imitative
"Cultivate the ability to make decisions and think alone. Do not be afraid of failure, but learn from it."
This can be used if you are a who follows any rule that is given to them. I would personally not use this because I don't like to be told what to do.
Block 10: Intentness
"Set a realistic goal. Concentrate on its achievement by resting all temptations. Be determined and persistent."
This is a great thing to use because if you try your best on what you are determined to do you will succeed and accomplish what you want to do.
Block 11: Sincerity
"Keeps Friends"
This can be used for when you are unable to do what you want and you can't choose so you ask a friend on what there opinion is on that. And, they should give you there honest opinion. This is would be very good and bad example because friends are friends. I really hate this class because we don't learn anything about computer science.
Block 12: Adaptability
To any situation
I can do this until I found out that mr haymore does not read the blogs i dont understand why he makes us do this if we can literally do this at home when ever we want. If there were a law that would say this I would not like to follow it because why would I follow a law that is very stupid in particular. Fuck this class it really sucks dick and I hate this class.
Block 13: Condition
"Mental-Moral-Physical. Rest, exercise and diet must be considered. Moderation must be practiced. Dissipation must be eliminated."
This is very true but I will do it my way with my friend because we go to the park Monday through Thursday sometimes Friday but that's kind of our day off. But it is better if you do it your own way because you will think that you are being controlled by someone else and you might not like it in any way. And the only reason that I am typing this is so it looks like that I am doing my own work and not dasing off. But I do it because if I don't my grade will drop very quickly even though this isn't even computer science this is some other bull shit that I can do all on my own. Basically the teacher is getting paid to do nothing the whole time and this really sucks ass. I don't like it but it is something that I have to do or else I have to get a really bad grade and I rally don't wan't that.
Block 14: Skill
"A knowledge of and the ability to properly and quickly execute the fundamentals. Be prepared and cover every little detail."
I do not give a fuck about this class because I got a tardy just because I was a couple seconds late and I do not like that at all. I am going to tell my mom on how I maybe got away with it because it is not fare at all and I was mad when he gave it to all three of us except that one girl that walked in really late even though their should be no excuse. She said she had P.E but so did Jose Lopez and he still got a tardy.
Block 15: Team Spirit
"A genuine consideration for others. An eagerness to sacrifice personal interest of glory for the welfare of all."
This can be used if you are the type of person that is liked to be tolled what to do. Like me I don't really like to be tolled anything that I do not what to do if I am not related to that person. All thjough team work should be in certain things not all you could always use a little of team work and you will get through what you need or wan't. What you want is something that people can help you with and you will always know what to do if you have help or know how to do it.
Block 16: Honesty
In thought and action
I think this is very dumb because if you are honest all the time you will most likely get fired out of every job you get. But if you are honest in some occasions you are able to complete what you need on time. Some times you have to hide the truth for a friend when there is a surprise involved that's why you should not always be honest because you can ruin things with honesty sometimes. This class is very boring because we are doing nothing but things that aren't computer science.
Block 17: Resourcefulness
Proper Judgement
This can be used when you are judging someone and you are unable to know what they are not doing but I would not use them if anything. this I can ever use because I think that it is worthless. So I choose not to and I follow on what I think is best for me.
Block 18: Poise
"Just being yourself. Being at ease in any situation."
Graceful and elegant bearing in a person.
I would not use this because it does not work at all. I prefer to use what I can do for my self because these things were said by someone else and I would like to learn it on my own. If you wan't to be yourself then go for it because if you don't you will be taking orders from anyone all the time and if you take risk you will know how it feels to risk things and you will learn from your mistakes.
Block 19: Confidence
"Respect without fear. May come from being prepared and keeping all things in proper perspective."
This is something that I already do on my ow and I am quite comfortable to do it because I can do this without even following these things. This can see other people on how they are treated.
Block 20: Reliability
Creates respect
do not care about this stuff this is why I chose a different class to take next year.
Block 21: Fight
Determined effort
This is what I think about the word fight. This word fight is like to cause a fight or defend yourself from a fight. I think that a fight doesn't always mean fist to fist it can be anything in particular like texting is one of them, talking back to someone, and another is like sharing things with other friends and that friend tells that other guy and can cause a real fight that you did not want in the first place.
Fist Fight the movie was incredible really awesome
Shark Tank is really awesome although I have never seen it
Lady beating up a guy is really FUNNY I would like to see that I would enjoy that fight.
Tiger Fights are really fun to watch because to them is just a game and to us is a battle against them
Block 22: Competitive Greatness
"BE at your best when your best is needed. Enjoyment of a difficult challenge."
This can be very true but can also be very wrong that is the only reason why I am writing this because I don't know what to talk about this and I do not wan't to because this is very boring.
Finish what you have started
Find what you are looking for
Block 23: Integrity
Purity of intention
I can do I can I can I do not know what to write so I am just doing this. Stories are always made with pictures so get a picture and create your own story and end it the way you want to.
Your Words
Block 24: Faith
Believe and Achieve
I think that faith is something that is used a lot and I can out it in where I am trying to do something important. Like when you wan't to do something and you say no something is going to go wrong that is when you need to have faith in your self and do it.
Block 25: Patience
Good things take time
Patience is something that apply's to everything you do no matter what. Like if you say you want to work and make a lot of money that will take time or say you will be this one day that will take time. Patience is something that you can not force to happen quickly unless you have a time machine that ca take you to the future very quickly. Another example is that if you are struggling in something that even you know is going to take time this shows hat you need patience to complete it. One things is that if you like to get things you wan't you will need to understand that it all takes time.
The building blocks can benefit me by helping me in daily life situations. the blocks that I am applying now is patience because I cannot wait to go home. They change the way I act and feel at the same time. Because I will think about them them when I am waiting for something or want to do something that is not worth doing. I will pass it on by telling them to go on my blogger and read what I have done the past year. This is how I will treat the Pyramid of Success and spread the word my way. This way everything I do will be because of how I thought about the Pyramid of Success.
