THE SECRET by Rhonda Byrne - Reaction Paper

THE SECRET
(Reaction Paper)

The Secret is a book written by Rhonda Byrne, which is known as the best-selling book in 2006. I was amazed when I entered the classroom and found out that we’ll be viewing/watching the DVD about The Secret. I know for sure that I’ve seen the book in National Bookstore; which I don’t know that there’s a DVD. I wanted to have that book since I saw it and unfortunately I don’t have enough money to buy it because my priority is to buy my favourite novels and time passes, I forgot all about that book entitled The Secret. I know it is shameful that I never bought it nor searched it on the internet if there’s any DVD; I was so focused to buy the book that I wanted. I am lucky that I am a part who knows The Secret and I am thankful to know it. 


To begin with, The Secret is a life changing, it makes you financially independent, it let your mind powerful and lastly, it will make you successful. The Secret is kept hidden from thousands of people and they let their ignorance spread to people; it was buried, coveted, suppressed and it was never revealed to the public. According to Bob Proctor, a philosopher, the secret gives you anything you want; happiness, health, and wealth. He also said that “we become what we think”, which means whatever we think it predict our future. The law of Attraction is The Secret; what we see, hold, or even our thoughts are equivalent to what we need, want or even demand and it attracts to you. Like what I watched and jotted down, an affirmative thought is a thousand’s more powerful than negative thought. The more you think, the more it will happen because the universe is reacting to what you want; which means that it attracts what you think. Also, mind shaping what it being perceive it is always your choice at the end. Let go of the bad habits, the old routine focus on new choices or what you want even more rather than doing the same old boring and unhappy ways. The law of attraction is like Aladdin’s Genie it grants our every command. There are three steps in creating what you want by the help of create process, (1) ask, (2) believe, and (3) receive. In real life, there is no default, autopilot, or even a monitor that you’ll just click yourself to shut down. There are easy ways to feel good, be good and it is one of your choices if you really want to have a wonderful life, it is thinking a new positive possibilities. It is always creating feedback mechanisms, what you desire or even creating your own future in your mind is one of creating your life into a positively way. Even in money, people or writing a book it always attracts you ‘because in reality, there is no rule book. Every predominantly feeling you feel is temporary, so when you are feeling angry, change your emotion and put goodness in your life. 


Thinking plus doing it is equals to attraction. The first thing to do is to change your kind of thinking especially those past habits. There are two power of process, gratitude and visualize. Our imagination isn’t limited, imagine and visualize everything what you want to achieve in your life and that visualization/ imagination is your Vision Board in life. It is what you want to achieve or your goals, it visualizes, you make actions and you can see the law of attraction. The mind is functioning and helping the body to achieve it too, it dwells upon the end result of your holographic experience; and in every feeling there is attraction, it is also inner-seeing yourself by how well you want change, to see or feel miracles and magic, feeling good is not a requirement and not a chore, it is always a choice. You think positively everyday and began to feel new experiences you never had. What you focus into your life is what you want in your life, like what kind of people you let in, in yourself or even the job you eagerly wanted to have, a healthy living, a wealthier year, or any kind of circumstances in your daily lives. 


There are six different secrets that I’ve learned. They are; The Secret to Money, The Secret to Relationships, The Secret to Health, The Secret of the World, The Secret to You, and lastly The Secret to Life. Wealth is a mindset according to the secret to money, which also means as life is abundant in all areas. You have to be inspired by the thought you acquire from your mind or literally means visualizing what you want, believe and intend to do it. Prosperity is equals to abundance. You will feel inner joy, inner peace, and inner vision. When you are feeling negative vibration, you have to change it, into a positive one so that it won’t affect you. The things that I remembered from the secret to relationship are the; you need to respect yourself, love it and gives yourself a treat. “When you won’t focus on yourself first, how can someone even love you too?” this marked my mind and that made a big impact from me that’s why I never had a long and stronger relationship with anyone. The sweetest thing in the video is that when you love someone; write down what you like about him; whether it’s their odour, knowledge and a lot more characteristics of an individual. Let them appreciate you and vice versa, always acknowledge their strength and yours. The third secret is to health, he become what he thought. Health is like healing your own self, it is always your choice whether you want to live happy or just sat there in one corner and be sad all day long. Like what the video said, He used his thoughts and mind works and then he was healed. He was healed because he chooses joy, he chooses to live happy and he thought of happy thoughts. 


“Not everyone wants the same”, that phrase came from secret of world. This part of the video, I wasn’t paying attention because I felt irritated. I barely have notes in this part--so sad, I lost focus because of my temporary emotion. But I asked myself, will you just let get into your nerves? And my subconscious said, “I’ve got to get back and snap out of it”. That’s what the law of attraction made me do in just seconds. It’s so amazing how I can apply it. The secret to you is next; in life is where you will found energies, where God created the universe to be like that. We are all connected but we barely see it. You mean eternal it is made for perfection and there is always a power within you. You choose what path you will take. Life of your own is like writing a novel a pen is in you and you began to think, write, do it, and you let yourself once in a while to break free you design your own path. Lastly, the Secret to Life like you work with the secret. Your mission is what you interpret it. You are the creator of your own life depending to what you think. If you follow your bliss you live in a constant joy, which is you have to feel good and sustain what you have, appreciate everything lastly, don’t regret anything because you did that for a reason whether you know or not. The three important highlights are inner joy, inner peace and inner vision first. You have to feel good!

PSY homework - Midterm



Reaction Paper (3-5 sentences)


1)    I like the thought of Gary Ryan Blair by saying that success is like a combination of lock in a vault or a vault of success and it must be in the right number of sequence. It made me think and feel like I should really try to do the ten rules for success in order to attain my own success. Sometimes, when I plan thoroughly, I do not include others nor involve them because I don’t know that they have to be. Especially, when it comes to failure, I never like it or welcome it neither rewarding myself after reaching my goal.

2)    In life, ten percent of it what you do or what you make out of it and ninety percent of it is how you take it, either positively or negatively. It is always your choice, that’s what I like about Dan Green’s thought. It made me feel enthusiastic and hopeful for tons of opportunity to come in the future, during and after watching the link. Lastly, he reminded me to always finish strong.

3)    Little difference is your attitude towards success and the big difference of it is your actions or how you react, either positively or negatively. That’s what Mac Anderson and Bob Kelly left me with a lot of questions in mind. But then again, they let me realize that the best of success is within you, yourself and how you pursue your dreams and turn it into opportunity of success in a positively way. When you obtain your goal, spread sunshine to others or share it to them.

4)    In 365 days of Inspiration movie by Zig Ziglar, are all quotes on how to be inspired in a year. It made me think for a few seconds, and the movie is still playing and then, “our words reveal our thoughts, our manners mirror our self-esteem, our actions reflect our character, our habits predict the future” that quote on the screen made me pause for a second and thought for something. That thought made me realize that I should be always at my bests and accepts failure. It is such a relief to see this movie and be inspired.

5)    “One choice can change your life!” that is the one thing that processed in my mind. For a choice, you should take action either it is starting a new career, losing weight, adopting a child, starting a business, or simplifying life, you should always give it back. Always be thankful for what you have and what you’ve done, that is what I gained/ realized from the movie link.

6)    Life is not about perfection, it is about a progress. That thought of BJ Gallagher inspired me! An inches turns into miles. A pearl can turn in a strand of pearls. Even in a small act of yours, can turn into a big appreciation for someone. It is like staying in the course, like what the movie link said. The best way out of it is the power of perseverance.

7)    This one is the most inspiring link of all because the quotes written/ shown is from the Great Leaders throughout the world and that’s why Great Quotes is the title of Peggy Anderson chooses. The twenty-five quotes gathered by Anderson were the best of all. It is all about life, challenges, dreams, success, failures, attitudes, love, and dealing with other people. The most quote that inspired me is from Mahatma Ghandi, he said, that we must become the change we want to see in the world. For me, It is within ourselves we need to change before we change the world that’s what I understand from Ghandi’s thought.

8)    “Kindness is a language we all understand. Even the blind can see it and the deaf can hear it”, said by Mother Teresa. After watching the clip of appreciation made by Barbara Glanz, it made me realize that even in a letter you can show that you appreciate someone if words are hardly spoken and actions can lead you in different interpretations but a letter doesn’t. Like John’s teacher in the 8th grade, if I received a letter from one of my students’ way back, I would likely to react of being overjoyed by gladness because someone appreciates me and still remembers me after long years passed and be thankful for it.

9)    Power of kindness by Mac Anderson. His clip showed me the thought of, “do something kind without expecting a reward in return”. In our generation, a lot of teenagers are doing kindness to other people because we expect something in return well in fact, that is not a requirement. It feels like you are just doing it because you wanted something back too. So this movie link, made me realized that a good heart is equivalent of a good life. Help people because you wanted to with open arms, not because you are expecting something in return or expect them to be like you. That will be always kept in my mind.

10)  Three letters from Teddy is originally published and well known written by Elizabeth Silance Ballard and now, it known as making a difference, it is the new title. Miss Thompson’s attitudes toward judging students by the way they look and act changed especially when she meets Teddy Stallard. She never knew that Teddy strives to learn and excel in school, until she saw the past comments of his teachers; “Teddy is a smart guy, good to his classmates and very well loved by everyone”. “Teddy is bothered, and brought him in a severe path of depression about his mother’s death and then he withdrawn.” When Miss Thompson saw that, she realized why Teddy was acting that way and she started to cry less than an hour. This movie link made me cry, seriously. Especially when teddy gave her the rhinestone bracelet and perfume of his mom, it’s the last Christmas they had together. They really had the big impact out of me. They made a difference through one another through their experiences and attitudes towards one another.

11)   The strangest secret by Earl Nightingale is the secret to success. And yes, there is a secret to success. As said on the video, success is a progressive realization of a worthy ideal. As I interpret it, the secret to success is the choice of what you want to achieve. You become what you think about and always plant your goal in your mind, sought it through and achieve it.

12)  Be blessed. In this movie link, always choose to be on the positive perspective and be thankful. Even if you are in your darkest days, always find for a path of light or a path of goodness. There is nothing wrong to be sad, but being happy is a better feeling to feel than sorrow or revenge. For in every storm, may bring you a rainbow; and in every sorrow, may bring you a thousands of joy, like what the clip shown.

13)  TAC, “To A Child”, love is spelled T-I-M-E. When we are growing up, we never knew that for a kid, being loved is giving your precious time to them because for them, they just need your attention even for a few minutes. Like what the movie link shown me, Jimmy and his dad’s perspectives way back. Dad wrote in his own journal: “Wasted time with Jimmy didn’t catch a thing” but for Jimmy, 4th of June is: “Went fishing with my Dad. Best day of my life”. In that two phrases I felt guilty at the same touched me, guilty because I seldom give my parents attention because I’m happily attached with my peers, and touched because I realized that my parents appreciated me and they are the best that anyone could have. Even if, to the world you might be one person, but to one person, you might be the world. That’s the ended thought that I’ll remember.

14)  Change is good. There are twenty-one ways to inspire change in this movie link. I rarely see the point of this movie neither like this nor did I get the message right. They just enumerate a lot of things it didn’t inspire me. Different from what I expect, and it turn out to be a lousy video presentation.

15)  This last video clip is a lesson taught by Bob Proctor. It is really difficult to track this one and I don’t know if it is the right one. But it says on youtube that is it or is entitled as: BOB PROCTOR on SUBCONCIOUS MIND and HOW TO PROGRAM IT, hoping that I got the message and the right clip. He said that our subconscious mind is already programmed or with a paradigm. In our conscious mind, we have our five senses while in our sub-conscious are ideas, thoughts or images what our conscious mind seen, heard, tasted, felt, or even smelled it. What I’ve learned about this movie link is that if we change our paradigm, we change our lives.

Answers:
1.)  I’ve selected the web links below:
  1.                                                   i.    http://play.simpletruths.com/movie/simple-truths-of-service/
a. In this web link, I’ve watched Johnny the Bagger personalized his service by his “thought of the day”. Every customer’s are willing to wait at the line just to have that thought of the day by Johnny and it touched a lot of customer’s heart. Like, the video says, “Great Service comes the heart”.  It wasn’t that innovative, but it loved and it came from his heart – heart of Johnny.
  1. I’ve chosen this link because it inspired me in the thought of “self-discipline is equivalent to personal greatness”. To develop self-discipline you must have the 7 traits. Achieving Goals, Building up Character which it helps to increase self-worth and your self-esteem. Time it is always your enemy, you can’t take back what you’ve done but you can make it sensible to arrange it. Health has 5 P’s they are proper weight, proper diet, proper exercise, proper rest, and proper attitude. Money will never be a problem if you have self-discipline and you may reach your financial goals. Courage if you have self-discipline you can do it without fear in life. Lastly, responsibility where you control thoughts and feelings if you have self-discipline.
  1. Attitude is everything. I’ve chosen this web link because I’ve learned a lot. Like, whatever you do to others might come back to you. It is always to know your attitude and adjust them if they have to be adjusted. 
                        d. Power of Team Work. I’ve chosen this web link because like everyone else said, two heads are better than one but it is better to do it with the team. Some can classified their team into winners and losers but it is not right to do that ‘cause every member have a role to the success of the team.
                        e. Lastly, I’ve chosen the web link of essence of leadership or the leadership movie, because every company, every service we have a leader. The leader should have the traits of have a service attitude, the love for the members, always focus on the priorities, understand the soft stuff, build you unique brand, embrace humour and optimism, commit to excellence, can take risks, reinforce  the core values, earn trust of the customers and the employees, take action in whatever should be taking action of, and lastly, aim for the heart because if you aim for the heart it means that you care for everyone even if, you don’t know everything at least they know that you care.

Reference: Encarta Dictionary and General Psychology Book

2. B)  For me, I chose Educational Psychology, Environmental Psychology, Personality Psychology, Development Psychology and Social Psychology. In Educational Psychology it says that, it deals with problems experienced by some children at school and in other learning situations and in Environmental Psychology it is stated that it is, concerned with the effects of environmental factors such as space, weather building design, crowding and pollution, on behaviour. I want to know if there are really psychological problems experienced by the students in education and how the environment may affect it to the students and how will it help the students fix or adapt or adjust to it.

3.)   The 5 topics that I’ve interest with are: Perception, Learning, Memory, Motivation, and Psychology in the Work Place. In Psychology in the work place, I wonder if how I will use the lessons from perception, learning, memory and motivation in real life. It interests me, because I have an instinct that it will be a great topic for this semester. Hopefully, after we tackle the topics, I would apply everything I’ve learned.

Reference: Notes in Notebook

4.)   The 3 highlights in FEU History and 2 FEU Vision-Mission
In FEU History, the 3 highlights I’ve chosen are: First, “When all the classrooms and laboratories became fully air-conditioned, thus enabling students to concentrate better in their studies since they no longer suffered anymore the heat of our tropical country”. Next is, that the “FEU earned a UNESCO Culture Heritage Conservation Award, countless student awards in national and international competitions, numerous championships in various sports in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines, and top ten places in the government licensure examinations in accountancy, law, nursing, architecture, and education, as well as among the Outstanding Students of the Philippines, Ayala Young Leaders, BPI Pinoy Expat, to name a few”. Lastly, “The tandem took efforts to refurbish historic FEU buildings designed in Art Deco style which has become rare due to the demolition spree of old edifices in the country”. And the 2 FEU Vision-Mission, I’ve chosen, “service-oriented” and “environment-conscious community”.
Reference: FEU Student Handbook

5.)   Guidance Counsellor, Teachers/Educators, Researcher, Special Education, Psychometrician, Organization Development, Training Specialist, HR Officer, HR Planning and Recruitment, Training Development, Performance Management, Compensation Benefit, and Labour Relations.
  1. I chose the Guidance Counsellor as the first one because in high school, students usually start to ask themselves if what career suppose to take and they are needed to be guided with that. Second is the Teachers/Educators because they are the second parents of the students, they can advice the students about their academic problems, and which is better course for them. My third choice is the Researchers, because they are very important without them, there will be fewer facts/knowledge/studies that might lead of stopping researches. Next is the Special Education, Psychometrician, Organizational Development,  Training Specialist, HR Officer, HR Planning and Recruitment, Training Development, Performance Management, Compensation Benefit, and Labour Relations.
