Honesty and Business Ethics

  This week I had a lot of works to do and many trips. Besides busy schedules, I also have a lot to read during the week. I almost give up my study but at least I want to continue another week. It is a difficult week. It is the week that my lesson is about honesty and business ethics. So, I must be honest and have ethics in my learning. My first impressive material was about Making a Living and a Life by Elder Lynn G. Robbins. His talk is so good that I must listen and then read the script so that it is easy for me to take note for future reference. During my travel this week, I shared the content of this talk with my colleague along the way. What still rings my ear is that Satan has more and more grounds to do this works. People are more competitive, dishonest, and comparative in life and more greedy in many dealing. People are not so much concerned about having enough but more about having more than the neighbors.

Overcoming Obstacles to Prove Commitments

Randy Pausch  was able to achieve his childhood dream because h is parents let him dream.  He has a mindset of believing that people will be positive to him when he give them enough time.

I felt peace and pride of my country.  The only thing I can remember is about being calm, and having a decent life. I have never dreamed about being a rich person, famous politicians or religious leader.  Recently, I started...
My Learning Experiences From this Week I am currently taking "The Introduction to Entrepreneur" course. This course is not to help me prepare a business plan. However, it will help me explore about me and prepare my personal plan before any business plan.  This is a startup of me where I will know how to explore my calling, how to create meaning and how to measure my success.  Life will have a lot of twists and turns and sometimes failures. I am committed to have the courage and commitment to get up and move on when I fail. I can get up because I will have the strength from my instructions, videos, case studies, and other books (my friends).  This course will help me know what I need to know, skills I need to attain and changes I need to make. Most importantly, there will be guides where I know how to navigate my journey independently and collectively.  Here are the things that I learn from my reading this week:  Elder David A. Bednar:  We must be faithful ...
