Think Big, Lecture Series. Taylor Richards, owner of Taylor’s boats, talks about what it means to think Big. He talks about how they worked really hard and were really excited and proud of themselves for making the top 100 dealers in America. They ended up being the 11th overall in North America. The second year, they were the 6th overall. Which was way above anything they expected. They were a team that had worked really hard and well together. What he really emphasized with his story, and how he was just a normal, average person, is not to over- or underestimate yourself! You can do it! You can accomplish the goals and the dreams that you set. And if you involve the Lord, you can do the impossible, you can do amazing things. You can do great things. And it’s a whole lot more fun to do great things than to just be good or to just be mediocre. And it’s no harder to be great than to be good. I agree that when thinking big, it is important not to second-guess yourself all the time, and really to involve the lord in the process. The Lord likes effort more than idleness, so if you are diligent in including him in your plans, and those plans aren’t of ill will, then I believe he will want to see us succeed and will help us find a way to. Dallin H. Oaks, in his talk, The Challenge to Become, says, “ What is important in the end is what we have become by our labors.” I believe that if we are including the Lord in our choices at work, we will be able to stay on a more ethical path, which will help us retain our personal integrity without being swayed. As we do this while we Think Big, he will reward us.
