An Attitude of Gratitude – Thomas S. Monson
“Through divine intervention, those who were lepers were spared from a cruel, lingering death and given a new lease on life. The expressed gratitude by one merited the Master’s blessing, the ingratitude shown by the nine, His disappointment.
Like the leprosy of yesteryear are the plagues of today. They linger; they debilitate; they destroy. They are to be found everywhere. Their pervasiveness knows no boundaries. We know them as selfishness, greed, indulgence, cruelty, and crime, to identify but a few. Surfeited with their poison, we tend to criticize, to complain, to blame, and, slowly but surely, to abandon the positives and adopt the negatives of life.”
What Is Entrepreneurship?

The pursuit of opportunities is the essence of entrepreneurship. We define an opportunity as a future state that is both desirable and achievable. We also make a distinction among ideas, possibilities, and opportunities. The process of identifying and exploiting entrepreneurial opportunities begins with an idea that addresses some societal need. The entrepreneur must first check the idea for economic feasibility and, once satisfied that it is a realistic possibility, for the idea’s “fit” with his or her situation and plans. Only then can the entrepreneur be reasonably confident that this is the right opportunity to pursue at this time.

Randy Haykin Assignment

I enjoyed the part that says: "I think my strength in leadership comes from having a vision and ability to recognize potential ideas and companies before the others."

Very good this example, we can learn a lot from him. In my opinion Randy sought what he wanted, took advantage of the opportunities that appear and one thing that caught our attention was that he had a vision of making good contacts, this gave you good business. Many people overlook this part of the business, who can find themselves, I think is a great skill people who know how to make good friendships and that good professional contacts as well.

L12: Entrepeneurial Journal

Based on what you read in the first two pages (pages 3 and 4), why are virtue and integrity so vital to an economy? Not everyone is so complacent. Markets rely on rules and laws, but those rules and laws in turn depend on truth and trust. Conceal truth or erode trust, and the game becomes so unreliable that no one will want to play. Virtue and integrity are the bases of trust. We cannot trust the man or woman who lacks morals or is unwilling to live up to the morals he or she claims to espouse. Interestingly, Handy says that markets rely on rules and laws that depend on truth and trust; I would argue that if all men and women had virtue and integrity, rules and laws would be unnecessary. Trust, in particular, is important to a free market. I am more likely to spend if I trust a merchant; I am more likely to spend if I feel secure; I am more likely to embark on an endeavor if I trust I will not be cheated. Without virtue and integrity, that trust diminishes, money stops moving...

Growth Mindset

  This life is a life of learning, constant learning, and in this days I have learned many things, and especially that this life is full of challenges, mistakes, either because of our fault or the fault of others that affect us. We will always be afraid of being able to go further, beyond our strengths and limits. Many people lack confidence and faith to be able to do things for themselves, think that the world and opportunities are made for special people, rich people, different social status or different skin color. We live in our own perjury to think what people will say .   Many people don't undertand our divine   potential and the ability we have to do great things. Today watching a video and reading an article by Carol Dweck confirmed everything I had always believed, and I am going to take some of your words: "A growth mindset is not just about effort." Perhaps the most common misconception is simply equating the growth mindset with effort Certainly, effor...

ENTREPRENEURIAL JOURNAL - LESSON 3

This lesson helps me to be able to apply the virtue of integrity, no matter the circumstance, place or time. Money is not bad, the bad thing is being able to love money above all things. Our heavenly father does not care how much money one has, if not how we can serve others, there are 3 specific things:   Are building His kingdom including strong and valiant families. Are honest in your dealings with your fellowmen and using your God-given talents in their service;  and if you are filling your life with good works, that positively impact your community and world. I always want to keep myself in Grade A, I pray to my heavenly father never to get away from the iron bar. When I was 26 years old, I was part of a company, as a founding partner. This company was engaged in sales of internet, telephones and cable channels. We start selling well, and doing the right things, then we start billing each month between 50,000 to 70,000 sol...
