- The general theme of “How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big” by Adams was unlikely success. He explains that entrepreneurial success stories are unique and they do not all follow the same, standard type pathway.
- I really enjoyed how this book amplified what I have been learning in this course. The author used lighthearted, more anecdotal styles of writing to effectively show how being an entrepreneur can be done in so many ways which I think is something this class directly shows us. While we each complete the assigned steps, we weave in our own creativity along the way and see how our connections can help us get to the top. I really liked the part about selfishness and it made me think of our idea napkin and how we had to identify our own qualities.
- I would institute a scenario where everything changes. The author explains hope important flexibility in your idea is, so instituting a major change for our innovation would be a fun way to see how students would adapt.
- As a very logical person, I was most surprised when Adams told readers to assume that people are irrational. Nevertheless, I think his advice here was very worthwhile

Hey Megan! I think that, regarding people at least, to consistently aire on the side of caution is a great way to not get dissapointed. Thats what I perceive to be the intention of the anecdotes told by Adams anyways. I hope to read this book in the near future and glean a lot of the knowledge that you have through this experience! Great Post!
ReplyDeleteHey Megan, I choose the same book for my report and I really enjoyed it. I think the book provided a realistic perspective on what it means to pursue your dreams and created a useful tool for comparing your success to. The book emphasizes the use of context for comparing success. The book used a tone that made the reading seem more like having a conversation with the author.
