Or, they each activity can be accomplished one at a time by one person in no specific order. At least one of the paths through the visual network will take longer than the others.
The activities on the longest path must be accomplished on time if the project is to be completed on time. Critical activities are vital to the success of the project. Float is the amount of time they can be delayed with effecting the completion of the project. In the above plan, grinding the wheat, cooking the wheat, and eating the cereal take the longest amount of time and are thus on the critical path.

How they achieved their goals, the strategies, skills, thinking and behavioral patterns they used become blueprints for people who want to achieve what the model achieved.
Models of achievement blaze the trail of possibility for us—breaking down the barriers of impossibility. These are the behaviors others learned in order to accomplish their goals in all areas of life. They are deeply ingrained, positive acquired characteristics which are the product of continued success. In developing the model, the criterion we used was excellence in their chosen field, whether sports, business, entertainment, law, architecture.
The characteristics we note are not specific to any one profession or field of endeavor. The Personal Assessment Form below lists the 10 characteristics of the self-disciplined achiever. Each characteristic is presented in the same order as it is on the audio. Each is graded on a scale of one through seven.
Read all the characteristics listed on the following worksheet first. Do not mark the form at this time, just review the characteristics listed. Listen again to the 10 characteristics presented on audio Session II. As you listen to the characteristics being described, contrast and compare where you currently stand in relation to the described characteristics, behaviors and habits.
Use the rating table as a tool for personal measurement and insight. Then type the appropriate number on the scale that corresponds to your response. Your score will be automatically computed.

If you scored between 10 and 45, you will benefit greatly from this program and the attitudes it will help you develop. If you scored between 50 and 60, this program will help you sharpen your already strong self-discipline habits and attitudes.

Arnold of Rugby was loved by many — respected and admired by everyone who knew him. Born at Cowes, Isle of Wright, this great headmaster and scholar was educated at Winchester and at Oxford in England, where he distinguished himself in classics and history.
He left Oxford in , and after nine years of study and writing was elected headmaster of Rugby School. His powerful personality set its mark on the school from the first and made it great in a new sense. He was very religious and he inspired his boys with new and more serious ideals of scholarship and life. He found time, too, during the 14 years of his headmastership, to publish sermons, an edition of the Greek historian Thucydides, and a history of Rome.
He was buried in Rugby Chapel and his son Matthew wrote a beautiful eulogy about him on that occasion. Arnold was too forthright to be tactful in his dealings with boys or indeed with grown-up, but he always won their respect, and often their love by his high-minded attitude toward life and its responsibilities.

As you hear the narrator describe the concepts of indirect and direct modeling, write in the space provided below a description of each.
Indirect Modeling: Direct Modeling: 3. List three sources where you can locate models indirectly. The Personal Assessment Form you used in Session II to compare your personal strengths and weaknesses against the model of self-discipline can be used as a source of analysis in determining the strengths and weaknesses of the models of achievement you choose to emulate.

In the blank spaces characteristics 11 through 15 fill in any characteristics that are not provided for on the form.
After you listen to the narrator describe how to demystify models, list the three ways you can learn to identify with models of great achievement. Learn how they achieved their purpose and use what you learned as a blueprint for your own behaviors. If you do this consistently, over a period of time, the positive behavior will become a habit that replaces its self-defeating behavioral counterpart.
This emotion eliminates your self-imposed limitations and barriers. It is the most important realization you must make before you can achieve any worthwhile purpose.
