Serendipity Walk Experience
One thing I remembered when I did a Serendipity walk was that the idea that I must think about for the Technopreneurship subject lead and taught to us by our dean and the current president of PSITE Sir Randy S. Gamboa. For this topic, when I did a serendipity walk heading to my home in Matina, I walked from the Penong’s to our house which took me almost 30 minutes so while I was walking I spent my thinking about the idea I would like to use and to present for our subject called Technopreneurship 1. One idea I would like to share while I was doing the serendipity walk is the app that called X-ray app in which an individual can use their phone and use it as their X-ray to scan their bones on their own but as I have researched about X-rays, one requirement it needs to be created is a special machine in which light can pass through the body of a human without harming him or her and I as I researched more about it, it came to my mind that for now, X-ray app on the cellphone is quite impossible as of now but I believed in the future or near future, it would really be possible for humans to use their handheld gadget as an X-ray. Another app I also thought while doing my serendipity walk was the one called height scale app in which anyone can know everyone’s height just by using the handheld gadget’s camera and the app will use the image processing to determine the height of the human taken in the picture. In determining the height of the person through the app, the individual must take a picture of the person in his or her whole body so that the logarithm in which the app will use will determine the average height of the human person that wants to know the height through this app, but I also realized that not everyone wants to know what their height is and also there is no way the app would be profitable because of so many reasons like there would be no way to have it for premium users and we all know that all customers do not want to pay micro transactions because they do not want to spend money for just a simple app in which only does record your height unless they are so dedicated to it that they would spend money for it. Just like most humans in a hobby, if they are so dedicated to that sort of thing they would not mind spending money for it because they love their hobby so much that spending money is never a problem for them. Another Serendipity walk that I did was in from University of Southeastern Philippines going to the Acacia Street in which I go to find some jeepneys so that I can go home. One idea and app that I thought was the app that the kind in which will make paying taxes of people become easier and not much of a hassle. What I can think is that, a website in which people can deposit money into it and when the time comes, people can pay the taxes through the deposited money in their own account. The system works just like banking but in this case, you are paying for the government. Taxpayers can buy load cards with unique codes in which they can buy at malls, then they can enter the unique code in the website and through that, their account balance would be added by the amount in which the unique code is assigned to. Then, through the account balance in the taxpayer’s account, they can pay their taxes, certain loans, PhilHealth balances and many more. The website can let them the taxpayers check if they have existing balances, or any missing requirements the government needs. The website is also hassle-free because, the taxpayers doesn’t need to line-up and they can just load their accounts so it will be safer and easier to pay the existing payments for the government. Example is a taxpayer wants to pay his/her income taxes but he/she doesn’t have a huge time and doesn’t want to be in a hassle when lining up at the branches, so what he/she does is just register at the specific website for that government agency, load his/her account by buying cards from the specific mall, then if he/she can use or browse the internet, he/she can just pay the needed tax through the website and his/her account without hassle, and safely. Through this, people could easily pay for their taxes and bills online easier and no hassle in which this is comfortable for most people because most taxpayers are busy people and for them time so precious that it must not be wasted for unnecessary things. Through this, people would have their time saved from lining up on government agencies. What inspired me to think of this kind of idea is when I pass through the NBI or National Bureau of Investigation, I noticed that many people lined up just to get the NBI Clearance in which is necessary and needed when getting jobs. Also, my mom said that it was so much a hassle when paying taxes for the government because of too many people going to pay too for their bills and because my mom is super busy, she needs to allocate time so that she can pay her bills so what I thought is that what if I solve both problems, which are lining up and paying the bills, so that I can hit 2 birds with one stone, so, I thought of this but this has still be to approve to out professor, Sir Randy S. Gamboa, so that I could submit this kind of idea to the local, national and International competitions in which is needed to pass the subject Technopreneurship 1 and so that I do not have an INC grade.
EQ Test
According to maetrix.com.a, my score is the one shown in the picture. As we noticed that in the picture there 4 scores in which they are separated with Self-awareness, Self-management, Social Awareness, and Relationship Management. And the scores, based on the picture, has the total of 10. The meaning of Self-awareness in this test is comprised of three competencies; emotional self-awareness, where you are able to read and understand your emotions as well as recognize their impact on work performance and relationships; accurate self-assessment, where you are able to give a realistic evaluation of your strengths and limitations; and self-confidence, where you have a positive and strong sense of one’s self-worth. The starting point and key in these areas is the ability to be critically self-reflective. Self-management is comprised of five competencies; Self-control, which is keeping disruptive emotions and impulses under control; transparency, which is maintaining standards of honesty and integrity, managing yourself and responsibilities; and adaptability, which is the flexibility in adapting to changing situations and overcoming obstacles; achievement orientation, which is the guiding drive to meet an internal standard of excellence; and initiative, which is the readiness to seize opportunities and act. Social Awareness is comprised of three competencies; empathy, which is understanding others and taking an active interest in their concerns; organizational awareness, which is the ability to read the currents of organizational life, build decision networks and navigate politics; and service orientation, which is recognizing and meeting customer’s needs. The adaptable, success-oriented type. The Social cluster of Relationship Management is comprised of seven competencies; visionary leadership, which is inspiring and guiding groups and individuals; developing others, which is the propensity to strengthen and support the abilities of others through feedback and guidance; influence, which is the ability to exercise a wide range of persuasive strategies with integrity, and also includes listening and sending clear, convincing and well-tuned messages; change catalyst, which is the proficiency in initiating new ideas and leading people in a new direction; conflict management, which is resolving disagreements and collaboratively developing resolutions; building bonds, which is building and maintaining relationships with others; and teamwork and collaboration, which is the promotion of cooperation and building of teams.
IQ Test
According to memorado.com/iqtest website, my IQ score is 126. As I searched through the internet the meaning of having a 126 IQ score according to the site, it meant that " It means you are very smart. You should do well in school, without struggling with too much boredom or frustration. You also have the smarts to do well in life, and can pretty much take on any career you wish."
I am shocked because I am not that smart for me. Also the memorado site told me that I am "smarter" than 95% percent of the population. What I can say that is I am shocked and quite happy too because I also found out why I can understand lessons quite fast.
AQ Results
I got the score of 42 in my AQ Test given by Sir Gamoba. This score means that I am Somewhat Entrepreneurial. What I can say is that, I reached this score because of the many factors I have. First is that my father taught me when I was young how to handle a business and what are the famous strategies of famous businessmen around. And I can also say that I am quite curious of entrepreneurship that is why I got this score.

Reflection/Learning (SEED Curriculum)
Last month, September thirteen two thousand and sixteen,
Tuesday, and last September twenty two thousand and sixteen, Thrusday, Sir
Randy S. Gamboa taught us about the SEED curriculum, which stands for
Self-Mastery as S, Environment Mastery as E, Enterprise Mastery as the other E,
and Development of the business plan as D. I think that the SEED’s aim is to
teach the students of their potential when it comes to Technopreneurship. SEED
is a course model for the subject called Techonpreneurship. Self-mastery’s
explanation is in which you must know thyself and what you should master must
be the passion in knowing yourself. Self-mastery is the passion from knowing
yourself. It also brings passion. What I learned while Sir Randy S. Gamboa was
teaching us the Self Mastery assessment, that in life, not only in
technopreneurship, we must know what we really want to do. Because it will be a
waste of time and money if we do something that we do not like or we do not
know. Also, if you master yourself or you know yourself, you will also learn
the strengths that you do not know and you do not expect and the weaknesses you
must conquer and face on your own. When you know yourself, you know what you
want and what you do not want. It means that you must know what you want.
Example is that I like to create games and I don’t want to work on codes in
android apps, so what I must do is that I must enhance my skills on creating
games more than coding in android apps. Self-mastery is important in
Techopreneurship because what I think is that if you do business on something
that you do not want, there is a possibility that the business you are doing
will not do any good to you and you also won’t be happy in your business and
probably you will never ever make an effort to make that business a successful
one if you don’t like it. Also, a self-mastered person is a person that does
not need to have a high IQ, does need EQ or Emotional Quotient and AQ which
means Adversity Quotient, is naturally a performer, competitive and efficient,
an epicure, being sensual and cheery, and a boss, the one who takes charge and
loves a good fight, is a whole-brained person, has personal vision for the
business and knows the strengths and weaknesses of it. The second is Enterprise
Mastery which is about generating ideas and seeking opportunities out from his
or her environment through serendipity walks, crises, trends, and many more. An
Environment mastered person understands the industry he or she is in, sees the
opportunities and not the problems, is on the top situation instead of being
under the situation, and is the organization or the industry innovator and
strategist. Since we are in a modern industry, a technopreneur must generate
ideas based on the modern trends usually or what is needed in a specific area.
A technopreneur must know how to create initiatives, ideas, income from nothing
to something that is worthwhile. For me, a technopreneur must take advantage of
a trend, because this will help him or her create ideas that are unique and
creative with the use of trends since nowadays, people always follow what is
the trend in a specific time or place. He or she must also prepare very many
ideas in any case the first idea of his or hers is not that of an income
generator. Example for this is that the rising trend of Pokemon Go, in this
case many of the businessman in malls did a trend in which putting a lure
party, a special item in the said app, in malls to increase the customers in
the mall. Since it is in a mall, customers will also take advantage of the
shops in there and because of this the malls will greatly earn more money than
they should because of the trend and taking advantage of it. A technopreneur
must also take advantage of what are the trends nowadays. The next is a
technopreneur must be an enterprise mastered person. This means that he or she
must know how to run a business. This pertains to the knowledge of the different
enterprise disciplines such as creating the business, marketing management,
operations management, and financial management and risk management. He or she
also understands and
integrates the process of management (planning, organizing, directing, and
controlling) and leads
and inspires rather than manage. This means that a technopreneur must know at
least how to run a business, he must be good at deciding things in which there
are risks, also he or she must be good at leading different things especially
when it comes to financial and marketing, he or she must be good at speaking,
convincing, suggesting and taking risks when it is needed. He or she leads and
inspires rather than manage. He or she leads the team when needed, and he or
she must also be good at taking risks when the business needs to. And lastly of
the SEED, it is the Development of Business Plan. It is the development of
business plan covers by writing the business plan, presenting and defending the
business plan, and adding refinements to the presented business plan. A
technopreneur must also be good in making a reasonable business plan since this
is one of the cores of creating a business. He or she must have the reasonable
reasons in defending the business plan he or she developed and created. But in
developing business plans, he or she must also have the right reasons and
back-up reasons on why he or she included it in the business plans since for me
this the most risky part in technopreneurship, but if you fail in this one, try
and try again until furthermore you have succeed. SEED is one of the most
important part in the technopreneurship subject because this teaches the
students the basic and the life situations you are most likely to bump on while
doing the business. About SEED curriculum, what I can reflect from this is the
way we will learn about it in technopreneurship. Because of SEED, I believe
that many people went into startup businesses because of this kind of
curriculum. SEED which stands for Self-mastery, Enterprise Mastery, Environment
Mastered and Development of the business plan. Because of the curriculum named
“Self-mastery, Enterprise Mastery, Environment Mastered and Development of the
business plan,” many people or specifically students of technopreneurship
subject which are mostly Bachelor of Science in Information Technology, start
some startup business companies because, the “Self-mastery, Enterprise Mastery,
Environment Mastered and Development of the business plan” curriculum gives
them the alternative mindset which is “go to school, get good grades, and be an
employer.” The aim of the curriculum “Self-mastery, Enterprise Mastery,
Environment Mastered and Development of the business plan” is to change the
mindset of most students to be business minded and just not be an employee of a
company. Being an employer has very many advantages and because of this I think
that the “Self-mastery, Enterprise Mastery, Environment Mastered and
Development of the business plan” curriculum was born out of this. In SEED
curriculum or “Self-mastery, Enterprise Mastery, Environment Mastered and
Development of the business plan” curriculum, it teaches the students to be a
technopreneur in the future. Technopreneur, for me, means that being an
entrepreneur but the medium of the business will be the use of modern
technology. Technopreneurs and even entrepreneurs always take advantage of any
situation, crisis or anytime that they can take into their own hands to their
business. Any technopreneur or entrepreneur must take the things into his own
advantage. It means that anything that happens around him or her must be seeing
it as an opportunity to gain income and not as a hindrance in his or her
business. For me, a technopreneur or entrepreneur must also apply what he or
she learned in “Self-mastery, Enterprise Mastery, Environment Mastered and
Development of the business plan,” or the SEED curriculum if he or she passed
it in his or her studies. It is because for me, an entrepreneur or a
technopreneur must learn of the struggles of past ones. What I meant is that
when becoming a technopreneur or an entrepreneur, he or she must apply all the
learning they learned from other’s experience too because of this, they can
avoid the common mistakes that they have made and they can avoid some big and
wrong decisions but it is quite better if the technopreneur or the entrepreneur
will really experience all of these so that they will learn from it and really
put the bad decision and learning into their heart because for me, if it is the
first time you did a wrong decision, it
will stick into your brain and heart the pain you felt when the consequences
happen and the entrepreneur or the technopreneur will never ever do the same
big and wrong decision they made. One of the aspects an entrepreneur or a technopreneur
must learn int “Self-mastery, Enterprise Mastery, Environment Mastered and
Development of the business plan” curriculum or the SEED curriculum, is the
self-mastery that the person needs to master. It is because of this first
category that most entrepreneurs and technopreneurs became successful. If you
know what you love, and you know the strengths you have, then you will exert
more effort in the business you are establishing with something you love.
According to a study, a person that loves to do what he or she does, tends to
be exert more effort on the business that he loves because he or she does not
consider it as “tiring work” but he or she considers it as “happy time” because
what he or she is doing is doing it because that is what he or she loves to do.
Another advantage of this is that you will know the strengths that you have as
you are doing the business that you are establishing of something that you like
or love. And also you can apply the strength that you realize through the
lesson. Example if you are good at communication skills, you can apply it in
the business by talking to the customers and even convincing them to buy your
product. Or the strength of talking to other people can be used to talking to
potential investors in which it can convince the potential investors into
investing in your business which is a big help to the business because in this
way, you can buy more equipment needed in which it will be used more to
potentially get customers and to increase the number of customers. Also
learning you weaknesses will not only enhance the company that he or she owns
but it will also enhance the human or the technopreneur or the entrepreneur
himself in which this can help in his or her own good and in his or her own
business. It will not only let the business grow but also it will let the
person grow because if the person will not risk on doing in his or her own
weakness, then he or she will never ever grown unless he or she will face the
risk of the challenges his or her weakness makes. In facing the weakness he or
she has, he or she must accept all the consequences he or she will get in
facing the risks and the weaknesses he or she has. In this part, the
technopreneur or the entrepreneur must always face his or her weakness and he
or she must never run away from it because it will just chase him or her until
he or she overcomes the weakness he or she has. Also, when facing weaknesses
one must also know its limits and scope in business because these are the cause
in which can also fail being a technopreneur or an entrepreneur. The second is
an entrepreneur or a technopreneur must also have enterprise mastery in which means
that a technopreneur or an entrepereneur must be generating ideas and
seeking opportunities out from his or her environment through serendipity
walks, crises, trends, and many more. This means that a technopreneur or an
entrepreneur must also generate ideas from certain things in which can help
promote or grow his or her own company. In generating ideas, it must be unique
and the idea must also be an effective one in which you can generate more
income or help the company or the business you own in which it can benefit you
and the company you own. Being a enterprise minded entrepreneur or
technopreneur makes you a thoughtful one and opportunistic in which you or the
company can benefit from it. Example is if it is in the time of the trending
things, so what you must do is that think of some ways to turn the tables into
making the trend more beneficial to you in which you can generate more income
and can let you and your company grow in which will result to a higher income
which is the goal of being an employer. An Environment mastered person
understands the industry he or she is in, sees the opportunities and not the
problems, is on the top situation instead of being under the situation, and is
the organization or the industry innovator and strategist. Since we are in a
modern industry, a technopreneur must generate ideas based on the modern trends
usually or what is needed in a specific area. A technopreneur must know how to
create initiatives, ideas, income from nothing to something that is worthwhile.
For me, a technopreneur must take advantage of a trend, because this will help
him or her create ideas that are unique and creative with the use of trends
since nowadays, people always follow what is the trend in a specific time or
place. He or she must also prepare very many ideas in any case the first idea
of his or hers is not that of an income generator. Example for this is that the
rising trend of Pokemon Go, in this case many of the businessman in malls did a
trend in which putting a lure party, a special item in the said app, in malls
to increase the customers in the mall. Since it is in a mall, customers will
also take advantage of the shops in there and because of this the malls will
greatly earn more money than they should because of the trend and taking
advantage of it. A technopreneur must also take advantage of what are the
trends nowadays. Also, a tefchnopreneur must also be environment mastered so
that he can take advantage of all the things around him or her. And maybe
because of this, being an environment mastered person can lead to the success
of the company and the growth of both the company and to the growth of the
technopreneur which can benefit him or her not only in business but also in
dealing them in real life. Next, a technopreneur must also be an enterprise
mastered person. This means that he or she must know how to run a business.
This pertains to the knowledge of the different enterprise disciplines such as
creating the business, marketing management, operations management, and
financial management and risk management. He or she also understands and integrates the process of
management (planning, organizing, directing, and controlling) and leads and inspires rather than
manage. This means that a technopreneur must know at least how to run a
business, he must be good at deciding things in which there are risks, also he
or she must be good at leading different things especially when it comes to
financial and marketing, he or she must be good at speaking, convincing,
suggesting and taking risks when it is needed. He or she leads and inspires
rather than manage. He or she leads the team when needed, and he or she must
also be good at taking risks when the business needs to. And lastly of the
SEED, it is the Development of Business Plan. It is the development of business
plan covers by writing the business plan, presenting and defending the business
plan, and adding refinements to the presented business plan. A technopreneur
must also be good in making a reasonable business plan since this is one of the
cores of creating a business. He or she must have the reasonable reasons in
defending the business plan he or she developed and created. But in developing
business plans, he or she must also have the right reasons and back-up reasons
on why he or she included it in the business plans since for me this the most
risky part in technopreneurship, but if you fail in this one, try and try again
until furthermore you have succeed. SEED is one of the most important part in
the technopreneurship subject because this teaches the students the basic and
the life situations you are most likely to bump on while doing the business. In
developing business plan is one of the crucial steps for me in the SEED
curriculum or the “Self-mastery, Enterprise Mastery, Environment Mastered and
Development of the business plan,” it is because oin developing business plan
is quite hard because you need to make realistic situations and realistic
decisions in which you could think to make your business grow and be successful
in business. Because of Business plans, students and learners who took and learn
the “Self-mastery, Enterprise Mastery, Environment Mastered and Development of
the business plan” curriculum tend to start startup business in which they can
earn from it. So what I learned mostly in the “Self-mastery, Enterprise
Mastery, Environment Mastered and Development of the business plan” curriculum
is that the factors that are taught in the SEED curriculum are useful and
realistic in starting a startup business.

Pirates of the Silicon Valley
1 1. The
factor that contributed to the successes and failure of Steve Jobs. The
first that affects or contributed to his success and failures is that
his thick faced or “baga ug nawong” attitude. For me, it is because
since him and Steve Wozniak need a copy of an Altair Machine, they need
to present a presentation in which the result would be that they were
given a copy or a machine of the Altair they needed and for me, in that
scene, what rose in my mind or what gave me the attention was the thick
faced attitude of Steve Jobs where he had a huge confidence in
presenting the machine or the software they need to present to get the
specific item that him and Steve Wozniak wants. Another trait that
contributed to his successes was thinking out of the box in any ways.
Example was when Steve Wozniak said when he was assembling something he
said that what he can see is the kilobytes, or circuit boards while what
he see is the karma or the meaning of the universe. For me, it is like
thinking outside the box because what he was seeing through it all is an
opportunity to be a successful entrepreneur. He also thinks differently
than all of us because that is what Steve Wozniak said when he was
interviewed and he told the media the days were he and Steve Jobs were
still in University of California Berkeley Campus. During the student
anti-war movements, teenagers Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak were shown
caught on the campus riot between the students and the police. They flee
after finding safety and Steve Jobs said that “Those guys think they
are revolutionaries. They are not revolutionaries. We are.” What I think
Steve Jobs meant here is that they are the ones doing the real
revolution not against the rights of others or anything but against the
machines. What I meant is that they are revolutionizing for the
machines. After that, also, what I think that helps or contributes to
his success or failures was in being a practical and sometimes a
critical thinker when it comes to technology. He knew when to hide it,
he knew when to show it, he knew when to hide it again and he knew when
to show it again. I guess this what you call a strategic minded person
in which he or she knows many ways to come up to a successful attempt to
finish what he started. Another personality that contributed to his
success or failure was the way his mindset has. Remember the scene in
the movie in which he got mad at Steve Wozniak for accepting the
interview for they call the “first computer” to a company in which they
are willing to buy that stuff? He said that he aims for a company and
not working for a company. For me, that is the real mindset of a
technopreneur, being the employer and not the employee, because if you
are the employee, you would highly depend and being ordered around by
the employer that employed you while, if you are an employer, you can do
almost anything, risk anything and anything you want to do unless you
are keeping the company safe and still profit from all that you have
done. Another thing that contributed to the successes and failures of
Steve Jobs is the madness that he has or the uncontrollable anger in
which he has in himself. Before he presented the “first computer” to a
computer club somewhere in the United States of America, he had first
his anger management test because he was mad at his mother for leaving
him when he was too young. I can say that personal emotions and feelings
must never interfere on your way to being a successful person in the
future because once it hinders, it will never ever separate anymore.
Another thing or contribute to his success and failure was that all this
time all he thinks his opponent in the machine revolution is the IBM or
the International Business Machines, the largest computer company in
the world since 1911, and he never see Microsoft, a small company at the
time, as a threat at all. That was one of his biggest mistakes ever
made in his life where he overestimated the IBM, and he over
underestimated small companies like Microsoft and many more. What also
contributed in his success was the way he presented or the way he
reaches his goal. For me, the way he reached his goal was kind of a
dirty and in an immoral way in which he lied, stole, and many bad things
he did more than what we count. For me, it is never okay to reach a
goal in the way Steve Jobs did, he lied, stole, and did many things more
just to reach his goal of that. Another thing or something that
contributed to his success or failure was the way he treated his
employees. From the first part, he treated all of his employees, when
they were still only four, with proper respect, etiquette, and many
more. After a while, when his company went large, rich and more
successful, the way he treated his employees became more of a master and
slave type. Where, he is the master and scolds them whenever they do
something wrong, and he almost always says that he pays them to create a
program and never to rest because he thinks that working for ninety
hours a week would make them more productive, promising and would make
the Apple company more successful than it ever was but in reality, they
never ever learned from him. He always pressures them whenever he yells
at them and there was one specific employee in which sleep is never
allowed and that is such an abusive act when it comes to the employees.
For me, he was an abusive kind of person who only uses human s and
throws the away whenever he does not need them for his goals and hat is
also what failed him. Another thing is that he trusts too much in his
friends. That is also the personality of his that contributed to the
successes and failures of Steve Jobs. It is because he promoted John
Sculley to a Chief Executive Officer, and because of this he treated all
other human or employees or under him as a working machine. Letting
them work for like what I said 90 hours a week, and he did not let them
allow to rest and that is kind of a worker abuse but they still continue
to work for him. After John Sculley was promoted, it is like he was
carefree in everything he does believing that in everything he do, he
always can beat the International Business Machine company in which that
time was considered as the final boss of every company that wants to be
successful. After trusting Joh Sculley too much, he believed that he
will be an untouched person since he is the one who developed his own
company and he believes he has the immunity in which he will not be
rusticated from the workplace he created. He also had too much trust on
Steve Wozniak that he believes that he will never ever go away from his
side since Steve Wozniak was with Steve Jobs since the beginning in
which Steve Jobs is the brains while Steve Wozniak was the work. He
relied too much that Steve Wozniak would never ever leave his side but
in the end, because of his bad attitude towards other employees, Steve
Wozniak left the Apple Company even though he and Steve Jobs were one of
the first people who founded and created Apple companies. And I think
that was one of the attributes he has that contributed to the failure of
Steve Jobs. I knew trusting too much is not good because you will never
ever know what will happen next or you will never ever expect what will
happen in the future so never ever trust too much. Another thing that
contributed to Steve Jobs success and failure is the one in which he
“stole” the mouse and the user interface code or the system in which the
company Xerox rejected. Since the Xerox company rejected that concept,
Steve Jobs took the advantage in which he “stole” the idea or the mouse
and the user interface in which in their time was kind of like a diamond
in a bronze mine. Because of this, they developed the Apple Lisa which
is named after Steve Jobs’ first daughter, and from there, he developed
the mouse and the user interface. Another attribute that contribute in
his failure and success was when he let his company divide into two
“entities.” One is team Macintosh in which includes the developers for
the Macintosh versus the rest of Apple. He thinks that it would make his
company become more successful but in the end, the Windows still became
more popular and more successful than Apple because of this.
2. I
see myself as an entrepreneur as a more safe player type. What I mean
by that is that I do not take too much risk but I know that is bad for
the company I am company I am working on which is my company but as for
now, I see myself as a safe player when it comes to becoming an
entrepreneur. I also see myself as to be a type that which
takes care and kind of dependent on my employees because as of now, I,
Rhobert Vincent Y. Odoya, am telling myself that I must take care of the
people around me and the ones I care. It is because I realized that
when you do not take care of your employees, like Steve Jobs, your
company might be in a great danger. Like how Steve Jobs never ever take
care or being concerned on the health of his employees when he was
already a successful entrepreneur. Because of this it lead to his
downfall position at his own company and eventually being fired from his
own company and for me it is one of the biggest embarrassment if I were
Steve Jobs. Also if I were an entrepreneur, I could see myself as a
like a Bill Gates one in which I will do everything to gain income and
financial capital in my own business. I know I would take small risk but
now I will try taking large risks in which it could benefit myself as
an entrepreneur and for my own company’s income. It is because if I am
not taking any risks, my company could not be in danger but will never
ever gain customers, clients, and income in which it would be difficult
for the company to struggle without. As an entrepreneur, I would also
see myself as the kind that will prepare in any case something happens. I
realized that an entrepreneurs must be ready at all times even though
at good times, an entrepreneur must always prepare an emergency plan. I
must prepare emergency plans in any case the situation gets worse.
Because if I ever do not prepare emergency plans, there would be a
possibility that the business would fail and would hardly get back up or
if it is just a small one, it may become large to a point where it
can’t be cured or cannot be fixed anymore. That Is why we must always
prepare emergency even though we are not an entrepreneur or we are an
entrepreneur so we can be ready at almost anything that is coming
towards us. Example, if there is a problem, there must always be a
back-up plan. Example is when your project proposal is rejected, never
ever frail for that, but just prepare another project proposal and in
any case before that we must have prepared an emergency plan always so
we can be prepared at the best times o worst times. As an entrepreneur, I
see myself doing a game company, since games are one of the things that
I love most in my life and the one that made me love computers. I will
be an entrepreneur but I will also be a technopreneur in which I do
things through the technology provided everywhere. I also see myself as a
game designer because designing games is what I love, not in coding but
can be in graphic ones. I also see myself as an entrepreneur by being a
competitor to other big game companies because I have big dreams for
myself and for my company and employees. I also can see myself as
entrepreneur that wants my employees to grow big even though they left
my own company, as long as I can help people in my business, I am kind
of happy of what I am doing in my own business. As an entrepreneur, I
can see myself as the boss that knows where to take risk at the spur of a
moment. It is because, even if I am a small risk taker, I take risk on
where I can assure that either I gain or I learn something which can
benefit me and everyone else in the company and for the company I am
working on. Also, if I were an entrepreneur I must also learn on being
alone because not everyone from the start will stay beside you always,
they will either quit being beside you, be the opponent you have never
expected or be the persons that will let you down. As an entrepreneur, I
must be cautious of everything I must do. Because in any wrong move or
decision I make which is not avoidable in life and in companies’ life, I
must prepare the consequences in which I am ready to take on in my
life. Same with life, every decision I must make must be for the good of
the company and not only for myself. But sometimes we can’t avoid
making some bad decisions that we cannot control in our life, so we must
also prepare in things that we do not expect in our lives. As an
entrepreneur, I can also see myself as a person that can understand
others too. I am not like Steve Jobs that lets his employees work 90
hours a week with no sleep and I am not that kind of sadistic person. I
am the kind of person that lets people work but with maximum effort but
never ever make them hate me for what bad things that I will do to them
like making them work for more than the required hours per week, not
paying them for the overtime that they did, not treating them properly,
not let them having a vacation because all of this can result to bad
connections with employees and not far from the future it can be the
down fall of the company you are owning or you are working on. I can
also see myself as an entrepreneur to be competing with other big game
companies like the Blizzard Entertainment, Valve Company, Naughty Dog
Productions, CD Projekt Company, and EA Company as I progress in my
future. As an entrepreneur, I must also know how the limits of what I
can do so that I can know which are my strengths in things and my
weaknesses and all in all. Also, if I knew my limits, I would know which
areas I must improve myself for the betterment of the company and to
improve myself as the lead entrepreneur or the boss in my own company.
As an entrepreneur, I can see myself as I have high hopes and dreams
because for me, I must never dream small, I must always think big and
dream big so I can achieve what I want to achieve in the future. Also,
almost all entrepreneurs dream big but start slow, even though they
start slow, they work hard to achieve or make their dream come true like
what happened to Apple. Steve Jobs dreamed big and after years of hard
work and being wise and making good decisions for the company, later on
he achieved what he wants, to be the opponent of the International
Business Machine or the IBM which is at that time considered as the
final boss or the world’s strongest company ever created. As an
entrepreneur, I can see myself that I also must be wise at making
decisions, because making crucial decisions is part of being an
entrepreneur. Being good at decisions especially at crucial ones can
make one thing go good or bad. It can either be a success or a total
failure, so an entrepreneur must really think wisely and must also think
about the crucial decisions and the consequences he or the company can
receive in any decisions. He must think about the employees too. As an
entrepreneur, I can see myself as the one that can take things to the
highest level and taking care of small problems that can potentially be a
big problem in the future we can directly meet. As an entrepreneur, I
can see myself as a person that always takes the responsibilities if it
is meant to be taken by me. I must hold responsible for every decision I
make either for the company, for the employees or for the owner of the
company. As an entrepreneur, I can see myself as treating the employees
rightfully and not like a machine. Like what happened to Steve Jobs,
when he treated them like machines, he let them work for 90 hours a week
and soon in the future, the employees were kind of mad at him and kind
of turned against him like how he hired the new Chief Executive Officer
and after 3 months of his thirty eight birthday he rusticated Steve Jobs
from his job. As an entrepreneur, I can also see myself as a person
that can compete with big companies but never will underestimate small
companies because sometimes the small ones can even be a big threat or
potential threat to company’s future even though they are still young. I
must outsmart them as an entrepreneur and anything else.
3. For
me, I would kind of take Steve Jobs path because what he did was kind
of a good one but he treated everyone in his way like a machine and that
is where he failed in his journey while he is still an entrepreneur or a
technopreneur. In some ways I want to take the path of Steve Jobs when
he always screamed at Steve Wozniak for agreeing on an interview in
company which he said that the company is interested in their computer
but Steve Jobs won’t let him because he wants to have his own company
and he does not want to work for others. What I say is that there are
some paths I would take like what Steve Jobs took and there are also
some paths where I will not take what Steve Jobs took. Some paths that
he took were good but some their will not benefit me or the company or
it will not be able to help me and my company at all. For me, I would
also take the path of Steve Jobs where he invested more on his time in
investing and doing the hardware he used to sell or the first computer
that he and Steve Wozniak created. I would take that path because in
that path lies innovation. In their time, computers are very rare in the
machine industry and what they created was not to make people be
comfortable and their lives but they did that to earn more profit in
their own terms. And in that moment, they thought of an innovation in
which all machines are like combines into 1 machine. Like the
calculator, calendar, coding and many more and whey they built that,
they called it the “first computer” and I can call that an innovation in
which they invented because in their time, their invention or the
“first computer” was like made from everything with various features.
What I meant is that, all machines like calculator, clock, word
processing, spreadsheet and many more were combined to a “simple”
machine which were invented and developed by Steve Jobs and Steve
Wozniak from a machine they ordered and were given by the Altair.
Because of this “simple” innovation they made, it made Steve Jobs and
Steve Wozniak become successful in what they want to excel. In life,
there would always be paths that one must take to become successful and
one must not take so that they will not fail in their life. That is why I
want to take some of the path that Steve Jobs took and I also want to
get rid of some path that Steve Jobs took that will not make me a
successful person in the future and will not let my company be a
successful one in the future. In life, we should take some paths that
were also taken by others like what Bill Gates did, he does not know
that he had also taken Steve Jobs’ path but the way he handled it was
not being an ass to everyone or every person he meets in his path,
instead he treats them with respect but he gives a good fight. Not like
what Steve Jobs did that he just messed everyone and bump everyone
without respect in his way. What I meant was that the way he treated his
employees just like a machine is not what Bill Gates did to be
successful in the future. Also, what I want to take in Steve Jobs’ path
was the time he had big confidence in his invention. I like the way he
presented it to others and the way he presented it so he can loan at the
bank and the money he loaned, he made it to other prototypes of the
machine they built with Steve Wozniak. After being the most famous
invention in a convention in California, he became outright successful
that he built a company for his inventions. In the movie, he “stole” the
mouse and the user interface which were made by a small company
somewhere in the United States of America which was rejected by the
Xerox Company which they called the mouse a ridiculous thing. But what
Steve Jobs did was that he “stole” the mouse and user interface idea
which led him to create the Apple Lisa which like first computer that
had user interface and a mouse. I do not want to take the path that
Steve Jobs stole the concept of an idea, it is because, other people
worked for it and you will just buy it? Where is the justice in that
situation for the one who invented it? Unless, the inventor can also
benefit from it then, I would hesitate to think to take the path Steve
Jobs took. Also, I want to take the path Steve Jobs took in which he
invented the Apple Lisa. Apple Lisa is named after the first daughter of
Steve Jobs which he left to his ex-girlfriend named Arlene in which he
left when he knew that she was pregnant and the father is him. I also do
not want to take that path that Steve Jobs took because it was an
irresponsible one for me. Maybe he thought that having a family may be a
hindrance to his success but for me it is not and that is why I do not
want to take a path in which Steve Jobs took that he left his family for
the sake of the company because he thought that it was a hindrance for
him. And that is why I want to take some paths that Steve Jobs took but I
also do not want to take some of the paths he took because it is not
beneficial for me and it is against myself to do some of his actions
that he once did. There was also a situation in which Steve Jobs also
did a foolish move in which he asked a new applicant if he was a virgin,
and he asks too many ridiculous questions that is not part or does not
need to be an employee in Apple Company and he immediately told him that
he is not suited for this company and he tells him that he is more in
with the International Business Machine, what he thinks his enemy, to be
more suited in that place than being in the Apple Company. I also do
not want to take that path of Steve Jobs because it is him being a
foolish guy to his employees which I think is a wrong move because as an
entrepreneur, they must also value his or her employees too. Not only
just the income and clients must think about when it comes to business,
he or she must also think about the employees before the clients and the
customers because without the employees of his or her company, the
company would not even exist at the first place. I will not take that
path where Steve Jobs took that path because it I s harmful and toxic
for my own company for me to be doing this kind of act. And it is also
because if I treated my employees the way Steve Jobs treated his, there
could be something that will happen in the future which the employees
would backbite the hand that fed them because they have been treated
badly by the employer. Like what happened to Steve Jobs, after he
promoted Bill Sculley to be a Chief Executive Officer, after how many
year Bill felt the way he was treated by Steve Jobs and also he felt the
way the employees of his were treated by Steve Jobs. I think that for
Bill Sculley, it is like Steve Jobs were treating his employees like a
robot that made them work for 90 hours a week even though the employees
do not like it and they must do it too because each of them had no
choice. One other path that I do not want to take that Steve Jobs took
was the way he divided his company. Because of the division, Steve Jobs
thought that it would make his company be more efficient, successful,
and more functional than before. But the end result was the opposite,
many of his colleagues like Steve Wozniak, who was with him from the
start of Apple Company until its rise, left his side. Steve Wozniak left
because he can’t stand what Steve Jobs is doing to his own company
anymore. He can’t stand the way Steve Jobs divided the company to two,
the Macintosh and the rest of the Apple team, because for him it would
make the company fall apart slowly and he does not want that and he also
left because he thinks that Steve Jobs has changed his personality and
attitude and he does not want it. That is why I also want to take some
of the path that Steve Jobs took and I also do not want to take some of
the bad paths of what Steve Jobs took too.

3 Idiots
Assuming I watched the 3
idiots, the first time Farhan was shown was when he was going somewhere
around the world and suddenly Chatur, the one that is called Silencer
because of being noisy when studying and able to fart slowly but deadly,
called him because Chatur said that he already knew where Ranchodas
Shamaldas Chanchad is at. After that, Farhan suddenly pretended to be
sick because the airplane already went off the ground and that means
that he can’t let the plane land unless there was an emergency incident
that happened. So what Farhan did was he pretended himself to be sick
and after that the plane went for emergency landing and what he did
after bringing him to the airport was that he did stretch to show that
he was okay. For me, Farhan was the good friend that is like loyal to
Rancho. After that scene, Farhan called Raju Rastogi because they were
considered as the 3 idiots when they were an engineering student at
Imperial College of Engineering. He went to Raju, he had no pants that
time and that seemed kind of a funny for me. I would want to reflect on
Farhan Qureshi’s Life. For me, his life was quite a strange and a
realistic one because he was pressured being something that he doesn’t
want to be. In the movie 3 idiots, he was being pressured as an Engineer
because his parents decide his fate when he was born. Even though he
doesn’t want to, he was forced to go to school at Imperial College of
Engineering and there he would go to school as an engineer even though
he doesn’t want to be one. He does want to become a nature photographer
in which his parents especially his father doesn’t want him to be. He
was provided almost everything he needs, like the one where his father
bought a laptop for him because he thought it was useful for his job as
something that he doesn’t want to be. It was engineering that he doesn’t
want to be. When he went to the Imperial College of Engineering, he met
Ranchodas 'Rancho' Shamaldas Chanchad. Ranchodas Shamaladas Chanchad
also known as Rancho was first seen by Farhan at their first night at
their college when Rancho did not do the ritual that were required for
them to do. But what Rancho did was that he didn’t follow what the
seniors said and he electrocuted one of the senior leaders in there and
he was Farhan’s roommate at the same time. One of the things I noticed
about Farhan was that, he always listens to Rancho’s advices and he
never stay away from him even though their director thinks that Rancho
is a bad influence to them and even though he was commanded from his
parents that he must stay away from him. He was a passionate at being a
photographer in which the parents think was just a silly hobby but for
him it was his ultimate passion. For me, Farhan was quite a pity because
like most of people I knew, he was being forced by his parents to take
on something that he doesn’t want to be.
Like
someone I knew, he want to be an architect but what he took during
college was Bachelor of Science in Information Technology. When I asked
him why, he said because it was his parents’ decision and also because
the one who funds him for his college was his parents so he had no
choice but to follow the decision of his parents to so he can satisfy
his parents’ happiness and lives. What I can say in that decision was
that he must convince his parents that he wants to go to that course
instead of the course his parents wants him to be because the one who
would regret in his or her endlife would only be him or herself because
he or she did not do what he or she wants to be in his or her life.
Also, even though his or her parents doesn’t want what their children
decided what he or she wants to be, the parents only wants his or her
child to be happy in life because even though he or she satisfied what
the parents want him or her to be, he or she would never satisfy him or
herself because he did something that he doesn’t want to do. Throughout
the story, he was the type of character in which always goes with the
flow of what his friend Rancho did. He was Ranchos’ partner in crime in
almost what he all did. When he and Rancho and Raju went drinking, he
promised that he would confront his parents that he doesn’t want to
become what they want him to be and convinces his parents that he wants
to be a photographer a job that he wants to do for as long as Rancho
confessed to Pia, his lover, that he loves her. At the end, he did what
he must do and that is to convince his parents that he wants to be a
photographer and not an engineer. I can understand the pain
for Farhan because I kind of experience what his parents has done to
him. I was being chosen if I will go to a prestigious university near
Jacinto or the university with good standards in Obrero but what I
really want was neither of the two but still I am thankful for it. I
think that what the parents of Farhan think is that Engineering was the
best job for him because they saw the world where engineers can make
them become famous and rich and everything that you ever wish for. He
was provided almost everything he needs, like the one where his father
bought a laptop for him because he thought it was useful for his job as
something that he doesn’t want to be. It was engineering that he doesn’t
want to be. However, what they did not see is that the offspring or the
son was not even happy for what the parents chose for him or her. I
understand that parents only want the best for their child but what
about their own happiness? So when the parents die happily because the
offspring chose the future they have chosen for him, will the offspring
be happy in his or her death bed? The answer is the offspring would not
be happy unless the path of the child that the parents chose was
beneficial or also the path that the child favors.
Example,
when the offspring is born, the parents said that he or she must be an
engineer when he or she grows up, but later years he realized he wants
to be an artist, and the parents thought that being an artist does not
make you earn enough money for the living, so the offspring chose the
engineering path and he fulfills the wishes of his parents until they
die but did they ever ask the child of what path he or she wants his or
her life? Did they ever think about the happiness? And in this
situation, the child will likely be in sorrow and will blame himself for
all the bad decisions he made in his life. In another example, when the
offspring was born, the parents said that be in the path that you
wanted to be, and when he or she was growing up he or she was never
pressured in a path and at the right age, he or she chose the path and
the parents just supported him or her. In the two situations I have
given, who do you think would be happier in their death bed? The first
one which is forced to take the path that is decided by his or her
parents but never has the happiness to do it, or the second in which he
or she took advantage of the free will and which is also supported by
his or her parents. And yes, what you think is right, the person in the
second situation would be more happier in his or her death bed than the
first one because what I think in the first one is that he or she is
just following what the superiors say, just like in 3 idiots, all the
students only follow what the professors say and never intend to think
of new ideas, while in the second situation, he or she chose his or her
path to his or her happiness, then I can say that what the person did in
the second situation is making his or her life more happy the way he or
she is. What happened in the first situation is also what happened to
Farhan Qureshi. Farhan Qureshi was being raise into this world with the
thinking that he must make his parents happy so I would be what they
wanted to be but in his heart he really wants to be a photographer and
not an engineer like his parents wants him to be.
So
when he went to the Imperial College of Engineering, and befriend
Ranchodas Shamaldas Chanchad, he and the other two were being
reprimanded by the Virus or the director because they were hard headed
and their grade was failing. He also said that “It is sad when you knew
that your friend failed. But it is more depressing when your friend top
and you do not.” It is kind of true because, I had a best friend in high
school and in college which also I worried too. When they were
reprimanded by Virus and wrote a letter for both Farhan and Raju, they
went first to Farhan’s house and Rancho discovered there that he really
wants to be a nature photographer and he idolizes one foreign
photographer and he wants to be an apprentice for this guy. Farhan is an
example of being just a follower in the society because of his
superiors also known as his parents. He was provided almost everything
he needs, like the one where his father bought a laptop for him because
he thought it was useful for his job as something that he doesn’t want
to be. It was engineering that he doesn’t want to be. Because
of this, sometime children tend to do suicide just like another
character in the movie named Joy Lobo. He is an almost graduating
student and because of just a single project he could not finish but
towards the end, Rancho finished but in the wrong time because it was
too late. Joy Lobo committed suicide because I think that he can’t take
anymore the pressure he is currently keeping in himself. We all know
that being pressured is normal in college and in life but too much
pressure is a no no because it can add damages to our wounds that we
have. I mean, being too much pressured is bad because not only your
brain would be affected but also, the work that you are currently doing
would be affected too. Also, we human do not deserved to be pressured
too much. Life is a free yet complicated one but we must not pressure
ourselves on what we are going to do, what we must do and what we are
going to do. We must enjoy life, there would be pressure but it is
always normal in life. It will never ever be gone and we must be ready
for it whenever it comes so college is there to prepare us for it but
never too much on being pressured. Also, Farhan is a good example
because he confronted his parents about his dreams. Towards at the end
of the movie, Rancho always buy books that he always publishes and he
discovered that because of the maintenance or the janitor guy named
Millimeter, that is now called Centimeter.
Assuming
I watched the “3 idiots” movie, I also want to reflect on Ranchodas
Smaldas Chanchad’s life also known as Rancho. The first time he appeared
in the movie was when Farhan Qureshi and Raju Rastogi were in kind of
like an initiation in a fraternity held by the higher years in their
university. What they did was they let them remove their pants and do
some weird tricks or acts like the James Bond which Chatur did and more
and suddenly, Rancho came in with his water jug. The seniors told him
that he must also do what the others want to do (like removing pants and
do any weird thing). After that, Rancho did not follow their orders so
what the seniors did is that they pour water in Rancho’s pants so they
can provoke him and force him to remove it but what Rancho did was that
he rushed to his room, which is also the room of Farhan and Raju, and
planned something. When he went to his room, the seniors provoked and
the leader threatened to pee in his door, so what Rancho did is that
when the leader had a countdown, he made a device in which could
electrocute someone in a minimum amount when wet so, when the leader
peed on it he was directly electrocuted. After that, the friendship of
the 3 progressed. At one situation, when he was being called because of
smiling in the class, he described the word “Machines” in the most
simple form I have ever heard and it was “Anything that simplifies work
is a machine.” and so on and so forth but what the professor did was
that he rejected it and called Chatur and what Chatur answered was that
“Machines are any combinations of bodies so connected that their
relative motions are constrained and by which means, force and motion
may be transmitted and modified as a screw and its nut, or a lever
arranged to turn about a fulcrum or a pulley about its pivot etc.
especially a construction, more or less complex consisting of a
combination of moving parts, or simple mechanical as wheels, levers,
cams etc.” and then he accepted it but Rancho insisted because there
were so many definitions and it is too long. For me, a short and more
meaningful definition was better than a long and too many worded
sentence because in real life, they just do it simply and not complex.
What I mean is that in life, all a human wants is becoming simple and
not making it complicated or complex. Next is that in one situation when
Virus said that he will give the special ballpoint pen he has to the
most excellent student he asked that why don’t astronauts use a pencil
because it is cheaper and much easier to erase than a ballpoint pen.
After that, he advised Millimeter because he wants to go to school and
he does not have the money, so what Rancho did was that he gave him
money and told him that he just needs to buy a uniform and join in
because he would not be notice too because of the crowded students in
the school. What I think about that is that it is kind of a brilliant
idea when you want to go to school but you do not have the money to
spend for education. The next is that there was once a student named Joy
Lobo whose project is always rejected by the Director so after Joy Lobo
threw his project, the miniature helicopter, he saw it and he said it
was a great innovation so what he did is he fixed and modified the
device to make it more functional and more useful than the previous one,
he had sleepless nights and he always tested it so it would be
functional in any case. After he fixed, modified and do whatever it
takes to finish and polish the device, he was too late because he was
the first to discover and knew that Joy Lobo committed suicide because
of the pressure he received after being rejected and knowing that he
cannot graduate that year. When most of the one that knew Joy Lobo went
to the funeral, he told Virus that what happened was a murder and not
suicide and he said the suspect should be the pressure that killed him.
So after that day, Virus talked to Rancho and he reprimanded him because
of what Rancho said and he let him lecture the class because Virus
thinks that Rancho is better than the highly qualified teachers in the
university. When he taught them, he let them search the definition of
“Farhanitrate” and “Prerajulization” for 30 seconds so the students
searched and searched and searched for the meaning but even after 30
seconds, he said that when they searched for the meaning, did they get
excited for learning something new? Did they become even curious for
those words? What increased in their mind was not intelligence but the
pressure was the one increasing in your mind just like what happened to
Joy Lobo. He said that instead of learning, the students went and
involve themselves in a frantic race. He also said that what is the use
of these if it does not increase your knowledge but only your pressure
in your mind? I think he has a point what he said because most students
in the other countries have a high suicide rate because of the pressure
they received. I think that I even reached a time when Philippines also
had a high suicide rate and most of them were students and the reason of
why they commit suicide is because of the pressure of school for them.
Like what happened to Joy Lobo. Rancho also said that this is college
and not a pressure cooker so what he implied in this statement is that
this is school a place for learning, enjoying and innovating some ideas,
and this is not a place to only gain pressure and not learning
something new. He also cite an example in which the lion learns to sit
on a chair in fear of a whip and we call the lion only well trained and
not well educated.
After that, Virus wrote a
letter to Farhan and Raju’s parents and told them that Rancho is a bad
influence to the two of them. So first, they went to Farhan’s house and
was immediately reprimanded by the father of Farhan because he does not
want Farhan’s studies to be hindered by some friends of his. But when
they went to Farhan’s house Rancho immediately noticed the pictures that
are posted in Farhan’s room which are the animals of nature and he
noticed that those are good but the father of Farhan said that it was an
old hobby of his but the truth is that Farhan really wants to be a
nature photographer but his parents insisted that he must be an engineer
for his sake but still the parents chose him to be an engineer because
they thought that this would make him earn good money and sustain his
future needs. After that, they went to Raju Rastogi’s house where they
went to a year 1950’s house and they met the father of Raju which is
paralyzed and also a former postmaster, a sick mother and a sister who
cannot marry because of the dowry needed for the marriage. Raju’s mother
always complains about their life where all the items in the market are
really expensive like the cauliflower and many more especially the
cottage cheese which is really expensive for them. After that since they
cannot eat there because of how disgusting they prepare their food,
they went to a random occasion where Rancho first met Pia, which is the
daughter of Virus, their director, and the event was the wedding of one
of Virus’ daughter which is also the older sister of Pia. When they went
there, Rancho showed how foolish or greedy Pia’s fiancé is. He showed
it to her by pouring the sauce in the shoes of the fiancé and he
predicted that the fiancé will shout the price of the shoes that were
poured by the sauce and that makes him a fool. After that, they were
caught by the director and then reprimanded again the next day so what
Virus did was that he assigned Raju and Farhan to the room where Chatur
is and only Raju followed what Virus said so after that. He kind of
blame himself for what happened so Farhan and Rancho devised a plan to
tell Raju that what he currently doing is not good so they sabotaged the
upcoming speech of Chatur to tell the message to Raju that always
studying and not understanding is really a bad idea when you grow up
because that is the worst part of life. And since Chatur does not
understand Hindi because he is from Uganda, and he had his speech
checked by the librarian and after paraphrasing all of that, Rancho and
Farhan kind of messed up his speech so that they can send a message to
Farhan that studying without understanding is bad for your mind. After
that, the director was so mad that he banged Chatur’s head on the
microphone and Chatur got mad at Rancho and had a case where they would
meet again after 10 years to see who is more successful between the two
of them. For me, sending a message to a friend about the danger is good
but what they did was kind of bad because it mocks the person who is
uninvolved in the fights that they have. After that scene, he met with
Pia once again who was with her fiancé buying a new watch. Pia saw him
when he was buying parts for the machine that Virus is requiring him to
make. So, when they met he asked if she was still with the foolish
fiancé whom always mentions the price of a product so what Rancho said
is that he values the money more than her and Pia got mad so Rancho said
he will prove to her that is true so what he did was hide the watch and
told her fiancé that the watch was lost. So what happened was the
prediction of Rancho which he will always find the thing more than the
person. After that, someone called Rancho in which they said that the
condition of Raju’s father who was sick is more painful than it was so
he took Pia’s scooter and brought her to the house of Raju. After that,
when they went to his house, they said that he needs to be brought to a
hospital but the ambulance will take 2 hours to get to their house so
what they did was bring him to the hospital through the scooter and it
was kind of funny but it was an emergency this was in an urgent case.
After that, Raju went to the hospital and got mad at Rancho because he
brought his father through the scooter and not through an ambulance but
when the doctor spoke that he might had not survived if they waited for
the ambulance and he said it was good that they brought him to the
hospital through the scooter rather than waiting for an ambulance
because if not, Raju’s father could have already died so Raju was so
thankful for it. For me, Rancho is a great friend because he treats his
friends not only friends but a part of his own family like his real
family also the family of his friends, he treated them as a family of
his that is why I could say that Ranchodas Shamaldas Chanchad is a great
friend but towards the movie his real name is Phunsukh Wangdu which is
the person that Chatur is finding throughout the series.
Next
is Raju Rastogi who was my favorite character among three because
although he faced too many challenges in the movie, he still accepted it
and he accomplished his dream in where he will become an engineer and
will graduate from Imperial College of Engineering. Assuming I watched
the 3 idiots, Raju Rastogi first appeared in the movie when he was
called by Farhan that Chatur found Ranchodas Shamaldas Chanchad which is
being searched by them for how many years after they graduated. It is
because Rancho suddenly disappeared after graduation. Raju grew in a low
income family. His father is a former postmaster but now he suffers
from stroke because he is paralyzed. His mother is a housewife and a
sick one while his sister cannot marry because of the dowry needed by
the man that she wants to marry and it is a car. Rancho and Farhan
described their house as a 1950 theme and they see it as a white and
black movie like the one in which they did in the movie. How he met
Rancho was the same in the case of Farhan in which were in kind of like
an initiation in a fraternity held by the higher years in their
university. What they did was they let them remove their pants and do
some weird tricks or acts like the James Bond which Chatur did and more
and suddenly, Rancho came in with his water jug. At first, he did not
quite like Rancho because it was lie he was different from the society
he lives on. So in a situation, Raju is the person in which he believed
that staying with Chatur was better for him at studying than Rancho
because for him Rancho is a bad influence in his studies. Raju also
believes in gods and always offer and praise them because he thinks that
the gods will give him the knowledge and enlightenment to pass his
exams and pass his course as an engineer in Imperial College of
Engineering.
So he did this everyday but
sadly, he always ends up being always at the last, same with Farhan. One
of the things that I can reflect towards his story is that he is
willing to finish study and get a decent job so he can help his family
throughout their lives he is like the breadwinner in his family. I, on
the other hand, am not a breadwinner of the family but I want to finish
my college so that I can help my family in financial needs and also I
can help myself. I would want to repay all the debts I have to my own
family who took care of me until I grow old, that is why I am still
going to school and doing my best to pass all the subjects that I need
to pass. After that situation, there was a situation in which he was
being sent a message by Rancho and Farhan by changing the speech of
Chatur teaching him that mindless cramming will result on what just
happened to him. Chatur embarrassed Virus and the Minister of Education.
Still, Raju did not listen to Rancho and Farhan and still insisted to
stay with Chatur even though he was forced to stay with someone who
studies while farting and studies noisily. Chatur also do dirty tactics
in which he sends pornographic magazines in to other students’ rooms so
he could outdo them and they will not study but will just read the
pornographic magazines Chatur gave to them. After that, when he knew
that his father was in the hospital, he rushed and reprimanded Rancho
because they sent his father through the scooter that they have and they
did not waited for an ambulance. But after the doctor said that a
little bit of delay and it would not end well, he meant that if they
waited for the ambulance and did not went to hospital with a scooter
then the father of Raju would surely die. After he learned that, he
apologized to Rancho because what he thought was wrong and what Rancho
did was right. He went crying and also Rancho cried and hugged him. For
me, Rancho was a great friend for that situation. After that, they went
late for exams so what Rancho, Farhan and Raju did is that after they
went to submit their test papers to the teacher, they asked him if he
knew their names and their ID number, but the teacher said he did not so
what they did was they messed up the table and ran immediately. After
that scene, they went to look if there exams scores did well. When they
looked, they placed or ranked at the last place. Then, they went looking
for Rancho’s score but did not found it in the part where they are so
they became sad. Farhan sat down but Raju still went to look for
Rancho’s name but his name was place at the first place and they said
that “Your friend fails, you feel bad. Your friend tops, you feel
worse.” That was kind of a relating one because I had a friend before at
elementary where he always tops at the top 10 of the class and I always
placed at the middle rank so yea I feel kind of bad for them and
another situation is that when in high school I had a friend also that
always placed or rank at the bottom and always fails and I really feel
bad for what happened but not in the case where in elementary where my
friend always tops the class. I kind of feel bad but yeah we must learn
our mistakes and we must not repeat them for our sake of it.
When
they were in the class pictorial, Raju and Farhan are positioned at the
edge of the photo in which Rancho mad a proposal that if they both get a
job after they graduate from the school then the director will shave
his beard for them. After that scene, in the future in which they
already found Ranchodas Shamaldas Chanchad’s house, he and Farhan found
that Rancho’s real name is not Rancho so they investigated and found
that they just used the real Rancho to just get a degree in Engineering
in Imperial College of Engineering. Then after that, in the past, he and
Farhan were being shamed by Virus because all throughout their school,
they were always at the last place or rank during exams, and for the
school it is quite shameful because the school, Imperial College of
Engineering, is a competitive type of school. It means that the student
must always compete to the top because it will be really bad if they
fell down and become last in their perspective. I also kind of
experience in an environment where the firsts always matters. I mean the
top student in the class matters and the last placers do not. It was
when I was still in high school where firsts always mattered wherever
you are. It does not matter if you are second, third or more as long as
you are he first, then all of it will be okay.
After
that scene, the three of them, Raju, Farhan and Rancho drank alcoholic
beverages with them. When they are drunk enough, Rancho first said that
Farhan must not continue to be an engineer but he must be a wildlife
photographer just like what he wanted to be if not for his parents. And
also, Rancho said that he must not believe in such superstitious or
religious aspects so that he can land a job and so he will not just
depend on it but he will also have a confidence in himself almost he
said that Raju is afraid of the future future and he does not risk
anything that is why he thinks that he must not depend on his beliefs
and his religion because in the end religion will never ever save you.
Then, Raju said that he must first confess his love for Pia before they
would do that. So the condition is, Rancho must confess first to Pia and
what Farhan will do is that he will tell parents that he really wants
to be a wildlife photographer rather than being an engineer and for
Raju, to remove his rings when doing his job interview in the campus. So
what happened is that, the three of them, Raju, Rancho and Farhan, went
to Pia’s house also known as Virus’ house and they went their drunk.
What Farhan did is that he removed some of the letters in Virus
nameplate in their gate while Raju and Rancho went up to what they think
is Pia’s room and while Rancho confessed to Pia that he loves her, he
did not realize that the one he is talking to is her sister. While the
sister revealed herself, Raju went down with Farhan in the ground floor,
and what they did was that both of them peed and shouted some inaudible
words that even I do not know. And because of that, Virus woke up and
when they attempted to go out, he only recognized one face which
belonged to Raju and after they that, they went to a classroom and slept
their until the next morning. The next morning, they were up but Raju
was being called by Virus because Virus went to the classroom and wants
to find Raju because of what he did. Then, he said that he wants Raju
Rastogi by his office later. So when Raju went Virus’ office he asked if
what it is. Virus replied that if he does know how to use a laptop and
type in a word processing software, then he said yes. So Raju typed what
will the director said and he said that “Dear Sir, it is my painful
duty to inform you that your son, Raju Rastogi is rusticated form
Imperial College of Engineering.” It was kind of harsh and Raju was
already crying for it so, what the director next said is kind of hard
for me and he said that replace your name with Ranchodas Shamaladas
Chanchad, and it will all be alright. After that, he was given 7 and a
half minutes to decide which name will be written in the letter, either
Raju Rastogi, his name, or his best friend’s name, Ranchodas Shamaldas
Chanchad. For me, if I were in his position it would also be hard for me
to decide whether to put my name or my best friend’s name. But in this
movie, what Raju Rastogi did was way worse than the conditions given. He
suddenly jumped from the Director’s office to the ground. It was kind
of unexpected for him to do it because I thought he was okay but I only
thought that it was. After that, he was sent to the hospital and
suffered a sickness that causes the body to paralyze in shock but making
his mind alert so it was never an option too to give up Raju’s life, so
what they did was to never cry in front of Raju so it will not let his
condition go to worse. Rancho and Farhan did almost anything to say to
just make him happy by telling happy things like, his rustication is
suspended, and his mother received a new dress named something and more.
But still nothing happened, so after that Rancho said that Farhan will
marry his sister jokingly at least to help Raju feel better and he
repeated it and repeat until he became better and suddenly, it really
made him get well. So after that, they did what they promise in where
Farhan must talk to his parents about the future of becoming a
photographer and not an engineer, it went well and it was a dramatic one
while Raju succeeded in getting a job without depending on others.
