You don't know everything, but just keep going

There were a couple of key topics from this week’s lesson that really stuck out to me; one from Elder Holland’s talk excerpt called “Good things to Come” and one from the Acton Hero video series which featured Heath Bradley.

Elder Holland gave some great advice that I couldn't help but associate with and feel that I will continue to need in future years. I have a young family with a wife, a two year-old boy and little girl due in 4 months. I am trying to finish up school and excel at a full-time job in marketing. I do love the life that I have and feel incredibly blessed, but sometimes I can’t help but feel like I’m driving Elder Holland’s old car whose radiator keeps blowing. It can be hard to see the future and the wonderful things that are in store for my family. His words, “Don’t you stop. Just keep walking” really were straight to me.

The piece that I really enjoyed from Mr. Bradley’s interview was the part about coming down off the roof. He had gotten into some trouble as a 12 year-old and his mother sent him up there to fix the leaky roof. He had no idea how to fix a roof and didn't know what to do. He eventually saw that he needed to come down off of that roof to get help from someone else. He went on to talk about the fact that an entrepreneur needs to stop being concerned about looking silly for asking a simple question and just ask! You don’t have to be the expert on every topic; you can surround yourself with knowledgeable people who can help you make decisions. He finished the thought by saying, “Life is about the amount of knowledge you can gain, not the amount you can give.” I think that’s really good advice. Always be learning.
