Journal Entry 11

 This week we watched videos called: Is Work/Life Balance Possible, Balancing Your Life and Your Career Successfully, Hero's Journey Corey Bell, Financial Fitness, and Surviving the Entrepreneurial Life: Work and Family. I loved listening to these videos and gaining insight from lots of different angles. Some articles we read were: Formula for Success, Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, and Attitude of Money. These were also interesting and game me perspectives I had never thought of before. In Attitude on Money it reads: "Let's talk about money: how to get it and what to do with it. To do that, I need to show you my two prescription glasses. This pair looks almost like clear glass, so it appears that if someone looks out of these they should see everything perfectly. However even these clear glasses distort the way I see things. When I look at your faces without the glasses, you are all fuzzy, especially after about row three. With these regular glasses, my vision is distorted, however in a good way. I can now see your faces clearly. And what a bunch of good looking students you are up here in Idaho, not like those less good looking ones down in Utah…nevermind, I better not go there. If I put on these other glasses, I can not only still see you clearly, but it changes the way you look. Why? Because in these glasses there is a filter - it alters the way things appear. As I look through these glasses your faces appear dark….we all have filters on our minds which change the way we “see” things.” I really liked that they said all of that because we totally have filters in our minds and the thing is, everybody has a different filter that changes what we “see”.
