Changing the world

I have learned a lot from the speaking of President Monson about the importance of avoiding debt, taking care of the family and about not judging to others, I also learned to love more and be thankful for the things I have

I like the mentor assignment I have taken and the questions I answered helped me see that there is hope for me in the entrepreneurial career, I am an entrepreneur who needs to sharp his work. I am going that way,
Create a community, not just a product, a community, to have a vision on the things you create, make something personal, a vision something compelling, make information accessible. It takes a strong will to create a medicine that destroy smallpox the same will we need to build a new company. From all the things I will or I want to do how much I am prepared to quit when the time comes, I have always learned and knew that whatever I build it is going to be for the glory of God and whatever he wants to do with it. It is something I always try to keep in mind to find the kingdom of God and then do whatever his will is on the way.

Measuring the cost: Life Balance

This week I read the words of President Thomas S. Monson and the formula for success, First fill you mind with truth, In spite of all the knowledge we can acquire, we must always return to the truth of God and bring all the things we learn to the confirmation of the spirit, even scientific knowledge he will guide us to find.
second, fill your life with service: because in helping others it fullfills the fact of knowing things and possess wealthy after all what other purpose could be peaceful for a man a poor man like me when turn rich if not serving the Lord and others?. Fill your heart will love, I may keep my heart the efforts my mom did to keep me alive, When I was born I was diagonesed with Hidrocephalus, she took care of me and I survived. There I found the closest sample of love near to the Love of God for me or in other words the way the Lord love me through the Heart of my mom. Balance your life is challenging, especially when you face many other challenges at the same time, I like the experience of the sheperd in the alchimist while he was traveling in serching for his dreams he got robbed, in his mind "what to think poor me victim of this luck? or Well this is part of the journey, let's embrace it and move forward? I am in a journey and I am taking my family with me. Money is important but we truly need to learn how to live a life where money is a tool but not the end of life. It is vital to be able to tell the difference and live according to it.

Dream big dreams

Loyalty and leadership

Overcoming Challenges

It is 3: 38 am. here in Lima Peru, It is a miracle for me that in spite of the fact of all the challenges we have been facing I have been able to pay my rent, feed my family and buy materials for school now the school year has begun, I am more than thankful to the lord for the blessings, This week I thought the lessons were personally designed for me As I read from president Thomas S. Monson in the reading " looking back and moving forward" " It was said of the Savior that He went about doing good... for God was with him" I have not complained about my challenges but at times it was tiring and sometimes frustrating not being able to do the things I wanted to do. Prayers with my family have helped a lot though.I tried then to be in good shape to help others in spite of my own difficulties. I also found Inspiring the words of Elder Jeffrey R Holland when he cited Winston Churchill in his speech "However Long and Hard the Road" “I would say to the House, as I said to those who have joined this Government: ‘I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat.’“We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask what is our policy? I will say: It is to wage war, by sea, land, and air, with all our might and with all our strength that God can give us: … That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: Victory—victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror; victory, however long and hard the road may be” (Churchill, the Life Triumphant, American Heritage Publishing Co., 1965, p. 90). I will keep moving forward From the e- video I learned to ask the proper question to find the problems that most of the time are humans. I want also to mention that in this part of my life the video "Good things to come" I have watched before, this time has a special meaning and effect. I even shared it on my facebook account and quoted this: "Don't you quit, you keep walking, you keep trying, there is help and happiness ahead, some blessings come soon, some come late, AND SOME DON'T COME TILL HEAVEN, but for those who embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ, They come, it will be alright in the end, TRUST GOD, and believe in good things to come" I feel like this these days. the other thing that helped me a lot was the report I made on mentor session 4. It made me think and be aware about important things that are going to be useful in my entrepreneurial journey.
