Week 6

 

I am always thankful for all the videos and articles we are assigned each week because I learn something from each one of them.  I enjoyed reading the article by President N. Eldon Tanner on self-mastery. He first starts out by stating that we are here on this earth to prepare ourselves for the immortality and eternal life of man. He is right. We are all here to prepare, prepare, and prepare. One of the ways we can prepare is by having self-discipline and self-mastery. I also like how he mentions that Satan is continually at work and will try to tempt us through our passions and appetites. He continues to say that we cannot afford to waver in any way because there are those looking at our examples and can and will be influenced by our actions. We have to be watching and continually preparing ourselves by self-mastery to do the things we were called to do on this earth. I also enjoyed Jan Newman’s video on loyalty God and Family. He talked about how our priorities should be God first and then Family. One thing that stuck out to me was where he said that we should never be too busy to not accept a calling in church. I agree with him. In my mind, when you turn down a calling, you’re saying your too busy for the Lord and can’t help Him with His work. Another thing that stuck out to me was when he said we should always be a light to the world through our actions and integrity. He said the world lacks integrity and honesty and when we do have integrity and honesty we will stick out like a sore thumb because there’s not many who have it. I liked this because it’s true! We should always be sharing our light to others by being honest and having integrity. Who wants to do business with someone who isn’t trustworthy or honest? There were a lot of good advice and tips to ponder about as I think of what it is I want to do as an entrepreneur. I am looking forward to learning and experiencing more on entrepreneurship. There’s a lot that I don’t know much about, but I have already learned so much about what to do and how to go about starting a business.
