BUS 110 Week 10

This week I learned that not only is it okay to dream big, but working toward our big dreams should be a priority in our lives. It can be easy to get bogged down with life and forget that it is okay to make time for ourselves to work on our dreams. Realistically as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I have the biggest dream in the universe. I believe that by following the Gospel of Christ I can achieve eternal salvation, which leads to celestial glory. In that I will become a God as my Savior and my Heavenly Father. What a massive dream! With that in mind, knowing that I am a divine child of God, why should I think I am either unworthy or underserving of big dreams in life? I'm not. If my goals are worthy ones, and I ask for spiritual guidance from the Lord, then I should be able to accomplishing anything no matter how impossible it seems. That "impossibility" comes from either an inability to see how to achieve my dreams, or from personal doubt (or doubt from others that I allow myself to listen to). With stepping stones in place, and small achievable goals set that lead me inexorably to my "big dream", I shouldn't fail.

This is how I plan on continuing. With the knowledge in mind that it is possible, that I need help from the Lord (as well as anyone else I can get help from), and that I must plan (which includes learning all I can first). Doing this will lead to my success.

BUS 110 Week 11

 In answering the question- What is your attitude toward money?- I have to say that it is pretty complicated. As I learn more with each class leading up to my degree, I think my attitude and views on money change more and more. Years ago I thought that simply having all the money would make all my dreams come true. Now, through education, I've taken a hard look at what it is I really want in life. And yes, having lots more money would make some things easier. The truth is that what I want doesn't actually require all the money. At least not right away. Having more money now could make things go faster, but the reality is I can still accomplish what I want through hard work, research, and especially patience.  A person's view on money can drastically change their life to the point where it becomes an all consuming concept. Something I have tried very hard to do is teach my kids about patience and responsibility. When my oldest wanted to take a vacation to Washington D.C. wit...

BUS 110 Week 12

 I believe that virtue and integrity are important to the economy because trust is needed to grow business. Business drives economy. Without trust in a business it won't work and thus won't contribute to the economy the way it needs to. Whether the general population stops frequenting a certain business (i.e. restaurant, or market, etc.) or refuses to invest in a its future through the stock market, this will impact the economy that is most closely affected by that business. I am reminded of shows like "American Greed" or movies like "The Other Guys" and "Fun with Dick and Jane". The former is documentary style while the latter two are more comedic and satirical, but they all paint a vivid picture of corporate greed that destroys innocent lives and subsequently causes harm to the economy. I myself am hesitant to invest in any business without knowing what kind of values they live up to, not just what they say, but what they actually do. According t...

BUS 110 Week 4

 This week I really took a hard look at who I am and who I want to be. I not only made a realization of what I want out of my life, but a strong argument for my return to school at this point in my life. After doing an assignment that allowed me to confront my fears and come up with ways to mitigate this, I really convinced myself to continue with school. I had a hard time making this decision initially. Going to school had not been a great time for me historically. I completed my Associates Degree immediately after high school and for awhile had not intention of continuing my education, mostly because I wasn't sure what I wanted to do. After suffering some heartache I made the decision to try becoming a pilot. Going to school for that was a unique experience that started out really great. Through years of slow progress, financial setbacks, and trouble with the school and the particular program I was trying to finish, I completed my training feeling less than stellar about the whol...
