Reading Reflection #3 - 27A

How To Fail At Almost Everything And Still Win Big

1. Scott Adams, in my opinion, is the working man's champion. He believes in hard work and the end goal. In essence, success through multiple failed ventures is the ultimate goal. His book primarily features a a list for success, broken down into your health, your finances, and lastly, the people around you and your duty to the world. Although this may seem selfish at first, when you don't take care of yourself first, you become a burden to your family and loved ones.
2. ENT3003 has taught me that to properly assess how you will succeed at something, you must first detail the necessary steps, execute those tasks, and then analyze your mistakes and retrieve feedback to amend your initial appraisal. In that regard, failing and learning from those mistakes will lead you to ultimate success in life. 
3. The exercise I would design is assessing your current life and seeing what you could add/change. This includes diet, exercise, sleep schedule, leisure time, study time, work, stress from school or work, vacation time, and relationships. After assessing these things, one would choose 2-3 things to take a stab at to change it for the better. You could look at this as a pseudo New Year's resolution. Only, you should alway have a resolution in life, not just at the beginning of the year. 
4. The biggest surprise of this book was the simplicity of this book. The literature is not hard to understand or difficult to digest and put into practice, it is simply a brilliant book because it details the obvious things in life. The following quote sums up this surprise the best

"Exercise, food, and sleep should be your first buttons to push if you're trying to elevate your attitude and raise your energy."
