This week I loved the readings and videos and
found them to be very helpful and contained great messages and advice.
From President Monson’s talk, I want to
remember the characteristics of teachers. One thing that stuck out to me is
when President Monson spoke about gratitude for teachers, and specifically when
he mentioned his marketing professor. He talked about this professor had a
friendly persuasion, taught truth, inspired effort, and prompted love. What if
all teachers were able to do these things? Wouldn’t the world be a better
place? I play a few different “teacher” roles, one being a mother, in my life
and just loved this. It made me think that if I can teach my children in this
way, it seems like a good definition of a successful teacher.
The last thing that I really enjoyed from this
talk is at the end when President Monson told us ways we can show our Savior
gratitude, by following Him and obeying His words. I hope to always strive to
be the kind of person He was.
From the video, “Avoid the Wrong Job,” I liked
hearing that we should choose a job we think is fun. I feel like when we enjoy
what we do, it makes all the difference. I also found the advice Christensen
gave in the video to put ourselves in a situation to be able to take advantage
of opportunities that come up important. I think that a lot of times people
miss out when they are unable to take advantage of opportunities.
