21A – Reading Reflection No. 2

            “How to fail at almost everything and still win big” by Scott Adams is about how one should be able to invite failure into their lives and how to embrace it and how to have it do the most for you that you can. There are parts in the book that are very real bout how not everyone success is going to be the same and how to achieve your big goals. Thins book enhanced what I learned in ENT in many ways specifically with the idea of being creative in what you do. Just like in class with the activity of the idea napkins it is always best with ideas to be blatantly creative with them. One of the ideas that was addressed in this book was that you need to be able to depend on people for being responsible in the process of achieving your goals. The biggest thing that I learned from this book that surprised me that in the promotion it is sometimes necessary to be selfish and that to me was shocking to because some people would deter you from being selfish saying it’s a bad trait to have. But he author of this book is saying that it’s something you’re going to need to have in order to be successful.

  1. I agree with you when you said that you were shocked that someone would characterize selfishness as a good trait when it comes to trying to advance your career and although most of us grow up being told that selfishness is not an admirable trait it can sometimes be essential in advancing our position. It really sounds like this was a good book and it makes me curious to read it myself.
