Week 3 Journal Entry

 Week 3 Entry:

I really liked reading the talk given by Sheri Dew, her words were really impactful especially how she quoted past prophets and how she would use their words as her own. Of course, I am sure we were all touched by the quote "True Blue, Through and Through." It probably made a bunch of us wonder and think about if we are true blue, through and through. I think that for every single one of us that is going to look different and we can all apply it in a ton of different ways. For me being true blue through and through means to always stand for what is right no matter the circumstances. It means that I need to know God's doctrine like the back of my hand and have his commandment at the forefront of everything. It means this to me because as I see it and after reading Joseph's experience when he didn't run and hide but instead went up to the guy with pistol in hand and said that he was quote on quote a "Mormon," true blue means knowing what you stand for and never giving up on that always being willing to spread it no matter the consequences. I think one way I can improve on being true blue through and through is by sharing my experiences more, right we all learn from one another especially through experiences that we have had so I think if I just open my mouth more and share what God has given me, then I can help others grow and they can know what I stand for. I am looking forward to sharing these experiences with some of my friends as they know what I stand for but as I share these experiences I think they will not only know what I stand for but what I feel and I think that will help them understand me more and some of the things that I do. I also look forward to relating these videos we watched about ethics to my future place of work because I want to be one that everyone knows they can trust and that will be fair to everyone no matter the circumstances.

Week 2 Journal Entry

 Week 2  I think the reason that Randy Pausch was able to accomplish so many of his childhood dreams is because he had people in his life who believed in him. For example, at the end of his speech he told parents to give some freedom to their kids, meaning let them be creative let them expound on their ideas so they can see that they have these ideas that can be master pieces. Like his parents did for him, he was able to draw math equations on his walls he had the ability to expound in his ideas and with that came more creativity and positivity in his life. With a simple dream he was able to take it and make it into something that he loves doing and that where our dreams come into play.  I do feel like dreaming is important because when we dream, we are setting ourselves up for opportunity and growth that we wouldn't find anywhere else. The more that we dream the more likely we are to find something that we are passionate about and when we do that, we can find our calling...

Week 1

 Week 1       There were quite a few things that I really liked from this week's study material but one thing in specific to start with was President Hinkley's talk that we listened to. It was very inspirational seeing the love and devotion he puts towards the students us his brothers and sisters and just how deeply he cared and thought about what he was going to say. When he says that we should not betray ourselves I need to use in my daily life. I feel like I betray myself when I compare myself to others and don't fully look at myself the way God sees me. I feel like if I were to do that then I could more fully understand the plans and responsibilities that God has for me. I think it also pertains to the business side of things because we can't doubt our abilities and ideas because as soon as we do that, we lose faith in the idea and when that happens, we can hardly accomplish anything.       I don't really remember if it is mentioned very ...
