If you dont think ahead you can be too late when you wanna change doing something or becoming you dont want to be. You must have your goals printed in your head and heart to really become what you want to be. Your goals must be specific because if they're not you're not gonna know what you really want in life. You're gonna life life without having Clarity. You must get to know them now or you have a chance of working for someone else who does have a specific goal and does big things.

A lot of those people are very creative. The way you can see or it shows that someone is very creative is that they ask a lot of questions. Its very good to ask questions to something you aren't really sure about. It can even be questions about conspiracy, theories or even about the government. Questions can lead into more questions and people thinking more and opening their mind.

Key 6: Consideration

"The quality of your relationships with other people will determine your success in life."

"Develop the people skills you need to become a better communicator. Take courses in listening, speaking, etc."

"If you were to learn one new word a day, within 5 years, you'll  be the the best educated person in history."
reflection:This quote means you should get to know other people and communicate effectively with them. With that a mind even have a good relationship with them because they might be people who have power and give you success. That's why listening and speaking is a very important factor when it comes to relationships. When your learning and getting yourself educated sometimes it just might be the same the thing. Everyday you have a new opportunity to learn something new. If you get to learn and understand a new word everyday your knowledge will grow and make you educated. Its always good to learn something new and it's okay if you dont understand it the first time or can't memorize it. Have good relationships with people and communicate effectively and educated yourself.     

Key 7: Consistency
