Learning Task 2: ESSAY: Answer the following questions?

1. What are characteristics that you can observe or see that are common to them?

2. Who among the entrepreneurs you mentioned that you admire most and

why?

3. In your own opinion, what do you need to possess to become a successful

entrepreneur?

ANSWER:

1. As I observed these famous businessmen, they have common characteristics that

make them successful. They have a sense of curiosity that allows them to continuously
seek new opportunities and explore different routes. They are persistent as they see
failure as opportunities to learn and grow.

2. Among the entrepreneurs I have mentioned, I admire Henry Sy the most because of his
inspirational story. After their small sari-sari store was destroyed in World War II, he
didn't give up, instead he tried many businesses until he built his own shoe business
named "Shoe Mart". His story is literally from rags to riches.

3. Personally, there are things that I need to possess to become a successful

entrepreneur. First things first, I should have the willingness to fail because it will always
be an opportunity to learn and grow until I become successful. Also, I should have the
vision to see a strategic plan. Lastly, I should have decisiveness, which means to
prioritize tasks and make decisions quickly.
