Week 10

I am at the end of week 10. This week I was able to interview Scott Bloomfield. I was able to learn a lot about what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur. I found it interesting how many failures it can take to lead to success. In order to be a successful entrepreneur, I need to be ready to fail. We also discussed organization of time and staying focused on the goals that we set. I enjoyed the conversation and I hope to be able to mimic some of the habits that he has acquired through his hard work. I also really enjoyed the readings this week. Specifically, the talk by Elder Oaks "The Challenge to Become". I found it interesting how he discussed the difference between having a testimony and being converted. He said, "to testify is to know and declare" but being converted is becoming like Christ. I think my goal as I work every day is to become something more than what I was yesterday. The ultimate goal is to become like Christ but the distance makes that goal difficult to even comprehend. If I can look back at who I was yesterday and see myself as being a little closer to Christ today than I was yesterday then I can truly say that I am becoming like Christ.
