Even though
I have to write the knowledge I have gathered in this course, I am going to
allow myself to mingle what I learned in other courses that can be easily
linked to entrepreneurship. This time I will join what I learned in Sales and
Business and that is to start to “act as if…”, and that is acting from now like
the person who I want to become, and in a way, that is one the main purposes of
this course, to discover myself and see what my calling is, and even though I
might be quite far from that goal I need to start to think and act as I was
already in that position. This is the mindset of achievers, the ones who
establish a goal, and do their best to reach it and succeed where failing is
not an option. Now, I wonder what it would be of the world if Edison quitted
after just “some” tries, or any other entrepreneur. It is totally evident that
the great things in human history were made by these types of men. Inventions,
discoveries, wars won, championships and titles in sport games and so on.
Moments where they put their whole soul to their personal goal, a goal which is
part of the process of finding their calling and then magnifying it. So, in the
end, I see finding my calling will not only do good to myself, but also, and
most importantly to the people around me, as part of my service by imitating
the example of all these great people.
Now, I will
proceed to answer the questions:
·
Why
do you think Randy Pausch was able to achieve so many of his childhood dreams?
I think
there is more than just one reason. One of them was his imagination and how he
allowed himself to let his mind to be free. Another reason is his parents. They
never placed any difficulty to his way of thinking, quite the contrary; they
always foster in him the spirit of discovering.
·
Do
you feel that dreaming is important? Why or why not?
Of course,
I believe that dreaming is when your draw the outline for your life, it gives
you the reason to leave the bed every morning and a purpose in life.
·
Discuss
at least one of your childhood dreams. Explain why you believe you can or
cannot achieve this dream.
During my
childhood and even my teenage years, like most of the people at that age, I
wanted to be or a soccer player or guitar player in a rock band. Of course, I
can not achieve them, and I am happy for not doing it because they way most of
these people live is really far away from the Church standards, like, for
naming just one situation, church attendance would dramatically decrease, causing
me to lose the sight for the most important goal, exaltation with my eternal
family. Now, that I have grown up the lesson I get from that is all of our
goals must be in line all together. If one goal will not help me to achieve
another goal, I need to review them and see which one is more important to get
rid of the less one.
