Mary Caraccioli Interviews John Huntsman

I really loved Jon Huntsman's book Winners Never Cheat Even in Difficult Times. Here is a video of him answering a few questions about the book and his past experiences. I really enjoyed the interview, especially this part.

"When there is fear, anger and frustration, there is a tendency to want to cut corners. There is a great tendency to let stress outreach ourselves. Then we do something very very foolish that we may spend the rest of our life regretting. The way that determines our character and integrity most is when we are under stress. This is a wonderful time in our life to be honorable and straight and ethical in all of our dealing." -Jon Huntsman

I agree, stress causes stupidity often times. If we can develop true character and deep integrity, then no matter how stressed out we are or how difficult circumstances are, we can decided not to cheat. I 100% agree with that that principle. Everyone needs to live there life and make decisions based off of principles, not circumstances.

Entrepreneurs can change the world

I really like this video about Entreprenuerial Spirit. I think it applies directly to what we learned in class from Professor Dave Clark. He taught us about looking for things that are broken and what how we should constantly be aware of things that need to be fixed or can be improved. This video talks a little bit about how "turbulance creates opportunities for success." It teaches that all you need is a single brilliant idea in order to make a difference. It promotes the idea that individuals can make a difference and I definitely agree with that. Just good be aware and observe and come up with ONE brilliant idea.
