DRIVEN

DRIVEN is an automotive industry magazine in which both Frank and Jesse are featured in.  After reading Frank’s forward and the article about Jesse I have come to understand Ideal more than I already have. I also learned a lot about Frank, and his kids, Jesse and Linzie as individuals.

I learned lots of things from Frank and his kids by reading DRIVEN. In the article about Ideal Group, Frank expresses that instead of being an engineer like his family wanted, him to he became an entrepreneur. That set an example to me to do what will make me happy and not what others want me to do. Linzie is the Marketing Manager of Ideal and she has showed an example of success and knowledge although she’s a Hispanic women. Jesse is Ideal Setech’s vice president and general manager. I think of Jesse a person who watched the company grow and realized his potential within the company, so now his goal is to continue to grow the company and follow his father’s footsteps. From Jesse, learned that there is always lots of things that need to be run within the company and moving up in positions is also an option.

Making a magazine like DRIVEN is a good idea because it shows how generations of minority groups are able to start a legacy of success. Success doesn’t come easy there are always obstacles standing in the way of being successful especially in the life of a person of color. There are stories, like Frank’s, that can inspire a person from a minority group to strive for big dreams and they could learn that from DRIVEN.DRIVEN also touches on the principles and traits the people have acquired in order to be successful and it’s important for others to learn about those things as well.

There are lots of things that can be learned from a magazine like DRIVEN. From a family and their success in the business industry to skills and traits that need to be shared to others.
