Do you understand?

1) Do you think all the characteristics of a successful entrepreneur are equally important or are some more important than the others? Explain your answer.

*For me, it is all equally important because if you don't have some of them you will not be a successful entrepreneur at all.

Can you understand?

Questions:

1)Evaluate the different entrepreneurial characteristics under PECs. How does applying similar characteristics help us succeed in other areas of life? Explain your answer by giving examples.

*All of the characteristics gives us the right path to success if you have it all. If we apply it simultaneously, it will be better because it will make us a better entrepreneur and it will make us SUCCESSFUL entrepreneur, too...
For example, if you don't have any self-confidence  how will you present your presentation/project/business proposal/product to investors/company/buyers..


2)Explain how having the Personal Entrepreneurial Competencies can help you become a successful entrepreneur.


*It will help us in different ways because it is the right characteristics of Today's Successful Entrepreneurs and it shows us to be the entrepreneur that would be successful in the Society of Business.

Question:
If you were an entrepreneur, what particular business would you be in? Why?

Answer:
If I were an entrepreneur, I would be in the pastry shop business because it just don't sell pastries but I would also sell  the best quality products that I may sell, offer and recommend to my costumers. I want my costumers to recognize the product of "Hardwork" of my pastry chefs and I want to earn a lot of earnings so that I could make and dicsover new ingredients for my cakes/cupcakes/muffins/brownies. I want to be a pastry shop owner because I want to bake/cook someday that could make me an entrepreneur. Loving what your doing makes you a good entrepreneur that also leads you to the "Success" that you always wanted.

Konrad Zuse  was the one who invented the "Modern Computer". Konrad Zuse invented the "Modern Computer" because he wants to overcome his difficulty of doing a large calculation. But nowadays, Computer is used for Entertainment, Education, Art and etc. Computers may be a good or bad influence to students but mostly, Computers destruct students in their studies, instead of doing their assignments or studying their lessons, they are playing games in the computer. But to some students they are a good influence, Why?...because it helps them to search or research... It makes them discover new things, because in computer, there are movies that can be watched in youtube, pictures in photobucket, communication(chatting) in facebook, websites for Games and etc.Computers don't know everything: your personality, what family you came from unless you're popular. Computers were made and produced by Science but invented by an Inventor. But what is the only thing that I may tell you, is that Books are more important than Computers but not only computer but so many more, Some people know all the things from the computer but in the books, those some people I am referring don't know what's with the book you're reading because Technology runs their life, They know everything from the computer but what did they don't know is that Technology is running their life, What time will they be eating, what time will they be taking a bath or what time will they gonna spent their time with their family because they almost spent  the whole day using their "Computers". They are people sitting in the chair wasting their time in chatting, searching or texting, they always say: "Time is Gold", so why are those people wasting their times to those non-important matters. Reading books is not the only good thing you can do, it could be playing with your friends or talking with your friends, because it could develop their personality, they could learn how to socialize with new friends/classmates. But for you, is the Computer helpful or helpless?
