Academy Weekly Fly Around

Greetings!


Welcome to another exciting week.  There are a huge amount of entries coming in for our club technical comp this Sunday.  Remember that it is all about participating and trying to learn something from the experience as well as having an awesome time hanging out with your friends at the Academy for the morning.  The little kids get to see what the big kids can do and the big kids (adults included!!) get to see what the little kids can do.

We are still chasing any extra volunteers for the day just to help record results and run events. If you would like to be involved just give us a yell on the morning of the comp or leave your name at reception.

Christmas Party tickets have gone on sale at reception and you should have by now received an invitation with a tear off slip on the bottom.  Book in early as tickets are limited and based on previous years it is a huge night.

I think I mentioned it last week but I will say it again, congratulations to the many students who are maintaining and for many increasing their focus on black belt gradings and colour belt gradings even though the year is coming to a close.  Parents- don't assume the kids want to wind down just because the school year is coming to a close and Christmas is coming.  Lets work together to keep them focussed on their goals and help them achieve success in everything they do.

Have a great week.

New Book- Success for Teens
by Fiona O'Flaherty
Success for Teens
 I have just come across this new book called Success for Teens.  From what I can see it appears to be a really interesting book based on many teenage stories and simple messages to remember.  I am going to order some in so if you are interested let me know.  Here are some of the important points they re inforce in the book.

SUCCESS for Teens™ has an immense goal: transitioning teens from passively waiting for life to happen to understanding they can-and, in fact, must-pursue their dreams now. This book tells them how they can begin.

Chapter 1: Little Things Matter
Theme: The little things you do every day, whether positive or negative, will determine the kind of life you lead.

Chapter 2: Attitude is Everything
Theme: Your actions are driven by what you most deeply believe about yourself and the world.

Chapter 3 : Use the Moment
Theme: You can create a better future by spending less time in the past and taking action in the present.

Chapter 4: Everything Starts with Small Steps
Theme: Every success in life, large or small, starts and continues with small steps.

Chapter 5: There's No Such Thing as Failure
Theme: Success is built on failure because it helps you discover your strengths and creates unexpected opportunities.

Chapter 6: Habits Are Powerful
Theme: Positive habits are powerful tools that can help you reach your full potential.

Chapter 7: You're Always Learning
Theme: There's no standing still in life, as you always have opportunities to learn something new.

Chapter 8: You Can Make Your Dreams into Reality
Theme: By taking small, positive steps over time, you dreams can come true.


YES this book is aimed at Teenagers but in reality the philosophy it teaches applies to all of us and the messages whether we are Kids or Adults can help us all.
