What's Your Secret Sauce?

1) Describe five ways in which you think you have human capital that is truly unique. What is it about you, exactly, that makes you different? Write this up in a detailed list.

I think that I have great communication skills, time management, a strong work ethic, always prepare for whatever comes, and down for anything. I personally think that everything that I mentioned I learned from playing sports. I always had to have all those to be successful in sports.

2) Interview the five people who know you the best. Ask them what they think makes you different -- remember, focus on your knowledge, skills, abilities, emotions -- in other words, your human capital. Try to stay away from discussing your other types of capital (such as who you know). Record each interview. In your post, please post each interview, as well as a two-three sentence summary of each interview, explaining what your key takeaways are. There is no time limit on these recordings. As long as you cover the information asked for above, that's all you need to do. (Audio recordings are fine. You'll need to use a platform like Soundcloud to host your files.)


  1. Interviewed my teammate: she said that I am very competitive.
  2. interviewed my roommate: she said that I have good time management, never late for anything. 
  3. interviewed my friend: she said that I have a strong personality, I never change no matter with who and where I am. 
  4. interviewed another teammate: she said that I am very competitive and always trying to help them. 
  5. interviewed another teammate: she said that I am great at communicating on and off the court. 


3) Reflect on the differences. How do you see yourself, and how do others see you? Are there differences in how you assess yourself compared to others? What do you think causes these differences? Do you think your interviewees are correct about you? Finally, going back to your list from part 1, would you make any corrections to the list? How?

The way that I see myself is really similar to how they see me. I always try my best at being good and consistent in every aspect that they mentioned. Also, I think that I have great people around me always helping me and trying to make me a better person, and that is what motivates me to be better.

    Hi Emanuely,
    Communication skills, time management and a strong work ethic are definitely some of the important qualities needed to survive and flourish in a competitive business environment. It definitely seems like sports has shaped your personality from the better. Consistency is key in achieving success and having a strong support system will definitely help you in times of distress and they will motivate you and keep pushing you till you achieve you true potential.

    Hi Emanuely,
    I believe that the way you described yourself are impressive for future companies that you obtain interest in. Communication skills, time management, a strong work ethic, prepared for anything and down for anything sounds as though, you will be fine in whatever field you choose to work in. I think your interviewees spoke very highly of you and that speaks to your integrity. Good luck in the future, Emanuely!

Reading Reflection No. 2

Mindset by Carol S. Dweck 1) What was the general theme or argument of the book? Researching about a belief about our midset. 2) How did the book, in your opinion, connect with and enhance what you are learning in ENT 3003? I think that it connects with having a positive mindset and believing in yourself when doing anything in your life. 3) If you had to design an exercise for this class, based on the book you read, what would that exercise involve? Design a project for the business idea that we had. 4) What was your biggest surprise or 'aha' moment when reading the book? In other words, what did you learn that differed most from your expectations? I think that was interesting when it said that our mindset controls what we are on our day-to-day.

Reading Reflection No. 3

What was the general theme or argument of the book?  Daniel Kahneman's "Thinking, Quick and Slow"  The general point around this book is that you have in mind two mechanisms that continuously battle for decision power.  How did the book, in your opinion, connect with and enhance what you are learning in ENT 3003? This book helped me more financially when learning about the two main mechanisms that conflict with my decision making.  If you had to design an exercise for this class, based on the book you read, what would that exercise involve? The exercise would have many problems that students would have to solve thinking fast. What was your biggest surprise or aha moment when reading the book? In other words, what did you learn that differed most from your expectations? Just learning to not overthink too much.

An unmet need that I found was the lack of international food in Gainesville, Florida. Gainesville is a college town where a lot of international people come to study or even just to leave there, but unfortunately, Gainesville does not provide them with food from their country. Gainesville also does not have anywhere where they can buy food to cook. There is not a specific type of customer. The customers will be from all over the world, so I cannot imagine only one type. What I have in common with the customers is that I am from another country and I live in Gainesville, I have the same need.
