1. The book I chose was "How to Fail at almost Everything and still Win Big" by Scott Adams. This book was about Scott Adams who is a famous cartoonist who is the creator of Dilbert Office Cartoon. The entire story is about his life and how he went through failure after failure. Some of these failures include failed start-ups, failed attempts at jobs and the losses he took. Through all the failures he eventually pulled through to be extremely famous now. This is his journey.
2. This was actually a real good book and I enjoyed reading it. I feel like it only put the cherry on top to what we have been learning in ENT 3003. This man, Scott Adams literally took lost after lost; failure after failure and still continued to try and never give up. This book was extremely real when it came to Scott explaining that it did take a toll on his mental heath and there were days he just wanted to give up. He gives tips and tricks to staying motivated, to keep going and to take the failure as even more motivation.
3. I think a cool exercise for a class would be an obstacle course. You will begin the obstacle course with a weighted jacket and after each obstacle you add more weight that they have to carry throughout the course. The weight would represent failure and the hardships and of course it is going to be hard to carry the weight as you move along but it will teach them that they have to keep going to win.
4. I think I was mostly surprised by the amount of failure he had to endure. He had a few startups that failed, he had patents that meant nothing and kept messing up at jobs. Through all this hard work and hardship he managed to make time for his loved ones around and still continue to get back up and try again.
