Week 8

I really enjoyed the video on Taylor Richards at the Rollins center at BYU. I liked how he referenced Nephi in the Book of Mormon and how Nephi always kept pushing ahead, and always moving forward despite some of the trials he went through. I loved it because sometimes in life we deal with hard times, and we have wonderful prophets and people to look to who have paved the way and set an example for us to keep on carrying on no matter how hard the journey. I also liked that brother Richards talked about not underestimating ourselves or the Lord’s – and that whatever we put our mind to we can accomplish and do. It got me thinking that whatever we choose to do in business or in our life, that we need to believe in ourselves and not doubt that we can’t accomplish anything we set our minds to. Another article that I enjoyed reading was the one from Elder and Sister Holland. The whole article had great points and principles throughout, but what stood out to me was what Sister Holland said. She said, “Be all that you can be! If you have oil in your lamps, you will find how often you get a chance to light them. If you have cared enough to prepare, your light will attract many, both men and women who will seek and cherish your companionship.” She said to be all we can be, to be prepared in all things and to be a light to the world. Elder Holland also talked about preservice and determination which I liked because those are the two things, we should have to keep on going in life with our goals and ambitions in life. I have enjoyed all that we have learned thus far in this class. I look forward to learning and experiencing much more about entrepreneurship through our articles and videos.
