My Personal Constitution

Interestingly enough, I did not think much about ethics when I declared my major to be business.  I did not think I would be pondering much about Christlike characteristics and integrity or such things in my studies.  How refreshing attending BYU Idaho is!!  I am loving the optimistic, moral approach to business that our studies have taught the last two weeks.  It makes me want to stand out in my future business endeavors.  I want to be different.  I want to follow in the footsteps of mentors like James Ritchie or Clayton Christenson and be successful, yet Christlike.  They are bold in their beliefs and attribute their success to the Christian way they live their lives.  Family is important.  Religion is important.  They let that be known.  I want to be a humble example as I pursue my business dreams. I liked what I read from Elder Christensen in the Harvard Business Review  that people should "keep the purpose of their lives front and center as they decided how to spend their time, talents, and energy."  The purpose of my life is to return to my Heavenly Father.
