in #life8 years ago

 There is an ocean of things one can learn from Elon Musk

1.  Life is nothing without failure: His company spacex as well as tesla  faced a lot of flak from the market when his initial launches were  unsuccessful. Many people thought of giving up on him. But Elon here did  what he was best at, he didn't give up. He continued to work hard and  find better solution to his launch problems. And he finally got a series  of successful launch.

2. Every failed  relationship teaches you something: He married Taluah Riley in 2010 then  divorced her in 2012 and then again married her in 2013 and divorced  her in 2016. The series of divorces has costed him almost 50 million $  in alimony fees but has also made him learn a lot of other things.

3.  Invest before you spend: After getting 100 million $ from PayPal  settlement he could have bought an island and chilled the fuck out. But  instead he took the road less travelled and invested in his 2 parent  companies Tesla and Spacex reat is history, now he's​ worth of almost 15  billion $. 

 4.  An immigrant is as equal as a native: He was a South African immigrant  who came to America to fullfill his dreams. If Trump would have been the  president at that point in time. We wouldn't get to see Tesla, Spacex,  Solar city and many more of ventures.

5. One  need's to risk it to get it: He has that risk factor which makes him  stand apart from the others. Even when he was nearing bankruptcy he  risked and literally bet all his money on spacex on the final try for  the launch of Spacex. And it paid off..Elon's  life tells us that if you put in time, if you work hard then one day you  will succeed and live more than your dreams. And there is nothing like  talent here it's all hard work which pays off in the end. He for one is  not talented he's fucking obsessed with his work. He has pu in these 4  things in his life since an early age to be this successful: 

 1. Dedication
2. Determination
3. Discipline
4. Unfazed focus
