·         Why do you think Randy Pausch was able to achieve so many of his childhood dreams?

 Treat Life As An Experiment 

Treat life as an experiment expect failure

Try

Fail forward

Take risks

Pile of failures (ten thousand ways that do not work) Thomas Edison

Great team multiple failures

WD-40 40th chance worked.

Failure as steppingstones

 Last Lecture

One of the very most important things we see in his life is that he was not in deniel after things around him, we see that he kept going despite the challenges. He had Few regrets and this attitude it helped him power through life's challenges and failures. Being patient with himself helped him understand the processes and take them as he experienced what he really wanted. He said, “Experience is what you get when you don’t get what you want”  this helps a lot of individuals move forward as they develop different attributes and attitudes. He had the attitude of I want to make stuff like this rather than I want to do this. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show we want it badly. In his childhood his parents allowed him to paint the bedroom walls, I would also add that he was painting his dreams on the walls and it gave him such a boost in his life. Having dreams is just not enough, Its how to lead your life not about your dreams that gets you forward and successful.

 

 

·         Do you feel that dreaming is important? Why or why not?

 

One quotation I remember is, “dreaming is what keeps you up at night rather than what you fantasize in your sleep.” This quote clearly shows that the word dreams it's not just a fantasy but ambitions. Therefore, it is important to dream big.

·         Discuss at least one of your childhood dreams. Explain why you believe you can or cannot achieve this dream.

When we grew up, we would always say that I want to be a doctor I want to be a pilot I want to be something big, and we were not specific. One thing I do remember is that I wanted to be a successful businessman of my own business. I believe I'm in the road to achieving this dream.

  One of my goal is so that I can be a successful business owner of more than one business. This week has been one of the greatest weeks as I started this class, I am so excited to take part the activities in this course. Guy Kawasaki  what's very articulate and one of his videos he shared this week where you spoke about how one needs to truly do what they love doing for them to be successful, he mentioned how when one does something for money or start a business for money, they will be miserably rich or miserably poor. It is very interesting that he mentioned miserably rich and it being an oxymoron. When one has passion for something get determined to accomplish and achieve great results. This is one of the interesting things I've heard this week because I started my own business my last year but was still in the planning phase. This journey I have taken to do this degree in applied business management has been enlightening to my business or the planning of my business. This ...

Site Builder

 I enjoyed reading about the student's assessment of Weebly and agree with what he said.  However, I chose Yahoo Sites since I have previously used it (when it was named Site Builder) and am familiar with its abilities.  I should be able to quickly pull together a new website based upon my knowledge and prepare it for publication sooner.  Yahoo also has the ability to accept PayPal for services (which I'm using rather than products) and have the ability to receive information from clients via e-mails to my business address.  The others have the same ability, but as I said, since I'm family with an application already, I'm going to choose it again going forward. The first thing that took my attention in Weebly is how easy it is to build a website; it is just dragged and paste. I also like how Weebly looks. I have never built a website before, and, after playing a little bit with Weebly, I thought it was easier than the others. The second criterion th...

ROI & Optimizing Ad Performance

 For the conversion tracking code, WordPress gives a really good explanation and instruction on how and where you can put your tracking code. It took me a little bit to figure out how to do it, but in the end,  I was able to get it in on my conversion page! This class has taught me so much about websites! I am excited to see how this conversion tracking code will help me improve my website overall!  Narrowing your targeted audience, try to think of what people may type to look up things. I often use one word to search for things I want n the web, but I have realized that most people do not use one word when searching for things. Having this knowledge is helping reshape my creativity when it comes to creating a keyword or thing that people may lookup for. I have come to learn that one needs a lot of creativity to produce an effective keyword.
