It is my aim to find pleasure and enjoyment in life by seeking after those things which are good and worth while, that I may gain
knowledge and wisdom with each passing year; to carefully plan my allotted time so that none of it will be wasted; to give my
family the benefits of education, recreation, and travel; to conduct my life in obedience to the Gospel of Jesus Christ; to so manage
my business affairs that I will have an income adequate to provide my family with their wants and the advantages of some of the
finer things in life; and to set aside a portion for investments to provide an income for retirement.
