LADDER to Success
Everyone has a story to tell. We have positive experiences that make us feel
good and happy, like winning in a school competition, celebrating a milestone, and
receiving gifts or praise from other people. We also have negative experiences that
make us feel uncomfortable, sad, fearful, or angry, like losing in a game, being sick,
or getting a failing grade. These positive and negative experiences can serve as our
guide and inspiration in achieving success. Through these experiences we learn
from our mistakes and we realize the value of our decisions. Here are some tips to
success using the LADDER:
Learn from experiences and make it a point that you continue and move on
whatever challenges you may encounter.
Acknowledge your strengths and weaknesses, the lessons you learned from your
personal experiences, and from other person’s experiences, so that you will know
what to do in challenging times.
Discipline should be observed in your thoughts and actions. This is an important
aspect of learning that would help you in your everyday life.
Dream big and do better. Always remember successful people dreamed first to
become successful.
Explore. Discover new things and be open to all possibilities. Do not be afraid to
join in organizations or try to learn new skills.
Responsible. Be responsible for all the decisions you will make.
The experiences you learn from your home, school, and community will
contribute in your success because it will give you confidence in meeting challenges
in life as you work toward your goals and climbing the ladder to success.
