What "Practical" Skills do Entrepreneurs Use?

Today in Business Studies we learnt about Entrepreneurs. We were then showed some famous entrepreneurs and their quotes, Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison and Robert Frost all made quotes to inspire others. Next, we had to find an inspirational quote that we liked.

"Life is often compared to a marathon, but I think it is more like being a sprinter; long stretches of hard work punctuated by brief moments in which we are given the opportunity to perform at our best." - Micheal Johnson

We had been given another activity about Entrepreneurs. We learned about "Practical" skills are very crucial for entrepreneurs.

Summary on Sustainability

What I have learnt in Sustainability Hurumanu is all relating to Earth, all living species and etc. We mostly studied the problems that have been happening currently during our survival, including the effects that have impacted on all species. We watched a few videos of COVID-19 and the overpopulation, we also studied how this happened and how to fight and limit it.

We also studied how to prevent this from spreading and decreasing the risk of being infected by this virus. Later on, we investigated on our planet resources and we should maintain and protect them, we learned about renewable resources to prevent us from damaging the Earth itself and that we don't run out of that specific product, for example, wood. We then learned more about mathematics and data and the meaning of statistics.








My reflection on my learning in Sustainability Hurumanu is that the activities we do mostly interest me because it gives us an example of Sustainability and how we collect data which include mathematics. We did Mathletics to learn the areas of the shapes and etc and how to actually solve them. There is nothing I would want to change for this Hurumanu and I enjoyed this experience.
