This week we read a case study about Magdalena Yesil, which
was hugely inspirational to me. I was so
impressed by her love of learning, determination to succeed, how she conquered
every new thing she was up against, and how she has changed the internet that I
love so much today. She is incredible
and a huge role model for me. I would be
very interested to read more about her and possibly reading some of the books
she’s written. I am awestruck by how
much she accomplished with a little family at home.
I also really enjoyed learning from Frank Levison about how they didn’t have the budget for horses in the Monty Python and the Holy Grail movies. When you see the movie, and the “horse coconuts” you just assume that was all planned as a big joke, because it’s hilarious. It’s amazing what brilliant innovation is born out of necessity. I read the book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” and he talks a lot about this. When you are hungry you work harder! I love that idea because it’s a way to look at a misfortune or hard time and see the good in it.
And in
my reading of The Ministry of Business this week I really enjoyed learning
about “The Formula”. There are definitely
some areas that I need to work on improving and I’m going to focus right now on
getting up early and working hard, and obviously my education. I can really see how the formula will be
beneficial!
