Reading Reflection No. 3 (Assignment 27A)

For this assignment, I read How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big by Scott Adams. In this book, Adams goes over the process that comes with success, touching on the fact that it takes many, many failures before one becomes wise and successful. He says that to get to the point you want to be at, you have to learn all the steps under it, and with that, many failures will occur. This book really relates to this class as with being an entrepreneur, failure is a very common occurrence. This book really teaches you the importance of failing and the fact that its a part of every success, therefore, you should capitalize from it as much as you can. This is really important to understand as an entrepreneur because it will help you learn a lot in your business making process. As far as an assignment that can be created relating to this book, I think having students write about and reflect on a time when they failed and maybe give a response as to what they would change now, knowing how that situation went before. An aha moment that I had while reading this book was when Adams explained the amount of formula's and systems he has to accomplish his tasks instead of setting goals or schedules like most people. I thought to be successful, setting goals was essential, and it can be, but Adams focused on the point that setting goals leads to many more failures and that having a formula to answer something is much safer, easier, and helpful compared to setting goals.
