Week 3

This week I learned about the story of a successful entrepreneur: Magdalena Yesil. What I like most about her is the habit of lifelong learning she has even since her childhood. Her example has been an answer to my questions. I used to ask frequently about the purpose of spending too much time and money studying. I know it is important to have a higher education, but I did not consider studying more after getting a degree. My parents usually recommend me to take all the opportunities I have to study because in that way I can support my family and help others with my knowledge. Magdalena Yesil did not have it easy, but she never stopped to enjoy each opportunity of learning. This habit also benefited all the people who surrounded her because they learned from her knowledge and were motivated to be like her.

When I hear that the use of a product has been harmful to the society, most of the time it is because the producer cared more about the money than the people.
Elder Lynn G. Robbins said, “What you do to make a living, or how many dollars you earn, aren’t nearly as important to the Lord as whether you:

• 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.”
