2. Enthusiasm
"It is the engine that powers all blocks of the Pyramid. It is why I chose Industriousness and Enthusiasm as the cornerstones of my Pyramid of Success. It is where everything begins."
Reflection. They are the ones that cause the rest of the pyramid to properly function. When there is Enthusiasm and Industriousness, there will be results you want to see. these two hold on two the pyramid.



3. Friendship

It also taught us that when something gets hard or any obstacles were to get in out way to push yourself in order to accomplish what you have been wanting to achieve. Lastly this pyramid has showed me many ways to achieve any accomplishment but most importantly to have faith that i can do something i thought i wasn't capable of trying.
