21A-Reading reflecion no.2

The book that I choose for these reading reflection is innovation and entrepreneurship by Peter F. Drucker.

1) What was the general theme or argument of the book?

 The general theme of the book was practicing and learning about entrepreneurship. He encourages readers to involve in more social activities and work.

2) How did the book, in your opinion, connect with and enhance what you are learning in ENT 3003
To me the book directly relates to the class in the sense that they're trying to show us how to manage a business.
3) If you had to design an exercise for this class, based on the book you read, what would that exercise involve?
If I would have to design an exercise for this class it would be that people move more around socially and the book says that your contacts are important and the managerial part must be managed responsibly.
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 believe this is a very interesting book because it really shows you how to start your way into entrepreneurship. My real 'aha' moment was when he says that the need of innovation and entrepreneurship is vital to society.



He encourages readers to innovate and be mindful of the small and large opportunities that entrepreneur should have in mind.

    Juan,
    Thank you for sharing some of the key takeaways from your reading. It sounds like a really interesting book although I decided to read a different book. I like how you mentioned that this book was all about business management because that has been such a main focus of this class.

    You did a great job!

    Hi Juan,
    I really enjoyed reading what you had to say about this book. I chose a different book to talk about, so it was really interesting to hear about the one that you chose. It sounds like a pretty intriguing book and it seems as though you have a very good understanding of it and its themes. I really like your idea about an exercise for this class and I think it would be really helpful in making me a better entrepreneur.

27A – Reading Reflection No. 3

Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future, Ashlee Vance To me, this book was extremely amazing to read, mostly because I really admire Elon Musk and I'm a great fan of his job. He is a revolutionizer and is someone that society should admire as ma whole. i think he should be admired because he leads the world most biggest space shuttle companies which is SpaceX. What I admire the most about Elon is that he does things in order to help the humanity as whole. i believe he is successful because he keeps his ideas unique and he has his own thinking criteria and is not easy influenced by what other people say. He's had a clear goal since he was in college, alleviating our dependence on oil and make us a multi-planetary species. Elon Musk has been labeled and obsessive and compulsive in his line of job, but i can't blame him with so much job in his shoulders. I don't think he would be were he is right now if it wouldn't be for his decisiveness....

26A – Celebrating Failure

1) Thought this semester, there has been many times in which I think i'm not going to hold more, that it's to difficult for me and that I needed to give up. Wether it was this class or the other there has been challenges this semester. In this class I've mostly learned that things must be handed on time. I have missed a couple of assignments because of the date, for example the cupcake which is at 12pm on Mondays was easy to miss when I first started this class. I also struggled with the URL submitting, sometimes things are not hard, but they demand responsibility, that's something I've learned in this class. Also in my marketing class, I've taken tree difficult exams and it has not been easy. The first exam I didn't do well, so I studied the most I could for the second and third and now i'm on the road to a better grade in both classes. 2) This failure taught me that I have to be patient and consistant in life, if I wouldn't have had patience when...
