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.

My next impression is the article “True Blue, Through and Through” by Sheri L. Dew which I love about the integrity. It can be compromised by a small crack or shall rust.

Another impression is the 10 Must Have For a Start-up. All the points are interesting but I love a few points such as comfortable furniture, supporting family, teddy bear pride, partners…. I am thankful that my family is strongly supportive to me. I need to earn other 9 points.

My last but not least interesting point is the formula for success taught in Lesson 2: “The Formula and Happiness”. I learned 3 points from J. Paul Getty and 3 points from Elder Haight.

  • 1.       Get up early;
  • 2.       Work hard;
  • 3.       Get your education, get trained;
  • 4.       Find your oil;
  • 5.       Make your mark;
  • 6.       Serve or give back

I am looking forward to learning more from the experiences of other people.

My Most Meaningful Habit: Begin with the End in Mind

  Out of the seven habits of highly effective people, my most meaningful habit it “Begin with the End in Mind”. The book reads “ There’s a mental or first creation, and a physical or second creation. The first creation can be either by conscious design, or as a result of outside pressures. In real life, w hen the artist draws something, he already has a clear picture of what he is drawing. It is not possible that he draws when he is thinking about what to draw. If I have a clear vision of my destination, my efforts would be more effective and productive in my daily activities. When we begin with the end in mind, our lives cam be more meaningful and stay on the righteous personal constitution. The book explains that a personal constitution is a written standard, the key criterion by which everything is evaluated and direct. Personal constitution shows the end state in mind. It shows who we are, what we do and what valued we are based on. Without it, we will wander around back and ...

Gratitude, Lifelong Learning, Hurdles of the Enterprepreneur and the Risks

  This is week 13 of the course of Introduction to the Entrepenurship. This week my Church leader taught about the gratitude. We should reflect and thanks those who have been helpful to us such as father, mother, teacher, friends, and especially God. After that I had to answer questions for my assignment. Question: How did being a lifelong learner benefit Haykin's career? How could it benefit yours? My Answer:  Kaykin is a lifelong learner and his lifelong learning benefits so much to his career. He went to study at Harvard Business School. He focused on entrepreneurship and technology. His professors persuaded him to get experience in sales and dealing with customers so that he would become a leader someday, and he took the advice. He learned from his responsibilities as a Multimedia Developer Program manager. He had to do many tasks starting from development until product delivery and to work with many people. He learned to notice extra opportunities.  He learned a...
