Week 11: Changing the World

I had very strong feelings about Mr. Yunus' talk about microlending.  I believe credit can be an amazing opportunity for some.  I also believe credit can become a vice, and an addiction rather than a cure.  I have seen too many use credit for the wrong reasons and end up worse off then they were before they had it. 


I like President Monsons talk.  He opened talking about becoming complacent, which I think is an easy thing to do when life gets "easy" and eveything is going well.  Life becomes a habit and sometimes we fail to recognize all the blessings around us.  I apperciated this quote from 2 Nephi:

“At that day shall [the devil] … lull them away into carnal security, that they will say: All is well in Zion; yea, Zion prospereth, all is well—and thus the devil cheateth their souls.”

I don't want to be complacent with my life, complacent with my faith, or complacent with my family!

I also really enjoyed the Entrepreneurship and Concentration video.  It found it very inspiring.  I keep thinking about this statement and what it means for me: “God left the world unfinished for man to finish… not the ease of finished things… know the joys and glories of creation.”  I think we need to work hard for what we want and stop this life of entitlement!
