We found the trait about not worrying about things you can control to be the most important. Most people arn't trying to sell an idea in a board room like the author expects us to be working on. Not worrying about things we can't control is something you can exercise everyday. Spaggetti for lunch in the cafeteria isnt something you can change, so you embrace the spagetti and become it. My mother really enjoyed this article, and felt as if it was a good tool to consider in her daily life. <br /><br />Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00176816604693149193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465607539741279877.post-65141804186247883982014-02-24T12:02:34.613-08:002014-02-24T12:02:34.613-08:00Period 4

If you possess these traits whatever you pursue you can attain. The trait that stuck out most to us was don't play small. I could settle for going to a mediocre college and a mediocre job. Instead I push myself to work hard now so one day I can attend a great school and enter into the Marines as an officer which are two endeavors that require great mental toughness. Following these traits will put anyone on a path to success.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08431475865283389089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465607539741279877.post-40897104052322679782014-02-10T18:19:51.556-08:002014-02-10T18:19:51.556-08:00Rebekah Estrada Pd 2

She said that she believes that mental toughness just doesn't come naturally you must first go through an experience that knocks you down and when you realize you can't give up and get back up you have gained the "mental toughness" and that me and her both have gone through so much that we both are mentally tough. she also liked the first one in the article "don't feel sorry for yourself" because she always tells me that and its true, you can't feel bad for yourself when 99.9% of the time its your fault you're even in that position.

She also talked about how it is difficult to maintain this mental toughness for many people and when she was younger mental toughness was not something she was good with instead it was something that held her back from a lot of things in life.
