Refelection/Insights on my Personality Trait Result.

MY REFLECTION/INSIGHTS on my Persoanlity Trait Test

Understanding the characteristics of a person is related on how he acts each day of his life and the personalities he obtained to be what he is right now. These past few days, I had taken the personality trait test that required in our subject and apparently got the result. But before fully reviled my personality trait identity, we must define first what personality traits to profoundly understand the matter is. By definition taken from the internet, personality trait define as the “the unique set of characteristics and qualities that a person uniquely possess”. Though it is stated each of an individual has unique characteristics but there are a few do have the same characteristics but a way that a person implement to combine his traits in a different way makes it to create a unique irreplaceable conglomeration of traits as an individual.



After answering the personality traits, I had realized that I still have the chance to improve my attitudes or any other aspects of my whole being. Taking the test makes me think that it help me a lot to know myself severely and had answered all my questions why sometimes I acted in a different way from others. Based from the site where I had taken the test, the questionnaire are all answerable by agreeing or disagreeing from the given situations which are all constrains to real-situational personality aspects and the results give emphasizes on the big five major personality traits that are said to be an imperative aspects of the characteristics of a human being. This personality trait includes  (1) Openness to Experiences, (2) Conscientiousness, (3) Extraversion, (4) Agreeableness and (5) Neuroticism. To comprehend those personality traits stated above, let’s define each one of the traits. First, Openness to Experience – this involves on how you are to experiencing new things, the enjoyment of learning new ideas and concepts and the frightened abilities of you to change what is already you. Second, Conscientiousness – this trait involves on how dedicated you are making things and you do have a strong characteristic of work ethics. Third, Extraversion – refers on how open you are or comfortable in the company of others, it might be a uniqueness of an individual to get alone rather than to go party’s wit the crowd or vise versa. Forth, Agreeableness – it involves on how you try to get along with others and lastly, the Neuroticism – it refers on your emotional stability, on how you time and again get upset over a little thing.



As of the resulted test taken, I had founded a reflection from it. All of me right now and how I acted on my own way are all based and taken from my personality traits. In accordance on the major traits stated above, I got a percentage of  41%, 32%, 45%, 42% and 65% respectively. Reflecting from the percentage presented, I can say that it all of it are taken place in me now. I mean- everything are best describes my personality, it practically work very accurate. It only means that it’s the breakdown of the essence of “who I am” as an individual. To discuss give more reflections on my personality traits. I will reflect to it individually.



Openness to Experiences. This trait engages imagination, artistic interests, emotionality, adventurousness, intellect and liberalism. All are all affecting on how much interested I am in the part of experiencing new things or discovering new things. From the realization breakdown of the percentage I got, I found myself moderately imaginative person who enjoys a good balance imagination between real-world and fantasy, I maybe emotionally afflicted but most of the time it’s a product of my attachment and awareness with my emotions. I love tricky things that which involves artistic ideas which is obviously positively give response from my results. I tend not to change my daily routine or everything what I stated. To make general, I rather choose to still be the same than to start new things again. Looking at the implications made, I can probably say that I need to improve my openness to experiences trait maybe through trying to get involved from new ideas and the strong readiness to be implemented to change or to improve my routines and made it more successive.


Conscientiousness. Apparently, the involvement of dutifulness orderliness, self-efficacy, cautiousness and achievement-striving takes place inside this trait. It exactly pertaining on how I control myself – I found myself not in control of ,y life, I feel dependent on others, feels that I cant live alone- that I need someone to lie on. It really reflects on the way how I manage my time to accomplish task which are really needed to be done but sometimes it works pessimistically- feels like everything are not following on what I desire to have. I make plans and try to follow it properly. I love to think alternative ideas when I seen everything will get in a wrong way. Maybe the best solution for this I to strive harder on achieving my plans and try to make it as a priority.


Extraversion. The trait involves cheerfulness of a person, gregariousness, assertiveness, activity- level and how excitement I feel on seeking activities. It says that I tend to be work less and a person wants to live in a simple, comfortable life. Everything is settled and well-refined; I preferred to be listener in a group activity rather than to lead the team. I want privacy and make myself be reserved and perceive as distant to others. Maybe this would greatly affect the factor of mine to meet new friends. I used to be different from others.


Agreeableness involves trust, morality, sympathy, altruism, cooperation and modesty. I believe that every people are honest and fair but sometimes it holding me back to trust others completely. It stated from the result that I can help others when in need (maybe so..?!lol)…All of these only implies that I enjoy to get involved to other people, fun to help others and finds fellowmen as a good, well molded people.



Neuroticism. The existence of anxiety, anger, vulnerability, depression, self-consciousness and immoderate are all within this trait. It says that I acted calm all of the time but there are times that I feel upset, resentful and bitter if things not go on my way and generally, I pretty anxious when someone criticizes my work and is underestimated. The best thing which could help me with regards to these it to be stable and feel cool and chill on my emotional stability. I need to minimize some of things that can made me feel not worthy of things that surrounds me.
Looking at the general sight of my personality test report, it just only justifies that I experiencing a radiant feeing of tension and confusion when struggles came in, put first plans before proceeding on a variety of hands-on and prefer to be alone than to led a team. I guess it feels like all I got in the test is reverse of the characteristic that a good technopreneur must have. I not really am getting into the fact what a technopreneur is. But I know somehow that all of this could be resolve and be better as what it takes. After those circumstances, I can conclude now some insights that can apparently help to become a good technopreneur and to develop my personality traits.



Focusing on the characteristics that I have, perhaps I should develop a self-confidence to go out on my shell and be involve to the things which I really needed to be in. I possibly have some exercises activities to develop my skills in the form of work and any other matter that could most likely assist me to arrive at positively to each of my objectives and above all, to minimize the intense of my emotional feedback.


As I finished taken the test, I certainly found out that it really help me a lot to develop my technopreneur skills. A successful technopreneur doesn’t only need a smart and wise mind or a high level of intellectual quotient, it should have the combination of proper characteristics to communicate and mingle to other and be involved to other motion. The personality trait that a person to be a good technopreneur is needed and considered necessary to develop. A passion to work and love to the things he do helps a successful technopreneur to face the challenges in life. Though everything gets worst, a clear positive thinking of an individual, a characteristic to take a risk is just one of the factors to be caught up in the process of being a technopreneur. A successful technopreneur never say NO, it does not exist in the mindset of the technopreneur. It’s the process of never giving up, if you needed very badly – you must find a way to achieve it. Finally, a technopreneur bounce back from failure. Successful technopreneur bounce back to failure or looking back from the things which is terrible and dreadful to their career. Learning from mistake can make you a strong successful technopreneur. It can be deceive as set closer to succeeding. These are just few of the characteristics that a person must have, distinctiveness of individuals which makes us unique from each other.



In reality, a famous quote of Mark McCormack (1930) –  “People aren’t inconsistent, but their behavior is”. It’s not the person makes it inconsistent on his doing but rather it’s the behavior of him makes it inconsistent. It only signifies that a characteristics or the behavior, attitudes that a certain individual has can be develop and be improved. Personality implies predictability about how a person will act or react under different circumstances. Each of us has the capability to do things in accordance to become a morally upright personage. A certain experiences can help a person to develop and enhance his emotional or even personality traits. As time and experiences come along the way of us as an individual, the whole lot thing will follow. It does give changes and perseverance to augment us more what we are right now.



Right now, I as a simple and in needs to develop my personality traits to cope up with the reality - wants to incident more challenges and new face of tribulations. I know somehow that it would actually help me to become a unique one and a unique existence of the future technopreneur. These technopreneurial skills help to face people and be connected to them. Not just for the reason of simple conversation but for the stepping stone on my career. In fact, I absolutely agree on what the personality traits test result has given to me, at least now I knew where to set up and when to start.



Aside from the personality trait examination I had also taken the adversity quotient test, intelligence quotient test and even emotional quotient test. All of it is reflect the whole of me, how I commit myself on the things on my own and how I get involved and be affected from the situational things in life. Even the measurement of knowledge I have, though it does not really that high but I guess I still can improve it…and the emotional stability of mine to face the struggles in life, it involves how I can manage things pertaining or in relation to my emotions.



The  personality trait test helps us to agree on how we become exceptional and distinctive from each other. Personality usually refers to that which is unique about us as an individual, it’s sounds as if distinguishes us from others. We have different point of views and approaches on the things we facade each day of our life. A personality traits development is unstoppable. Unstoppable in the sense that each experiences of us experiencing each day goes relentless. The behaviors and attitudes of a person take him into beautiful places of his career. Finally, a person can only be successful when he is not terrified to take a risk yet not afraid to experience failures in life.

my ever wished E-Business

Being a part of the institute of computing and reliably expected by the institute to have ones owned business after the graduation is not at easy as one click on a mouse like the usual thing we do and I, as a newer blossom in the world of technology and starting to learn more and more about techno-business. I should be and must be preparing on any struggles in starting up to the end of my techno-business planned journey. When I think of E-businesses, I unswervingly think of neither how techno-businessman makes it to the peak of neither success nor how they develop a business in their simple ways. The fear of me makes me think that I cant – I can’t arrive at what others can and can’t even go beyond more on what they already have. But somebody told me that in the world of business, you only need to trust yourself because as what he has said “internet-based business doesn't have to be complicated. And when you start a business online it feels intimidating or overwhelming”. So no uncertainties, qualms and worries should be a part of the list, self confidence must take first.



Looking back to the issue above on what business I want to have in relation to technology, I do actually want to have an ONLINE MONEY TRANSMIT. It’s a process of transferring money from a source owned account to a receiver account. Since the fact is we have to relate our business plans to the things we love. And since now that money makes the world go round. And lastly, I love spending money and maybe not just me but everybody when we look it in a practical way. It would be probably favorable to have a business in connection to money. I’ve decided to have online money transmit because I’ve wanted to bring innovations on our old-fashioned style of sending money to other people and I’ve wanted to lessen the burden and fasten the way in sending and receiving money or vise versa. Though we have banks now in which do have an ATM or the Automated Teller Machine but still the hassle of going to banks for the sender to have his money transfer to others makes it time-consuming and even hassle it their part.



The basics of this business are to lessen the physical complications of the clients and make the transactions travels as faster as seconds to accomplish the business deal. Aside from less time-consuming, it also implies safety deals. Especially when it talks about money, everyone is eager to make their money safe against any harm. Here in online banking, money is safe and the have the assurance that where you’re money goes are in a right way. Money goes to where it exactly should be going. This site will not ensure you that the money transmits work properly but also to guarantee you through the insurances that everything are all settled and properly done.
In view of the fact that making a business is expected to do money too as well as gaining from the managed business. For this kind of business plan I have, I will serve as a middleman. Many knew that from being a middleman you earn more – more than what you had expected. You may ask for how this online money transfer works to, it works through or via internet that anyone can transfer or transmit money to anyone he wanted to. And to avoid complexity and safe and sound security from the owner of the money, there are agreements inside the site that should be accepted by anyone who transacts the business with. And personal information of the sender and the receiver of the money to facilitate the security functionality of the site especially when in terms of bank accounts like email address and even mobile numbers. The process of transferring money is through transferring via internet connected to banks with the use of bank accounts of the clients. You may wonder on how I can earn money from the planned business I have. So here it is, my online money transmit site will earn through the clients whom uses it. Well it’s easy like this, when the someone transmit his money to another person through presenting his bank account, I as the administrator of the site will take the responsibility of taking security to the transaction. This web-based money transmission site will receive a small fee from the sender to make his deal secured. The payment of the sender to the secure site will base on the constant percentage that will be implemented pedestal on how much money will be transmitted. And after the transaction has been made, notification emails will be sending to the sender and receiver email address of the client to insure that the money has officially transferred or transmitted. The receiver will notified that he can now withdraw the money transfer to his account. Aren’t that so easy? Not the same as the old thing, it would now be easier to the part of the sender to transmit his remittances to any person in a most convenient way and same as to the receiver. Hence, this world now is already initiated by internet, not all but most of all people, most of us are now engaging to this rounded communicating device technology.



As stated above the privileges and the no hassle thing business, I can may now conclude that I have a great number of prospect clients, no wonder – first in the list are the businessmen. It would be pessimistic to think that a businessman don’t have a bank account, maybe not all businessman but rather most of all are now fit into place with it. They will find it helpful and very friendly-money transmitting strategy. Since we all know that businessman are very conscious with in terms of their money especially when it comes to there profit or maybe in dealing money with the co-businessman. Seconded by the OFW’s, we can’t deny the fact that we are very familiar with the Overseas Foreign Workers. They can only give their remittances to their families through banks and some open-placed money transfer. So, why not converting it to simpler and unique ones? Instead of going outside to transmit their money, why not use it in relaxing and simply sit in front of a computer with an internet access and everything will follow in an easy way. They will find it helpful and very accommodating to manage their time in a very accessible way. Third, small businesses and even big if they like it so. In their part, it will be easy to take the responsibility to transmitting money to the company whom they were negotiating with. Forth – the students, as the world finds very approaching to the innovations in terms of technology. Even students now do have bank accounts because some of the students find it ready to lend a hand to save their money in a most convenient ways. Even employees and employers salary transmission, we do notice now that most of the companies uses an ATM to give their employees salary but why make it more opportune and expendable? With the use of internet, the company with an internet connection would directly send there money on the accounts of their employees as frequent as clicking a site. The company can use of mobile phones to notify their employees that their salaries are already in. Lastly, everyone as long as you have a bank account, you can be accommodated by this online money transmit. I can say that everyone do have a chance to engage in this starting business. And be communicated and connected with it.



After presenting the nature, prospect clients and all it’s contain of this techno-business, are you still not convinced? Don’t you find online banking as fast, convenient and safe way of presenting money via internet? Maybe everyone finds it convincing, imagine…? From the old-fashioned way of sending and receiving money are now can be done through internet. Even me, myself are very convinced to have it.



Now, I am starting to do a plan of my wanted techno-business. I admit that me, my own self needs to learn more. So I’ve research some information to help a business works successfully. From a quantity of sources I’ve read these past few days about the year-by-year changes in world of techno-businesses, majority talks over the bigger and bigger population of techno-businesses. It says that technology and life changes over year-by-year, so if you’re planning to have an online business it will get that impact too. Moreover, it do imply that all of online businesses have a time, not all the season will be the blooming season as what you have expected. It does have some changes – changes in the taste of the new technology innovations. Everything must be on time, dance with the music of technology and everything will just follow. The eMoneyMakingOnline.com presented a variety of strategies in developing an online business and makes it grow. Additionally, it is said that an internet business requires lesser cost to operate and manage, when compared to real world business. These are the following.

A business should have an ability to renovate their visitors online to be a customer – a constant customer. These can be done through implementing the needs of the customer and satisfying their needs because a satisfied customer will come back a million of times on your business and become a customer if they do really like your implied services. It only denotes that a complete effort of getting the interest of the customer will make your internet business company cultivate easily. All of it in an internet business must do to have its business a fast development progress to make the business to serve whatever the customer needs.



Value of Service. Stated above is to have a great number of customers to have a urbanized business. Now, a customer will only satisfy to extend if and only if there is a quality service. Because when there is quality service – a good applied services, there is a huge customer foundation. There is no excuse in business quality services; it should be kept quality in every characteristic or feature in your business as time it grows. Next is the right communication with the customer through showing professionalism in which can give a strong impact to the business to grow and grow more. Above all, is to build an idealistic TRUST to the customer through right quality service. It will be satisfying company to do all of these to your customers.

As your company grows, you have to apply growth strategies till the life cycle of your online business. There are few essential factors which readily affects your online business growth. Through this, it may help you to progress in the right direction especially in operating your business effectively towards growth. The site of eMoneyMakingOnline.com posted the essential factors which affects the online business growth. First, the act of being professional. Because of were talking about online businesses, we are expected first to have a visitor until they stay and become a customer. Network sites are views first and not all visitors are expected to become a customer. A TRUST that should be building by your business plays a major role in whirling your visitors into customers. Seconded by generating a revenue generation strategies. And the last is the presence of uniqueness of your business. Uniqueness in terms of approaches and design in your site makes it perfectly refined. It’s a one way of beating the competitors not basically in terms of personal aspects rather in business management things. From the word itself – UNIQUENESS, the act of being different from others or to become one of a kind, it’s the process of understanding how a business surge in a unique ways. Some great pioneering businessmen in techno-business had said that in business you should not be afraid of the competitors but set as a guidance to understand and analyze the business more. As a final point, the growth of your online business site depends on how you are qualified and trained, unique and custody, keeping quality on your business.



On the other hand, some sites too posted some factors that should be considered in a growing techno-business that gives impact to your business. Primarily are the social media collisions and impacts. As time fast approaching, we can now declare that the world of internet now moved in a social media tools and applications. Everything in the World Wide Web runs in applicable applications. Through those innovations, maybe it’s not just now but until there is a place of development and innovations and until there’s knowledge to employ in the world of technology. An amalgamation of technology and a wide communication all over the world makes a business drive to the spoon of new technology things. Followed by the Online Business competitions and Challenges, though we are all common to that famous business stuff but still we need to comprehend it more deeply and be aware of it continuously. They say challenges and competitions between networks are part of the game. The more challenges and competitors, the more your business becomes very competitive and viable. It triggers the business to do some techniques to develop and to jive with the dancing season of techno-businesses. Next is focusing on quality of your business. Through this, your business will gain and do profits in anytime. As long as you have the right business strategic path in developing the business and the exact business quality content like a precise and accurate quality product, quality services and quality content. Also you were not just keeping the quality of the services you give to your customers, as long as you have the ability to have some improvements and developments that can be or might be implemented – do it, apply it. Proceed to measuring the statistics, in this stage the act of analyzing and reminiscing what had your business done. You have to dig in a deep analysis on or about the business you have or how does it work in the end of the year. In that way, you can say where the time is your business breed and nurture and what did you do to it. After all the analysis has been made, you can now define what you should do and what must be added to make your business grows even more. And can now establish and manipulate other techniques to make your business do better in the next year. Last but not least, making a list on your business mistakes; we can relate it to a famous inspirational quote stated “Learn from your Mistakes”. You can only distinguish what is right or wrong when you do have already experiences with it. At least in the second time around, you can now able to do decisions in a righteous way. In business, now all are in success, everything is compasses with failures and losses. That’s the risking way but very uplifting struggles that a business have. Listing all the mistakes you have done to your business makes you find ways to not doing it again in the next year of your business. A learning must start from own experiences not by others.



In spite of everything, written above are just the helpful techniques in developing a techno-based business, I’m not saying that all of these must be apply to. I just stated it to give you some ideas in building a successful techno-business. After all, a self mastery must be guided accordingly. A business is nothing without great study or analysis on it. Everything are comprises by many steps. In business there is no short cut, it should be done in a gradual way and long detailed process way. Because everything are useless when it brings without a great foundation. A quality of unique and righteous way of developing a business is just few of the aspects in guiding principles in the world of business. Now, when I’ve given a chance to, I will make up all the way to make my business grow in a useful way and in triumphant and victorious way. And after I end this, I will give emphasis on great belongingness of oneself in a business, a business can be only victorious when you give and impose love to what you do. Loving and giving interest on everything you do will make do impossible thing possible. Working hard, believing in oneself and faith in God will made thing follow in your track.

Lessons Learned in the Commencement Address of Steve Jobs

After reading the Commencement Address of Steve Jobs on his speech delivered way back June 12, 2005. I was so touch though I’m not listening on act to where he said all of it but the essence of all the words of wisdom he stated there makes me feel that I’m present and unswervingly listening to him too.

Reading between the lines in the commencement speech of Steve Jobs, I concluded some lessons which can help me to continue what I’ve started and serve as inspirational words to me to chase everything I’ve coveted. 

No one can even forget the words he said – “You’ve got to find what you love,” Job says. It’s really, truly, absolutely and definitely true. You can never be on a place when you were just force to do so by someone or anyone else. You, yourself should be the one to be eager to do that thing because you love too. You’ve got to follow your heart to where it truly beats. It’s just the same as taking a course in college, when you’re not interested to a course, you’ll never choose it. You’ll prefer to take the course you really love because that your fashion. You’re into it though maybe others not. It’s just concluding that everyone has its different place, different interest and different perspective in life. So you can never force yourself or even others to do things which they don’t want. Only oneself can bring him into his interests and do chase it someday.

Never underestimate yourself. Looking at the story of Steve Jobs, he said that he never graduated college. He never has been on a stage to have his diploma. But what’s the difference is he was on the stage on the one of the finest universities in the world which he never expected to happen. He even dropped out from the College of Reed just in the span of time of 6 months. However, he never gets rid of himself though others do. He never look himself as idiot because he was dropped out student instead he became stronger and grasp into it as an inspiration to start all over again. See how pathetic it was to have Steve Jobs in the field of computing. Steve Jobs who doesn’t got a degree. Thus, we should not undervalue whatever we have, even where we have been or what status we have in life. Because once you start fail to appreciate what you have, you’ll just making a way to make others think that you’re NOTHING.

 

Never stop believing and never afraid to continue to start again. Though it’s very tough experience for us student to continue again once we experiencing bad feedbacks from our studies, even a failing grades. It seems that were ashamed to continue because we think of what others will say unto us. The same as Steve Jobs even though he was dropped out by the school but he continue to find something new, something that he thinks that can be his field – the calligraphy, field of typography. The same unto us, when we’re something sort of experiencing bad things, never take it seriously, maybe learn to cope to with it. It’s just saying that you’re alive. You’re capable to experience and feel being down because were just human, no one is perfect and we are all vulnerable to feel pain, hatred and loss. When you feel that you’re not getting into that field, find something else. There’s nothing wrong in trying, at least you’ll try so hard to find so. It’s the process of searching of who you are.

 

Never look forward instead see backwards. In life, you can never tell what will happen tomorrow or the next day after tomorrow. All you can do is see backward, see what things you’ve gain and what you’ve got, see if you win or you loss. Cause there’s no guarantee that life is easy. No guarantee that everyone can be a successful. Once you see backwards of everything what you’ve got. You can say at the end you gain something. Its not that you failed to do things greatly than to passed rightly on it. For the reason that when you look backwards, you’ll see the connections, you’ll see how you gain what you already have on this day is a product of the things you do yesterday. So never set things forwards or never connect the dots forward instead connect it backwards, cause you’ll never know, at the end you can do more what you had expected. You need to believe in yourself, believe on your guts, your life and everything what you have. Perhaps, you can set your goals in life which can serve as your sword in getting along the way into your success.

Everything happens for a reason. The act of firing Steve Jobs from his own made-company is not that easy. Imagine being fired from your own company? From your own product of work, you will see it as very unfavorable. In reality, everything happens for a reason, maybe we don’t understand directly why but as time goes by you’ll see it will give you things even more. It’s just the same as the famous quote of “one you loss one, you will get the better.” In life, when you loss someone or something important, you loss it for a reason. Perhaps, God wants to give you something better than what you already have or maybe his trying to give you some lessons through getting something important from you because you can only see the importance of a thing when it’s already gone. Like in Steve Jobs, losing of his company makes him apparently create another one. And find it helpful to be again on his career. True to us, it’s not saying that when we loose something, we failed. Instead, it leads to another career, more efficient.

Never lose faith – Faith in oneself and faith in God. As what Steve Jobs said, “Life hits you sometimes in the head with a brick.”  All you need it to believe that you can stand again after those trials, after you lose in a game there is always be a place for standing again, for fighting again. Only you can make you still stand stronger after what happens and only you can kept you going and going whatever field you wanted. You only got to believe on your work, cause that is the only way to be satisfied on what you have, the only thing help you pursue everything what you’ve started.

Make each day important. Everyone is triggered when we hear the saying “If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.” What about you??? What will you do when you know that this would be your last day on earth?? Are you going to seat all day or do things that would make others happy because you were there or simply do nothing?? The life we have is just a borrowed life, we have borrowed time, and we live in a limited time. All of us will die, not necessarily at the same time but on our individual time. So live each day as your last day, make each day useful to fulfill things, make each day remarkable, inspirable and memorable not just to you but perhaps to others too. Make everyone happy because there were once you in their life. For you will never know, no one can predict how long will you be on this earth. You will never know how will you die, if might be you’ll die because of accident, because of disease or maybe be just because of fate. If dying can never be healed or avoided by any other medicine, then try to live life truly and inspirable, never be afraid of dying instead be ready to face it. As taken from the words of wisdom of Steve Jobs, he emphasizes that we should not waste time, don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking, don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice and most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.

Be humble – “Stay hungry and Stay foolish.” It only implies that never stop searching for a new ideas, new discoveries and new innovations. A process of learning never stop, it’s an unending and undying process of education for us individuals. Until you still have life and still breathing, never stop – never limit your self only in one place. As long as there is still a time for evolving, why not grab it and fight for it. Regardless of the age we have, it’s not the hindrance to continue learning. This “Stay Hungry” implies that stay hungry to know things, to face new ideas and “Stay Foolish” to understand new things. But when time comes that you, yourself know you knew a lot, Stay Humble – BE HUMBLE. Act as if you need more and act as if a lot more you are needed to know.

Listed above are just few of the lessons can be taken in the commencement address of Steve Jobs, there are still a lot more. Never limit yourself and try to discover things.     

   

Manifestation about the movie "Pirates of the Silicon Valley"

1. What are the factors that contributed to the success and failure of Steve Jobs as a technopreneur?


In the field of technology and business, bundles of factors should be in mind of the technopreneur. In the movie entitled “Pirates of the Silicon Valley”, Steve Jobs as business technopreneur got a good and bad side of it. As of his success on his business with the cooperation of his friend named Waz which has started their home made computers in the making at the garage. There are factors contributed to the success of Steve Jobs, first in the list is his “sense of curiosity”. Steve and company just started their creation of computers through the things they seen in the reality. Simple thing that makes him think of making or creating resourceful thing that could actually bring him to fortune and big changes to the society. Simple as presented in the movie, the contribution of watching movies gives him an idea to create a more creative invention that might others can’t. It’s just this simple, “Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit.” Steve Jobs just simply believe on what he got and what he already knows. He is full of determination to do what was his curiosity’s product. Mr. Jobs as a technopreneur in the movie set his mind not just inside the box but rather beyond the box and crosses every inch of opportunities that occurs and will occur to his life. He looks at his business “beyond his eyes” and arrived at a place of originality. 


Seconded by his “fearless attitude”, he is not afraid to do things and try to test everything whatever he made to see what would happen which actually good impact to their project proposals. At least, Steve Jobs and his company made a choice to test everything first before presenting it to the people inside the society. Quoted from one site I just visited, “The point is that your life is filled with challenges, triumphs, disappointments and victories. Every area of your life holds the potential for you to operate inside of fear, to push through your fears, or to be stopped cold by them”. The same as Steve Jobs does in the movie, he continues his business behind those disappointments and struggles he faced after what his competitor named Bill Gates. After he gave his trust to Gates and present everything what his company gets to Mr. Gates. And after losing his career made caused by the success of Bill Gates to diminished everything and get whatever he has in his business. Steve Jobs still stand and fight for fortune. He is not fear to everything that might happen to him after what had happen to his career as a technopreneur. As what I have seen in his character as Steve Jobs the technopreneur, he is not afraid to do what he feels fearful to him. 

Third, the “ability to have a good quality communiqué skill”. Mr. Steve Jobs have the allure or charisma to influence and convince other people. He got the minds and trust of others in terms of business negotiations. Like what the movie had, he can directly convince other people to have their partnership on hands with him to make a good production of business. He has the ability to convince other to rely their trust and worthy to Steve Jobs as if nothing bad will happen to the business if they give their asset to Steve and give the rest of the business matters to Steve Jobs. Mr. Jobs is not just mentally good in facing other business man but also he has knowledge and skills of observing what a businessman looks like- I mean physically. Steve even cuts his hair just to look good in front of his business partners to be.


Lastly,” his goal setting to be a BOSS “rather than an employee. He prefers to be the employer than to be an employee which actually successfully filled in the movie. Based on his skills, determination and any other attitude he has got him spot to be the right one in the field of business as the boss. He is smart and wise enough to lead a business. It is said that to be a good businessman, you need to focus and not to limit your self to be JUST an employee but rather more perfectly to be a good, skillful employer. 


Through factors contributed in the success of Steve Jobs stated above, still he does experience rocks on his way in his career as the technopreneur. Here are some factors contributed to his failure in his career:

First, the cause and effect of KARMA. Steve Jobs stole a thing called mouse and the graphic interface produced by XEROX Company which made Steve Jobs to be a powerful and leading technology-based businessman in the society at that time. He made historical mark in the place. Though he made it successfully to stole what he don’t owns but a revenge will came maybe not from the people he played but maybe in the character of others. The stolen product of Steve Jobs from XEROX again- stole by Bill Gates which made Steve Jobs lose his career and bestow down from his thrown. Maybe it just this simple yet so true, Karma is the term about the cycle of cause and effect, it involves what happens to a person, happens because they caused it with their actions. After all, it’s neither a punishment nor reward; its just makes people feels responsible about their life and how they treat others.

Lastly, forgotten when he started. As Steve Jobs go along to his business and reach the highest point of it, he had forgotten the things that made him in the top. Not just things but especially those whom he shared and whom had shared their ideas and knowledge to the business. Like the people behind the business, they are not machine just plugged-in and start to work. They are people who have their limits to do everything. Yet Steve Jobs forgot it everything, he is making worst and even worst to treat others as if he don’t see the positive part that his employees contributed to his business. The partnership of employee and employer sets a big role in developing a business. Everyone needs each other to survive and fills what consumers needed. 

After presented the factors contributed in the success and failure of Steve Jobs in the movie “Pirates of the Silicon Valley”, a thought from a source pull it on as one. “Being a technopreneur is about more than just starting a business or two, it is about having attitude and the drive to succeed in business. All successful Technopreneurs have a similar way of thinking and posses several key personal qualities that make them so successful in their field and business”.

2. How do you see yourself as a technopreneur? 



Me, myself and I as an technopreneur???...hmmmmmmm….sounds different but why not??Everyone has the opportunity to engage in that thing. Maybe me or maybe you in the NEAR future. In fact in business, money moves fast. But seriously, when I enrolled this subject and got some introduction of what technopreneurship is. I suddenly think why not engaging in the craze and more involve about the reality. Specially now, all people are craving for money even the richest man still craving for a lot more. Mostly, when I’d seen the movie “Pirates of the Silicon Valley”, I convinced even more to proceed not to be employee but a great employer. I will frankly say, I badly needed money not because of power but to survive in this kind of world we’re living today.

As I know myself above what others know about me, I am not actually have that enough knowledge and skills to be a successful technopreneur but I’m wilingl to- willing to take a risks to have what it takes to be a successful one. Not the same as what Steve Jobs and Waz nor Bill Gates and company got in the movie but I’ll make my own way of improving myself and be determine and responsible to do things which are morally upright. As of looking myself in the mirror as a technopreneur, I can’t deny the fact that I can’t do what the characters portrayed in the movie. Maybe if I were in their place, maybe I’ll do the same. Hence, I’ll tries to set a goal to avoid things that could bring difficulties to others and hit them behind their backs. As long as I can manage not to do so, then I’m willing to abide all things to save what I have not just business but also the people involve in the industry.

Like in the movie a competition arise between Gates and Jobs, possibly if I’m in the place that stands to what I believe, maybe so I’ll do the same. But not in the highest point of even drowning and stealing others’ things just to excel in the field but rather to do things outside the involvement of others- I mean to do things on my own simple ways without hitting others. I’ll make use of my creativeness and curiosity to make my own products and be more original.

Relating it to reality, putting up a business is always good for the economy. Technopreneurship supplies new products and services to the market, increases competition, and generates jobs and expendable income. I have searched some successful attitudes start-up revealed by the successful pinoy technopreneur. Stated by a pinoy technopreneur named Joey Gurango –a founder and CEO of software development startup WEBWORKS OS the top 3 secret factors how a business lasts at a long time. First,  the business needs a real technopreneur at its helm. A real entrepreneur, according to Joey Gurango, is someone who has the ability to create a clear vision, effectively communicate that vision to other people (employees, investors and shareholders, customers), and pursue it relentlessly. Take this for an example, not because you know how to bake a cake you will stand a business of cake shop. What is important is the business itself. In other words it’s not about the secret cake recipe but the business strategy that will get the cake efficiently produced and distributed. Over all, an idea is just not enough in putting up a business but to analyze it deeper and read beneath the lines.


Second,  the right time when to start the business. Most businessmen don’t believe that there is ever a bad time to start a business. What important is it must be carefully consider prevailing business conditions in order to position your product or service properly and increase your chances of succeeding. Like in the movie, Steve and Gates don’t consider what season to start their businesses. What they do is to consider the facilities they already on hands to start what career they wanted to start and offer to fellowmen.

Finally,  stay committed to their vision. According to CEO Joey Gurango, It’s not that easy to stay to what is your vision. It doesn’t go smoothly like as the wind goes by, not even the same as safe and sound. It does not go straight to your goals, plans and projections. The reality is there will be moments when you might not be hitting your margins or you have to sacrifice your own salary to be able to pay your employees - but as long as the business is making a profit, stick it out.

That how technopreneurship molds the world. From simple to more complex but reliable sources of knowledge intertwined within in the minds of technopreneur. And this is what Technopreneur aims to provide you with, the latest information on new, emerging Internet technology trends, sifting the hype from business reality. Business and technology are almost always entwined. Evolution of technology inadvertently leads to evolution in business. The one who spots technological trends and learns to use it, gains an upper hand over their competition.

Based on the Singaporean research about IT career goals and career management, as an IT student, I’m very much eager to have what the institution of computing expected to their IT students- to be a successful TECHNOPRENEUR. Confronted above, the world needs IT to develop more what we already have, I’m not deliberately to be the one but from now on I’m trying to be one of those future members of the flocks. Not because the institute wants but rather I myself want to be change. Change everything what had the culture started, I am more curious about being employer that to be employee. Though I know right know I’m not that good and wise enough to be a technopreneur but a great determination of mine to get what I want in my life maybe can bring me stand on the top. The same as of Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and each company in the movie, they were not exactly looking for fortune about money but a deep determination and obsession of them to produce something new to the society.

3. Would you take the same career path that Steve Jobs took? Why or why not? 


Definitely a big NO! In the first place, I’m different from Steve Jobs so why trying to do the same path of career like what he had? Not the same in the sense of how he uses his knowledge to have what he had to reach the highest peak of his career. If I were to choose what career I would take up, I would definitely choose what is right for me not just because I see others became successful of choosing the same field of career.
In the world of technopreneurship, people are tempted to do these which are not good. It’s up to the technopreneur if he chooses to be selfish just to outclass above others. A good technopreneur stands not to be egotistic neither self-centered. Everyone has the opportunity to become rich even richer and richest in the world without replication to others neither scenarios nor degrading others or even stealing things from others just to sense the feeling of superiority.



All people are lying in this world one of a kind. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are just one of the exemplar in which we can say or conclude that everyone can never be in the same field – in which both of the two are in the top. Most of the instances exist that only one can be on the top. Thus, for me as a new existence of the field would frankly say that I can be a successful and be richest technopreneur as what Steve Jobs and Bill Gates without using the techniques that they modeled in the movie. I believe that all good things which exist are fruits of originality. The sense of creativity, obsession to your chosen passion, prefer to be different from anybody else and the intimate relation with the work is just few of the lifting words that can be apply into the reality to become a successful technopreneur.



A quotation attributed to Art Buchward (1925-2007), “An economist is a man who knows 100 ways of making love but doesn't know any women”. Like in the field of technology or make it straight in the field of technopreneurship, every each of us has the chance to choice where we wanted to engage our knowledge. There are so many bundles of field or kind of technopreneurial businesses that we may encounter to and be in it. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates just got one of it. In relation to the question, I as a new bloomer of this field of career, trying immensely to cope up with the new development installed already in the society. An intense and creative motion of my vision to reach my career goals gives me an idea to set ways to achieve it. In my case, maybe I will be a technopreneur someday but not the same of what Mr. Jobs’ way of created his own career.



Choosing a career is dependent on how you set your career path. It can be anything; it only defines how you spend your life to engage in that career for almost a lifetime. There must be a career goal setting regardless of what kind of career you choose. Maybe I will be a technopreneur but not in the same damn way Steve Jobs of Gates done just to be a successful one. I can make use of my own simple, reliable and fair play way to become near of what Jobs got. Simply because I badly disagree on how Steve Jobs finds a way to develop and established a business from a wrong and dirty parts he played in the story.
Understanding technopreneurship understands how to be a good technopreneur. Being technopreneur relies on what fundamental goals you had settled on your mind-setting before doing an act. Some sources from internet rely to these two fundamental goals on how to accomplish and reach success in the field of technopreneurship. First is to generate the interest of oneself to produce a product of good technopreneurial; interest of ones can engender to send you to your chosen career. And lastly, to spread awareness of not only the advantages of being your own boss but also the discipline and the challenges you must face in the process. Relating it to the movie, as what Steve Jobs acted, he sometimes acted that he don’t need anyone. He set himself as the one whom others badly needed in them order to survive. A technopreneur must be responsive to its environment and co-workers without looking at the status they had within the company.
After I watched the movie and touched by the scenes portrayed, I suddenly figured it out that the best way to decide what career you spend your life is stated on how the analysis, criticize you’ve took first just to figure out to what talents that would certainly suit to the requirement of the chosen field. Remember that career goals don't stop when you've landed a job in your dream career. In order to keep your career goals on track, you'll probably find that you need to keep setting new career goals. The movie “Pirates of the Silicon Valley” triggers me to fulfill and finish what I’ve started. This movie strikes a lesson to reality, reality of making yourself worthy and be a successful ones on the near future. Especially for those students who invoke in the field of computing like me and any other hundreds of students whom are wishing to fulfill there dreams and be contented on what they had reach.



After all, the decision is always on the hand of the individual. For me, I would rather be on my originality than to copy-right what others done to be high-quality technopreneur. Me as an ordinary individual can be as what Jobs and Gates reach if only I believe on myself. Because a globally competitive technopreneur takes challenges and strive to live their lives with greater success. They don’t fear to fail otherwise they take failures as a learning experience, a stimulator to look things differently and stride for next challenges. It goes to a process of developing and continual improvements of oneself. Technopreneurial takes processes that require strategic decision-making and bib hit of wise availability.
