Reading Reflection No. 2

For this reading reflection, I have decided to read How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big by Scott Adams. This book stood out to me because I believe everyone faces failure at some point in their life and it should be something to learn from and to help you move forward. The overall concept of this book was to explain how to embrace failure rather than be embarrassed by it. The main point of this story was to explain how Scott Adams failed at many jobs, startups and has made his failure known to the world. Scott is famous for Dilbert Office Cartoons which is an American comic strip. Scoot learned to never give up and to keep trying even if he failed because it will always work out in the end and you will learn from your mistakes. This connected with this entrepreneurship class because it showed how Scott started his own business and company and although he failed along the way he was able to push through and succeed. It shows that you should never give up and keep on trying as you learn from your mistakes. I learned after reading this book was that Scott did struggle along the way and his motivation is inspiring for someone who is trying to start their own company.
