Blake Mycowskie, the founder of TOMS came to Ball State to speak tonight -- The New Rules for Tomorrow's Business: A Student's Guide to Making a Difference in the World. I want his life.
His business strategy -- (1)giving and (2)incorporating something bigger than yourself. I think that's an exemplary strategy, whether it be for starting a business or in any aspect of life. After I went to DC this summer I had really big life plans. I wasn't quite sure of the details of them, but I knew they were going to be big and they were going to be important. When I started taking classes I started to think about how impractical those plans seemed - I want a family and feel obligated to stay in the country with my family. BUT! When is life ever practical? I don't think God takes into consideration practicality when he maps out your life for you.
I don't really know where my life is going, but I wholeheartedly believe I am on the path I need to be on. My major/minors are hopefully leading me to do great things. I really just want a job where I can help people -- where I can feel good about who I am and how I'm spending my life.
I love getting into these "I want to change the world" moods because it makes me really excited for the rest of my life.
