Book: Steve Jobs, Walter Isaacson
1) You read about an entrepreneur:
- What surprised you the most? His childhood. Having heard a lot about Steve Jobs throughout my life, this was something I never heard about, and it was just somewhat surprising to me.
- What about the entrepreneur did you most admire? His tenacious determination. He never gave up until he achieved what he was striving for.
- What about the entrepreneur did you least admire? He seemed pretty full of himself.
- Did the entrepreneur encounter adversity and failure? If so, what did they do about it? He encountered many failures along the way. He continued pushing forward and developing new and improved systems.
2) What competencies did you notice that the entrepreneur exhibited?
Obviously he was very tech savvy and had a lot of know how in that area. He was very competent in this area, and was great with technology.
3) Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you.
Nothing was overly confusing to me, but there were parts of his childhood that were surprising and somewhat "confusing" to me.
4) If you were able to ask two questions to the entrepreneur, what would you ask? Why?
How did you find the motivation to keep going after failure? Do you have any regrets?
5) For fun: what do you think the entrepreneur's opinion was of hard work? Do you share that opinion?
I believe that Jobs knew how to work hard and believed in hard work in order to achieve success. I agree, I believe that hard work is how to achieve success.
hi Robert! Great job explaining the book you read. Steve jobs is a great book to choose to read especially for an entrepreneur. It is inspiring that after his failure he was still able to succeed and become the person he is today. I agree that his childhood is more confusing and surprising when reading about him, it is something not many people know about. Overall great job!
