Given a chance to have a business at this early age is not just like melting an ice cream in your mouth. In short managing our own venture is never that easy. This discussion compromised the factors in order to have an elusive idea of business inclined with technology in the end of this forum. But I guess as an “baby technopreneur”, I will start my proficient techno business. A business that is easy to handle in spite of extremely competition in the world of economics. We have loads of thing to consider- experience, education, hard assets, and human assets all deployed in our wonderfully pure and extremely demanding production.
At the end f this article is the techno business which I prefer to create, the nature of the business and the target clients with the help of these following facts, details and information that follows.
To define first what is business, according to my research business is also known as a company, enterprise, and firm is a legally recognized organization designed to provide goods or services, or both, to consumers, businesses and governmental entities. Businesses are dominant in capitalist economies. Most businesses are privately owned. A business is typically formed to earn profit that will increase the wealth of its owners and grow the business itself. The owners and operators of a business have as one of their main objectives the receipt or generation of a financial return in exchange for work and acceptance of risk. Notable exceptions include cooperative enterprises and state-owned enterprises. Businesses can also be formed not-for-profit or be state-owned. If we are planning to have a business, we will stick to the fact that business is tough thing if we don’t have any backgrounds and perception to visualize how it works.
In addition from Wikipedia, there are four basic forms of ownership ---- sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation and cooperative. Sole proprietorship: A sole proprietorship is a business owned by one person. The owner may operate on his or her own or may employ others. Partnership: is a form of business in which two or more people operate for the common goal which is often making profit. Corporation: is either a limited or unlimited liability entity that has a separate legal personality from its members. A corporation can be organized for-profit or not-for-profit. Cooperative: Often referred to as a "co-op", a cooperative is a limited liability entity that can organize for-profit or not-for-profit. A cooperative differs from a corporation in that it has members, as opposed to shareholders, who share decision-making authority. This will alleviate our idea to know the people or the management behind on it. I remember our last lesson in Accounting 2 which is partnership and corporation. Sir Dan said that it is better to have a partnership it terms of business to supervise. It is because if ever some future events or known as “contingencies”.
One factor that alleviate in creating a business is the factor is a simple plan. Of course it is important to think many times, plan for the best and sooner work your plan in building a business for you not to regret in the end. My fledgling venture doesn’t necessarily need a complex strategy document, just some basics. I guess you are wondering on why we still need a business plan. It is because the first step in moving forward. What are the things in avoiding a business plan short time, crowded area and wrong timing generating a business.
The subsequent elements are the main part of establishing a fledgling techno business bringing in success. These are the following:
• Choice Of Business. Why have you chosen this business? Are you passionate about this particular business, or just about being in business? We must love the business we are in. Loving and enjoying your own business wont get through the days when business turn against us. But loving a certain business isn't enough if the business we love is on the way out. One very important success factor is choosing a business that is going to be vital for as long as we can see. We have to be passionate about business to be successful, but take care not to fall in love with the wrong business.
• Education and Experience. If we are going to ask if education and experience, which of the two is more important? Then my answer would this be plenty of highly educated business failures, as well as many highly successful business owners who are not very well educated. Of course we have also considered the best side of success is those who are have adequate education and experience. But one of the entrepreneur once said that experience trumps education. When it comes to running a small business, it takes 25 years of industry experience over an industry.
• People. These are the management, founders and the key employees who make the company work. A well company with a weak and poorly functioning team may not valuable in terms of market place. Good team work is what a capitalized company needs specially with the usage of technology. Workers should be versatile to what circumstances may happen. The owner also a risk taker, ready in all the challenges. Good people are actually considered rare. External team is the paid professionals’ .Internal teams are the founder and the employee who make the company work.
• Creativity in Management. Being resourceful needs in every small business of an technopreneur. There are two hard truths about the management. Some entrepreneurs are not good managers. This means that several manager are not good in carrying or managing their workers. In cline with technology the project manager should good in their field. Some excellent managers don’t have a creative bone in their bodies. This indicate that good managers cant do their job well because they are only good in innovating ideas but never in leading without the help of his fellow worker. Honestly is the best policy here. Be honest with yourself. If you’re an entrepreneur through-and-through, sell what you create quickly. A techno business with technology be sure that all your products are reliable and trustworthy. Though there are times that equipment in cline with technology doesn’t function normally. So be pretty sure the warranty of the said hardware .If you're a hide-bound manager, congratulations: You probably run a nice, tidy ship. But will need to find someone who can deliver the creative organization will require maintaining a competitive advantage in the marketplace. I think this factor is the most overlooked of all of the success factors.
• The Industry .The choice of business. This factor encourages us to find out if the industry we are considering has high potential or low potential. Since we are requiring creating a techno business, we are going to consider the environment of what today is. So with that we are not in a low potential in industry. You're probably asking, "Why would anyone pick a low potential industry?" Well, believe it or not, it happen everyday. But only to those who don't do their industry homework. Low potential could e associated with the business owner. If we start a business that has high potential, but we lack adequate capital, experience, or other key elements of success, we have created low potential for the industry.
The definitions of high and low potential might seem intuitive, but not always.
High Potential Intuitive - Obviously, a high potential industry is one that's emerging, or at least hasn't spent too much time on the maturity. Much of the technology industry would fit this profile. A high potential industry is also one that affords a low capital investment, and/or one where you can operate with a small number of employees.
Low Potential Intuitive - A low potential industry is one that has already seen it's best days, turn of the 20th century, turn of the 21st century. Industries that are capital and people intensive, and/or highly specialized, are also examples of those with low potential.
• Records This one area where education usually surpasses experience. In recording data about every detail in your transactions, this is your evidence in checking the flow of the sales of your venture. For instance some prominent businesses need an accountant to verify and balance the asset, income and expenses particularly a time period. A business owner long on experience but short on education will typically be more likely to rely on instinct than documentation. The more educated business owner, on the other hand, will be more comfortable creating data and managing with it. Successful businesses must manage the information they collect: financial statements, customer records, sales performance and other categories. Educated business owner will usually begin in data collection, but we have to be aware that owner must have to apply those rules effectively in the marketplace. Either way, the educated and the experienced both must make a journey of understanding, and each one must decide which lane they have to travel to make this journey.
To be more wise and informative, the additional ideas are the 5 easy ways to start our Business Planning. Have we been putting off the business planning? The following are the five quick and easy way to start planning a business.
• Doing an Analysis. This analysis is definitely stands for weaknesses, strengths, opportunities and threats. These may possibly and normally occur in all aspects of the . Don't argue about what goes where. Don't criticize contributions. It's brainstorming. Just jot down the points and record them. Managers should follow the right strategies of the evaluation in the industry of technopreneurship.
• Compare plans to actual sales. Since we are not intellectually prudent about actual sales it is important to seek the help of the professionals in line with managing and comparing plans and strategies to actual sales.
• Be connected to the best people around. There are times that most business owners don’t have much talking even to their customers. As a technopreneur we must achieve the real conversation to our respective clients. In order to catch our customer’s attention most especially the good trademark which we try to possess. First make a good list. Of course we don’t have to cheat ourselves in talking only to the people we only want to talk. Stretch ourselves further and find some people who are interested to share their self too. To capture this, we need to get a fresh look. Ask them for their time, not as a survey taker but as the owner or manager of the business. Start the conversation with interesting questions. Still we need questionnaires which find much interesting seizing up their curiosity.
• Grasp the customer story. Not particularly their life story, but this part emphasize testimonial story from their past experience. Imagine our ideal consumer. Imagine how they find our business. Or the things that clients like about. What prompts him to look for. Where does she look? What does he tell other people about our business? Think about that, imagine that, and now you're planning.
• Visualize a better future. Where do we think our business might be years from now if the things go really well. What will our office or store or plant look like three years from now? What will be selling? How different is it from what you're selling today? Who will you be selling too? How different will that be from whom you sell to today? These are the questions that really amend our perception to visualize a better future. Some would call this dreaming. But dreaming ahead, dreaming the future is a vital part of business planning. Dream it, then focus, set the steps to make it happen. If there are things that should be develop, go on! Technopreneur is a good provider of ideas and a problem solver. A skillful risk taker.
There is an article which I read about young business handler. Rich Aberman 24 and Bil Clerico 25. They are a college student who faced their tough decisions they approached the end of their senior year at Boston College. Start an innovative online-payment processing business, or start a new job and grad school. In spite of all the doubts that they able to experience, they still have their WePay. It is their founded techno business which it is an online system for groups to manage their funds. . Imagine they raised $2 million from high-profile Internet investors such as Max Levchin, Eric Dunn and Ron Conway. Their negative perceptions doesn’t shallow there hopes and courage to maintain the business that they have. Why young entrepreneurs fail? According to a site by Scott Gerber, “Face it. Nothing will go as planned. Ever.”Failure is inevitable. Your world will be flipped upside-down on a daily basis, and even the best-laid plans--accompanied by the best intentions--can go belly-up.To make it as a business owner in the real world, you need to learn to fail like a pro, adapt at will and pay attention to detail in order to make informed decisions that will keep your business moving forward. Your ability to plan for the worst-case scenario and maneuver around unforeseen circumstances will be the keys to finding success as your own boss. If you want to start a business but don't know where to start, don't worry--you are not alone. In fact, given the new economic reality of our time, more people than ever before have found the "job" they thought was waiting for them doesn't exist. Others have come to the conclusion that they would rather create work they love, constructed to fit with their own life goals. No matter what the motivation is to be your own boss, you can start today. I once read an article by Tim Berry he said that ‘there is considerable confusion about business plans. Too many people think of a business plan as a document used to describe a business to potential investors. Sure, it works for that. In the real world, investors or not, a business plan helps you reduce uncertainty, manage your business, budget and keep a handle on cash flow”
Now I am much pretty sure what we have right now are the good and excellent ideas in building and initiating a techno business. Know I can propose to you the nature of my techno business where I consider from the mere facts of what I love, the things that I am best at and I irritants with. In the first place my techno business is in titled WEDDING GALORE. Since I was given an opportunity to innovate a venture, I don’t think this is much ambitious. Yes! A partly true. But who knows, we may wonder or doubt but my full dedication and determination will never let me down. What is this all about? Well to noted below the detailed information knowing this business.
Nature of this business. Wedding Galore is a wedding planner. It is a site which is relevant to weeding event. From detail to detail this website will alleviate the wedding couple to exercise their wants and choose what are the best stuff they dreaming of. Customer can choose or customize what they are looking for. Gowns, tuxedo, ring and even bouquet are all available in this site. All you want to do is to have an account to the web site. Of course in order to encourage consumer, I will post advertisements in popular socialize site or in classifying adds, fliers in some printed news papers and magazine. But I will build this available only nationwide. This will provide good service and deliver the following wedding products to the place where my customer is located for. Since this will not run unless without the use of internet. One of the requirements as a client is to have credit card. You might ask if what factor this Wedding Galore is unique of. Service is also counted as main or asset of a business in order to take linger the business in industry. A friendly site which is created a easy to access with. The following is the advantages of having this business:
• This will help to upsurge the interest of the couple. In Filipino tradition, wedding is the most prominent event which is never neglected yet giving its importance.
• This will decrease the time preparation of the partner to decide without much time to look for a receptionist. All they need is computer, internet and accounts to directly access this site. Those requirements are easy to look for most especially we are in a modern world.
• Looking for newest design in town. Wedding Galore have the best transient of simple yet elegant design.
Target clients. These are the couple, partners and lovers who are planning there wedding day with extravagant ideas.
How is this related to technology? It is because of the use of computer in creating and constructing the web pages in order to link this on website. As an manager, I will apply my own skill in constructing and maintaining the site every now and then. It needs several monitor to avoid constrains and accessibility of the site. Because once this will boost up years from now (who knows?) Wedding Galore can be offered across countries of course with numerous branch in different part of the world. I think that was futuristic!
Having a great job is useless if you are not fun to work on it. As long as you are happy dealing this business, venture will not possibly succeed. As an Internal team of Wedding Galore I have loads of different experience, knowledge and attitude to gain. I have to balance everything. From the communication skills up to the actual sales are all must be need to practice. A technopreneur wants to be his boss in his own way and style to consider and learn about more. And willing to take risk even hindrances will normally happen, still you have the courage to win your own battle.

" Lessons learned after reading the commencement address of Steve Jobs"
Year 2005 five years ago, Stanford University one of the outstanding universities in United States was acknowledge by invited guess Steve Jobs, the CEO of Apple Computers to be their commencement speaker. It was a remarkable inspirational commencement address especially to the students. His speech, entitled, “ Stay Hungry, Stay foolish”. According to my research, this commencement address was a very big hit and it was talked about in various articles. Lots of readers drop their reactions through emails and now the IT3 USEP students given a chance to spread and heard our insight lesson learning’s through USeP Forums. First thing that captivate my attention is the ‘catchy’ first line- “You’ve got to find what you love,” Job says. Suddenly as we read along, the commencement address is comprised of three stories in life of Steve Jobs.
Steve shared here that when he was a child her unwed mother decided him up to adaptation. Not knowing that the supposedly poster parents changes their minds to accept baby Steve. They might think that Steve is not applicable to live with them since his mother did not been able to graduate in college so with his father also did not finish school in high school. In this scenario, I can conclude that Steve is not that kind of especial, unluckily and less fortunate at that time.
The first story is about connecting the dots. When Steve is 17 without guidance he chooses a college that is expensive as Stanford. Lately he realized that going to school is never been interesting. But he tokes to another school (Reed College) where he got calligraphy class. He found it very interesting. He didn’t have a dorm room. He walks miles just to save money for one good meal. None of these had even a hope for practical living for Steve. He stated here that dots are connected by looking backwards. We should have trust something that happens in our life it may be good and bad. We have to trust to our self. Our skills, talents and knowledge and we have to share these to others, because we cannot live alone. I also learn that we must never let somebody bring us down. We don’t have to look down or even feel hopeless in every failure we have. Life will never be prosperous always. There will always be ups and downs.. Everything is a perception in this world. Stay Foolish. Fear is pointless. It means that if you are person with fear, this will never help you. Change is inevitable. Inevitable in a way that change is unpredictable to come in our lives. If you fear of doing new things or afraid of change, you can never move forward in life. So, stay foolish.
His second story is about love and loss. Steve got fired on his own company at 30. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. Since he loves what his doing, he started a company named NeXT and Pixar not knowing that he felt in love with a woman and suddenly become his wife (Laurence). The most important thing that I ascertain is “Don’t lose faith”. Steve convinced to keep going that was he loved what he did. Though he was replaced in the position of his own company, Steve never stopped to discover and persist to his work and way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. Also in our self, even though we haven’t found what makes us happy, we have to find out and keep looking. Of course, if we already have it we have to be contented living with it. Don’t settle. Don’t be too easily satisfied or settle easily with what we have, what we do and grow comfortable…Always there is room for improvement and growth…Stay Hungry always. Hungry of looking forward for progress after failures. When one door closes, another door opens.
Death is in the third story. “If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.” This quotation made an impression to Steve Jobs. Because almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Lately in his life he diagnosed a pancreatic cancer. His doctor told him that this kind of illness is incurable and nothing to expect to live longer. Without expectation, the cancer cell has been killed through surgery that in fact it is rare happen. But in spite with this ailment, Steve Jobs never surrender. However, this unfavorably situation give more courage to Steve to continue living with his supportive family. No one wants to die. Yes! That true. We are afraid to face death. No one knows when and where this tremendous situation happens. This story wants to remind us that our time is truly limited. We never know what happen next. So we should not waste our time living with loved of our life. We have to express to our families, friends, relatives that we love and care them. So that if time goes by, when we are facing death no regrets may occur. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. Whatever people may think of you, don’t let them bring you down. Steve Jobs also shared that have the courage to follow what our heart and intuition says and crave for. Intuition is somewhat your perception and awareness.
Steve Jobs as a person is not perfect. He admits mistakes. But these mistakes alleviate the kind of deemed and most influential person he is now. Experiences and failures are instruments or tools to be a better one someday. How I wish to be as good and positive thinker Steve Jobs is. Plan for the best and prepare for the worst, in that way I can handle anything easily. Honestly speaks I am a person who loss faith and afraid of regrets in the end. But this commencement address that Steve Jobs shared, that everything happens for a reason. With all the disappointments other people bring don’t let me bother with them. Believing in my own self, doing what I love and passionate about. Of course, gaining confidence is also essential. Two thumbs up for Mr. Jobs!

MY PURPOSE IN LIFE
“The greatest tragedy of life is not DEATH but life without PURPOSE”…
this quotations made an impression to me. There is greater terrible than death, it is not knowing
or distinguishing your purpose in life.
Few words can describe my purpose or reason of existence these are follows:
• Live life to the fullest in God’s way.
• Putting your heart and soul in doing things, success comes your way.
I believe that we have to include both our heart and mind doing our best.
• Be a blessing to others.
• True greatness, happiness in life and selfless giving to anyone consist in my purpose.
• Love and take good care of my loved ones most especially my family.
As a prominent creature of God, I must take good care of what I have.
In return, I also have to serve God in his will and accordance.
Maybe I have more reasons why do I exist, however I haven't found the
finest purpose of my life that will surely change my personal perspective in life.

Personal traits: REFLECTION
Morally upright with virtues, technically open-minded to technological complication, we should be able to reach beyond what we expect to obtain. As a technopreneur there are several factors that should be consider on how somebody like me will be individually equipped by the matter around technopreneurship. Without much further do, there is what we called “Personality Traits” to be talk about. How an individual characteristic does may affect the relationship to neither other nor others might be affected on what personal characteristics we have? How this thing does is being connected to technopreneurship?
Yes! We have to define it first. The dictionary defines “personality” as:
1. Habitual patterns and qualities of behavior of any individual as expressed by physical and mental activities and attitudes; distinctive individual qualities of a person, considered collectively.
2. The complex of qualities and characteristics seen as being distinctive to a group, nation, place, etc.
3. The sum of such qualities seen as being capable of making, or likely to make, a favorable impression on other people.
4. Informal personal attractiveness; engaging manner or qualities.
Thus, personality is the totality of somebody’s attitude, interest, emotional responses, behavioral patterns, social roles and other individual traits that endure over long periods of time.
Traits are defined as "a distinguishing or determining quality or characteristic, as of personality." In other words, this means that personality traits are the distinguishing characteristics that make you "you." Every person has a unique identity. In which we can be able to determine the difference of each person. There are some reasons on how do a certain traits influenced and engaged someone. It maybe either by the type of family he/she came from or maybe the kind of environment he/she lived. Personality traits are the unique set of characteristics and qualities that only you possess.
According to some resources, although each person has hundreds, if not thousands, of different habit and traits that make up their personality, psychologists have tried to provide a bit of guidance for people to define personality traits and to determine the most important traits. As a result, they have come up with a list of the five major personality traits. These five traits make up the essence of a person's personality: Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism (OCEAN, or CANOE if rearranged).
The following 5 dimensions of personality mean something that could help us in determining our one self characteristic. How being yourself as “you”.
1. Openness: Openness refers to how open you are to experiencing new things. Do you enjoy learning new ideas and concepts or are you frightened of change?
2. Conscientiousness: Conscientiousness refers to how dedicated you are. When you say you are going to do something do you follow through? Do you have a strong work ethic?
3. Extraversion: Extraversion asks how comfortable you are in the company of others. Do you prefer to be by yourself or in a crowd? Do you like to be the life of the party?
4. Agreeableness: Do you try to get along with people or do you go out of your way to be contentious and start a fight?
5. Neuroticism: How emotionally stable are you? Do you get upset over the little things, or do they roll off your back?
In order to determine our personality, using these five major personality traits, psychologists give us a test that asks a series of questions. The questions may inquire about how we would react in a certain situation, or our comfort level in a given setting. Each personality domain has questions to be answer, most probably it answers by “Strongly Disagree, Disagree, Neither Agree nor Disagree, Agree, and Strongly Agree” to the certain point of issue.
As our requirement in our subject Technopreneurship, we are going to determine our personal traits by taking those questions and so we can distinguished how we response in a certain situation or scenario. By doing so, particular site was my tool in personal traits test. More or less it has 60 questions. Honestly speaks, it needs extra time to answer those questions. However, we don’t need to think further because it doesn’t require logical thinking. Learnmyself.com is the site where I took my personal traits test.
These are my percentage results: Openness (24%), Conscientiousness (99%), Extraversion (35%), Agreeableness (58%), and Neuroticism (8%).
I only got twenty-four percent (24%) in openness. Openness is a general emotion, adventure, unusual ideas, imagination, curiosity, and variety of experience. Maybe I’m a kind of person who tend to be conventional or usual and traditional rather that being complex and ambiguous. I preferred the things which I normally know than tried another thing that may get me wrong in the end or might closed to regret. Just like in ordering in fast food chain, I used to ask for the food which I really like and crave for rather that ordering those loads of foods which are not familiar to my taste. Because I am thinking that it might not fit to my taste buds then suddenly realized that my money where just wasted. Openness to experience is what really needs in the world of technopreneurship. Of course it is essential because an open-minded person is a provider of ideas. In technopreneurship there are times that we may think for the best solution to a certain problem.
In the second dimension of personal traits which is conscientiousness, I got the high percentage of ninety-nine (99%). Conscientiousness is a tendency to show self-discipline and aim for achievement. The trait shows a preference for planned rather than spontaneous behavior. It influences the way in which we control, regulate, and direct our impulses. I am glad that I almost had a perfect percentage. Conscientiousness speaks self-discipline and setting an own goal. There is definite time which I found my self planning for what I desire. A good person is good planner. He/she tend to reflect for the future. In connection to technopreneurship, technopreneur must be “off-the-book”. He/she must be prodigy to the things that may affect in terms of technopreneurship. As a student in this subject, we must apply the plan that we made and work for it. That’s why in our System Analyst Design we are assigned to create a chart (PERT and Gantt) which these will represent our plan activities to follow sooner us we go on with our activities. Most Filipinos (like me) engages some habits like “mañana habit” they are not time conscious. They think that there is lot of time to perform their work. Usually in the class, students tend to be late because of sleeping late and waking up too much late. If they are given a chance to take the personal traits I am pretty sure that he/she gets low percentage in conscientiousness dimension.
In extraversion results got thirty-five percent (35%). This aspect articulate is by positive emotions, urgency, and the tendency to seek out stimulation and the company of others. I also got minimal percentage here. Honestly speaks, I am not willing to socialize or even meet other person. Often times I am hardly approach to some unfamiliar person. I am not open to them. In short, I am a shy type person. Ever since when I was a child, in school I seldom participate in class. But I can assure you that I am willing to listen to my teacher. In other words, I am a good listener. The trait is marked by pronounced engagement with the external world. Extraverts enjoy being with people, and are often perceived as full of energy. In the personal traits test there are some questions being ask if I love to have big parties. Of course as I mentioned, I am not fanatic to that. I hate crowds. I hate being exposed in public. You may think that I am a loner. Don’t you? But I am not. I have also lots of friends to count they are truly reliable and truthful to me. I rather have few good friends than hundreds of useless friends to keep. Maybe I don’t give enough trust to people whom I met not longer him/her. In the field of technopreneurship, people engage with this will to face his/her consumer in part take to his/her business. Of course he/she is a risk taker. In the world of business it is possible and normally obtains difficulties in ventures. Technopreneur should ready to face problems not just the person being involved.
Forth dimension is agreeableness with fifty-eight percent (58%). Agreeableness is an element of personal traits which is concerned and cooperative. Person with lower percentage in agreeableness is untrustworthy and antagonistic towards others. He/she don’t even care the feeling towards the other. Maybe I am a kind of person who is sometimes willing to touch other life. But sometime don’t even care the sympathy of people around me. That why I am half in a way to be agreeable individual. The trait reflects individual differences in general concern for social harmony. There are times I am friendly and love spending moments with them. People with maximum percent in agreeableness are generally considerate, friendly, generous, helpful, and willing to compromise their interests with others. Agreeable people also have an optimistic view of human nature. They believe people are basically honest, decent, and trustworthy. Optimistic is those who think in positive. Maybe that’s the point of believing people around is in a good heart, not to criticize other people. As a technopreneur, he/she must be approachable not only to the customer he/she benefits with, but also to his disciple in business which is the employee. He/she must have a good relationship to them, not bossy all the time and enthusiast in serving and guiding worker. In terms of wage, employee should have proper given salary at the proper time.
And lastly which is Neuroticism. I obtain eight percent (8%) in my personal traits results. For me it’s not all the time that I don’t feel worried and unease. It may depend upon the situation. Maybe I have a strong faith that makes me feel relaxed and peaceful. Freedom from negative feelings does not mean that low scorers experience a lot of positive feelings. It’s true that our anxiety can make our emotionally unstable, we may feel emotionally stressed tend to worry just because of the fear we have inside. People who have a high result in neuroticism are more likely to struggle with depression and sadness. Negative emotional reactions tend to continue for unusually long periods of time, which means they are often in a bad mood. Pertaining to technopreneurship, the person embrace in this field should be more in patience. He/she must not over overlap his/her emotional feelings.
Stated below is the following personal traits results profile in which it described my behaviors, characteristics and attitudes.
“You rarely get angry and it takes a lot to make you angry, however you often resist any cravings or urges that you have, but sometimes you give in. You tend to feel overwhelmed by, and therefore actively avoid, large crowds. You often need privacy and time for yourself. You tend not to express your emotions openly and are sometimes not even aware of your own feelings. You see no need for pretense or manipulation when dealing with others and are therefore candid, frank and sincere. People find it relatively easy to relate to you, however you do not enjoy confrontation, but you will stand up for yourself or push your point if you feel it is important. You are well-organized and like to live according to routines and schedules. Often you will keep lists and make plans.” [1]
From the first sentence narrow it above, it said that I am seldom or not frequently get angry. Yes! It is true. I am not that kind of short-temper person. There are times that when somebody or someone who teases me, I usually beat him/her teasing too. I’m not an expressive person. Often time, I typically pretend my negative feelings and emotions. I hate confrontation. I am not seeking to be frank to somebody else. Maybe I am more concern not to hurt the feelings of other person.
Personality traits test alleviate to distinguish the persons behavior and deeds. In the field of technopreneurship it is essential to know the ones weakness so that he/she must be able to recognize to the extent of changing these characteristics and attitudes for ones self improvement.

http://www.yourdictionary.com/library/reference/define-personality-traits.html
Morally upright with virtues, technically open-minded to technological complication, we should be able to reach beyond what we expect to obtain. As a technopreneur there are several factors that should be consider on how somebody like me will be individually equipped by the matter around technopreneurship. Without much further do, there is what we called “Personality Traits” to be talk about. How an individual characteristic does may affect the relationship to neither other nor others might be affected on what personal characteristics we have? How this thing does is being connected to technopreneurship?
Yes! We have to define it first. The dictionary defines “personality” as:
1. Habitual patterns and qualities of behavior of any individual as expressed by physical and mental activities and attitudes; distinctive individual qualities of a person, considered collectively.
2. The complex of qualities and characteristics seen as being distinctive to a group, nation, place, etc.
3. The sum of such qualities seen as being capable of making, or likely to make, a favorable impression on other people.
4. Informal personal attractiveness; engaging manner or qualities.
Thus, personality is the totality of somebody’s attitude, interest, emotional responses, behavioral patterns, social roles and other individual traits that endure over long periods of time.
Traits are defined as "a distinguishing or determining quality or characteristic, as of personality." In other words, this means that personality traits are the distinguishing characteristics that make you "you." Every person has a unique identity. In which we can be able to determine the difference of each person. There are some reasons on how do a certain traits influenced and engaged someone. It maybe either by the type of family he/she came from or maybe the kind of environment he/she lived. Personality traits are the unique set of characteristics and qualities that only you possess.
According to some resources, although each person has hundreds, if not thousands, of different habit and traits that make up their personality, psychologists have tried to provide a bit of guidance for people to define personality traits and to determine the most important traits. As a result, they have come up with a list of the five major personality traits. These five traits make up the essence of a person's personality: Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism (OCEAN, or CANOE if rearranged).
The following 5 dimensions of personality mean something that could help us in determining our one self characteristic. How being yourself as “you”.
1. Openness: Openness refers to how open you are to experiencing new things. Do you enjoy learning new ideas and concepts or are you frightened of change?
2. Conscientiousness: Conscientiousness refers to how dedicated you are. When you say you are going to do something do you follow through? Do you have a strong work ethic?
3. Extraversion: Extraversion asks how comfortable you are in the company of others. Do you prefer to be by yourself or in a crowd? Do you like to be the life of the party?
4. Agreeableness: Do you try to get along with people or do you go out of your way to be contentious and start a fight?
5. Neuroticism: How emotionally stable are you? Do you get upset over the little things, or do they roll off your back?
In order to determine our personality, using these five major personality traits, psychologists give us a test that asks a series of questions. The questions may inquire about how we would react in a certain situation, or our comfort level in a given setting. Each personality domain has questions to be answer, most probably it answers by “Strongly Disagree, Disagree, Neither Agree nor Disagree, Agree, and Strongly Agree” to the certain point of issue.
As our requirement in our subject Technopreneurship, we are going to determine our personal traits by taking those questions and so we can distinguished how we response in a certain situation or scenario. By doing so, particular site was my tool in personal traits test. More or less it has 60 questions. Honestly speaks, it needs extra time to answer those questions. However, we don’t need to think further because it doesn’t require logical thinking. Learnmyself.com is the site where I took my personal traits test.
These are my percentage results: Openness (24%), Conscientiousness (99%), Extraversion (35%), Agreeableness (58%), and Neuroticism (8%).
I only got twenty-four percent (24%) in openness. Openness is a general emotion, adventure, unusual ideas, imagination, curiosity, and variety of experience. Maybe I’m a kind of person who tend to be conventional or usual and traditional rather that being complex and ambiguous. I preferred the things which I normally know than tried another thing that may get me wrong in the end or might closed to regret. Just like in ordering in fast food chain, I used to ask for the food which I really like and crave for rather that ordering those loads of foods which are not familiar to my taste. Because I am thinking that it might not fit to my taste buds then suddenly realized that my money where just wasted. Openness to experience is what really needs in the world of technopreneurship. Of course it is essential because an open-minded person is a provider of ideas. In technopreneurship there are times that we may think for the best solution to a certain problem.
In the second dimension of personal traits which is conscientiousness, I got the high percentage of ninety-nine (99%). Conscientiousness is a tendency to show self-discipline and aim for achievement. The trait shows a preference for planned rather than spontaneous behavior. It influences the way in which we control, regulate, and direct our impulses. I am glad that I almost had a perfect percentage. Conscientiousness speaks self-discipline and setting an own goal. There is definite time which I found my self planning for what I desire. A good person is good planner. He/she tend to reflect for the future. In connection to technopreneurship, technopreneur must be “off-the-book”. He/she must be prodigy to the things that may affect in terms of technopreneurship. As a student in this subject, we must apply the plan that we made and work for it.

Usually in the class, students tend to be late because of sleeping late and waking up too much late. If they are given a chance to take the personal traits I am pretty sure that he/she gets low percentage in conscientiousness dimension.

REFLECTION: "Pirates of the Silicon Valley"
What are the factors that contributed to the success and failure of Steve Jobs as a technopreneur?
Steve Jobs is a great groundbreaking person passionately in the fields of technopreneurship. But with all the abilities and capabilities that Steve Jobs does, it must have factors and considerations take along him in success and failure as a technopreneur.
The following are the aspects partake in success of Steve Jobs according to the website which I browsed, followed by the expounding of it rendered on my own words and understanding:
1.Do what you love to do.If you are doing what you really love to do, you may not feel bored rigid and feel uninterested. Just like Jobs do the same things which he really love to do until he got what he really wants.
2.Be different. Every person has a unique identity, in connection with this, to be a good technopreneur, you have to think in differently way the best among the others think of he best they can.
3.Do your best. Of course if you had think the best way in a well-oriented, then its time for you to work your plan. Steve Jobs gets creepy on the things he wants to obtain. Even his personnel felt the pressure of doing their finest.
4.Make an analysis. This a analysis is a list of strengths and weaknesses of Jobs and the rest of his company mates. If you have the evaluation of these things, then it’s up to you to modify and amend those worst ideas into a better one.
5.Be entrepreneurial. Yes! Be an entrepreneurial in a character and attitude, don’t afraid to take the risk or even great challenges because these will bring you into picking in the bunch. Don’t be afraid to fail and learn from it.
6.Start small, think big. Thereis no successful person I think which start to a great extent. Otherwise,big timers start in a simple way at the beginning. And its up to them howthey handle their wealth wisely. Like Jobs, he simply starts in a small enterprise yet in the end he found the big career waiting on him.
7.Strive to become a Market leader. Own and control the primary technology in everything you do. Be the first! Though anyone can make the same concept you have but you have to amend your work more terribly and awful.
8.Focus on the outcome. Of course more importantly think of the results you have doing. If it fits to the necessity and taste of the consumer. Advertise your work; interface should have a big impact to the buyer. Don’t be fooled by the influences of the people around you. Don’t go with the flow. Just go on your way.
9.Ask for feedback. Feedback is essentials on you as a technopreneur. Ask them what they are going to response back the products on you. Some of them are afraid of telling the truth. Its normal. But focus first to the customer you have. Listen to them.
10. Innovative. What does this innovative mean, this means new and creative, especially in the way that something is done. Your outcome as a result to your product must have the standard and reliable to use often by customers. Quality standard! Concentrate on really important creations and radical innovation. Hire people who want to make the best things in the world. You need a very product-oriented culture, even in a technology company. Lots of companies have tons of great engineers and smart people. But ultimately, there needs to be some gravitational force that pulls it all together.
11. Learn from failures. Failure are normal; at least you have something to learn from it. And surely you’ll never ever try to do the same mistake in many times. Jobs as an technopreneur had some mistakes, still strongly believing in himself
12.Learn continually. With great frequency and regularity. Learning doesn’t have an ending. It is infinite. Well its up to you if you still alive endlessly.(Impossible) Moving forward. Don’t look back and waste on regretting the past. Instead face the present and decide or plan for the future in continually progressing what you have.
In contrast, the following are the aspects partake in failure of Steve Jobs followed by the expounding of it rendered on my own words and understanding:
1.Being greedy. Yes! Steve Jobs is one of the people who is so greedy in terms of position and name in technopreneurship industry. He was blind with money.
2.Don’t care on others. Not knowing his responsibility being the boss, should partake the feelings and opinions of others especially on his employees part. Times is important but consider the excuses normally come in daily activity.
3. Doing unnecessarything. Prior to the outcome. Think of the obligation you have to face onwards. Separate the family trouble either Jobs!
4.Senseless. There are things which Steve Jobs has nothing to be result in a good manner. Like what he did on thcompetitive employee once been tried to apply. In stead of asking him formally, Steve Jobs catechize the nonsense questions with non sense humor. Badly Steve!
5.Short tempered. I notice once or in many times if I’m not mistaken that Steve Jobs got his attitude of being short temper and hard to handle with. That’s one of the reasons why his friends being far stop negotiating with Jobs. Also his employee got him very wrongly.
These are the factors which I think brings Steve Jobs in success then suddenly failure of his own work in Apple as a manager. His characteristic being further more by most innovative, creative and out breaking Bill Gates Bill Gates is known by citizens in the First World and in the third World and everywhere in between. He moves easily from technical discussions to matters of individual survival. Its easier to understand why Bill Gates should be deemed the most influential person in 2006. Not knowing this day he still belongs to richest but not on the top either.

How do you see yourself as a technopreneur?
Being a technopreneur seems never that easy. Then I’m not ready to be it. As a student, I have lots of stuff to be knowledgeable about technopreneurship.
Younger as me should not be bother and think that ignorance is a hindrance to plan my work and work my plan. I agree to the saying that “ignorance is not an excuse”. Though I am the person that afraid in such a heavy task, but if I have the courage and reliant on me there is nothing more to be afraid of.
Years from now, I can see myself who is being technology groundbreaking, creative, innovative and very passionate about the field of technopreneur. (I hope I’m not in my day dreaming, don’t I?) One thing is for sure why loads of people (like me) crave for and be after of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, it’s because of money. Quickly earning money now a day are really ridiculous. Fortunately there are some personality which they strive and enthusiast in learning experience, a stimulator to look things differently and stride for next challenge. And I must learn and eager to those things mentioned above.
If I deem myself next in technopreneurship, I must agree I don’t even have an idea to start and provoke handling a business technically. I swear! Nevertheless, having an Elective 1 Technopreneurship alleviate the learning’s of as student. Thanks to the concerned. Looking around the world and find ourselves in a continually shrinking global society. How do we think it first to start with if we don’t have even a small piece of idea how it works. A good deal of what goes on in our world can be getting into internationally within seconds of its existence. This interconnectedness allows us to respond to one another in a time efficient manner.
However, this requires high level and professional development programs and training to produce well strategic thinkers especially students who will have the skills to succeed in an animatedly changing global environment in a technological manner. According to some website I had surf, “traditional educational programs, however, lack the methodology to transform today's students into creative, innovative, visionary global leaders who understand the importance of technopreneurship”. “These programs should focus on what workers and professionals should be able to do. These include functioning on multidisciplinary teams, communicating effectively, acquiring updated knowledge of technological developments, and understanding the basic technical concepts and there new applications and improvements”. [1] We have to face this snag accordingly. Information technology professionals
ponder a great way helping the needs of lacking potentials of students. As our professors shared his concept to us, we should not be simply as an employee as what we suppose to be in our future but to obtain to be an employer sooner.
“Technology is simply defined as applications of knowledge to human work”. [2]As I understand this concept by the Peter F. Ducker, technology which plays an important role on us should way used in technopreneurship as an application of expertise and skill of a well-oriented technopreneur. Well I guess we have a right choice to a part of this subject. Still I’m thinking of the right choice of business to incline with. But there are obstructions on my part; it’s the characters of having fear to take risk and great challenges. That maybe my ideas would not work and surely not corresponds to the needs and wants of most customers or consumers.
First activity we had is to visit or site some food chain merchandise then observe and scrutinize the development of the said food chain. I got Greenwhich to choose among those. As I wrote in my assignment I examine lots of progression more technically on it. Robotic, moving, screen menu table and soon and I realize longer, are these things get seems possible to have on my own objection and solution? Yes! Technology in Philippines is unhurriedly or slowly moving forward unlike to some big and high-tech nations. Unfortunately as I viewed the latest gadgets in my generation, my industrial mindset are already late to equip off. Gadgets that we expect to exist are already hand-me-down by the advance nations such U.S and Japan. How can I be a technopreneur if those ideas I mentioned above doesn’t fit the necessity of the people here in the Philippines which involve in most corrupt
nation. Even the basic essentials of people such foods do lacks them, what more if I myself don’t have just human resources such capital in negotiating technological business.
“In an era of man-made brainpower industries, individual, corporate, and national economic success will all require both new and more extensive skills sets than have been required in the past . By themselves skills don't guarantee success. They have to be put together in successful organizations. But without skills and technopreurship there are no successful organizations.” [3] As I understand the stated line given by Manuel Cereijo . We have also to focus the industrial skills of an individual not only in academic inside in a four-cornered room. Field trips and seminars for me may vary the exposure
of the students in technological and technopreneurship fields. Some multi-millioner company should have chosen to visit for us to know howechnology helps human property engage in widely profitable technopreneurial skills. As a newly individual encounters this subject getting confused and wonder how it works and result a product that will surely bring to the person into fame and influence by power like Mr. Bill Gates and Mr. Steve Jobs got. A process of synthesis in engineering the future of a person, or an organization that is what technopreneurship does.
So how can someone like me is going to be a good competitive technopreneur person if I personally don’t have the skills to be developed and to be progress. We should be individually equipped by the matter around technopreneurship which involved in delivering an innovative hi-tech product, by a large part, still a entrepreneurship. Morally upright with virtues, technically open-minded to technological complication, we should be able to reach beyond what we expect to obtain.

Manuel Cereijo, July 3, 2002 [1] & [3] quotations
Peter F. Ducker, November 29, 2006 [2] quotation
Would you take the same career path that Steve Jobs took? Why or why not?
Recalling this publicly heartbreaking episode Jobs said,
“I didn’t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being
successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.”
These heartbreaking lines touch my senses of what he has during his point in time of realizing what he had on his life. He apprehends the things which he has nothing to do it but taking for granted. His successful was replaced by the status of being a beginner it was suddenly at his 30 however, was fired from
the company he co-founded with Steve Wozniak. He left the company after losing a bitter battle over control with Apple’s CEO John Sculley (whom Jobs had recruited from Pepsi Cola).
Instead of losing hope on his own battle, he just keep on believing to convinced that the only thing that kept he going was that Steve Jobs loved what he did. Steve got to find what he really loves. And that is as true for his work as it is for his lovers. His work is going to fill a large part of his own life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work.
Taking the same career path that Steve Jobs took wasn’t that easy. But I will let my self grasp what he took of being a good technopreneur. Yes! I will confidently taking risks and consequences of a technopreneur. Working and earning my own money is one of my goals in this early age. Like me, people may think seriously of my future. Of course life is not a joke. But sometimes people don't know how to do it. Well in fact the things we need is just around us. We keep on looking for money and we are looking for it badly. Sadly, we don't really know about earning through technology. Technopreneurship, sounds weird right? But that is how it's called. And that’s the one way how Bill Gates and Steve Jobs shared and lead them in their own lives.
Yes! I am one of the billion people who don’t know and tried either to catches and hatches his eggs through the use of internet. As we go along in our lives we usually didn’t notice the importance of the negotiating business on his own time own place manipulated by the internet. Internationally numerous people or users get through browsing and surfing daily in the internet. Most of the time they are regularly (me also) visit and be entertained by number of social websites such as Facebook as one of the famous online sites diverting the users in such activities like chatting and drop their messages, announcements or even gossips on their profile. In stead of flick through different sites, why not engaging and interacting numerous people around the world. We have blogging, web developing, web designing and soon. Steve Jobs have the courage and determinacy succeeding this field and forming his own career. Though Jobs faces difficulties and problems along his journey, he never gives up. That’s one of the character ought to be and be after him.
Technopreneurship is the key to earn money through technology. Apple and Microsoft are the creative products it had. The word came from 2 different words. First, technology, and next is entrepreneurship, where it means business with the use of technology in its invention. People are really struggling for survival but we don't know that the stuffs that could save us from total distraction and broke is just beside us. Yes just beside us, we only need a computer and an internet connection. That's how amazing it is. And worst of it lots of people don't see this stuff and have no plan for their future. How could this be? first thing's first, There are lots of offers in the internet, ranging from advertising to affiliate business to freelance writing and now how could you say it's impossible to do. A s I’ve mentioned above blogging is one way of expressing and articulating ones ideas. We learn and finally at the moment we enhance and go on with this stuff we eventually earn money on our own account. Not just that we may employ our own employee.
In the same path of Steve Jobs its seems like impossible to race and obtain the same advance technology as he did in Apple. We are fully equipped with this high tech gadgets, software and hardware under their expertise. We couldn’t imagine competing with the same field in technopreneurship. How come?
Being technopreneur is really the things people consider now. Most especially the numbers of unemployed people, even fresh graduates with degrees and diplomas aren’t have work at this time. According to the sites I viewed, by these times that we have job inflation rate and based on statistics, here in Philippines, we have 13,000,000 people jobless. Yes, but sad to say, it is the reality. Poorly Filipinos. Being a Technoprenuer really helps this kind of situation. Why? Because when we start a business, we could hire our fellowmen as our employees and we can give job to them. Apparently we can help the needy people with less creer jobs opportunities. So we help ourself to have a financial freedom and at the same time, we help other people too. We don’t need to be standardize technopreneur same with Steve Jobs, nut we should help or self and also one another forming our future technically advanced. Now, do we really need to become a Technopreneur? It is our choice of course. Its up to us how we handle and be ready taking risk and challenges just to strive in our lives. We recognize and idolized Mr. Bill Gates and Mr. Steve Jobs on their victory. Two thumbs up for them!

What are the factors that contributed to the success and failure of Steve Jobs as a technopreneur?
Steve Jobs is a great groundbreaking person passionately in the fields of technopreneurship. But with all the abilities and capabilities that Steve Jobs does, it must have factors and considerations take along him in success and failure as a technopreneur.
The following are the aspects partake in success of Steve Jobs according to the website which I browsed, followed by the expounding of it rendered on my own words and understanding:
1.Do what you love to do.If you are doing what you really love to do, you may not feel bored rigid and feel uninterested. Just like Jobs do the same things which he really love to do until he got what he really wants.
2.Be different. Every person has a unique identity, in connection with this, to be a good technopreneur, you have to think in differently way the best among the others think of he best they can.
3.Do your best. Of course if you had think the best way in a well-oriented, then its time for you to work your plan. Steve Jobs gets creepy on the things he wants to obtain. Even his personnel felt the pressure of doing their finest.
4.Make an analysis. This a analysis is a list of strengths and weaknesses of Jobs and the rest of his company mates. If you have the evaluation of these things, then it’s up to you to modify and amend those worst ideas into a better one.
5.Be entrepreneurial. Yes! Be an entrepreneurial in a character and attitude, don’t afraid to take the risk or even great challenges because these will bring you into picking in the bunch. Don’t be afraid to fail and learn from it.
6.Start small, think big. Thereis no successful person I think which start to a great extent. Otherwise,big timers start in a simple way at the beginning. And its up to them howthey handle their wealth wisely. Like Jobs, he simply starts in a small enterprise yet in the end he found the big career waiting on him.
7.Strive to become a Market leader. Own and control the primary technology in everything you do. Be the first! Though anyone can make the same concept you have but you have to amend your work more terribly and awful.
8.Focus on the outcome. Of course more importantly think of the results you have doing. If it fits to the necessity and taste of the consumer. Advertise your work; interface should have a big impact to the buyer. Don’t be fooled by the influences of the people around you. Don’t go with the flow. Just go on your way.
9.Ask for feedback. Feedback is essentials on you as a technopreneur. Ask them what they are going to response back the products on you. Some of them are afraid of telling the truth. Its normal. But focus first to the customer you have. Listen to them.
10. Innovative. What does this innovative mean, this means new and creative, especially in the way that something is done. Your outcome as a result to your product must have the standard and reliable to use often by customers. Quality standard! Concentrate on really important creations and radical innovation. Hire people who want to make the best things in the world. You need a very product-oriented culture, even in a technology company. Lots of companies have tons of great engineers and smart people. But ultimately, there needs to be some gravitational force that pulls it all together.
11. Learn from failures. Failure are normal; at least you have something to learn from it. And surely you’ll never ever try to do the same mistake in many times. Jobs as an technopreneur had some mistakes, still strongly believing in himself
12.Learn continually. With great frequency and regularity. Learning doesn’t have an ending. It is infinite. Well its up to you if you still alive endlessly.(Impossible) Moving forward. Don’t look back and waste on regretting the past. Instead face the present and decide or plan for the future in continually progressing what you have.
In contrast, the following are the aspects partake in failure of Steve Jobs followed by the expounding of it rendered on my own words and understanding:
1.Being greedy. Yes! Steve Jobs is one of the people who is so greedy in terms of position and name in technopreneurship industry. He was blind with money.
2.Don’t care on others. Not knowing his responsibility being the boss, should partake the feelings and opinions of others especially on his employees part. Times is important but consider the excuses normally come in daily activity.
3. Doing unnecessarything. Prior to the outcome. Think of the obligation you have to face onwards. Separate the family trouble either Jobs!
4.Senseless. There are things which Steve Jobs has nothing to be result in a good manner. Like what he did on thcompetitive employee once been tried to apply. In stead of asking him formally, Steve Jobs catechize the nonsense questions with non sense humor. Badly Steve!
5.Short tempered. I notice once or in many times if I’m not mistaken that Steve Jobs got his attitude of being short temper and hard to handle with. That’s one of the reasons why his friends being far stop negotiating with Jobs. Also his employee got him very wrongly.
These are the factors which I think brings Steve Jobs in success then suddenly failure of his own work in Apple as a manager. His characteristic being further more by most innovative, creative and out breaking Bill Gates Bill Gates is known by citizens in the First World and in the third World and everywhere in between. He moves easily from technical discussions to matters of individual survival. Its easier to understand why Bill Gates should be deemed the most influential person in 2006. Not knowing this day he still belongs to richest but not on the top either.

How do you see yourself as a technopreneur?
Being a technopreneur seems never that easy. Then I’m not ready to be it. As a student, I have lots of stuff to be knowledgeable about technopreneurship.
Younger as me should not be bother and think that ignorance is a hindrance to plan my work and work my plan. I agree to the saying that “ignorance is not an excuse”. Though I am the person that afraid in such a heavy task, but if I have the courage and reliant on me there is nothing more to be afraid of.
Years from now, I can see myself who is being technology groundbreaking, creative, innovative and very passionate about the field of technopreneur. (I hope I’m not in my day dreaming, don’t I?) One thing is for sure why loads of people (like me) crave for and be after of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, it’s because of money. Quickly earning money now a day are really ridiculous. Fortunately there are some personality which they strive and enthusiast in learning experience, a stimulator to look things differently and stride for next challenge. And I must learn and eager to those things mentioned above.
If I deem myself next in technopreneurship, I must agree I don’t even have an idea to start and provoke handling a business technically. I swear! Nevertheless, having an Elective 1 Technopreneurship alleviate the learning’s of as student. Thanks to the concerned. Looking around the world and find ourselves in a continually shrinking global society. How do we think it first to start with if we don’t have even a small piece of idea how it works. A good deal of what goes on in our world can be getting into internationally within seconds of its existence. This interconnectedness allows us to respond to one another in a time efficient manner.
However, this requires high level and professional development programs and training to produce well strategic thinkers especially students who will have the skills to succeed in an animatedly changing global environment in a technological manner. According to some website I had surf, “traditional educational programs, however, lack the methodology to transform today's students into creative, innovative, visionary global leaders who understand the importance of technopreneurship”. “These programs should focus on what workers and professionals should be able to do. These include functioning on multidisciplinary teams, communicating effectively, acquiring updated knowledge of technological developments, and understanding the basic technical concepts and there new applications and improvements”. [1] We have to face this snag accordingly. Information technology professionals
ponder a great way helping the needs of lacking potentials of students. As our professors shared his concept to us, we should not be simply as an employee as what we suppose to be in our future but to obtain to be an employer sooner.
“Technology is simply defined as applications of knowledge to human work”. [2]As I understand this concept by the Peter F. Ducker, technology which plays an important role on us should way used in technopreneurship as an application of expertise and skill of a well-oriented technopreneur. Well I guess we have a right choice to a part of this subject. Still I’m thinking of the right choice of business to incline with. But there are obstructions on my part; it’s the characters of having fear to take risk and great challenges. That maybe my ideas would not work and surely not corresponds to the needs and wants of most customers or consumers.
First activity we had is to visit or site some food chain merchandise then observe and scrutinize the development of the said food chain. I got Greenwhich to choose among those. As I wrote in my assignment I examine lots of progression more technically on it. Robotic, moving, screen menu table and soon and I realize longer, are these things get seems possible to have on my own objection and solution? Yes! Technology in Philippines is unhurriedly or slowly moving forward unlike to some big and high-tech nations. Unfortunately as I viewed the latest gadgets in my generation, my industrial mindset are already late to equip off. Gadgets that we expect to exist are already hand-me-down by the advance nations such U.S and Japan. How can I be a technopreneur if those ideas I mentioned above doesn’t fit the necessity of the people here in the Philippines which involve in most corrupt
nation. Even the basic essentials of people such foods do lacks them, what more if I myself don’t have just human resources such capital in negotiating technological business.
“In an era of man-made brainpower industries, individual, corporate, and national economic success will all require both new and more extensive skills sets than have been required in the past . By themselves skills don't guarantee success. They have to be put together in successful organizations. But without skills and technopreurship there are no successful organizations.” [3] As I understand the stated line given by Manuel Cereijo . We have also to focus the industrial skills of an individual not only in academic inside in a four-cornered room. Field trips and seminars for me may vary the exposure
of the students in technological and technopreneurship fields. Some multi-millioner company should have chosen to visit for us to know howechnology helps human property engage in widely profitable technopreneurial skills. As a newly individual encounters this subject getting confused and wonder how it works and result a product that will surely bring to the person into fame and influence by power like Mr. Bill Gates and Mr. Steve Jobs got. A process of synthesis in engineering the future of a person, or an organization that is what technopreneurship does.
So how can someone like me is going to be a good competitive technopreneur person if I personally don’t have the skills to be developed and to be progress. We should be individually equipped by the matter around technopreneurship which involved in delivering an innovative hi-tech product, by a large part, still a entrepreneurship. Morally upright with virtues, technically open-minded to technological complication, we should be able to reach beyond what we expect to obtain.

Would you take the same career path that Steve Jobs took? Why or why not?
Recalling this publicly heartbreaking episode Jobs said,
“I didn’t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being
successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.”
These heartbreaking lines touch my senses of what he has during his point in time of realizing what he had on his life. He apprehends the things which he has nothing to do it but taking for granted. His successful was replaced by the status of being a beginner it was suddenly at his 30 however, was fired from
the company he co-founded with Steve Wozniak. He left the company after losing a bitter battle over control with Apple’s CEO John Sculley (whom Jobs had recruited from Pepsi Cola).
Instead of losing hope on his own battle, he just keep on believing to convinced that the only thing that kept he going was that Steve Jobs loved what he did. Steve got to find what he really loves. And that is as true for his work as it is for his lovers. His work is going to fill a large part of his own life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work.
Taking the same career path that Steve Jobs took wasn’t that easy. But I will let my self grasp what he took of being a good technopreneur. Yes! I will confidently taking risks and consequences of a technopreneur. Working and earning my own money is one of my goals in this early age. Like me, people may think seriously of my future. Of course life is not a joke. But sometimes people don't know how to do it. Well in fact the things we need is just around us. We keep on looking for money and we are looking for it badly. Sadly, we don't really know about earning through technology. Technopreneurship, sounds weird right? But that is how it's called. And that’s the one way how Bill Gates and Steve Jobs shared and lead them in their own lives.
Yes! I am one of the billion people who don’t know and tried either to catches and hatches his eggs through the use of internet. As we go along in our lives we usually didn’t notice the importance of the negotiating business on his own time own place manipulated by the internet. Internationally numerous people or users get through browsing and surfing daily in the internet. Most of the time they are regularly (me also) visit and be entertained by number of social websites such as Facebook as one of the famous online sites diverting the users in such activities like chatting and drop their messages, announcements or even gossips on their profile. In stead of flick through different sites, why not engaging and interacting numerous people around the world. We have blogging, web developing, web designing and soon. Steve Jobs have the courage and determinacy succeeding this field and forming his own career. Though Jobs faces difficulties and problems along his journey, he never gives up. That’s one of the character ought to be and be after him.
Technopreneurship is the key to earn money through technology. Apple and Microsoft are the creative products it had. The word came from 2 different words. First, technology, and next is entrepreneurship, where it means business with the use of technology in its invention. People are really struggling for survival but we don't know that the stuffs that could save us from total distraction and broke is just beside us. Yes just beside us, we only need a computer and an internet connection. That's how amazing it is. And worst of it lots of people don't see this stuff and have no plan for their future. How could this be? first thing's first, There are lots of offers in the internet, ranging from advertising to affiliate business to freelance writing and now how could you say it's impossible to do. A s I’ve mentioned above blogging is one way of expressing and articulating ones ideas. We learn and finally at the moment we enhance and go on with this stuff we eventually earn money on our own account. Not just that we may employ our own employee.
In the same path of Steve Jobs its seems like impossible to race and obtain the same advance technology as he did in Apple. We are fully equipped with this high tech gadgets, software and hardware under their expertise. We couldn’t imagine competing with the same field in technopreneurship. How come?
Being technopreneur is really the things people consider now. Most especially the numbers of unemployed people, even fresh graduates with degrees and diplomas aren’t have work at this time. According to the sites I viewed, by these times that we have job inflation rate and based on statistics, here in Philippines, we have 13,000,000 people jobless.
