Grit
I am in the top Accounting program in the nation. Did my smarts get me here? No. I got here because of my hard work and determination. When I set a goal, I reach that goal. I know that I can do anything the smartest person in the world can do. Why? Because I can work twice as hard as they do and get the same result. It is by my gritty personality I have become the man I am today.
Obedience
According to my belief of the Gospel of Jesus Christ I live my life by one word. Obedience. I may not be the most smart and sophisticated individual. However, I know that if I am obedient to the commandments God has given us here on this earth, my God will direct me in the path I should go, and will bless me.
Logical
I am in my graduate studies here at Brigham Young University. I am studying Accounting. If any one knows an accountant, we are not the most creative individuals. We like facts and things that make sense. Having this said, I like things that are clear and understandable. I am not one who likes to get caught up in theories, I am one who likes to base my belief on facts.
Budgeter
I live my life around budgets. Budgets are how I feel in control of myself. I like order and stability, and having a budget is a perfect way to keep both of these. I set goals, and having a budget helps me hit my goals. I like to see my future as one where I have planned out and am financially prepared. That is why I live off of budgets. As I start now and investing my resources, I am able to prepare for the future.
I think what you said about facts is interesting. There is something quite satisfying about knowing something beyond all argument--and numbers are good at proving things beyond argument! That said, there are lots of facts and truths that we can't get at with numbers, so it looks like we'll have to sift through those theories, too, to find them.
ReplyDeleteI like your comment about grit, too, and how it relates to your point about obedience and God's blessings. There's something to be said for knowing that we can work hard to "earn" blessings, but at the end of the day we must sit back and realise that they come from God and He alone makes them all possible!

I like what you said about obedience. Obedience is so important in this life and to prepare us for the next. Our success in this life depends on how we are obedient to the commandments and laws we are taught. I also like how determined you are. That trait will be a huge blessing in your life.
