APPENDIX

My advice to those who will take their Fieldtrip and Seminar program in the near future.

My advice is just be enjoy the field trip and be prepared for all the things that needed when you go to other places. One thing also that is important that you must save money before the day of the activities. When you are visiting a company you must take note all the details that had been discussed by the facilitator.

What can I recommend for the improvement of the Fieldtrip and Seminar Program?

For me, one thing that I can recommend for the field trip and seminars that the parents will inform earlier so that they can find an exact amount of money to provide in the field trip because it takes a lot of time and money is hard to find.

Third is the burning your eyebrow stage. This is the time that you are developing your codes and work with your thesis partner or group mates and the secret to make your project become successful; you must work as a team and fight those trials. Fourth is the nerve wracking stage? This is the time to test the effectiveness, motivation and GUI of your project. Fifth is the I did it stage. This is the time that you accomplish all your projects.

Assignment 5

Given the chance to have your own techno business, discuss its nature and target clients (3000 words).

Many people in our country became a reach because of there different businesses. As a human being, it is very important for us to earn money in order to supply our daily needs and to buy the things that we want. Building a business is not easy especially if you are not a business minded person. When I go back few years ago, my parents is building a small business and there business is they accept the appraise passbooks of the people who are working in the DOLE company. For how many months, the business of my parents was down because many people who are fired in there works and that is the reason that my parents could not recover there capital.

If I given the chance to have my own techno business, I choose the agricultural business because this is also the business of my parents and I want to continue and improve it. The products that I want to sell are durian, bananas, coffee and corn. One thing I really like this business because our country was known that rich in agricultural products and many people who can avail my business. Before I discuss the clients of my business, I'll tell you first the characteristics of my business.

First is the durian, the durian is known as "The king of all fruits”. The most common way to harvest the fruit is to wait until the fruit falls from the tree and waiting 2 to 4 days to fully ripen before eating. This is when the fruit is most tasteful and pungent. The durian fruit looses its eating quality in 5 or more days. Aside from being eaten fresh, the durian fruit is made into durian flavored candies, cakes, biscuits, shakes, ice cream. Eating durian is good for the heath. It is a good source of energy (high calorie), carbohydrates, dietary fiber and protein. The durian fruit has no cholesterol. In folk medicine, the juice of the durian leaves is applied to the head on patients with fever. Boiling the leaves and roots in water is also taken to lower the fever. The dense fragrance which spreads near and far, lingers a long time before disappearing. The strong smell can go straight to your nostrils, even though you are still several meters away from the fruit. The fragrance of durian is a mixture of smells which come from a ripening jackfruit and that of a shaddock. It can also be compared to the strong smell of foreign-made cheese and is rich as a hen's egg. Others describe the fruit as sweet as well-kept honey. All things considered, durian has a special tempting smell. Those who have not enjoyed the fruit before may find it hard to eat. But once they have tried it, they are likely to seek it again.

Second are the bananas, the bananas are the most important commodity for developing our country because these products are known to be export in other country. Many farmers planting a banana because it is not really an expensive kind of products and you can harvest it in a short term period. When you are planting the bananas, make sure that your area is clean so that the bananas were growing faster and healthy. If you see that there are weeds that are growing in your area were the bananas are planted you must cut it off so that the vitamin that comes from the soil goes directly to the roots of bananas. I have learned something how to harvest bananas because we have our small farm were the bananas are planted. When you are harvesting bananas, you make an extra effort and extra careful because bananas are very sensitive. When you are selling bananas it depends in there quality. The higher quality, the price is also higher. Bananas are relatively high in iron, which helps the body's hemoglobin function. Due to their content in fiber, they help restore a normal bowel function. In addition, diarrhea usually depletes your body of important electrolytes of which the most important is potassium, contained in high amounts in bananas. They also contain pectin, a soluble fiber that can help normalize movement through the digestive tract. Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood-sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness. Many people report that rubbing the inside of a banana peel on a mosquito bite is very effective in reducing itching and swelling.

Assignment 4

What are the lessons that you learned after reading the commencement address of Steve Jobs? (at least 1000words)

In our life we have different dreams and ambitions but we have the same goal is to achieve our ambitions and make our dreams come true. After reading the Commencement Exercise of Steve Jobs I found out that every one of us is have the capability to make our life become successful although there are a lot of trials that we encounter.

You’ve got to find what you love
I am so touch in the story of Steve Jobs because he lives in ordinary life, he got a financial problem, then he drop out from the college. Even he encounter a lot of problems he have the courage to fight those trials. I learned in his story that we need to make a right decision in our life and if you think that you make wrong moves better to stop it and if you think that your decision is right just continue and live it with purpose. Even if you experienced failure don’t let it be the reasons for quitting instead make this as a fuel to strive more in order to achieve what you want. Have faith in yourself that despite of all the hardships you can still stand and make your life a better one. The other one is do not underestimate yourself or capabilities. Steve Jobs is a drop out student, never got a diploma, he slept on the floor in the friend’s room.

“If you want to fulfill your dreams in life do not sleep be a risk taker person...”

If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right
I really appreciated the work of Steve Jobs because he is a risk taker person. I learned from his story that we do not waste our time we need to work hard because our time in this world is limited. I can say to myself that I am not a risk taker person because sometimes I am wasting my time in playing nonsense game just like defense of the ancient game I am so very addictive in that game. Now I realize when I read the Commencement Exercise of Steve Jobs I found out to myself that I have a potential to do something good to me and for others. As a technopreneur we need to strive hard in our life and have strength to face all the challenges that we encounter in our life. It is important to know your purpose in life because it would be easier for you to be successful. Since we are still on the exploring age, listing all the things that we like to do would take up the whole day to be done. Like me, I cannot point out on what I wanted to do because there are a lot of things that I personally wanted to do.

Assignment 3

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. (Matthew 6:33)



To live life as a good instrument of GOD

"Do your best and God will do the rest". As a human being, it is important to know the purpose of our life because God created us with purpose. God give us a countless blessings, the unconditional love and everything that we can see in this world is a God's creation and that is why we need to be thankful to God. As a God's creation I know what is the purpose of my life in this world.





MY PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE...

To take care the creation of God because God reveals himself to us through his creation.
To preach the good news of God.
To obey my parents.
To help other people in a good way.
To live my life to fullest.
To be a good model in my family even in our society.

Assignment 2

Your reflections/insights on your personal traits test ... (at least 2000 words)


“No man is an island and no man can stand alone”. In this passage remind us that we cannot live with our own and we need other people to be with because in that way, we develop our own aspects in life. These aspects are mental aspect, emotional aspect, spiritual aspect, physical aspect and also our social aspect. In order to know the five aspects in our life we must identified it first. Many people today don’t understand the true essence of five aspects in life.


*MENTAL ASPECT

Thought is a mental process which allows individuals to model the world, and so to deal with it effectively according to their goals, plans, ends and desires. One way to think about mental health is by looking at how effectively and successfully a person functions. Feeling capable and competent; being able to handle normal levels of stress, maintaining satisfying relationships, and leading an independent life; and being able to "bounce back," or recover from difficult situations, are all signs of mental health. Because I spend most of my day working to help others be successful, and thereby helping myself as well, I require a large amount of mental energy that is positive and self-fulfilling. In other words, I keep myself going every day through a practice of mental readjustment. Taking control of your attitude. Sit down with yourself and analyze what goes through your mind on a regular basis. Does it bring you up and make you feel good? Does it bring you down and depress you? If your thoughts bring you up, congratulations. You are off to a good start. If they bring you down find new ways of looking at things. Deal with challenges one at a time and then celebrate successes. Don't forget to ask friends and family for help if you need it. Once your attitude is helping you overall, start tweaking your thoughts to empower you. When you reach a challenge or a difficult situation, tell yourself, "I can handle this, it's easy!" And mean it. Then deal with the challenge. As you do you will find that it really is easy to deal with? Deal with your fears! Don't avoid them. Avoiding a fear only makes it worse and increases the reluctance to deal with it. What you need to do is face the fear. Accept it and admit it to yourself. Deal with it a little bit at a time and add steps as you gain confidence. Take complete responsibility for your thoughts and mental processes. Emotions can be useful and powerful tools and I actually live through my emotions more than through my thoughts. Because of this I have to spend a lot of time adjusting my thoughts to help my emotions, and vice versa. If you are blue, or depressed, find the source and deal with it. In serious cases you may need professional help, but more likely you just need to work through challenges. If you tend to be angry, the same thing applies. Figure the source and work through the issues. Anger can be redirected into productivity especially if you can visualize success as "revenge" upon those who have made you angry. To help with the process of mental strength and vitality remember to solve problems one at a time. Remember to make plans that you can complete daily. Remember to prioritize your time and do the most important things first! And every day remind yourself of the beauty around you. Of the blessings in your life. Of the people that you love and who love you.


*EMOTIONAL ASPECT

The role of development is to adopt the environment. We can’t develop ourselves with our own actions because sometimes, we don’t know that the things that we can do is not right. That was the reason why we need other people and the reason also to adopt our environment. Since we are talking about emotional aspect, it comes first in our mind that it talked about love. All of us are experienced in love just like loving our parents and loving God of course. Aside from that, as a teenager we can’t deny that we can fall in love in the other people and the reason why we court because we love them so much. But sometimes when we express our feelings to other people they cannot take it because they don’t like. In that situation we are hurt because the can’t accept love it’s just like saying “it hurts a lot you know”? All we can do is to accept because that’s the reality or we realize that we have the right love at the wrong time. So, in that reason we need to wait the right time in order for us to avoid hurt and we can say that “true love can wait”. On the downside the emotional risks associated with starting a business can be great whether the business succeeds or fails. Consider how your complete dedication to and immersion in the new venture will affect your marriage and family. When you spend every waking hour dealing with business problems it may not leave much emotional energy to deal with family problems. Are your spouse and children prepared and able to make the emotional investment needed for you to start a business? If you venture goes down, will you be able to prevent your marriage and family from going down as well? Risks and rewards come in many forms. The most obvious are financial, but for many entrepreneurs the financial issues are of less importance than others. The two I want to discuss first are professional and emotional. What different people consider acceptable risk will vary substantially? More things than money must be considered.

*SPIRITUAL ASPECT

As a technopreneurship, we need to develop also our spiritual aspect because this is the way that we can communicate God. Without God we are nothing. Even if you are busy in your business life you must have also a time for God. Many people who are rich in the way of business, they earn a lot of money, and they can eat the right amount of food, they can go anywhere. But one thing I can say is they have time to communicate God? I know that there are lots of people who are rich and after there business will go down. We need to know the important of Jesus in our life because he is the one our savior. It is not difficult to attend a mass every Sunday and it takes only one hour. Successful entrepreneurs have a healthy opinion of them and often have a strong and assertive personality. They are focused and determined to achieve their goals and believe completely in their ability to achieve them. Their self optimism can often been seen by others as flamboyance or arrogance but entrepreneurs are just too focused to spend too much time thinking about un-constructive criticism. I always experience financial problems and I think most people do. Perhaps in the future when I will encounter problems regarding money, as of now I can say I am not yet set to be able to handle that kind of situation. But the characteristic of being optimistic can help me solve this kind of problem at least. It was also mentioned in the test about having money or getting rich. Of course I really wish to be one someday. I am looking forward to be a great technopreneur and be an owner of my own successful business. I want to have a build my own house enough for my family to live in. I am determined to earn money to the deepest effort I can do. I want to have a bright future someday and help my family on the provision of their needs. I am willing to give time to attain these goals but spending my time to my loved ones is also important for me. Despite of being busy on business matters, I will make sure to still have time to spend with my family and also to our God.


*PHYSICAL ASPECT

This aspect is very important as a technopreneurship because if you are a businessman/businesswoman not only the product that you need to take care or to think just think also your health. Our body is our capital and once it is not work our business is down. That is why we need to take care of our body just like eat the right amount of food, exercise, balance diet and just relax. But sometimes we encounter some big problems in our life and that is the reason that we cannot concentrate and our mind was so very tired of thinking and it affects that our body is also tired. Personally I am now in the state of being molded. I am not yet fit to be a technopreneur, but at least I am aiming now to become one, and not just one but a successful one. I will go to school to gain enough knowledge, to socialize and gain more confidence, to communicate and learn to think of others feelings and to venture to gain experience. What we learn in school or even outside the school will be part of our experiences and will become a part of our personality. The best way to deal with any situation is always from a holistic way and in the right order as well. When you work with a situation from a higher level, it may be resolved long before even needing to proceed to the lower levels. Having the awareness of how interrelated things affect one another from both sides is the power of total perspective. Always remember, the mind is above the brain. I am moderately expressed extravert which means I am more concerned with external reality than on inner feelings which really defines the real inside of me because as I perceived, reality is somewhat needed to be faced readily than to be overcome by feelings which has no rated basis and wouldn’t be able to change what is really happening in the present, that has a slightly expressed intuitive personality which means I slightly perceived situations through intuitions and in my own perceptions.


*SOCIAL ASPECT

As technopreneur we need to know how to socialize other people in a good way and in a good manner also because we are the one who introduced our product someday and we are the boss in our company and in order to our to develop our business we need to be humble, patient, and do the things that make your business grow and broaden. Many businessman/businesswoman that there business was already down because they don’t know how to socialize people, how to manage there product and most of all they don’t know how to manage there worker. They considered as friendly, generous, helpful, and willing to compromise with others. As a technopreneur, they should practice the character of being approachable both your customers and other people. He/she should gain a strong relationship with others. I must learn and study soon to be an agreeable so that my percentage of this factor will increase. I want to learn how to trust some people completely because if I have meet new people I can’t give my fully trust. At times the technopreneur or entrepreneur must to think through the preeminent for others such as the customers, client or even the coworkers, because having strong relationship with them will lead it to the strong walls to protect from the competitors. In this factor I obtain lower result because I'm not that friendly like others. I don’t like to socialize with stranger people. Though I like party yet not that as crowd as concert. All I want in the party is the food. If you planning your own business make sure that you truly know about your self because if you don’t know yourself the business well down and no direction.



LIVING WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE IS LIKE A BOAT IN A DRY LAND, YOU HAVE NO DIRECTION IN YOUR LIFE…

GOD BLESS US ALL!!!
