Week 7

Week 7

For me, numbers 2 and 3 are the most meaningful. 

2. begin with the end in mind.

I think I am really good at starting something because I am interested in many things. The problem is I lose those interests so quickly. Because of that, it is so hard for me to finish. I just quit. I want to see the fruit right after what I stated. For example, I started working out, and I made a goal for it, but I just quit because I didn't see my body didn't change. It is so hard for me to keep doing without seeing the fruit from my work. Because of that, I have to have the mindset of beginning with the end in mind. I think if I work on this habit, I would be able to grow as a person and a leader.

3. first things first.

I always struggle with this. I usually know what is the most important thing for me. I do put the first thing on the top of my plan. However, I get into other things so easily. There is a talk given by Elder Oaks. It is "Good, better, best." I really like this talk. It helps me remember what is the most important thing to me. I am a student, so my first thing would be studying other than hanging out and being in the social meeting. However, studying is boring, so I push this back to my appointment with my friends. After that, I don't have enough time to study. I feel bad because I know this period of time is for me to focus on studying. Because of this reason, I think this habit is something that I need to have in near future.

Personally, I really liked the ideas of 7 habits. Those are something that is really good for everyone to work on. If I have all of those habits, I wouldn't have problems with myself and others as well. When I started to have private victory, it will cause public victory. Also, if you want to have a public victory, you need to prepare yourself, so eventually, you can have the victory. When you master to have these 7 habits, you will be able to distinguish what is good for you or not. I will try to have those habits one by one.

Week 6

Week 6

This week, I was able to study and think about Self-Mastery. I was thinking that why it is so important for me and for my job. When I was in the Army, I had many unfair situations. However, many of them were higher rank than I was, so I was kind of forced to accept those things. If I fought against them, nothing was good for my time in the Army. I kind of learned that controlling my feeling is important from the experiences. If I can control my feeling, I am sure I would be able to get along with many people. Those good relationship could be helpful in the future when you own your business. 

Also, this week reminded me that I have to put the Lord first, no matter what I am doing and what my situation is. I know that the Lord will provide the way to accomplish the work of the Lord. I know that He knows a lot more that I do. He gives me trials because those are something that I need at the moment. It will help me grow.

I was able to watch video talks about the balance between the work and family. My priority has always been family. I don't want my job to affect to my family relation. Without success in family, I can't succeed in my job. I need a support from my family, and in order to do that, I have to do everything for my family to gain support and trust. 

I learned that I have to have many attributes to be an entrepreneur. I have to practice those from now on. The ability is important as an owner, but your relationship skills are bad, no one would want to work with you. It is important to get respect from others. It will motivate you to take care about what you have to do.

Week 5

 week 5

This week I was able to think about what I really want to do in the future. I have not made my decision yet, but I was able to qualify few jobs that I am interested in. Recently, I feel that I came to college without plans. I didn't know what I wanted to do at school. I thought I was able to find my major while I was studying. However, it didn't work. I have to put my efforts to find what I want to do for my future. This week's assignments were able to make me think about it more seriously. 

I listed the things that I am interested, or I might be interested in. Also, I put something that I want to more about. Those things are something that I might want to be doing in the future. I asked people in many different majors about what their majors were like. I found the pros and cons of them. This was something that I did on this week so far. I might have to meet the professors in each major. They would give me better advice. I decided that I want to follow my passion. If I don't follow that, I think I wouldn't be able to enjoy my job. I will explore more about it.

I read "Spreading Happiness." This story was really good. I think she started her business with a good message. It would be very meaningful for those who bought her cards. Because her business getting bigger, she had to make choices. If I were in her situation, it would give me a headache. However, she discussed it with her husband, and she asked for advice. It is a very wise way to decide. It shows that how humble she was, and I always want to be like her. If I have to have a huge decision, I would talk about it with my spouse. I would want her support for my job. However, she still has to make more decisions for herself and her family. It made me think that set the priority is really important. I am grateful that I have the gospel. I know what I need to put first. If I do so, everything will work out fine.

Week 4

One thing that stood out to me the most was "Little things are important." I always acknowledged this, but I forget frequently. Small habit makes a big difference. Because of that, people are saying that starting with a little thing. You can find why a little thing is important from soccer. If you don't know how to pass the ball, you wouldn't be able to score. It means that you won't be able to win the game. If one day, I want to own my business, this little thing would decide either I get to succeed or fail. 

While I was doing the core values statement thing, I was able to recognize that what goals I have for my future. I need to be more specific for my goals to achieve. It reminded me of my mission. My mission president always emphasized setting goals and making plans. I think that was why I was able to succeed on my mission. It was a while ago, I forgot how important it was. However, now, I am trying to set goals for my career. If I don't have goals, I feel like I wouldn't have motivation for my future. 

I feel encouraged to do what I love. My parents want me to do something which I would earn more money even if that is something that I don't want to do. I feel like I work for a job which I don't want, I wouldn't be able to work for a long time. I might quit. However, when I was doing what I loved, I feel motivated to get better at my job. At the same time, I want to earn money as well because this world is hard to live without money. It makes me hard to decide what I am going to do for my career. However, because of this week's study, I know which path I need to take for my future career.

Week 3

 This week I had a lot of reading assignments that kept me so busy. I didn't like it, but I was able to learn a lot from those readings. First of all, I was able to go through the life of Magdalena Yesil. She is a cool lady who experienced a lot about many things. I am surprised by her desire to learn and still want to try doing other things. Her story taught me that learning lasts until the end of my life.

I really like the quote, "True to yourself." Sometimes, I am not honest with myself. When I wasn't true to myself, I lost confidence in myself. I failed on everything. I think it is easier to solve my problems and develop myself when I am true to myself.  I couldn't be honest to others if I am honest to myself. Also, I liked was to say to do what you say you will do. It is a promise between me and others. When I come to keep it then I could be true to others. I think that this is important in marketing. When you lost trust from others, it would give you difficulties in the business.

This week, I was able to learn what kind of business attributes I should have in the future as an entrepreneur. Now I learned it, and I know it. I should work hard to have those attributes throughout my life. It starts from now as a student. I set goals to have those attributes.

1. To be brave to try new thing

-Plan: Asking questions to the professor or TA.

2. To develop leadership

-Plan: to join some social group such as FHE, to lead the meeting or plan the meeting.

3. True to me

-Plan: Study to know who I am, and where I am at this point.

Those three goals are something that I want to work to achieve. I know that those goals can get me out of my comfort zone.
