Adams was born in Windham, New York in 1957 and received his Bachelor's degree in Economics from Hartwick College in 1979.
He also studied economics and management for his 1986 MBA from the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley.
Scott Adams has likely failed at more things than anyone you’ve ever met or anyone you’ve even heard of. So how did he go from hapless office worker and serial failure to the creator of Dilbert, one of the world’s most famous syndicated comic strips, in just a few years? In How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big, Adams shares the strategy he has used since he was a teen to invite failure in, to embrace it, then pick its pocket.
No career guide can offer advice for success that works for everyone. As Adams explains, your best bet is to study the ways of others who made it big and try to glean some tricks and strategies that make sense for you. Adams pulls back the covers on his own unusual life and shares what he learned for turning one failure after another into something good and lasting. Adams reveals that he failed at just about everything he’s tried, including his corporate career, his inventions, his investments, and his two restaurants. But there’s a lot to learn from his personal story, and a lot of humor along the way. While it’s hard for anyone to recover from a personal or professional failure, Adams discovered some unlikely truths that helped to propel him forward. For instance:
• Goals are for losers. Systems are for winners.
• "Passion" is bull. What you need is personal energy.
• A combination of mediocre skills can make you surprisingly valuable.
• You can manage your odds in a way that makes you look lucky to others.
Systems vs Goals “Goals are for losers” he writes. In order to explain his systems vs goals theory, I’ve written down a few examples. Putting on Muscle: Goal: I want to put on 20lbs of muscle System: I will follow the xxx training program. I will eat...
評分 評分 評分Dilbert作者寫的self-help書,英文版的“失敗乃成功他媽”,不過其實很嚴肅,值得翻翻。
评分一個有點cheesy的book title,但內容對普通人來說超實用,教你變成一個從工程角度上來說更健康更自律也更加容易被幸運光顧的人。不愧是漫畫傢啊,文風超幽默,人生一次次被打趴下來,卻還能讓你笑著讀完。
评分從4月底開始讀這本書,花瞭一個半月的時間,讀完本書; 作者是《呆伯特》係列漫畫的作者,介紹瞭自己的生活和工作流程,闡述瞭自己對成功的看法,最重要的一個觀點是關於目標goals和係統system的看法:goals are for losers,失敗者纔追求目標,成功者追求係統;
评分缺乏深度,沒什麼意思
评分很實用的一本書,雖然一時想不起來哪裏特彆驚艷。讓自己更勇於麵對不能確定的變化,並把這認為是一件好事兒。一點一滴中,活的更好。
