3. Explain the quote/saying of Steve Jobs, “People with passion can change the world for the better” in relation

4. Enumerate at least five (5) Entrepreneurial qualities.
 1. entrepreneurs are both born and made. The combination of nature and nurture is also not rare. Each day a new startup
is launched, a new innovative idea is conceptualized and success of some kind is had. These newly successful
entrepreneurs were born and nurtured toward their achievements. Their application of traits, passion, tenaciousness and
yearning for knowledge is at the core of their success — a very special place where nature meets nurture.
To some extent, there is truth in this statement that an entrepreneur is born. There are two types of entrepreneurs born.
First is the one who is born into a family that already owns a business. The second type of entrepreneur is the one who
has no resources and no knowledge when it comes to investment, but he or she is full of ideas.
2.
3. Passion is everything. Following your passion is the secret to overcoming the setbacks all entrepreneurs face and it
builds resistance against the inevitable naysayers who will question your vision. It’s also an essential ingredient in
successful communication. If you’re not passionate about your ideas, nobody else will be.
Successful entrepreneurs are abundantly passionate -- but not necessarily about the product. They’re passionate about
their missions. They’re passionate about what their products or services mean to the lives of their customers. They’re
passionate about changing the world or disrupting an established category.

5. 1. Resolute motivation and passion
The first and foremost quality of a successful entrepreneur is passion. 
No one can achieve anything if they do not have the passion for reaching that goal. As a result of this absolute passion,
motivation starts to create in an entrepreneur’s mind as he takes on new tasks and learns new things in order to reach that
goal.
Motivation keeps blood running, helping an entrepreneur to keep hope and overcome obstacles as he or she advances
towards the goal. This is why a successful entrepreneur is passionate and motivated in a whole new demeanor.

2. Self-discipline
This is one of the most essential characteristics of a successful entrepreneur.
If an entrepreneur is able to accomplish essential tasks (whether he is feeling up to it or not), then he will be able to
achieve higher success.
Self-discipline basically means to master the inner self and inner emotions to generate a sense of responsibility of getting
the job done, which fosters self-direction.
3. Risk-taking ability
Entrepreneurship is all about taking risks. Entrepreneurs have the ability to take greater risks to achieve greater success,
but not all risk-takers are successful entrepreneurs.
A successful entrepreneur knows when to take risks and which risks will be beneficial or harmful to the company or
himself.
All entrepreneurs plan before taking risks and make a plan B (in case of any loss of mishap) and establish a suitable
ground for the results of the risks.

4. Creative thinking
A successful entrepreneur is a creative thinker with loads of ideas constantly flowing through her mind. This drastic
ability to think of a wide range of new ideas helps an entrepreneur to initiate different types of business in a unique,
creative way.

5. Persistence
Persistence is the most basic and essential quality of a successful entrepreneur because even good entrepreneurs
experience failures and hurdles. But with persistence, you’re able to pick yourself back up and keep moving towards your
goals.
These five qualities will help you become the successful entrepreneur you aim to be. Look for these qualities in yourself,
and continue to progress each day for the benefit of yourself and your company.

1. Self-Discipline
The first trait that all successful entrepreneurs must possess is self-discipline. Self-discipline is the single most important
quality for success in life and business. If you can discipline yourself to do what you should do, whether you feel like it or
not, your success is virtually guaranteed. Self-discipline requires self-mastery, self-control, self-responsibility, and self-
direction.
The difference between successful entrepreneurs and failures is that successful entrepreneurs make a habit of doing the
things that failures don’t like to do.
What are those things?
The things that failures don’t like to do are the same things that successful people don’t like to do. But, successful
entrepreneurs do them anyways because they realize that this is the price they must pay for the success they desire.
2. Integrity
The second trait that all successful entrepreneurs must possess is integrity.
Perhaps the most valued and respected quality you can develop is a reputation for absolute integrity. Be perfectly honest
in everything you do and in every transaction and activity. Never compromise your integrity. Remember that your word is
your bond and your honor is everything when it comes to your business. All successful business is based on trust.
Your success in becoming an entrepreneur will be determined solely by the number of people who trust you, are willing
to work for you, give you credit, lend you money, buy your products and services, and help you during difficult times.
Your character is the most important asset that you develop in your entire life, and your character is based on the amount
of integrity you practice.
3. Persistence
The third trait that all successful entrepreneurs must possess is persistence. Persistence is the iron quality of character.
Persistence is to the character of man as carbon is to steel. It is an indispensable quality that goes hand in hand with all
great success in life.
Here is one of the great secrets to persistence and success: Program your subconscious mind for persistence well in
advance of the setbacks and disappointments that you are going to have on your upward quest toward success.
Resolve in advance that you will never give up, no matter what happens.  The courage to persist in the face of adversity
and disappointment is the one quality that, more than anything, will guarantee your success.
Your greatest asset can be your willingness to persevere longer than anyone else. In fact, your persistence is a true
measure of your belief in yourself and your ability to success.
4. A Clear Sense Of Direction
The fourth trait that all successful entrepreneurs must possess is a clear sense of direction.
Because of the turbulence and rapid change in today’s marketplace, most business owners have been reduced to operating
day-by-day, almost like firefighters.
They are totally preoccupied with short-term problems and the need to get short-term sales and profits. They intend to
spend more time thinking and planning for the future, but they don’t ever seem to get around to it.
This is not for successful business owners. You need to set clear targets for yourself and for every part of your business.
In fact, perhaps your most important responsibility to your people is to give them a clear sense of direction in their work.
5. Decisive And Action Oriented
The final trait that all successful entrepreneurs must possess is being decisive and action-oriented. They must think and
make decisions quickly. They discipline themselves to take action and to carry out the decisions they have made. They
move fast and they get quick feedback from their actions. If they find they have made a mistake, they quickly self-correct
and try something else.
