Will you be the strength to my weakness?

I have to say the mentor session this was the pits. It just seemed to take forever and I felt like I was repeating myself in it and from past mentor sessions.
But I guess when you have similar questions it forces you to think more deeply and reading back you can see whether or not your ideas/desires are actually consistant or if they shift about.
I think it also helped me to be honest about my strengths and weaknesses. Not really stuff I didn't already know but forcing me to put it to "paper" makes it more real and makes me realize that I need to improve a lot and to really use my network to find people to help be the strength to my weakness.

This was a part of Elder Hollands remarks that was really great:

"My concern this morning is that you will face some delays and disappointments at this formative time in your life and feel that no one else in the history of mankind has ever had your problems or faced those difficulties. And when some of those challenges come, you will have the temptation common to us all to say, “This task is too hard. The burden is too heavy. The path is too long.” And so you decide to quit, simply to give up. Now to terminate certain kinds of tasks is not only acceptable but often very wise. If you are, for example, a flagpole sitter then I say, “Come on down.” But in life’s most crucial and telling tasks, my plea is to stick with it, to persevere, to hang in and hang on, and to reap your reward. Or to be slightly more scriptural:

Wherefore, be not weary in well-doing, for ye are laying the foundation of a great work. And out of small things proceedeth that which is great.

Behold, the Lord requireth the heart and a willing mind; and the willing and obedient shall eat the good of the land of Zion in these last days. [D&C 64:33–34]

I am asking you this morning not to give up “for ye are laying the foundation of a great work.” That “great work” is you—your life, your future, the very fulfillment of your dreams. That “great work” is what, with effort and patience and God’s help, you can become. When days are difficult or problems seem unending, I plead with you to stay in the harness and keep pulling. You are entitled to “eat the good of the land of Zion in these last days,” but it will require your heart and a willing mind. It will require that you stay at your post and keep trying." (However Long and Hard the Road, BYU, 1983)

I think that this is really important issues for people my age and younger. Sticking to it. I think the attitude of entitlement is a plague of my generation. That feeling of deserving the rewards and instantly too. We really have a weak work ethic. That's why I like Elder Holland's words. He's reminding me that I need to stick to it and work hard because I'm laying that great work of myself. After all, we can't accomplish much in the world of others if we're not doing anything with ourselves.

I think something else I learned from President Monson's talk was that unity or vision in a business is really important. He talks about the unity of the quorum of the twelve and how they work together to build up the kingdom of God. They have a common goal that they all help each other work to achieve. I think that's important with business partners and employees for greater success.
