What I have learned:

A few of the points I have learned is to trust those you work with, find the passion in creating, learn to feed my correct emotions, and believe and seek for change. Here are some of the details.

Marissa Mayer, License to Pursue Dreams, describes how at Google 20% time is given to employees to work on whatever project they want. According to here review, 50% of Google’s projects came from the 20% time.

Passion and momentum build when skilled employees have access to great tools and the time to stretch them in new directions.

Kathy Hubers talks about how “there is a passion and joy about creating.”

Jim Ritchie: From Woody Woodwards book “Your Emotional Fingerprint”, He tells the story of the Cherokee of two wolves on Evil and One Good, the Evil represents bad emotions while the Good represents to the good ones. The question is asked which one wins and the answer is simple; What you feed grows. He concludes that by validating your emotions allows you to unlock your personal success.

A true entrepreneur seeks growth or change and believes they have the ability to realize goals.


What I have yet to learn:

Of all the lessons I have yet to learn it is this: to become. It's a life long journey, a process, a path, a way of life. I find comfort in the gospel of Jesus Christ because it gives be the motivation to become when all other sources fail. Elder Oaks talked about the Final Judgement being an acknowledgment of what we have become. "Conversion is a change of nature," where the gospel challenges us to do and to become. 

Taylor Richards says "Do not underestimate yourself, it’s not harder to be great than good."
