W07 - Journal Post

     This has been an interesting week...  My work week has been full of odd ordeals, things that I don't normally deal with.  One of the main things was dealing with an individual had come to work reeking of alcohol.  As you could imagine, this created a very awkward situation in which the individual had to be escorted off the premises.

    As for the materials we were given this week to read, I enjoyed the principles from Steven R Covey - 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.  As I read through these, I couldn't help but think of the story of Enos from the Book of Mormon.  In the one chapter, we read how he prayed to be forgiven and then he eventually started to pray for others once he got himself figured out.  The 7 Habits pretty much follow that same principle.  The 1st 3 habits deal with working on yourself, the next 3 you're working to help others.  That last habit, to me, feels like you're working on "enduring to the end" - working each day to continually improve in all that you do.  I eventually want to read the entire book by Covey - it will definitely be on my to do list for my personal development.

    I had planned to to catch up on some homework today (Saturday), but life to a huge turn and I haven't been able to finish what I had planned.  I'm planning on writing my instructor to see if there's a possibility to turn in some late work.  

   Other than that, I'm just trying to move on learning as much as I can!
