This week, I spent some time thinking about Stephen Gibson's "Attitude on Money" article, and it made me reflect on my own views about money and how they affect my life. Gibson talks about money not being good or bad but just a tool. A tool that shows who we really are. This makes sense to me: money itself is neutral, and how we use it can lead to different outcomes. It can be used to help others and do good, or it can be used for selfish reasons and chasing material things. My attitude toward money is practical, but I also understand its deeper impact. To me, money is a resource that helps me take care of my family and reach meaningful goals. But I know there's a danger in focusing too much on money. It can mess up our priorities. I try to focus on what money can help me do, like serving others, making memories with my loved ones, and investing in projects that match my values, rather than seeing money as the goal itself. This way of looking at money affects how I li...

This week has been really eye-opening for me. A big takeaway from the "Dream Big Dreams" readings and videos was the idea of not holding back and allowing myself to think bigger. It reminded me that the only real limits are the ones I set for myself. As I keep working towards making YouTube my main focus, it’s exciting to think about what's possible if I just go for it. Taylor Richards’ story about his boat dealership was really inspiring. He aimed to be in the top 100 dealers in North America but ended up at number 11. What struck me most was that he didn’t stop there. He kept pushing for more. It’s a great reminder to not settle and to keep reaching for the next big thing, even when you've already hit a big milestone. Growth is about always pushing yourself a bit further, which I want to keep in mind as I move forward. I also liked Marissa Mayer's talk about Google’s "20 percent time." It’s this idea that giving people some freedom to work on whateve...

This week, I learned a lot about what it means to be a good leader, especially from a gospel perspective. The readings and videos focused on the importance of leading with humility, serving others, and staying true to good values. One of the key ideas that stood out to me was " Leadership with a Small 'L '" from President Kim B. Clark. He talked about leading like Jesus Christ by serving, setting a good example, and showing love. This type of leadership is not about being in charge or getting recognition; it's about genuinely helping others and lifting them up. In my roles at church, I want to make sure I'm leading like this—caring more about the people I serve than anything else. Another idea that hit home was Carly Fiorina’s point that leadership is about being capable , working well with others, and having strong character. She emphasized asking the right questions and focusing on teamwork. This made me think about how to be more curious and supportive, bot...

 This week, I focused on overcoming tough times. The stories and lessons hit home about staying strong and not giving up. One of the stories that stood out to me was Jeffrey R. Holland's " Good Things to Come ." It was about a young dad whose car kept breaking down, and he had to keep walking for help. It reminded me of times when things just kept going wrong, and I felt like giving up. Elder Holland's message to "keep walking" helped me see that even when things are rough, I need to keep going because things will get better eventually. The " Five Whys " video by Eric Ries was also interesting. He talked about how, when something goes wrong, we should dig deeper to find the real reason behind it—usually, it’s a human issue, not just a technical one. This made me think about how I handle problems. Instead of fixing the surface, I need to understand what caused it. It’s a reminder to keep improving things bit by bit, which I can use in both my work a...
