Reflection:
I had relative ease with this assignment, the reason being is that these are problems I have frequently come across throughout my life. However, I did have some trouble coming up with the reasons for why some bugs exist but it made me come to a realization. While working on this, I have realized that as an entrepreneur, in order to operate a business efficiently, I must be able to get to the root of the problems I face. There are many bugs an entrepreneur can encounter such as having someone working for you who isn't producing the results you expected. But it is beneficial to try to ask yourself why that problem exists so that you can take the proper steps to either learning to live with the bug or finding a way to eliminate it from your life. Essentially, every little detail must be analyzed and dealt with otherwise the firm could be operating inefficiently and when the firm is inefficient potential profits could be lost. Creating the bug list made me dig into my memories and my feelings to try and think of the many things that bother me in life. I enjoyed working on this because it made me have to analyze my bugs and by questioning why the bug exists I was able to make these bothers more tolerable.

ReplyDeleteHi Felipe! After reading your Bug List, I was impressed and able to find many bugs I agree with myself. The only aspect you could improve upon would be to give more detail in your description of the bug, but overall your list is sufficient and specific. I found that my reflection was similar to yours in which I did not have too much of a struggle with the assignment, and it helped me see the bigger picture of getting to the root of the problems I face if I want to make a change. You make a very good point that hopefully everyone sees after the completion of the bug list where we can easily fix most of the bugs we face in our life with a little time and effort.
ReplyDeleteHey Felipe, I really enjoyed reading your bug list. After comparing it to my own, I made a ton of connections and also read a few of yours where I can't believe that I couldn't think of that myself. Unlike your reflection, I actually struggled to come up with 20 things that bugged me. I admire your ability to reflect on common issues that people tend to face in their day-to-day lives. My favorite bug that you listed is where there are only 2 registers open at Walmart.
