Reading Reflection #3

Reading Reflection #3

1. For my third reading Reflection in this class, I decided to read and analysis How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big, Scott Adams . I decided to read this book because of its availability on the UF online library and the fact that it talked about how a mindset can set you up for success of failure. I decided to read this book because of its availability on the UF online library and the fact that it talked about how a mindset can set you up for success of failure. The main theme of How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big, Scott Adams is how it is vital that you fail in order to succeed. It says how you just need one idea, one economic opportunity to make it to succeed. This book made me realize that in order to succeed, one must keep trying again and again, persevering through failure. 
2. This book was heavily connected with what Ive learned in Ent3003, Ent3003 has taught me that to be an entrepreneur one must be tenacious, one must fail and be able to try again, one must be able to see things from a different perspective to see possible solutions, and this whole book is based off the fact that we just need one thing to succeed in order to. be succesful. This growth attitude is exactly what is needed to be a succesful entrepreneur , and is the same as the things taught in this class like how to rebound after constant failure. 
3. If I had to design an exercise for this class based on what I think this book taught me, I would try to create an exercise almost like the elevator pitch idea connected with the interview assignments. I would make an exercise were you would have to pitch your business idea to a set group of people who would immediately shut it down, and see how you react and try to come back from it . It would be longer then an elevator speech to give the student time to try to come back from the first failure and prove that they have this growth state of mind.
4. My biggest surprise from this book, is how true it is what Adams is saying, that you can fail a million times, but if you make it the one time, you succeed.
