Week 4

This week I have started the book Mastery.  I love how our classes have material that have not only a scholastic application but also builds us spiritually.  I know that there are going to some very valuable lessons contained in this book that are going to help me in many aspects of my life.

It takes 10,000 hours to master a skill. That’s three hours a day of practice, every day, for ten years. I knew a lot more people with raw, unused talent than I did people with the dedication and perseverance that are critical for entrepreneurial success.

The used car tycoon agreed, “Entrepreneurial success isn’t about money; it’s about

freedom. The goal isn’t to make more than you need, it’s to spend less than you make. Because that way your free time belongs to you.”

“You can be the luckiest person on earth,” another added, “but when luck comes to someone who is unprepared or lacking in character, or sees money as the most important thing in life, nothing good ever comes of it.”

At the first press conference when President Gordon B. Hinckley was introduced to the press as the President of the Church in 1995, he was asked what his focus would be. He answered: “Carry on. Yes. Our theme will be to carry on the great work which has been furthered by our predecessors.” 7 This is a great theme for all of us. We need to carry on and endure to the end.
