• 1) What was the general theme or argument of the book?
    • The general theme of the book is to keep on working hard and pursuing excellence despite the rise of setbacks. No matter what have obtained in life we are wired to always want more and we have to work hard with the systems we put in place in order to achieve more. 
  • 2) How did the book, in your opinion, connect with and enhance what you are learning in ENT 3003?
    • I think this book gave me a good understanding that you are not always going to be exactly where you want of get exactly what you want and that is okay. However, if you are working hard and doing everything you can in order to make you more successful throughout the journey that is what is most important. 
  • 3) If you had to design an exercise for this class, based on the book you read, what would that exercise involve?
    • My exercise based around the book for this class would be a workshop that helps students see all of the perceived "failures" that have happened in their life and turn that thinking around because everything in life that has happened to us has put us in the place we are today, which is what makes us all special and unique in our own ways. 
  • 4) What was your biggest surprise or 'aha' moment when reading the book? In other words, what did you learn that differed most from your expectations?
    • The biggest thing that I took away from this book was to stop setting goals. All your life you are told to set goals because the give you something to work for, but I learned that there are two main flaws with goals. To get an outcome for an unknown day you must put in work today and unless you get exactly what you wanted that it is considered a disappointment. This book suggests that you put systems in place in your life that help to get you where you want to go and that is something that I would like to start doing in my life.
