3-4

In Maxwell's laws 3&4, we discuss how leadership is a process and how you must have direction (navigation). Just like anything else in life, leaders aren't made in just one day, it's a process. Maxwell compared it to investing in the stock market: no good stock trader becomes/hopes to become rich over night. They understand that you're in it for the long run and have good faith that in the end, everything will be better. On a personal level, I can tie it to school. Nobody enjoys coming to school for 6 hours a day sitting in classes that you most likely will never use in life *cough Calc, world history, art etc. Cough* but you know by coming to these classes, you'll become a well rounded individual. Same rule applies when studying for these classes. You can't learn the entire semester the night before the final. You must be a good student the entire semester in order to receive a good grade.

In law 4, we learn the law of navigation. This law is so important, it may just save your life. Basically the law of navigation states you need a plan for what it is that your doing, other wise you can expect a rough road ahead of you. "If you fail to plan, plan to fail." -Dr. Joseph maxwell. In my life the law of navigation can relate to my college expierence. I will be in an accelerated program for PT (which is a fancy way of saying I will have a doctoral degree in physical therapy in 6 years instead of 8), in addition to being on the basketball team. If I have no direction with my daily schedule, college will surely be a rough time for me. But if I apply the law of navigation and plan my days ahead and manage my time accordingly, things will be just fine.
