Dream Big Dreams

I really enjoyed the things I learned and read this week for class.
Here are a few things I hope to always remember.

 First, from the article, “The Heart of Entrepreneurship” I found it very interesting and gave some interesting perspectives and information about the entrepreneurial mindset. While reading the article I thought much about the type of person I am---the promoter vs the trustee. I thought a lot about the part that said, “A person’s most valuable assets are intelligence, energy, and experience—not money or other material things—which are well suited to the promoter role.” I feel that this is true, both in the business world and a career, and also in life in general.

From the video, “Think Big” I love the idea and motivation that it gives, that we can accomplish goals and dreams, especially when we involve the Lord. I also liked how he said we can do GREAT things, and that it is no harder to be great, then to be good. Don’t let anyone tell you you can’t. Pursue goals, dreams, and pursue huge.

From Dallin H. Oaks talk, "The Challenge to Become" I loved and found it really important when he said, "From such teachings we conclude that the Final Judgment is not just an evaluation of a sum total of good and evil acts—what we have done. It is an acknowledgment of the final effect of our acts and thoughts—what we have become. It is not enough for anyone just to go through the motions. The commandments, ordinances, and covenants of the gospel are not a list of deposits required to be made in some heavenly account. The gospel of Jesus Christ is a plan that shows us how to become what our Heavenly Father desires us to become." It is so important that we have done good things, but more importantly what we have become. I always hope to remember this.
