How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big, Scott Adams
1) What was the general theme or argument of the book?
The general theme about this book is that in your failures you learn valuable lessons that help you succeed later on.
2) How did the book, in your opinion, connect with and enhance what you are learning in ENT 3003?
This book connected with ENT because there are so many elevator pitch and idea napkin assignments and they pair well with the book, because you do them multiple times and they get better and better as you learn from your mistakes and update your assignments.
3) If you had to design an exercise for this class, based on the book you read, what would that exercise involve?
It would be to pick a pivotal failure in your life and describe it. After that, find something you learned from it and explain how it helped you later on in the future.
4) What was your biggest surprise or 'aha' moment when reading the book? In other words, what did you learn that differed most from your expectations?
The biggest surprise for me from this book was all the different perspectives you can look at one situation from. It showed that every single failure is also a learning opportunity that you should use to grow and it really made me think on my own past failures.
I chose to read this book as well! This was a great read for a young entrepeaneur, It is a very easy read. I liked that it was able to give good examples on how to deal with failure and better from it.
ReplyDeleteNice post. Youre idea for making your own assignment in relation to the book would make a awesome assignment. Making mistakes can be the best knowledge you can gain in some situations.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. This book has a very strong connection to our class. It is showing how failure and not giving up whenever you fail can give you the opportunity to improve yourself. I believe that failure is just a word, it means learning more and keep improving daily. Sadly, some people think that failing means the end of the world.
