talk about a formula for success and finally want to talk about this concept called space for now i have an issue for objective here that's a challenge for you i don't have enough here but i want you to try to figure out what it is that i'm so you add fourteen to the sixteen that we so we have thirty right what if i told you there were six what if i told you that you can look at those black lines and you can form a square but what if you looked at the white the white scout meeting and what if i call if i called mr roger and i said hey mr usher i can't find you can you help me what do you think the first question he's going to ask where my if you don't know where you are you could never see somebody never help you proceed to the next point pretty obvious so this is where we all are everybody have all these competing demands of her life and each one of those how do you take that and we're talking about cheating peak performance how do you take everything that's going on in your life and get to the next question well the next question is where am i going now with the sort of alice in wonderland there's there's a part of the story where she's walking down the road there's a fork in the road and at that fork in the road is this cheshire cat and she looks up a tad and she says oh there are two roads here which one do i take and the many people do that you actually have a goal you have a target in mind and that target is your eagle scout project so you're going to focus on that project and that gives you the ability to do boundaries now imagine that a baseball game and home plate is where everything's going to fall on to throw the ball in the outfield whatever those are the boundaries so if you stay within the boundaries you can play your game to the best part you can do also now i want you to think about how many hours are we hundred sixty eight hours so where do you spend that time and if you break if you think about there are a bunch of different areas that you can work on for development a goal goal of your total focal so your first one of the six is mental there's there's always a challenge to work on your mental and social everybody's on the friends of different people that and for physical your health your career family life and finally ethics and beliefs now if you think of that and say well how do i keep my one hundred sixty eight hours of every week inside those boundaries now there's going to be some time outside of us going to be playing the we are the x box or video or something that we all get that there's a certain amount of that that's ok but if you're really trying to achieve goals and you want to get peak performance or you're going to achieve more goals than the next person well then you need to stay within these boundaries boundaries that you set for yourself so magni there are these six errors or each of those six categories that i just mentioned and if you stay within those boundaries and you're spending majority of your week working on those things you're going to be more likely to accomplish those goals and then at the end of your life or later on you can look back and say while you're going through you can say in my accomplishing the same that i want to and then finally you'll be able to s you only three percent of the people plan well enough to accomplish the majority of their goals can you be in that three percent and here's one way to do it so i may give you some more tips as go all right so let's recap what we talked about in this particular sect segment goals focus and self discipline you've got all you can being the man in your life you need to identify what those goals are make them crystal clear and then set boundaries for yourself and stay within those boundaries and work towards accomplishing the same that are most important to so many questions on the first part if not with talk about balance you don't have bounce you're going to fall and the more balance you have the more enjoyable your rivals now if we look at only one part of the circle and here's hers all this works what i what i ask people to do when i work with them is say ok start with the mental for instance and you can go from zero to one hundred percent in each of the six categories and i want you to shade in how satisfied you are now you might say oh i only need to exercise twice a week and i'm thrilled and i'll be at a hundred percent whereas somebody else might say if i'm not working out five or seven times a week then i'm going to be fifty percent so the key part of this exercise is what's important to you is how you sha that circle then we'll get to the next part ok so so this next slide starts with only one circle so imagine you shaded your personal circle something like that everybody's going to have a different amount  what happens if you have a flat it's hard right correct does anybody ever bend their room so if i take off the rims right now this is what we have how do you shade that we'll how satisfied are you are in each of those areas of life is a great indicator of how much balance you have in your life so you might be better off to to collapse and be a fifty or sixty percent in all of them as opposed to a hundred percent one in ten percent or another because if you imagine that being your bicycle now is rolling down the road it's going to lead to a very very bumpy ride and you're not going to like ok so that's the end of part two many questions on balance now we're going to talk about a formula for success so success what is success not success is defined by whether or not you use the chivas your goals not whether or not you achieve his goals or her goals but whether or not you achieve your own goals and if you achieve your goals you're going to feel happy and satisfied about that and  it that's an issue of success and one that you should be very very proud of because too often people get consumed with whether or not they have enough money or enough this or not that but those are necessarily important things what makes you happy is a good measure of success now how do you get to success what happens if we are talking about those boundaries and you find your own your us your outside the boundaries but in too much time to here too much time there well if you want to fix to achieve success what you need to do you need to make go ahead you have to set a goal but what happens if you have that goal you're not reaching that goal but you have to do something differently so let's call that change now what if i sa going to do something different i'm going to go to pretty cream now and i'm going to get a cup of coffee but i still get to donuts i've changed my have i've gone to a different place but it's not a positive change and so that's the key part left side of a toy what are the parts that are important to achieve success what do you need to do well the first part i would talk about is energies that stand for my goal so you guys are working on forever you've got project and i believe if i understand correctly you get to choose what that project gets now that's extremely important why because if you pick the project you're going to be a much more passionate about pursuing whatever it is you decide to do that if some people told you i need you i want you to do this or i want to do that you all agree ok so that's very important so the next thing we're talking about is this part of the equation if you remember most of you probably have response perhaps not but let me explain to you what these variables are and how important the one that's on the outside the multiplier that gets multiplied by the s and the k well the s and the case then for skills and knowledge we think the a stands for attitude so this is why the gradient there are studies that help that are done over and over again that address this particular issue and they credit eighty five percent of the success an individual have in business in their job to attitude and they spread the other fifteen percent aptitude which is which are the skills and the knowledge now i'm not trying to say that isn't important for you to build your skills and knowledge it is important to struve aren't always talking about that next but it's it's also very important for people to understand that your attitude affects how you are going to ok that's that's a good that's a very good one i think anybody else previous successes now the two that i'm going to talk about that go into this equation are values and beliefs  not likely to advance it she that goal that main goal of boy scouts or one of the main goal of becoming an eagle scout so it's important that you feel and you believe that way and how you do about we try to challenge that what if i do that an attitude is a habit of thought we are we have visually think a certain way so therefore that's our attitude now if we c somehow change that happened then we can change our ads so one of the steps of changing your attitudes for breaking the habit the first thing you have to do is you've got a myth that is there the next thing you have to do is well you have to decide i'm going to change to a positive behavior change and i may do something differently is that the fourth and final section that we're talking about is a concept called space repetition so i'm going to tell you a phrase and i would like you if you know the your teacher says you're going to have an exam a week from today the following monday and that means you've got six days to prepare for the exam right now it's not just that every day ordinary run everybody knows it's important so nobody's going to blow this one off and you're going to work and you know it's going to take you three hours to study for this exam how many people are going to spend some time each and every day between monday and the following monday showing that's what i thought because like me that's what i did now many people are to wait till sunday night and spend three hours doing that none of you well let's just assume somebody that there big difference between whether you spend three hours on a night or you spend thirty minutes each day for six days now if you do the math thirty times six gives you the same number of minutes and you have you'll be spending three hours working on preparing for that exam here's how space repetition helps the individuals that actually apply it so the next slide shows the study says that if you're exposed to the concept  one time only one time like if you study that ninety four dollars and ninety four by the next day you're good looking if you're to remember fifty percent of that concept two days later twenty five percent and then after sixteen days it drops way down to two percent two percent so the question isn't why is that important on the other hand if you're supposed to the same concept day after day for six times this is why when you hear the news and they repeat the same thing the politicians go over and over again it's embedded thirty minutes a day as opposed to three hours on the weekend now let's say that we can hire the exact incomes your favorite aunt or uncle and you're their favor and they say guess what i've got to take it to the game tomorrow night it might be the penguins or the pittsburgh steelers playing in a playoff game and you absolutely want to go but your eat your heart out because it didn't study and you know you can blow this test off and you have to say now now is that reason enough to say you know what i really should take the time to study so i know your teachers would love it if you did that and i'm telling you but to your benefit as well so here's the kicker so let's say that the midterm exam and now you fast forward to the end of the school year you're going to take a comprehensive final exam for those who study three hours the night prior most of that learning they dropped off and they have to cram all over again at the end of the year and those people who spent six days in a row studying the same concepts and little chunks they're going to remember much more of it require talk about self discipline staying in those boundaries and doing the things you do putting the majority of your hundred sixty hours that god gave you every week and doing the things that are going to help you achieve your goals and also it would be focus but i'm personal experience when i would study something and i would have to keep pounding and pounding i would assume that eventually at some point and sometimes it just takes time and also when you're studying it's not a good idea to spend three hours in a row walk the study showed that if you spend forty five minutes i think is the time and then take a fifteen minute break forty five minutes break you're be much more rested to perform better and the results  your get are much better and so when you move on from high school or college you'll find it extremely important and if you remember the space repetition concept when you apply it trust me color me much much easier than the other question him if i'm not spending enough time with my family i really don't like it and i feel like i've got i feel stressed and that's not a good thing so what we want to do is we want to say ok let's clean up all the other things so that i can focus time on family or that could be any of the code words if i'm not exercising and for have sometimes when i when i said maybe collapse maybe if if you're think you need to be one hundred percent in one area but you're expand the entire circle in the same time as opposed to being out of whack and having a wheel that set a bunch of bedrooms now have you ever heard of a book called  spend ten thousand dollars in their field ten thousand dollars let's think about that if i spend ten thousand dollars and take you to spend thousand hours on something well if i spend a thousand hours per year it will take me ten years i have to be there we talk about my goals you have to be passionate about it you really have to want to pursue those things if you're going to be at the very very top of any particular field so a twenty hours every single week for ten years shooting baskets playing baseball whatever it is your passion is you very well could be now assuming you're not five with three and you want to play basketball and you some place and perhaps they were trying to call out the less strong so this this individual in his youth was a troublemaker and he all the sudden got them and he was concerned that perhaps he would be one of these people who would so as a high school runner he was waiting for quotable mile race and he was winning so much that when he got to it he was nineteen and he wanted to compete to go to the olympics in one hundred thirty six he didn't quite make it for the because there's a senior gentleman in your audience here is with me did you know that your predecessors a number of boy scouts moved all of the books in this wire from another you think you were it was on one of my slides what what do you i mean from my perspective what do you think you really learn that not only do you learn your project but the most important part is you're going to take it through with you for the rest of your life mr offer chose to serve via leading a sculptor a few years ago i was coaching basketball for you because i was passionate about bashful it was something i wanted to do boyscout to something he wants to do but you know what there's a message that he and i share we want to pass on our values to you because we know they're going to help you so if you have that focus on that scope project that was one of the words and what you have a project focus on and you have to apply some self discipline to make sure you do all the things that are required to get done you were to be extremely valuable things that will help you for the rest of your life and so someday you'll make more sense and you'll be able to really want to thank you for leaving our troops because i learned this value and i learned this value and it's helped me for the rest of my boy ok so that fifth and final message was three i learned later in life because a typical young man i was more interested in math and science if anything as opposed to reading and so i let me share with you here all the time but i want to share wit you anyway find something you enjoy reading if you find something you enjoy reading help in the more complex if you will what i mean by that if all you are interested in reading comics and read and if not you're interested in reading a newspaper and taking a step up or read a newspaper you'll learn more and if you want something better read magazines and if you want the best in my opinion read books so  sponsored this particular session i want to thank you very much for the opportunity to share with you and to present their permission to the library and as we talk about there are a couple of books that we shared and i've checked out books here on occasion and i continue to do that in the next page believe or not i started that book last night and i read the whole first section and i was reading it from one o'clock three o'clock in the morning because i couldn't sleep and i was relaxing and with the fans have it is a fantastic book and i want to finish it but it they want me to let the next page how can i transfer that message from a well known writer who's very successful to my life or i once be i want to be able to share with you a get you on the edge of your
