My Life #8

HOLA! it is true I am starting to learn Spanish... not really but I would like to some day.

School was pretty good this week I finished a bunch of the things that I needed to do. The only thing that I have left is some biology and a MASSIVE group project for my MCOM class. MCOM has been an interesting class. I have learned a lot of practical things but I am glad that I have the book and will keep it. The class has so much information but I am officially a great typist, and writer now. My class with be presenting on Walmart. I love Walmart. Meghan and I go there often to get little things we need or buy some food. We just went down there and bought some things for our shower. I didn't know that you could get pretty much anything at Walmart.
However in our group project we are basically trying to sell ourselves to the Walmart board of directors as a consulting group and are going to fix a few issues that Walmart is having. 1. customer service 2. poor management and 3. Walmart.com. These things we found are causing a lot of stir online and we are working to find a solution

SO WHAT? I have learned some things about running a company while I have been doing research and noticed that large corporations really struggle with these type of things.

NOW WHAT? I don't know if I every want to run a company but I know how to make one work, and get better. First all of the people that work for you must be qualified to handle the most simple of tasks. Second, those that are in charge, must be willing to operate at a high level, and be willing to help anyone with any problem that they have. When they do that it shows why they are in charge. Third this is very simple, get a website that is user friendly and keep it that way.

Man I do love Walmart

My Life Post #7

Well LIFE IS SO GOOD! I love it my wife is beautiful and I could not be happier with the things that are going on. As I have mention I did not want to come back to school, HOWEVER I did. My teachers have been so helpful with everything so that I could get back in and back on track to accomplishing my ending goal, which is GRADUATION!! I got a final notice yesterday via email letting me know that I would be graduating. I am really happy about that and cannot wait until it is over. However I will continue to pursue a greater education in grad school or something else I do not know.

In preparation for school this week I have A LOT of projects due, not to mention I have tests next week. What do I do. In preparation for this upcoming week I cannot but help to feel a little stressed out with the things that are going on. I have so much to DO!!!! It is interesting to note, that I only feel this way when I am by myself or at school. My lovely wife Meghan helps me all the other hours of the day and when I am with her, well I only think about her. Man I love it! See I am already getting distracted and not able to write. Stress...

SO WHAT?  I recently learned in biology that your body actually needs stress to function at a high capacity. Although it is not good for your body, it naturally gets rid of it while you sleep ( that is why sleep for 8 hours is so important.) Stress has kept me motivated to get all of the things done that I must do. I must not tell myself what I can and can't do... but just trust in myself that I will be able to get it done.

NOW WHAT? Well when I was in my own personal scripture study this last week, I came across something that I thought was interesting. Paul is preaching to the saints, and he is not telling them what they can and cannot do. He TELLS them exactly what to do, and how to be successful. Paul UNDERSTOOD that he could not waste his life telling the Lord that he could only do so much, but he told the Lord that he could accomplish anything that he told him to do because he believed and had FAITH. I then went on to think about faith, and came across a quote by the Prophet Joseph Smith concerning faith. " Faith is your willingness to ACT and DO the things that Christ wants for you." Faith is an action and I must DO. No matter what the STRESS of my life may be, God created my body to function in away that I can succeed, and he has given the best "ENERGY" source for me to latch on to, so that I can accomplish everything!

Below is a link to a blog that has given me strength and shown me how I can do better than I am doing.

My Life #6

Well I am married!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! call me Mr. Palmer and my wife Mrs. Palmer!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so freaking awesome!!!! Well at least I feel like that and that is totally because of my wonderful wife Meghan! I am thinking about my life and thinking how blessed I am. So far it has been the best week of my life.... I just think how can marriage get even better? Now I know that there are many things to come and the blessings will be SWEET. Also I am coming up on finding out whether or not I will be hired as a full-time teacher for seminary! This has been a great and wonderful experience for me, and I am really grateful for it whether I get hired or not. The blessings have been wonderful and have helped change me into becoming a better man.

SO WHAT???? So what? That is an interesting question I think. I am just so energized, and so happy with the life that I am living. My wife is making me so much better and I am just so grateful for her and everything that she does for me. What does this mean for me? It means that I will only become a better person and will continue down the path. All I can do is wait for my time to come and know that it is what is right and that God is in control.

NOW WHAT? Patience is a virtue. That is what they say anyway. This is a lesson that I have been having to learn my entire life. From the time I was young learning how to ride a bike, to high school competing for a position in football, learning Korean, and learning that dating my wife for over a year was worth it. I am eager for the changes that are coming in my life. If I am to learn and change from the lessons now, it will bless me for the future. I am the creator, not the creature.

PS: I HATE KESHA

My LIFE #5

Sweet goodness. What a crazy bunch of couple weeks. I really am interested in how my life is going to end up. Just got word that it is now finally official that I will be graduating from BYU. However I think to myself, " How is it all going to work out?" I seems to notice that I think that a lot. Where will I go? What will I do? What do I even really want to do? It seems to weigh down on me now more than ever. I think it is because I am getting MARRIED in a week. I want to be able to provide so that Meghan will always be comfortable and not have to worry about what we do and money and all that jazz. I have to really just believe the words that are found in the 84 sections of the Doctrine and Covenants.

I am just about to finish my next round of exams. Biology is out of the way and I did average, and will the curve will get a solid C. I really like Biology and understand the concepts very well, however put it into a multiple choice test..... BAM I don't know what to do.

SO WHAT?
I have come to the conclusion that I do not need to judge myself based on the final score of the test. I need to better just judge the outcomes of my class and see if I really understand that concepts. That way I am more able to teach and learn for myself.

NOW WHAT?
With school coming to an end and thinking about my future I have began to look at masters programs all over the US. It has been kind of a cool thing to look and explore the options that I have for the future. As far as school is concerned, all I need to do is have a little faith and a little prayer in my heart and know that I can only do so much and God will have to make up the rest. In doing that however I will be able to under stand and accomplish the rest of the tasks I have!

 LIFE IS ALMOST AS BEAUTIFUL AS MY WIFE!!!
