Winston Churchill once said, “success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” This is such a true statement. There are many roads that can lead you to success. Even if you fail once, twice, even three times, there will always be an alternative to reaching your goal. Through three people, different ideas of success are conveyed. Malcolm Gladwell, author of the Outliers and Blink.. Paul Tough, an editor of The New York Times and author of How Children…
Cultivating Development is an innovative contribution to the ethnography of development.. Mosse’s argument is thought-provoking and serves to provide a helpful bridge between both the popular expectation of development organizations to be comprised of charitable, purely altruistic workers and the critical, post-modern narrative of the wholly politically-driven aid monolith (most influentially driven by the works of Ferguson and Escobar). While Mosse illuminates a portion of development work…
Analysis Paul Beckmann- A Man Who Has Impacted the Lives of Many I came into this class not understanding the meaning of entrepreneurship. I thought it was just a simple way to make a business and make a quick buck in the long run. I wasn’t sure if it was the experience I was looking for and I wanted more than what my major offered me.

At the Crossroads of Failure and Success We often read of great overcoming adversity stories that people are happy and eager to share as an encouragement to those around us, but we often forget that there are many failure stories out there without the happy we turned things around ending. These stories get less attention because they don’t fit our view of how we WANT the world to be, and our nature is not to share our personally humiliating, humbling and failure moments. But I am going to…
Between success and failure lies a very thin line, so thin that companies become vulnerable in thinking that a failed opportunity equates to the downfall of their brand. Some companies may even assume a misstep in their strategic initiatives could be the death of their company. That distance between success and failure, while not very far apart, encompasses a grey area that includes the painstaking but valuable takeaways derived from failing to meet a desired or perfected outcome. The case study…
The system of a market, formed through the supply and demand of goods, can be divided amongst different types (types of what?), that can be classified based on the competition the supplier has for allocating his/her goods. Two commonly known divisions are the free market and the competitive market, as discussed in Cocktail Party Economics, written by Evelin Adomait and Richard Maranta.
