 October 1st-7th

This week has been a good week of learning! I learned quite a lot from my classes as well as the individual experience that I went through. I also had the great opportunity to listen and go to General Conference in Salt Lake City and received and learned very important lessons and things I need to continually work on in my life.

From general conference I learned quite a few things. Such as the fact that if you want to grow faith or have faith at all then you will need to give forth energy. You can't expect your faith to stay how strong it is or to grow at all if you aren't willing to put forth some energy and dig deep into the gospel. Another thing that stuck with me was that we need to constantly be writing in the fleshy tables of our hearts. We need to continually nourish our testimony and truly take what we learn to heart. Not only just learn it in our hearts but have it so engrained into our hearts that we continually become like Jesus Christ.

One thing that has stuck with me through my classes this week is that our career path that we choose shouldn't be something that we don't enjoy. There is a balance to what path we pick. We must do things that we are born to do, things that we are good at, and things that people will pay us for. We have to find the sweet spot of those three things and pick a career path in that area. The reason behind that is the fact that you don't want to do something for a long time that you truly don't enjoy or else you will come to hate going to work everyday. It needs to be something that you have a passion for, something that brings you joy and excitement. It won't be everyday that you are having the time of your life but in the end we need to go into a career that we can look back on and be happy and proud of the amazing memories that we will make.

 September 24th-30th This week was a good week with learning about things that are right and things that are wrong. In two of my classes we focused on morals and ethics and how it applies not only to how businesses act but how it applies to us in our daily lives. It's helped me realize what things I should and can be lenient with in my life and other situation's and things that I have to be strict with so that I'm able to stay within my own ethics. Another thing that I learned from this week is that the Lord sometimes makes it very obvious with what he wants you to do. He may put the same person in your path everyday until you talk to them, you may repeatedly see the same things that the Lord wants you to look into or he may continue to give you the same impression over and over again until you act on it. From this weeks readings and videos, the most important thing that I took away from it was that we should never bend or break or compromise our own integrity. Integrity is...

  The article written by Handy goes over many things of a business such as virtue and integrity as well as real justification and how it comes into play within the business world and how it applies to individuals and companies. Virtue and integrity are essential to an economy because markets rely on rules and laws. These rules and laws, in turn, depend on truth and trust. If truth is concealed or trust is eroded, the reliability of the market diminishes. The article suggests that if businesses sacrifice truth or erode trust, markets may empty, share prices may collapse, and people may seek alternative places to invest their money. In this context, virtue and integrity contribute to the stability and functioning of the economic system. The article suggests that the real justification for the existence of businesses goes beyond merely making a profit. While making a profit is important, it is considered a means to a larger end. The purpose of a business, according to Handy, is to mak...

  Entrepreneurship isn’t just a career; it is all about the journey you go through and all the various skills and other things you learn along the way. It is a common practice to go from company to company to learn from others and develop your own skills and to understand more fully what it is in life that you want to accomplish. Throughout this process people usually realize what kind of business they want to create and how it will affect the world. Randy Haykin is a prime example of this process, he first started at a larger company and learned and grew his knowledge as well as grew the other people he knew that were on similar paths. This helped him to realize what he wanted and helped him throughout his journey of building up his own business. This is a big thing that I learned this week. I also learned a lot of the second coming and the signs of the times as well as what they mean. Another thing that I learned is that the church is under condemnation regarding the scriptures. ...
