I have more than enough work to keep me busy 24 hours day for the next several months, but if there's one thing I learned last semester, it's this: A little time to reflect, relax, and simply think renews my enthusiasm for my work and sends my productivity skyrocketing.
So before I start the two papers I will write this afternoon, I want to share a few words of wisdom that I
heard yesterday during Jon Acuff's visit to Belmont. Jon is the guy who started a blog called Stuff Christians Like - a hilarious spin-off of the comical Stuff White People Like blog. But beyond making a name for himself in the blog world (Belmont's write-up of the event stated that Jon's blog is read by "2 million people in over 97 percent of the countries in the world"), Jon has authored a few books and honed his talent for public speaking. He was brought to campus this week by Belmont's Center for Entrepreneurship to speak on Five Lies Entrepreneurs Should Ignore for Success.
I was laughing too hard to write down or remember all five of the "lies", but there were certainly a few points that stuck out for me.
