Failing at almost everything but still winning big
1.
The general theme of the book is the notion that no
matter how much you fail, you can learn from those situations and still be
successful.

The book connected with what I am learning in ENT
3003 because building a business will not always be successful the first time
around. The author tried to create over thirty different businesses until he
finally found one that worked. The author never gave up, and as an entrepreneur
you must do the same.

I would create an exercise that allows the students
fail five times before they are successful the sixth time. I will basically rig
a game, and record the reactions to the students every time they lose. Then
after they play the game for the sixth time, and finally win, I will record the
reactions, and compare them to the first five reactions.

The thing that surprised me the most about the book
was when the author stated "goals are for losers." If you want to
know why he said this, you will have to read it for yourself! Over all, this
was a great read, and I would recommend it to practically anyone.
