Steve Jobs, Walter Isaacson
1) What surprised you the most?
- The experience of how Jobs to be succeed.
What about the entrepreneur did you most admire?
- His long ranging vision.
What about the entrepreneur did you least admire?
- His management of human resource (CEO John Sculley)
Did the entrepreneur encounter adversity and failure? If so, what did they do about it?
- For example, he was dropped out from college, but he still continued to take cources which he interested in. Then, he was fired from his first company he worked. He didn't give up what he want to do, and he believe that he is the new generation of the entrepreneurs.
2) What competencies did you notice that the entrepreneur exhibited?
- Perseverance - like I said in the last part, he never give up what he want to do even in difficult times of his life.
3) Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you.
- It's "reality distortion field".
4) If you were able to ask two questions to the entrepreneur, what would you ask? Why?
- What are your suggestions for youngers who want to start their own business? I want to ask this question because I want to start my own business after I graduate this semester. I need some suggestions from a successful and great entrepreneur like Steve Jobs.
5) For fun: what do you think the entrepreneur's opinion was of hard work? Do you share that opinion?
- His opinipn of hard work is that people should follow their dreams step by step until you achieve it. Those failures are the valuable experience for your future.
Aobo,
ReplyDeleteGreat Job! I also read about Steve Jobs, and thought that you made many great points in your post. I think you hit the nail on the head on how much Jobs valued hard work and how much he would encourage people to chase their dreams until they become a reality. I also agree in the sense that I did not like how he dealt with the whole John Scully situation. I think it was a learning situation for Jobs and he learned from his mistakes
