17. The cool part of business

 What I think is most appealing about perusing the business path is the ability to do good to those around me. One of the common themes that I saw throughout my business management class is that the speakers that had the most alluring and attractive attributes placed their highest values on doing good to all that they could. They found joy in being charitable. They focused on helping customers have a good experience. They focused on helping their employees be the best citizens, fathers, mothers, grandmothers, and grandfathers, husbands, and wives that they could be. Being an entrepreneur seems to make that field of influence the widest.

Another aspect of business that just pulls me towards it is the working with people inside my own company or team to do more. Inspiring others might be the hardest thing that there is, but also the most gratifying. I think it is cool to to make another realize their own talents and abilities. To be able to have the vision to see in another what they themselves cannot see—that is quality worth having.

That being said, I'm not sure that I really love being a salesman. Maybe I do,  I can't really tell yet. And I might really love going in to do something in Engineering. I Also think that it would be cool to major in English. Weirdly enough, that sounds fun to me. Ok it doesn’t really sound fun, but being good at writing and communicating is attractive to me, and I feel as thought that goes in accordance with my patriarchal blessing a little better than a lot of things. From there I would like to get my MBA. Why? I’m not really sure, but at least that opens up a lot more of the business world to me, which is still intriguing. Getting my MBA also  leaves my options for going into law if if want. Where did law come from? The only reason I say that because I think that it would be fun, always learning in a lot of depth about something different all of the time. I have a passion for learning new things.

It is a scrambled and unsure plan, but it is what is going through Gabe's mind.
