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 of this book was to always be proactive with your day. Make the most out of each and everyday and if one can set systems for each day they will have a drive to get up and want to accomplish these on a daily basis. One needs to be able to accept failure and turn it into positive energy and adapting to it.
2) How did the book, in your opinion, connect with and enhance what you are learning in ENT 3003?
This book really opened my eyes and made me realize that the only person who can truly control how you act is yourself. One needs to understand themselves first and harness their own strengths before trying to accomplish anything. Once one is able to control their personal energy they will expand their opportunities to the next level. This book was helpful for ENT because it showed me that I need to believe in myself and my business (Books-to-Go) in order to be successful. It taught me to accept failure and to turn failures into positive experiences.
3) If you had to design an exercise for this class, based on the book you read, what would that exercise involve?
The exercise I would devise for the class would be one that is not too complicated but at first no one could accomplish. They would have to fail first in order to realize what they need to do next time in order to pass.
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?
I think one of the biggest 'aha' moments for myself was when Adams talked about in his book about forgetting goals because they are for te weak and create systems. Systems are basically a set of procedures one should do everyday in order to give them something too look forward too each and everyday. Adams talked about this idea when he was working and how it helped him stay positive all the time and loaded with good vibes and energy.
