Reading Reflection No.3

1) You read about an entrepreneur: Steve Jobs, Walter Isaacson
·         What surprised you the most?
How Apple was founded, Steve's humanity, not a half-hearted feeling for making things, and also the origin of that feeling.

·         What about the entrepreneur did you most admire?
I was admired by his hard work and the spirit of never giving up. Also, I was admired by people around him. A father who raised Jobs as an adoptive child, Wozniak who was an application founding partner, a male in the IT world, Bill Gates, the existence of many lovers, and people who have encountered Jobs in good or bad in the company, Extremely as an emotional aspect of Jobs, I felt that the future calling party was not always a wonderful calling party or parting, but none of them affected the job's life without any delay.

·         What about the entrepreneur did you least admire?
His attitude when he got emotionally.

·         Did the entrepreneur encounter adversity and failure? If so, what did they do about it?
Jobs is dismissed and exiled a director from Apple. However, disappointing Jobs create a technology to three-dimensionally express a flat animation image and start a resurgence. He didn’t stop working and his work got admitted and he went back to Apple as a CEO.

2) What competencies did you notice that the entrepreneur exhibited?
      Super high leadership, ability that is being loved by people, and hardworking.

3) Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you.
      Begging of the book was talking about technology a lot and I am not science major so it was a little difficult.

4) If you were able to ask two questions to the entrepreneur, what would you ask? Why?

      Would you tell yourself to not to drop out from college if you could meet younger yourself?
      I want to ask this because in this society, dropping out from school is not a good thing. I want to know even though he will be successful in the future, would you let yourself to go to college?
     
      Is there anything that you regret about your work?
      His motivation against his job is very high so I was wondering if he is regret of something.
     
5) For fun: what do you think the entrepreneur's opinion was of hard work? Do you share that opinion?

      “Stay hungry, stay foolish”. Such a good phrase.

  1. Katio,

    While I did not choose to read the biography of Steve Jobs, I do appreciate your analysis of this work. What does the quote, "Stay hungry, stay foolish" mean to you? I guess it's about always pursuing what is next and not becoming complacent with our achievements in life. The stay foolish part is a bit more difficult for me to accept; however, my husband often says, "You are either ripe and rotting or you are green and growing." Maybe Jobs means something similar when he says to stay foolish. This shared concept of exploring new territory means we won't know everything about a given aspect but that is what makes us grow. Life is a terrible thing if we remain stagnant.

    Best Regards,

Further you completely summarized the text in a well thought out manner that makes the reader want more.

  3. Hi Kaito,
    I noticed you focused a lot on Jobs' emotions. Was there a specific reason for it? Is it because you think the bad attitude held him back in some ways as an entrepreneur? I'm not saying I do not agree that he did not handle certain situations well emotionally as was depicted in the movie about him. Lastly, I wish you would have expanded more on the final quote you used.
