Learnings..

What have you learn in Techopreneurship I?

          Five months had already past. It only means that my previous days in spending Technopreneurship 1 had also past away. But as a student, time may come and go but my learning will always stay and forever be treasured. Just like my any other subject, Technopreneurship 1 will also do the same. As far as I could remember, we did not have an chalk-board discussion but instead had a seminar type of discussing our area in which we give focus.

            To start it off, it is my gratitude to pass all sort of test that I and the rest of the class had. For the first quarter of the semester, we had it ourselves the opportunity to know more about ourselves. As I could remember, we had four different type of test namely The Personal Trait Test, Adversity Quotient and both Emotional and Intellectual Quotient. The fist test that we had was the Personal Trait Test. I could still remember how our facilitator was being delighted knowing that all of us fall on the category of “somewhat entrepreneurial”. Of course, if I could be that facilitator it will also be a great idea knowing that I am handling the most number of possible student that could be a great technopreneur. For me, it is also a good thing since I did not expect it to be that well since I am not into any form of business and is not inclined to it that much. Somehow, it painted a smile on my face knowing that it is still possible for me to be inclined with it. The next test was letting ourselves know our Emotional Quotient and I’m very much satisfied to the result although I know from the very beginning that I have a stable emotional state. In this regard, I can say that this is one of my edges among all other. I could say this since I’ve known some of them for and that I ca say that some of them have emotional problems. I know that everything is not constant and will always be subjected to changes. But the one thing that I am very much sure of is the fact that I am able to control myself and is very much expandable to any form of changes. I know that this character can be use din growing a business since as a business venture, he or she has to deal with people. Another test that we had was Adversity test. This kind of exam helps us to evaluate ourselves if we are capable of settling different kind of problems. It let us know how capable we are in dealing and in handling different situations that could fall either in the field of business or in our own life’s application. Now, the last and the most interesting test that I had was when I’ve got to know my Intellectual Quotient. Since then I am always puzzled until where can my mind can go. Since my elementary days, I wanted to know my IQ but I always fail to have it due to the fact that I am afraid of my own result. Now, the time has come for me to know it all by myself. Far from I expected, I received a more than average level. I pretty well know that its not that high but what amazed me was that fact that I am not that kind of person in which I expected. From that I had formulated a saying that goes like this, “Don’t be little yourself.” From then on I somehow gained something for myself, and that is self worth and confidence.

            As we continue ourselves in the world of entrepreneurship accompanied by the power of technology, I got to meet two of the most admiring people and these are in the person of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. These two individuals opened my eyes for success and possibilities. After we viewed Pirates of the Silicon Valley, I come to a point of realization that possibilities are always open and will always be there for us to grab and maximized it. From the movie, it teaches me or us to stay foolish and hungry for success. I admit, that I am very much fascinated and delighted with moral and the flow of the story. Two thumbs up for it. Now, what I feel is a very great and big chances of opportunity that somehow it would be a big help in my entire existence here on earth, I could be that someone that everyone will look up to. Well, you can’t blame me from imagining anyway. Another thing, during our discussion in the past semester, our laboratory room (which was used as our classroom) were trembled and quaked by each of the technopreneur group. It was then that all of us craved for that thumbs up coming from our beloved mentor. Eventually, our group was rejected once. But however, we were not feeling like humiliated since almost all of us got the same rejection. But that feeling of nothingness was replaced by a deep joy since we had that precious approval from our facilitator. From that experience, I learn that making a proposal is not as easy as anyone could imagine. From that moment on, I forgot that I am now in college. I thought that its result will not cause us much, but undeniably I was totally wrong. It would really take time in formulating an idea and I believe that it will all be less stressful if we would know what we love, where our interest are and with regards to the things that we are pissed off. Yeah, we also had this activity and honestly I enjoyed evaluating myself with regards to my answers. In our first listing, what we all wrote was all true but the problem was could not climb up to our desired goal. So, we had it again our second listing and by this time we were able to connect it to a real entrepreneur and for me, it was not an easy thing. After the rejection our brain storming with my group mates, alas, were able to end up a very satisfying idea. Actually we were splitted to two business ideas. I could still remember that we did this a week during our field trip and seminars while the other one was an idea from my sister. During the time of our class, me and my colleagues is about to present our first proposal. During that time, there’s no business idea were able to succeed yet and that makes us tremble and makes us shiver. I don’t know but it excites me more and challenges me of maximum intensity. That was the reason why I am very much eager to stand and show to them our proposal. But, as what we can observed, all of the ideas that were trashed were all simple and labeled as “choks to go”. It means that it is existing and eventually there’s a lot of businessman out there who are practicing it nowadays. So, without further ado, we changed our proposal again and made a highly defined tympanic. This was the idea coming from my sister who used to be a nursing student. I admit that the  very first time I’ve gotto hear about this, I DOUBT since I was thinking that it is something that is not achievable and could not be realized if it is us who make and do its realization. If only O knew that that this was  the thing that our facilitator had been searching.

Making a business proposal is not a joke. It could not make us smile but t could jump us for joy. It would not give us stress but it could bring us into extreme happiness and success. After all of those heart whelming activities and mind bugling stuffs, finally we had it ourselves the learning not just only the hardships pf making the business proposal but as well as the teaching of perseverance, patience and pursuing to be successful. Until now, I could still remember how my classmates would like after rejection. They would even cryL. But everything is settled and now we are heading more to a wonderful journey.

            It seems like I had a lot o learning and it is all comprised with thoughts and ideas. I could still remember how my brother would eagerly ask to what kind of business that we could put up. He is very much eager in investing such but he could not see and find a good one. He often asked me of some ideas that he could use. But those questioning happened during my innocence (lolJ). Now, if ever he would ask me again, I could have an answer and would be able to exchange ideas with him. With my learning, I will let other people know it and share the things which I also learned from the class discussion. Assuming that I am already grown up and if ever given the chance and opportunity of having the things which I needed, I would like to put up a business on my own and help other people to be employed. By that I would be satisfied and if I already have this growing and developing business, it would be of great chance to be a capitalist and help the beginners in the field. How I wish, I could have all of this.

            I know that there is still a lot more in technopreneurship and I believe that I can be able to attain all of this by a rigid training and learning in Technopreneurship II. I know I can and all things would be all possible, in God’s mercy and plan. GOD BLESSES us all. I need 801 more. (1, 646)
