These are notes from a church talk I attended. The talk referenced Thomas Monson talk said in1989. Any misinformation is the fault of the note taker.

– Found a furniture store. See sign finishers wanted. A finisher of wood, make wood look nice.
– In life and business, there are always need of finishers.
– Are we going to fail or finish this mortal life?
– There are
– Six points that is crucial to become finishers.
– 1. Mark of Vison. The door of history turns on small hinges and so do people’s lives. The little decisions can turn on a hinge and can influence our lives for good or bad. We need a vision of where we go and shoot for going
– 2. Mark of effort. A vision without effort is daydreaming.
– 3. Mark of faith. Faith can move mountains. By faith we can see the lord’s face.
– 4. Mark of virtue D&C 121:45 let virtue dominate your thoughts continually. There are a lot of vile content to be careful of. Let virtues garnish your thoughts

– 5. Marks of courage. To reach the unreachable star will make us become better.
– To dream … the impossible dream …
– To fight … the unbeatable foe …
– To bear … with unbearable sorrow …
– To run … where the brave dare not go …
– To right … the unrightable wrong …
– To love … pure and chaste from afar …
– To try … when your arms are too weary …
– To reach … the unreachable star …
– 6. The mark of prayer. Prayers open the doors to heaven. The Lord knows what we need. We need to open our mouths. He cannot help us because we’re not providing our part. Our words are powerful. Our words can become powerful if we believe it and act on it.
– As we put forth our effort, we will make a change in our communities and ourselves.
My two cents:
When I think of finishers wanted I think of the firemen and police who ran toward the two towers on 911 to save people.
I think if single mothers who work during the day and raise their children to be the best they can be.
There are also some pretty nifty charity organizations
I think of fathers who support their families.
There are also various volunteers who donate their time freely to help a cause.
I think of people who are in the service industry to serve people.
