1. SKIM, READ, and RE-READ:
With
what I did with this is when I first got the book I skimmed through it.
This book was recommended by a friend to me and he told me that it
would be good book to read and help me out with my life and sport. But I
skimmed through it first to see how it looked and what kind of a book
it was. I learned from skimming through it, that it was a knowledgeable
book and that it was also an instructional book as well. The first thing
I skimmed through and looked at was the table of context and trying to
make guesses on what that section had to do with what I will read about.
After
I skimmed through the book I read it. I just flat out read it and
didn't do any strategies but just plain reading it though. To me when I
read it for the first time, I got the knowledge of what the book is
about and what I will learn in it. And I learned about when I first was
skimming on what all the contents titles were about. After reading the
book, I decide to take it slow and re-read the book again, but this time
I would do more than just read it, I would take notes and study on what
I need to learn to more understand the book.
2. TAKING NOTE:
So
the second time I read the book I decide to take notes. I took notes
because I don't like making out my books, so I rather take notes and
have them in the book instead of marking up the book with pen and
highlighters. So I used sticky notes to put all over the book and write
notes that I thought were important, things that were important, and
things to understand and learn from. Notes that I took from the book was
important people and books. In the book there are a lot of important
people and books in the book that they mentioned. I wrote that down in
my notes so that way I can go back and look and study those things and
maybe go a head and read the books that they write down. I also wrote
down on what it was describing about as well on why you should know who
that person is and why you should read their book.
So with the next set of notes I took was what I could learned from the book. There is a lot of useful tips and exercises that are very useful. These tips that they have in this book is very useful and very helpful. In the picture right below this, shows a lot of emotions and give you tips on how to control them and how to make you better. This helped me out for when I do have these emotions I just think of this book and I use it to make me change and manage my emotions so that way I'm a better person in life and in my sport.

So
with me writing all these notes down they help me get ready and help me
better my reading so that way I know and understand fully on what I'm
reading. I like having the notes in the book because I can go back and
know what is going on with the book and I learn so much rather than just
what I read, I studied and made me understand more than just the
reading.
3. EVALUATED WHAT I UNDERSTAND:
Their
was a lot that I learned from this book. I learned a lot about being a
good person and being true to myself. I learned how to be a better
athlete and a better person. This book showed me how I shouldn't be
negative towards myself at all. I should always be positive and be the
best that I can be. One thing in the book shows me is inner excellence.
In the book it gives examples and tells me how to have that inner
excellence and how to get better at it. I like to learn a lot on this
and I think that the book helped me out that it made me to a better
person. To me when i us this strategy, I want to know what i have learn
so i go through my notes and figure out what i learn and sometimes when i
re-read also, i learn new things or older things that i have
forgotten.
