What's My Secret Sauce?

My Human Capital
  1. I've lived in 2 different countries, moved 5 times in 4 years, gone to three different high schools, and worked at 3 places in 3 years. I have learned to adapt to my environment quickly. Whether it is a new school, neighborhood, or workplace, I can adapt and settle in no time.

  2. I've noticed the importance of speaking multiple languages more and more in recent times. I already speak two: English and Spanish. Languages come really easy to me, I just haven't gotten around to diving into a third one. But I know if I try, I can learn it quickly.

  3. Because of my constant change of environment, and because of my upbringing, I have a sense of maturity some people describe as "beyond my age". This means that, for example, I never look for any "beef" with anybody, regardless of where I am.

  4. I always try to do what's right. No matter where I am, I try to help people, or just be nicer than I need to be. It's mostly little things anyway, but I always try.

  5. I'm a fast learner. Despite the fact that I usually have to tinker with stuff to learn, I can do so pretty quickly, specially with technology, but that may be because I am, after all, a Comp. Science major.


Interviews

I talked to my grandfather, both my parents, a supervisor, and a co-worker and friend, both from Publix


Reflection
Actually, most of the things I think of myself are based on what people have said about me in the past. I didn't expect, however, to be considered driven. I mean, sure, I am determined once I set a goal, but I guess I always left that in the background. That I would put up on the list, instead of the languages, since its not uncommon to speak more than one language, and it can be merged into fast-learning anyway. But other than that, all the interviews sound like they are about me (yes, even the stubborn comments).

    Hey there Carlos, great quality post! I thought you really put a lot of work in to ensuring that you made a quality post. I can tell that your video editing took you some time but it really made for a good quality result. I think it's great that you have become aware of your strengths and unique attributes, as they are what will truly set you apart from your competition.

Forming An Opportunity Belief

The Opportunity Well, as I explained in my Bug List post, mobile payments are overlooked by both people and retailers. But I believe that people can benefit from a standardized mobile payment service. So, humans have a natural need for easy things. All innovative creations are a direct result of someone trying to make life easier for everyone else. During my time at Publix, I noticed people both appreciating that the card readers had gotten twice as fast, and at the same time complaining that paying can still be a hassle sometimes. I also noticed people trying to use different types of gift cards, and the inconveniences associated with them. This need is mainly present in young people, since we are the most exposed to technology, and also the most up-to-date with its changes and latest features. There are also slightly older people who try to stay ahead of the tech curve, and might also greatly benefit from this change. It has sort of always been there, and is also sort of relat...

Makers: The New Industrial Revolution by Chris Anderson Theme The book is based around how entrepreneurship is changing. In the past, inventors could design prototypes, but only big companies were able to produce anything, requiring the inventor to give up some control and money. But nowadays, there are small-scale factories that will produce anything at a reduced number, and for a smaller cost. Also, the process of inventing something is changing from dealing with physical objects to dealing with bytes, memory management, and pixels. And because of the internet, people in similar fields can now get in touch and collaborate easily, and more often than in the past. Connection to ENT3003 It kind of gave me a reason to keep doing what I'm doing. What I mean is, ever since I was a kid, I've been switching back and forth between what I wanted to become. First it was firefighter, then it was doctor, then industrial engineer, never really having a personal reas...
