21A Reading Reflection No. 2

1.    Scott Adams provides insight into his own methods and formulas to find success. I found it very interesting how he emphasizes putting yourself first by maintaining good health before anything else to acquire success. You cannot succeed in life without taking care of yourself and putting your goals before anything else.

2.    The book connects what we learn in ENT 3003 because Scott Adams persuades readers to take control on their schedule; therefore, he underscores the need for time management and organizing a schedule that this class definitely helps us learn from the beginning of the course. 

3.    The exercise I would invent for this class based would include a documentation of your entire week’s schedule. Students would list out their daily activities and schedules of everything that they do in specific times and places. For instance, I would write I attend my International Business class in Heavener Hall at 11:45 am, then I attend the gym for 2 hours. This detailed schedule can help students organize their activities and keep control of their time.

4.    The biggest surprise in reading this book was Adams’ emphasis on personal health and positivity to succeed. I honestly always thought success came from working as hard as possible despite its wear on your mental health; however, this book has changed my perspective on the keys to success and helped me to see others’ mentalities on success.
