The formula for success and happiness

This has been a week of continues learning, and I want to share the most valuables learnings of this week.

I learned a formula for success and happiness proposed by Jim Ritchie, and this formula he learned from his mission president.

I want to share with you every point of his formula, and add my commentaries.

1. Get up early

It is funny that he mentioned this as the first point of the formula, but I had noted the difference between a day when I get earlier or not, and when I get early is because I have a propose for the day, and a plan to learn and success.

2. Work hard

Ezra Taft Benson said: “Work, work, work, there is no satisfactory substitute”. We cannot sit down and wait until success come to us. Work in a fundamental factor in the achievement of our goals.

3. Get your education

This is an elemental step to success. Sometimes argue that there are some examples of successful guys who never got his Bachelor Degree, but education is more than a Degree, education is a conscious analysis of the environment, and use this information count.

4. Find oil

5. Make your mark

I want to add in this point that the best way to make our own mark is through integrity. Everybody trust in an integrity business man, and this a reason because for them is easier to success.

6. Prepare to serve

The pathway to happiness is service. As Mother Teresa said: “Whoever does not live to serve, does not ‘serve’ to live”.

The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch

“Brick walls are there for a reason: they let us prove how badly we want things” Randy Pausch This week, I had the opportunity of watch by first time the video The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch. I found it instructional and motivating, so I will share the YouTube video in this blog. If we analyze the speech of Randy Pausch, we face that he had many dreams in their children as much of us. He wanted to feel 0 gravity, playing football, being a Disney imaginer, etc. But the reason because Randy achieve his childhood dreams was because he taught that all things are possible, and he had the inspiration to make his best effort to accomplish his goals. Something important in the life of Randy is that he didn’t achieve his dreams as was originally written, he discovered that some dreams needed to be modified to be attainable, so he did it. Dreams were important in the life Randy, and in our life because give us an objective. Personally, I admire Martin Luther King because he ...

Last Lecture

This week, my grandmother leave us; she passed away. She was an example of how to become an entrepreneur, she was not the founder of any profit or nonprofit organization, but she left her personal mark in the mind of a big population. What was my grandmother business? My grandmother business was the happiness. She studied nursery, and she learned the necessary skills to care about the health of people, but she had a powerful resource, her most valuable resource was the passion that she had to serve others. How was she a leader? She motivated others to participate in her business. Two weeks ago, she was sick, but she did not want to stay at home, and cry. As she did during her entire life, she got up every morning, and visited the old and disadvantages people in the town, she ministered them individually. Acts like that motivated people around her to become part of the same enterprise: to serve others. She did not die as a rich woman, and she never received a public r...

This week, I had the opportunity to interview an entrepreneur who works in the tourism industry with a travel agency. This experience helped me to learn some basic and universal principles about what define an entrepreneur as successful. During the interview, I learned that he never focused in money or income as a goal, but he focused so much in the following aspects: 1. A happy family is the main goal of any project. 2. An important asset of an entrepreneur is his network. 3. You can measure how good are you manage your business when you are able to leave your business because you are sick or another event, and the business is still running. I learned about the behavior a good entrepreneur that an entrepreneur is always looking for new opportunities of business. A good entrepreneur is not just a people who know how manage effectively his resources, but he knows how raise resources when it is necessary. An entrepreneur is a creative person, a person who don’t fear to mak...
