week 6

 Week 6 

This week was really cool just to learn about all of the different styles everyone has but also those that are successful have a lot of the same rules you could say that they have created for themselves. It shows that the more we go through life the more we realize what actually matters to us and how we can efficiently do do or be around those things/people that matter most to us. One of the common things that I noticed in most of the videos/talks was that everyone said to set a guideline for yourself to follow so that you don't just get consumed by work, they said that you should have this so that you can still hang out with your family and so that you can do what you love. I really like this because the older I get the more I realize just how important my family is and how I need to dedicate more time and devotion to them so that I can live joyfully with them forever. The one professor who talked about not crunching down the thing that are important really stood out to me, probably the most out of the week. That really hit me because I feel that a lot of the times I am prioritizing those hobbies or things that I think are fun when in fact I could be doing something else that is a lot more important, something that actually matters and that will get me somewhere. As I devote more time to the things that matter I have seen miracles, like I just got back from a school expedition where I was offered a couple internships and so just devoting my time to those more important things has helped with me finding jobs and being able to actually progress in this life.

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 ...

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...
