The article this week was extremely interesting because it involves two current FGCU students. It's cool how people are own ages were able to create an app that could possibly be the next facebook. I agree with what Anton Nicola said that everyone is scared to do things, I am definitely a perfect example of this because when I come up with ridiculous ideas in my mind I usually blow them off and never ponder the ideas of them again. The lesson that could be learned from this article is that you never know until you try. This is how great inventions are created, take for instance the invention of the light bulb. Thomas Edison took a chance and the result is something all of us depend on a daily for instant light.
This story inspired me, that you can pretty much do anything you want in the world if you put your mind to it. These two students are just like me, I can go out and do something unheard of as well. I doubt that it would be creating a really cool app, but hey you never know what crazy idea I will think of next. Next time, I will be sure to write the idea down!
My friends and I are also always brainstorming random things. Whenever we're faced with a problem we think about what we could invent to solve it. I suppose we never act upon our ideas for lack of funds to actually pursue them.
ReplyDeleteA wise guy once told me "You're in college. You can hit the reset buttons as many times as you want. Remember, when you're on your death bed, you're going to look back and regret the things you didn't do so take chances. Do whatever you want to do. The worst thing that can happen is you land right where you started." This story reinforced that.
I thought it was cool to a read story about two kids from my school who made a new app. I am definitely hesitant to put my ideas out there for the fear of rejection, but, they weren’t. They went through all the steps they needed to make this app a reality. I know that im the only person that can hold myself back and if have the right mindset I can do anything. Even if there is a road block it doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world, I just have to keep going and do what I need to do to accomplish my goals.
