Week 2

 I think that Randy Pausch was able to achieve so many of his childhood dreams because he never gave up. He explains in his video about how brick walls are there in our life for a reason. What he means by brick walls are trials and obstacles. He says, “Brick walls are there for a reason: they let us prove how badly we want things.” I loved this because any dream that we have can come to life without giving up. If we have any setbacks with our dreams or goals, we don’t give up and we keep finding a way to get through that brick wall. I think dreaming is important because it gives us the hope and motivation to accomplish what we desire. One of my childhood dreams was to get married and have a family. I have always believed that I would someday get married and have children and I did!

 I wasn't sure whether or not I would like this class or not, but after reading the assigned articles and videos, my mind has begun to wander about the possibilities about becoming a successful entrepreneur. I have enjoyed learning about what each video and article has had to say about entrepreneurship. I really loved President Hinckley’s video and what he had to say. One of the things that stood out to me was when he said, “Now be faithful. Be true. Go forward. Be ambitious. Don’t short circuits yourself. Don’t stop now. Keep going. Keep going. Educate your minds. And your spirits and never lose sight of the fact that you’re a child of God with a divine destiny and capable of doing great and good and wonderful thing.” I know that with each coming week there will be so much more I will get out of, and I am excited about that.

I am looking forward to writing in my journal blog about the things I learn and get better at as I read weekly and watch the assigned videos. I am really excited about this class!
