Recommended: What is the importance of setting realistic goals

Psycho cybernetics 2000

Psycho cybernetics is one of the best motivating novels I have read to this day. It is somewhat repetitive, but the author really does get his point across. There are many examples that show the different areas of self confidence and believing in yourself. There are examples that show how others opinions about you can affect your opinion about yourself, both in the positive and negative aspect. If someone has been belittling your knowledge and potential since you were growing up, it is almost impossible not to rub off on you in some way somewhere in your life.

I liked how the book progressed from chapter to chapter. My favorite part of the book was the goal setting and goal achieving chapters. I have seen many books with ways to set difficult, but achievable goals. I have never read a book that will actually help you in “Goal-Getting” until I was assigned this one.

The six-step process that will help maximize your progress of your goals really helped me out. I felt like this was the most important part of the book to me because I could relate every step to what I do on the football field to try to better myself. Step 1 is to focus on your action plan daily. If I take a few plays off here and there, I won’t be reaching my maximum potential, and I won’t be getting better as much as I should. Step 2 is to set up a self-monitoring system. For this step, I always ask myself after practice if I gave it everything I had. I know if I did or not. If I didn’t give it my all every play I know that I feel guilty. Step 3 is to make a contract with friends and co-workers. Although I have never actually signed a sheet of paper with another person or specifically set up an oral contract and shook on it, I have been committed to my teammates that not just me but we all will give it our all. This is one of the biggest motivators in helping you achieve your goals. If you share a commitment with another person, you don’t want to let that person down. There have been many days during the season where I was tired and really didn’t want to go to practice, but I knew I couldn’t let my teammates down.

    To me, the challenging part of the book was reading a book on a topic that I do not know much about. I am starting to become familiar with the legal system, however I am nowhere near that of a lawyer. This is why I stumbled at times on some of the legal lingo that the book contained. In addition to that, I did find myself with a better understanding of our legal system. I felt like I was along for the ride on the whole legal process. Also, I would like to note that I thoroughly enjoyed the chapter on the autopsy because I thought it was very interesting how they performed those procedures in that time period. I loved the detail that the author went into when describing how it all took place.

    Once I get past all of the rambling I did in the past paragraphs, I honestly really enjoyed the book. Though it wasn't like most of the other books I’ve read (meaning I didn't cry during the process of reading it), the characters were just as provokingly interesting as the characters in other stories, it was a little edgy and made me want to yell at it, shouting at Sam when she wouldn’t let Tyler play video games with Danny, or Danny when he called to have Sam and Tyler taken to a separate facility. Overall, this book opened me up to something that just isn't a romance novel. This story really shows that there are people with a lot of difficulties in their lives, and that’s what I liked the most about it.

    I really enjoyed reading this book. It truly gives you a lot to think about. I'm only in high school which doesn't give me much opportunity right now of getting a good job, even though I'm going to be in need of one since I'm having a baby. This book made me see that I better have a good education to get a good job or I'm not going to be able to take care of myself and a baby.

    I think my favorite thing about this novel was the realistic ending. Some books try to just give you a fairy tale but this book had an ending that mad you think in the end if I was in the same position would I do the same thing. I didn’t like the fact that the novel portrayed mental illness in a way to say that it needed to be hidden and protected. I thought this novel was very believable for the time period that it was set in. I think the ending to this novel was perfect it was an accurate ending to this

  • Athletic Training Personal Statement

    Both on an off the field, my enthusiasm and motivation to obtain a goal is a trait that I am very proud of. I have faced many tasks where a leader had needed to step up and I am always willing to do so. I am also willing to get help when I need it. If I can’t complete a task by myself I do not mind asking a classmate, teammate, friend or a teacher for guidance. By bringing that openness and leadership to University of Charleston’s Athletic Training Program I believe that I can also attribute to the University of Charleston’s Mission Statement “to educate each student for a life of productive work, enlightened living, and community involvement.” By bettering the Athletic Training community by providing care to our Athletes I believe that I will be a great addition to the Athletic Training

    However, along with the team element, we must remember one notion. Live life for you. Expect more out of yourself. Expect to reach the finish line, expect to finish first and expect to finish in one piece. Don't live your life striving to fulfill the expectations of your parents, your professors or your bosses. Live up to your own. Raise your expectations. Exceed them. Reach your potential.

    This book is a very interesting read, if you have some self discipline. I mean that you need some self discipline because this book didn’t really captivate me in the sense that I couldn’t put it down. But after reading it for a while, I started to appreciate the author’s way of describing the characters and actions in this book.

    My opinion on the book is that in the beginning it starts off slow and confusing, but near the middle it started to unwind, but part two was my favorite part of the book . I enjoy reading books about crisis because they lock my eyes on, the book and make me want to finish the book. I think the book was enjoyable, and I would certainly read it again.

    Some may consider this book bias, but I consider this book to be a true well written story of a woman who struggled and who never gave up. A story that actually used her diary entry that was implemented into the chapters. The author gave the reader the opportunity to see how hard her life was and how she withstood all that came at her, in a way this book an inspiration not only for women but rather to all of us.
