Exercise-1 (What have you learn in Techopreneurship I?)

Technopreneurship 1 gave me a great advantage in terms of business or particular trade and profession. Impart of our facilitator Mr. Randy Gamboa he gave us a lot of ideas about that subject. All of his proficiency, knowledge and opinion or suggestion about this subject was delivered and shared well.

We defined first what technopreneurship was all about. “Technopreneurship is not a product but a process of synthesis in engineering the future of a person, an organization, a nation and the world. Strategic directions or decision-making processes are becoming more demanding and complex. This requires universities, and in site professional development programs and training to produce strategic thinkers who will have skills to succeed in a rapidly changing global environment” I got this simple explanation that gives me clarification what is technopreneurship form the site of http://www.amigospais-guaracabuya.org/oagmc160.php. After few days of explaining and introducing technopreneurship one to us, new lesson and new techniques made known to us. that was the SEED model, S stands for Self Mastery, E for Environment, other E was Enterprise and D for Development. Mr. Gamboa emphasize that in technopreneurship 1 was limit in the to letters in the SEED model, the Self mastery and Environment.

We have movie marathon entitled “The Pirates of the Silicon Valley”. First I wonder why Sir Randy presented that kind of movie. It was confusing with the titled and also the story all about, because I can’t find way in relating the life of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates to technopreneurship. But then after watching “The Pirates of the Silicon Valley” in that day of evening I watched it again to understand well the story so that I can reflect with the three situational statements given by our instructor Mr. Gamboa. What are the factors that contributed to the success and failure of Steve Jobs as a technopreneur?, How do you see yourself as a technopreneur? And Would you take the same career path that Steve Jobs took? Why or why not?. The above mentioned are some of the topics we ought to answer. From the first question the following are the factors contributed to the success of Steve Jobs:

Do what you love to do.
Think Different.
Do the best and be the best.
Be Entrepreneurial.
Make Swot Analysis.
Start Small, Think Big.
Try to become a market leader.
Focus on the outcomes
Listen to your customer.
Be Innovative.
Learn from your failure.
Keep Learning.

However if there is a success there is a failure. Steve Jobs also experienced and have learned his mistakes and failures of the field of business on his life. Every entrepreneur or technopreneur without a failure was nonsense. Failures give courage in every technopreneur to take and face the challenge
s for the next try. But I didn’t said that you make some mistake to learn but then and again go with the flow, if there was a mistake just be open-minded and solve that mistake then learn from it. Do not be afraid of making mistakes, for there is no other way of learning how to live.

As a technopreneur a see myself that years from now, I can see myself who is being technology groundbreaking, creative, innovative and very passionate about the field of technopreneur. (I hope I’m not in my day dreaming, don’t I?) One thing is for sure why loads of people (like me) crave for and be after of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, it’s because of money. Quickly earning money now a day are really ridiculous. Fortunately there are some personality which they strive and enthusiast in learning experience, a stimulator to look things differently and stride for next challenge. And I must learn and eager to those things mentioned above.

Taking the same career path that Steve Jobs took? Of course yes, if Steve Jobs and I, have equal IQ and skills why not. Many of us dreamed that can be one of the most successful person. Just like Jobs because of his talented hands and high IQ, he made his own personal computer powered and named by Apple. You, me and us, can you imagine that yourself taking the same career paths of the great Steve Jobs? It’s possible right? Just bear this in your mind “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. Don’t settle. Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. You somehow already know what you truly want to become.” - Steve Jobs

All statement above is my reflection about the first activity given to us. since it is all about the life of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, as a Information Technology student I have loads of learning that I can use and apply to have simple application about the business in line of technologies.
Not that all I got in technopreneurship 1, we have also an activities about the model SEED (Self Mastery). I think why it is called self mastery it is because we ought or we need to know well our selves. We have loads of activity to know our personal traits, Intelligent Quotient, Adversity Quotient and Emotional Quotient.

Personal Traits given by our instructor was a very shocking result for me. It was because I got the average score that I didn’t expect. The average score states that we “SOMEWHAT ENTREPRENEUR”. As a student like me that have little idea about business, I never thought I got an average score about personality traits of being entrepreneur was. I’m not sure if I can be a successful entrepreneur or technopreneur someday. However, it felt me that I have capability to have my own business. Personal Traits was related to the first activity we have it was about the life of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, because for me if you are planning your own business make sure that you truly know about yourself. Just like Jobs and Gates they know their ability and skills. Like them they have both intellectual and skills. Our facilitator said if I’m not mistaken he said that putting your own business you should have 50 percent knowledge and 50 percent skills, and also you should know you’re self. Why? If you don’t have those skills your knowledge is useless. There is no outlet for your knowledge to make and to have an application of your brilliant plan. Also, if you always spending time evaluating your skills and knowledge it will able you to make important choices towards your career. That test trying to analyze our skills and knowledge about entrepreneurship or technopreneurship. Ahhhmmm Always keep in mind that those evaluation are some of the solution to characterize who you are.

We also did with getting our Intelligent Quotient that result of average score also. We did it from the internet that we browse some sites that offer some responsible about getting the IQ of one person. Not only that we performed too of knowing, getting and knowing our Emotional Quotient likewise the Adversity Quotient. Those activities gave a great, huge and countless awareness and wisdom about what are my good characteristics and also my bad sides, my strength and my weakness. The event we did was a very good model to have known the vey you.

Personal Traits, Adversity Quotient, Emotional Quotient and Intelligent Quotient were the most and great logically strong and widely used in the world to know yourself and for measuring and strengthening the individual toughness of one human. For me our top leaders and governments must be used this kind of model so that they kind enhance or transform their performance, productivity, optimism, moral and very important leadership as a self ability to identify, assess, and control the emotions of one's self, of others, and of groups.

Those who don’t know there purpose in the earth just try to take technopreneurship 1, because we did and we performed knowing our purpose why we are here in a spherical world. That time Sir Randy steal our purpose. So, we started building our new purpose in life. Knowing my purpose in life is not that simple by just setting it. Self settlement was the first and very important when you are building a purpose in life that was my own experienced because only you are the one who making deal.

However I am placed here to fulfill and understand what my purposes in life are.

As a student:
To finish and graduate my chosen course

As a Roman Catholic:
To preach the good news about God
To live my life to the fullest in God’s will
Be a blessings to others

As a part of my family:
To be a successor (someday)
To build a good relationship with my parents and brothers.
To decency my father and mother
To be a good model to my youngest brother

As time goes by I still finding my real purpose of living in this world.

Then we discovered the three short stories of the life of Steve Jobs by reading the commencement address that he given during the 2005 graduation ceremony one of the most noticeable and prominent universities in United States named Stanford University. Steve Jobs was one of the graduation speaker or commencement speaker that he entitled “Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish”- Steve Job.

The three short stories entitled connecting the Dots, the second was about love and loss and the last but not the least was all about death. In that commencement we have a lot of things we learn and we got a lot of lessons that we can apply in our daily life. Just like You’ve got to find what you Love, Never lose faith – Faith in oneself and faith in God. And Be humble – “Stay hungry and Stay foolish.”

Those are few lessons we can find in the commencement address of Steve Jobs. So, there was no reason not to follow and be an apprentice of Steve Jobs. I think following the footsteps of Jobs was one of the greatest achievements of your life and someday you become boss of your own company and sooner be one of the richest people among the others.

In addition, the whole section was experienced pressure of presenting their each business plan. We are divided by groups and assigned to know our love, best and irritants. At first we wonder why we assigned those things. What is the connection among those love, best and irritants in studying technopreneurship. Well after knowing it our facilitator explain us that the love, best and irritants was the key to have a good plan for the business you are wanted. Our groups as well as other groups create and plan a business together with the combination of our love, best and irritant. We formulated a plan by the help of those three factors in life. We are given a chance to create and plan our own business and what are those beneficiaries or clients and knowing what the nature of the business that you are planning. Now we are facing a new world for technopreneurship.

Being a student might think that this Technopreneurship is not seriously stuff to consider. People who wants earn money should be learn a various steps in taking a business so that they have or might have a proper planning a suite business. If we relate it to the life of Steve Jobs we should be humble, stay hungry and stay foolish. The very best thing I’ve learned in technopreneurship was don’t stay of a single idea but give time to gain more ideas from your companion and also be a part of the industry who have contributed a big cause of being known. One idea doesn’t enough to fight the competitors. Always be optimistic for everything so that you can sustain the world of business.
