Week 3 - Ethics/Integrity

 I really liked the article that Elder Lynn G. Robbins wrote entitled, "Making a Living and a Life." It talked a lot about different things such as work motives in the workplace, pride, and integrity. He explains that at the A-level, the Lord established the correct order with priorities, and that at this level the primary motivation is a love of God and our fellowman. Of necessity, there is a secondary motivation to earn a living." He compares an A-level and a D-level of work and how we want to strive to follow the A-level of work and how we want to strive to do things. Elder Robbins also shares Jacob 2:18-19 which talks about not seeking for riches but seeking to build the kingdom of God. I love this because so many times in the world there are always those seeking out wealth and riches. They also don't have the integrity to do the right things and in building the kingdom of God.

I also really loved a learned a lot from Sister Sheri Dew's talk on Integrity. She quotes, "It is a virtue that will ultimately make you or break you. It will make you or break you as a husband or wife, father or mother, brother or sister, colleague or friend or leader. It will make or break your career. And most significantly, it will make or break your efforts to achieve exaltation. For it will define your relationship with God the Father, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost." After reading and pondering upon this, it made me realize of the importance of truly having integrity in all things. Whether in a marriage, family or friend relationship integrity can really make or break that particular relationship as Sister Dew talks about. I am definitely looking forward to continuing to learn more about entrepreneurship and how to prepare for that!
