WORKSHEET 5
PRACTICE/APPLICATION/SYNTHESIS:
Tangible products are characterized not only by physical items that can be
1.Tangible seen, felt, heard, and, in some cases, tasted, but also by their designs, logos,
and branding. Some common tangible products are Coke, computers, cars,
mobile phones, and appliances.

TIME TO REFLECT:
I learned that not all products will not gonna stay in the market forever. It has a cycle and it is a cycle.
The product sometimes on top, where everyone is buying it, or down where it is almost forgotten. But
those that on the downside has a chance to improve themselves and be on top again. Just like In life,
just because we are on top now, it does not mean that we will stay there all the time. The time will
come that we possibly go down and if we won’t do everything we can to do our best, to improve
ourselves, we won’t reclaim the top position again. Not to offend anyone, but let’s not make the same
mistake as Nokia. Let’s be innovative and always try something new. Don’t be contented but not to the
point where we are greedy of fame, we are greedy of power. Don’t stay in your comfort zone. Try to go
out and explore new things and for sure it will be worth it.
