Ever heard a talk/read a book/had a conversation with someone/saw something that changed your perspective on something dramatically and forever? I love these experiences, even if they just change something for me in a small way. For this reason, I appreciate Elder Oaks' talk in the recent priesthood session, and it got me thinking about other talks that have shifted/corrected/changed my views on certain truths. So here's my short list:
All of Elder Scott's teachings on learning by the Spirit (most of which I think I've heard in person, so I'm just linking the latest one from a recent conference)
Elder Ballard's talk on balance and serving in the church
Elder Oaks' talk on how the priesthood operates in the home vs. the church
Elder Bednar's series of talks on prayer
And a lot more about the Savior, but I'm too lazy to remember all of them. If I've ever wanted comments, it would be on this post. I'd love to have my perspective broadened by your pointing me to something that broadened yours.

Some favorite thoughts
"When you meet someone, treat them as if they were in serious trouble, and you will be right more than half the time." - quoted by President Eyring
"You never know. You never know whether you do any good. You never know how much good you do...You are doing the best you can, and that best results in good to yourself and others." - Gordon B. Hinckley
"Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but to pour them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then, with the breath of kindness, blow the rest away.” – George Eliot
