week 5: High quality

Studying this week in my career at BYU Idaho I have read the story of a woman named Ericka Mills who started a business about business cards and something that caught my attention was the desire of do the cards with high quality and made think that people prefer quality instead quantity, but if we want to progress in the market we have to develop both in order to be competitive. Somewhere I learned that late or early the discipline will overcome the intelligence. About discipline I have to talk about how discipline allows us to practice our gifts.

Watching a speech by Brian Carter a recognized teacher in my college, he was talking about a few clues that we can apply and something that was explained clearly to me is that there are moments that change our life and is our duty to find them. Is like a component that complement our formula of success and it is finding a strong reason to change the world, becoming good in something and struggling each day for be the best in what we enjoy. So in this case is important the kind of people we are surrounded and I don´t want to be misunderstanding with discrimination but is a fact that we are an average of our best friends and this is why all have to be care with the friends we choose, something I have heard several times is that the friends are something like the family that you can choose. So always try to choose your friends pondering in this person. 

At the same time we can´t be arrogant with people and this don´t mean that we have to be with anger face all time is just who we are trusting more because a good leader must to win the attention and a certain respect. I will refer in someone like example and he is Barack Obama, by the way I am not an American citizen, he is a good speaker and anyone have doubts about it. The way he obtained the presidency is with diligence or in other words discipline applying in the gifts he has. I don´t know about his administration in the government but if he desire can win another time. Let´s surround us with good friends and develop out gifts in order to become the best in what we are doing and don´t forget to look for the advice or someone skilled in this issues and is better if he or she is our friend. If we can´t find the quality in the advises so let´s read the life of people that changed the world such as Martin Luther King, Teresa of Calcutta or someone who have changed the world because is what we going to imitate and I am sure that we can become friends of them through their books and biographies.
