On tuesday February 10th, 2009, we had a guest speaker in our NMC 301 course. Her name is Lindsay Schnell; a current NMC student at Oregon State that has a passion for sports and journalism (writing). She has been recognize for her good and hard work from many magazine and newspaper companies. She is now doing some work with The Oregonian and has experienced working with the magazine Sports Illustrated through an internship.
During the talk she told us that we needed to be severly passionate about what we wanted to do in life, she added that this is the way to succeed at what you want to in life. When you are passionate about something you will do whatever it takes to accomplish it, you will need to work hard and sacrifice many things.
She talked about a quote that made a lot of sense in my head; "dream big, work harder" I beleive that if you want to reach your dreams you better give it all you have. This is the reason I enjoyed listening to Lindsay speak. Everything she said was very true and got along very well to the way I see things in life, I think we can all learn from her and keep working hard.
