Gaining wisdom within one of your passions can become a 24/7/365 adventure. Look at some things on your list to see if combining them would make someone's life more convenient. There will be challenges, but your dreams are a promise that your efforts can help create. That is why passion to pursue this business idea is so important, it can provide the determination to keep going during difficult times. Starting and running a successful small business isn’t easy. Sure, the scam artists out there (and there are thousands) want you to believe you can make money without the blink of an eye. It’s hard work. But you’re absolutely up for it. This is your vision and some honest elbow grease is a small price to pay for reaching your lifelong dream. You know that – and you’re up for it.
Have you ever surprised yourself by accomplishing something you didn’t think you could? Maybe the success was the outcome of sheer effort. Or did it almost seem effortless – like you were guided to success by an invisible coach who calmed all of your fears and doubts and allowed you to focus on the one thing that mattered…your success.
What we’re trying to say is that if you’re passionate about your small business ideas, there’s very little that can stand in your way. It’s the passion you have for your business that will help you conquer your fears and finally start the business you always wanted.
But yet, something has kept you held back…
Maybe it’s a fear of failure. The fear of not succeeding has simply paralyzed you. A lack of confidence has “frozen” any chance of your getting started.
Or maybe it’s a lack of capital. Not having enough money to fund a startup or sustain one’s family during the beginning phases of the business are concerns that keep many of us locked behind our desk in a nine-to-five grind. Or worse.
Or maybe you just don’t know where to start – you have limited business ideas. Believe it or not, many potential business owners never get started because they have trouble coming up with small business ideas. They lack that special creative spark that ignites the entrepreneurial flame.
Making ideas is one of the many things to make a successful business in the future that would surely earn big income and would boost and enhance my skills in producing and building a successful idea in the field of technopreneurship. I am also concern on how that business idea would work and be successful in the coming future. Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one and so is the business. I also look forward the risk in making his business idea when it will be implemented. It makes me curious on how this business idea would help me as a student in the field of my expertise.
Small businesses are everywhere, but only a few actually have made it to the top. Obviously, if you are like me, you look at a business as a sizable investment because no matter how small it is, there is still a start-up cost to pay. In this day and age, people are looking to save as much money as they can. Unfortunately, the economy isn’t what it used to be and people have had to adjust. But yet, even in these hectic times, time is till moving forward, and everyone is looking to become an entrepreneur. There are a lot of great business ideas out there. These ideas will all sound tangible and easy to implement, which can fool many people. They will sound bulletproof, and if you can find willing investors, these businesses will be funded. They might sound excellent, as if the business would be invincible, but without a contingency plan, it will eventually crumble. This usually happens to small start-up businesses and businesses that are set-up without analyzing their target market, their capital, and the like.
You have powerful points of wisdom within that when expressed could be your authentic edge in the marketplace. That wisdom represents better business ideas than anything your conscious mind realizes.
We talk a lot about authentic expression in terms of standing up for what’s important and in terms of life purpose but I don’t think we talk enough about our inner wisdom and how to extract it. When you decide to express your well-earned inner wisdom you set yourself apart in remarkable ways. It’s your wisdom and no one else can express and exploit it like you can. Your best idea is waiting just below the surface, buried under your lack of willingness to dig and your fears. How about instead of waiting for true calling epiphanies you take a look at how to dig deep and extract your own inner wisdom?
An idea came out into my mind which I think a good investment interms of growing a business. I choose a business that engages with books since I am a book lover and I love to read books. In the present time, many people especially students need a medium in gaining information and entertainment, the books. I've always wanted to have a bookstore, and having one online is so much easier than a bricks and mortar store. However, there are pros and cons in making this business idea. If I will to put a business having enough money as a start-up capital. It is not just an ordinary business taht sells books because it has its differences from the other book related businesses. The smartest move that you can make is to carefully map out an effective career-change strategy. A catch phrase is like bait – it hooks the target clients that they would want to read the whole of your message in your brochure, catalog, print postcards, and even in your bookmarks or hang tags, websites or blogs. And just like any other business, your business needs all the help it can get to be attractive and appealing to your target clients.
I call this business as “The BookRoom”. This business offered many features. This business has been design to fill a niche that exists in the market place. I will compile business plans rapidly and efficiently, at a fraction of our competitors' prices, whilst maintaining the highest levels of quality and client service at all times.
The key to success once your own business is started is to keep learning. Cultivate your natural abilities and grow with them. Many small businesses have been doomed from the start because of false hopes. Those of you who already operate going firms have avoided wishful thinking in other business areas. You need to avoid it where innovation is concerned, too. The success of this business will be directly influenced by my dedication to continually improving the quality and service in every aspect of the business operation. To multiply small successes is precisely to build one treasure after another. In time one becomes rich without realizing how it has come about. This business is not just through internet but also through personal interaction with the customers which I believe the best way to offer my featured products which are the books. The business offers different kinds of books both new and old books(used books). I would also pursue buy and sell. Example, buy old books which are often use and sell them to other people through online or through face to face. Making Blogs or designing a website for selling the books is one way of selling the books online. The website offers different function such as searching books that are offered and are useful to the website visitors and clients or searching related books that can be use by the customer. Displaying the content of a certain offered book on the website is one of the best way in satisfying a customer who wants to buy a book. The business also offers not just the featured books on my website but they can also contact me in searching book I do not offer in my site but I can search and buy it and sell it to them in a good price. But before buying the book, they need to pay a total of 50 percent of the total price which includes the charges.
The challenges in the 21st century are the greatest signal to technology developers regarding what new technologies to come up with. For example, the ever increasing climate change worries can be seen as entry points by some technology developers from all sectors to develop environment friendly products. The market potential for cheap, accessible, and renewable energy is a great opportunity for engineers and scientists. The same goes to developers of electronic items that consume the least energy while achieving the same amount if not more work with today’s existing electronic items. There is also a great potential to discover long lasting batteries that do not pose environmental threat during disposal. It cannot be argued that the niche for environment-friendly new technology is here to say. The smartest small business ideas are one that take the current market conditions into consideration, as well as projections on how the market will continue to grow. These days there are fewer investments as lucrative and safe as starting a small business that focuses on new technologies.
The information and communication technology niche will still remain in the forefront of all potential technology-based business startups. Still in line with going green, the next technology-based business that could develop further the existing networking technology and provide ways closer to a paperless office. As specific example, there is a great potential for profit for the next IT business to develop a Web-based spreadsheet that does more than storing text and performing simple calculation. The Internet security business, too, is seeing no letup in demand as more and more business operations are now done online. Of course, technologies that ensure human survival as in food and health security will never go out of demand. There is always a demand for new ways of growing and producing safe food products that could feed an increasing population. Technology-based businesses that develop hospital gadgets like new diagnostic equipment or even patient data processing and storage will always have a sure market.
New ideas in security technology should also have a good share in the market as people and businesses are constantly looking for new ways to secure their properties and even their lives. In the 21st century where physical security is becoming a necessity, technology-based businesses focused on discovering new ways to secure lives and properties from natural as well as man-made disasters should see a good demand for their products or services.
There are many ways to get involved with a technology driven small business. You could start a consulting firm that would keep up on the latest technology and help other small businesses incorporate the newest products and concepts into their own business plans. You can buy and re-sell new technology products. You could also train new comers on the latest computer programs.
Just like there are many ways to get involved, there are many different types of technology as well. One of the most lucrative is alternative energy technology. People are beginning to realize the impact that our fuel consumption has on the environment and are increasingly interested in finding alternatives to traditional fuels.
Another option is focusing on gaming technology. You've probably seen news stories of the long lines outside of retail stores the day the newest game console comes out. Finding a wholesaler to sell you these products at a low price, and then turning around and selling them for a huge profit, is a great way to start a small business.
No matter which route you choose, the key to these smartest small business ideas is to keep an eye on the trends in the market. Learn from other's mistakes - and their achievements - and you'll be well on your way to success.

OPERATING SYSTEMS
Second Semester – SY 2010-2011
Name: Willy T. Pedroso
Section: BSIT-3
Case Study #: 1
Give an example OS (Specific) for each of the following categories of OS:
· Batch Systems
z/OS is a 64-bit operating system for mainframe computers, produced by IBM. It is the successor to OS/390, which in turn followed a string ofMVS versions[NB 1] and combined a number of formerly separate, related products. z/OS offers the attributes of modern operating systems but also retains much of the functionality originating in the 1960s and each subsequent decade that is still found in daily use. (Extreme backward compatibility is one of z/OS's central design philosophies.) It is derived from OS/390 and was introduced in October, 2000.
z/OS supports staple mainframe technologies such as CICS, IMS, DB2, RACF, SNA, WebSphere MQ, record-oriented data access methods,REXX, CLIST, SMP/E, JCL, TSO/E, and ISPF. However, z/OS also supports 64-bit Java, C/C++, and UNIX (Single UNIX Specification) APIs and applications — The Open Group certifies z/OS as a compliant UNIX operating system — with UNIX/Linux-style hierarchical HFS (not to be confused with the Macintosh HFS) and zFS file systems. As a result, z/OS hosts a broad range of commercial and open source software.[2]z/OS can communicate directly via TCP/IP, including IPv6, and includes standard HTTP servers (one from Lotus, the other Apache-derived) along with other common services such as FTP, NFS, and CIFS/SMB. Another central design philosophy is support for extremely high quality of service (QoS), even within a single operating system instance, although z/OS has built-in support for Parallel Sysplex clustering.
· Interactive Systems
Sixth Edition Unix, also called Version 6 Unix or just V6, was the first version of the Unix operating system to see wide release outside Bell Labs. It was released in May 1975 and, like its direct predecessor, targeted the DEC PDP-11 family of minicomputers.
Bell Labs developed several variants of V6, including the stripped-down MINI-UNIX for low-end PDP-11 models, LSI-UNIX or LSX for the LSI-11, and the real-time operating systemUNIX/RT, which merged V6 Unix and the earlier MERT hypervisor.
An enhanced V6 was the basis of the first ever commercially sold Unix version, INTERACTIVE's IS/1. Bell's own PWB/UNIX 1.0 was also based on V6, where earlier (unreleased) versions were based on V4 and V5. Whitesmiths produced and marketed a (binary-compatible) V6 clone under the name Idris.
· Real-time systems
RTLinux or RTCore is a hard realtime RTOS microkernel that runs the entire Linux operating system as a fully preemptive process.
It was developed by Victor Yodaiken (Yodaiken 1999), Michael Barabanov (Barabanov 1996), Cort Dougan and others at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology and then as a commercial product at FSMLabs. Wind River Systems acquired FSMLabs embedded technology in February 2007 and now makes a version available as Wind River Real-Time Core for Wind River Linux.
RTLinux was based on a lightweight virtual machine where the Linux "guest" was given a virtualized interrupt controller and timer - and all other hardware access was direct. From the point of view of the real-time "host", the Linux kernel is a thread. Interrupts needed for deterministic processing are processed by the real-time core, while other interrupts are forwarded to Linux, which runs at a lower priority than realtime threads. Linux drivers handle almost all I/O. First-In-First-Out pipes (FIFOs) or shared memory can be used to share data between the operating system and RTCore.
· Hybrid Systems
Windows NT is a family of operating systems produced by Microsoft, the first version of which was released in July 1993. It was a powerful high-level-language-based, processor-independent, multiprocessing, multiuser operating system with features comparable to Unix. It was intended to complement consumer versions of Windows that were based on MS-DOS. NT was the first fully 32-bit version of Windows, whereas its consumer-oriented counterparts, Windows 3.1x and Windows 9x, were 16-bit/32-bit hybrids. Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Home Server, Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7 are based on Windows NT, although they are not branded as Windows NT.
Although various Microsoft publications, including a 1998 question-and-answer session with Bill Gates, reveal that the letters 'NT' were expanded to 'New Technology' for marketing purposes, they originally stood for "N-Ten," the codename of the Intel i860 XR processor for which NT was initially developed. However, they no longer carry any specific meaning.
· Embedded Systems
Windows CE (also known officially as Windows Embedded Compact or Windows Embedded CE post version 6.0 , and sometimes abbreviated Wince) is an operating system developed by Microsoft for minimalistic computers and embedded systems. Windows CE is a distinct operating system and kernel, rather than a trimmed-down version of desktop Windows.[5] It is not to be confused with Windows XP Embedded which is NT-based.
Microsoft licenses Windows CE to OEMs and device makers. The OEMs and device makers can modify and create their own user interfaces and experiences, while Windows CE provides the technical foundation to do so.
Windows CE is supported on Intel x86 and compatibles, MIPS, ARM, and Hitachi SuperH processors.
Subject: Exercise 1 (Due on before November 23, 2010, 1pm)
Your reflection/learning's on Technopreneurship 1 (at least 2000 words)
At the time when I process my papers for the enrollment, I was very much curious of my subjects so what I did is that I read my C.O.R. and I found out a term from one of my subjects which caught my attention. The term was technopreneurship. It sounds weird, right? I was wondering about it and suddenly Itried to research it on the internet and I found out that the term Technopreneurship came from the word Technology and Entrepreneurship. After I read that article on the internet about technopreneurship, some speculations came out from my mind and questions that bothered my mind. How can it be that a technology is combined with entrepreneurship? How can I earn money through my learnings in this subject? What are the importance of this subject? Do I need to take this subject?
The role of a technopreneur engages several difficulties. Its characteristics cannot be define by a single word, but of many. It sounds confusing to say that being an technopreneur is an easy job for those who didn't really know it deeper but for those who are engage with this job it is indeed tiresome for a person to handle a big responsibility to become a better technopreneur. In some instance, the word technopreneur which came from the word technology and entrepreneur is not new to us since we are now in the information age where everything is not impossible.
In the movie “The Pirates of the Silicon Valley”, I learned many things like talks the two big names in the computer industry, Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple Computers and Bill Gates, co-founder of the Microsoft Company. The movie portrays the historical development of the Apple Computers and Microsoft Company, from the younger days of Steven Jobs and Bill Gates up to their venture as technopreneur. It is an enlightening deception of the evolution of a true phenomenon, he computer age. I also observed in the movie the negative values of Steven Jobs and Bill Gates that are now having big names in the worldwide. Although Steve Jobs has a unenthusiastic attitude to his co-founders, he still managed to uplift and give a renowned recognition of the Apple Company. On the other hand, Bill Gates tried to do his best for his company to be better than other company in the same business even though Microsoft at first was not that popular. What was really amazing about the film was that the contenders actually worked together until Steve Jobs realized that Bill Gates develop Windows using the software that Apple had programmed for their computers. The movie is really interesting for it caters the audience not only the development of the two largest computer companies nowadays but also the dramatic part.
“Your Attitude Counts”, it is one of the things I learned while watching the movie. People with right attitude rather than only positive attitude are trusted more. I need to keep in mind that the person I am going to deal can guess my attitude just by observing my behavior, my views regarding some points, my gesture etc.
One also of the things that I learned to become a successful Technopreneur from the movie is that I should think before I speak. I believe we should not speak out about a topic we do not know or have very less knowledge about. It is better to let others think we are a fool rather than opening our mouth and proving it and be confident. As I stated, be confident of what you state and whatever you do. There can be a situation when you can win a deal of your lifetime just because you are confident you can do it!
“Every strength can become a weakness. Every talent contains an opposite that sometimes makes it into a handicap. Successful people like to win and achieve high standards so as I learned in the movie which portrays not only success but also failure. This can make them so terrified of failure it ruins their lives. When a positive trait, like achievement, becomes too strong in someone’s life, it’s on the way to becoming a major handicap. Achievement is a powerful value for many successful people. They’ve built their lives on it. They achieve at everything they do: school, college, sports, the arts, hobbies, work. Each fresh achievement adds to the power of the value in their lives”. In conclusion, in times that we are too high enough to reach don’t forget who you are. As they say, aim high but don’t forget your past and remember who you are because they are part of where you are now. And remember that attitude counts!
As an Information Technology student, I cannot deny the fact that Steven Jobs had a big contribution in the computer industry today and to the development of strengthening the technology today. But other people didn't know about the contribution of Steve Jobs in the field of business and technology today. He is in line with those brilliant minds in the history like Albert Einstein, Galileo Galilee, Rene Descartes and many other famous people who really established their names in their field of expertise. Steve Jobs success can be a motivation to everyone not only on the field of technology and entrepreneurship but also to their own fields. Becoming successful doesn't mean that you are taking the same path of other successful people. You, as an individual must establish your own identity and signature on who you are in making and taking the same path that you are going to take. Establishing your own career by not copying the idea of other, why not? Take it as a challenge to build your own strong foundation.
In the Technopreneur 1 we also tackle the importance of knowing your personality. Personality test comprises of Adversity Quotient, Intelligence Quotient and Emotional Quotient. In the results, it appeared that I am willing to take a risk to do everything and be curious which leads to new ideas which are unique from the others. Being a self-disciplined person is at my top-most priority as a person that tends me to be well-organized in any matters and be reliable person to each individual. Enjoying the company of others makes me develop in socializing others and understand others behavior that boost my ability to gain friends. In the result, it is showed that I am a good-natured, courteous and supportive person who is true in reality. I do practice of respecting others on what they wanted to do and respect also their decisions. Last but not the least, I remain calm in the times of rush and tense situation which can be showed in the results which are categorize as follows: openness to experience/ intellect, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism.
After I took the personality test I also took the adversity quotient test that measures of how resilient you are in the trials and tribulation also.
C = Control
O = Ownership
R = Reach
E = Endurance
One also of the essentials that comprises the personality traits is known as the Emotional Quotient. Emotional Quotient is about having empathy for others. It is about standing up for what you believe in a tactful and respectful way. It is about not jumping to conclusions, but getting the whole picture before you react. The key to emotional intelligence is an understanding of your emotions and the emotions of others, and acting in the most appropriate way based on that understanding. Having a healthy emotional intelligence is very important in order for human beings to live happy and successful lives. On the other hand intelligence quotient as part of personality test, or IQ, is a score derived from one of several different standardized test designed to assess intelligence.
There are several lessons that I took after reading the “Commencement Address” of Steve Jobs.
Trust your gut. Too many people get caught up in their mind and caught up with what they’re supposed to do instead of really looking within and listening to their intuition. You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. Whatever you do, you have to trust the fact that it will all work out if you follow your gut. You have to go beyond logical, methodical thinking and know that no matter what, if you stay true and honest with yourself, everything will work out in the end. Loving what you do is of the utmost importance. Beyond money, beyond status and beyond what other people think, you need to strive to do what you love. Follow your heart. Don't settle."You've got to find what you love, and that is as true for work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking, and don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it, and like any great relationship it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking. Don't settle." It is your life and you have every right to spend it in your own individual way without any hurdles or barriers from others. Give yourself a chance to nurture your creative qualities in a fear-free and pressure-free climate. Live a life that YOU choose and be your own boss. I’ll end with the final words from Steve’s speech and with something that you should constantly repeat to yourself. Make it your mantra: Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.
At the end of the semester, we need to think a unique business idea to be able for us to comply the needed requirement for the subject. Some of the business ideas are somewhat like other business ideas that can be read and search on the internet. But of course, my ideas may have similarities but I might say that it is better than other ideas. Gaining wisdom within one of your passions can become a 24/7/365 adventure. Look at some things on your list to see if combining them would make someone's life more convenient. There will be challenges, but your dreams are a promise that your efforts can help create. That is why passion to pursue this business idea is so important because it can provide the determination to keep going during difficult times. Look at your own skills and experiences. I am also concern on how that business idea would work and be successful in the coming future. Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one and so is the business. I also look forward the risk in making his business idea when it will be implemented. It makes me curious on how this business idea would help me as a student in the field of my expertise. Different ideas came out into my mind after I red the forum. I am thinking of so many ideas that can be unique than any other business ideas. You have to KISS it – keep it short and simple. A meaningful and compelling catch phrase is something that is brief and quick assurance that the quality of work you provide is the best in the market. A brief and concise message is what you are aiming for because you would want to convey your message right away and use your sense of humor to drive your point. We also need to be creative. Thinking out of the box can go a long way in getting you remembered by your target clients.
As an Information Technology student, I can see my self as a successful and famous technopreneur in the near future. Being a well-known Tecnopreneur is one of my ambitions in life as an Information Technology student and be the next Bill Gates. But for now, as study first to have a good grade and hopefully graduate in my chosen course and later find a good job

You have to go beyond logical, methodical thinking and know that no matter what, if you stay true and honest with yourself, everything will work out in the end. Loving what you do is of the utmost importance. Beyond money, beyond status and beyond what other people think, you need to strive to do what you love. Follow your heart. Don't settle."You've got to find what you love, and that is as true for work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking, and don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it, and like any great relationship it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking. Don't settle." It is your life and you have every right to spend it in your own individual way without any hurdles or barriers from others. Give yourself a chance to nurture your creative qualities in a fear-free and pressure-free climate. Live a life that YOU choose and be your own boss. I’ll end with the final words from Steve’s speech and with something that you should constantly repeat to yourself. Make it your mantra: Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.
At the end of the semester, we need to think a unique business idea to be able for us to comply the needed requirement for the subject. Some of the business ideas are somewhat like other business ideas that can be read and search on the internet. But of course, my ideas may have similarities but I might say that it is better than other ideas. Gaining wisdom within one of your passions can become a 24/7/365 adventure. Look at some things on your list to see if combining them would make someone's life more convenient. There will be challenges, but your dreams are a promise that your efforts can help create. That is why passion to pursue this business idea is so important because it can provide the determination to keep going during difficult times. Look at your own skills and experiences. I am also concern on how that business idea would work and be successful in the coming future. Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one and so is the business. I also look forward the risk in making his business idea when it will be implemented. It makes me curious on how this business idea would help me as a student in the field of my expertise. Different ideas came out into my mind after I red the forum. I am thinking of so many ideas that can be unique than any other business ideas. You have to KISS it – keep it short and simple. A meaningful and compelling catch phrase is something that is brief and quick assurance that the quality of work you provide is the best in the market. A brief and concise message is what you are aiming for because you would want to convey your message right away and use your sense of humor to drive your point. We also need to be creative. Thinking out of the box can go a long way in getting you remembered by your target clients.
As an Information Technology student, I can see my self as a successful and famous technopreneur in the near future. Being a well-known Tecnopreneur is one of my ambitions in life as an Information Technology student and be the next Bill Gates. But for now, as study first to have a good grade and hopefully graduate in my chosen course and later find a good job
At the time when I process my papers for the enrollment, I was very much curious of my subjects so what I did is that I read my C.O.R. and I found out a term from one of my subjects which caught my attention. The term was technopreneurship. It sounds weird, right? I was wondering about it and suddenly Itried to research it on the internet and I found out that the term Technopreneurship came from the word Technology and Entrepreneurship. After I read that article on the internet about technopreneurship, some speculations came out from my mind and questions that bothered my mind. How can it be that a technology is combined with entrepreneurship? How can I earn money through my learnings in this subject? What are the importance of this subject? Do I need to take this subject?
The role of a technopreneur engages several difficulties. Its characteristics cannot be define by a single word, but of many. It sounds confusing to say that being an technopreneur is an easy job for those who didn't really know it deeper but for those who are engage with this job it is indeed tiresome for a person to handle a big responsibility to become a better technopreneur. In some instance, the word technopreneur which came from the word technology and entrepreneur is not new to us since we are now in the information age where everything is not impossible.
In the movie “The Pirates of the Silicon Valley”, I learned many things like talks the two big names in the computer industry, Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple Computers and Bill Gates, co-founder of the Microsoft Company. The movie portrays the historical development of the Apple Computers and Microsoft Company, from the younger days of Steven Jobs and Bill Gates up to their venture as technopreneur. It is an enlightening deception of the evolution of a true phenomenon, he computer age. I also observed in the movie the negative values of Steven Jobs and Bill Gates that are now having big names in the worldwide. Although Steve Jobs has a unenthusiastic attitude to his co-founders, he still managed to uplift and give a renowned recognition of the Apple Company. On the other hand, Bill Gates tried to do his best for his company to be better than other company in the same business even though Microsoft at first was not that popular. What was really amazing about the film was that the contenders actually worked together until Steve Jobs realized that Bill Gates develop Windows using the software that Apple had programmed for their computers. The movie is really interesting for it caters the audience not only the development of the two largest computer companies nowadays but also the dramatic part.
“Your Attitude Counts”, it is one of the things I learned while watching the movie. People with right attitude rather than only positive attitude are trusted more. I need to keep in mind that the person I am going to deal can guess my attitude just by observing my behavior, my views regarding some points, my gesture etc.
One also of the things that I learned to become a successful Technopreneur from the movie is that I should think before I speak. I believe we should not speak out about a topic we do not know or have very less knowledge about. It is better to let others think we are a fool rather than opening our mouth and proving it and be confident. As I stated, be confident of what you state and whatever you do. There can be a situation when you can win a deal of your lifetime just because you are confident you can do it!
“Every strength can become a weakness. Every talent contains an opposite that sometimes makes it into a handicap. Successful people like to win and achieve high standards so as I learned in the movie which portrays not only success but also failure. This can make them so terrified of failure it ruins their lives. When a positive trait, like achievement, becomes too strong in someone’s life, it’s on the way to becoming a major handicap. Achievement is a powerful value for many successful people. They’ve built their lives on it. They achieve at everything they do: school, college, sports, the arts, hobbies, work. Each fresh achievement adds to the power of the value in their lives”. In conclusion, in times that we are too high enough to reach don’t forget who you are. As they say, aim high but don’t forget your past and remember who you are because they are part of where you are now. And remember that attitude counts!
As an Information Technology student, I cannot deny the fact that Steven Jobs had a big contribution in the computer industry today and to the development of strengthening the technology today. But other people didn't know about the contribution of Steve Jobs in the field of business and technology today. He is in line with those brilliant minds in the history like Albert Einstein, Galileo Galilee, Rene Descartes and many other famous people who really established their names in their field of expertise. Steve Jobs success can be a motivation to everyone not only on the field of technology and entrepreneurship but also to their own fields. Becoming successful doesn't mean that you are taking the same path of other successful people. You, as an individual must establish your own identity and signature on who you are in making and taking the same path that you are going to take. Establishing your own career by not copying the idea of other, why not? Take it as a challenge to build your own strong foundation.
In the Technopreneur 1 we also tackle the importance of knowing your personality. Personality test comprises of Adversity Quotient, Intelligence Quotient and Emotional Quotient. In the results, it appeared that I am willing to take a risk to do everything and be curious which leads to new ideas which are unique from the others. Being a self-disciplined person is at my top-most priority as a person that tends me to be well-organized in any matters and be reliable person to each individual. Enjoying the company of others makes me develop in socializing others and understand others behavior that boost my ability to gain friends. In the result, it is showed that I am a good-natured, courteous and supportive person who is true in reality. I do practice of respecting others on what they wanted to do and respect also their decisions. Last but not the least, I remain calm in the times of rush and tense situation which can be showed in the results which are categorize as follows: openness to experience/ intellect, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism.
After I took the personality test I also took the adversity quotient test that measures of how resilient you are in the trials and tribulation also.
C = Control
O = Ownership
R = Reach
E = Endurance
One also of the essentials that comprises the personality traits is known as the Emotional Quotient. Emotional Quotient is about having empathy for others. It is about standing up for what you believe in a tactful and respectful way. It is about not jumping to conclusions, but getting the whole picture before you react. The key to emotional intelligence is an understanding of your emotions and the emotions of others, and acting in the most appropriate way based on that understanding. Having a healthy emotional intelligence is very important in order for human beings to live happy and successful lives. On the other hand intelligence quotient as part of personality test, or IQ, is a score derived from one of several different standardized test designed to assess intelligence.
There are several lessons that I took after reading the “Commencement Address” of Steve Jobs.
