1) You read about an
entrepreneur:
·
What surprised you the most?
·
What about the entrepreneur did you most admire?
·
What about the entrepreneur did you least admire?
·
Did the entrepreneur encounter adversity and failure? If so,
what did they do about it?
I was very surprised by how many companies he has his hands in
now and how many the has been a part of. I admired his ambition to keep pushing
and always having a goal, it seems he never gives up. I did not like how it
seems that he invented this companies when you hear about him, being an
investor and having shares is different. yes, they did. when Elon encountered adversity,
he seemed to just get out as soon as possible.
2) What competencies did
you notice that the entrepreneur exhibited?
he has always been very
competent in computer technology along with many forms of engineering.
3) Identify at least one
part of the reading that was confusing to you.
I was confused on how
Zip2 to work so well, and how he made it worth so much money.
4) If you were able to
ask two questions to the entrepreneur, what would you ask? Why?
How do you have the
hindsight to know what to invest in? If you could have created one idea instead
of someone else, what would it be?
5) For fun: what do you
think the entrepreneur's opinion was of hard work? Do you share that opinion?
I think that his opinion
of hard work was to do it till you reach your goals, the continue even harder.
I agree with this viewpoint, however, I feel like I would get burnt out.
Hi Jonny!
ReplyDeleteI liked the questions you posed to your entrepreneur and thought they would give some pretty interesting answers, especially since it is Elon Musk. Next time try to add the title of the book and the author so that we can follow along with who you are talking about when we first start reading. Overall you completed every aspect of this assignment.
Hey Jonny,
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of reading the book about Elon Musk, but in the end decided to read the one about Steve Jobs. This would have been such an interesting book to read because of all the awesome things he has accomplished. It would have been interesting to learn more about Tesla and Space X. The mind behind a successful entrepreneur is always interesting to read about. I am highly considering this book as my next read.
Hey Jonny,
ReplyDeleteI feel like Elon Musk is one of the greatest innovators of the modern age. I agree with what you said in regards to to him having a hand in multiple important companies today. Tesla and SpaceX are just a few of his many contribution. The way you described the book made me really interested in reading the book, great assignment.
