ElonMusk was born June 28, 1971 in Pretoria, South Arica. He is a technology
entrepreneur, investor, and engineer.
Today
I would like to share 36 successquotes from Elon Musk as like below:
1. "When something is important
enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor."
2. "Some people don't like change,
but you need to embrace change if the alternative is disaster."
3. "Failure is an option here. If
things are not failing, you are not innovating enough."
4. "Persistence is very important.
You should not give up unless you are forced to give up."
5. "I think it's very important to
have a feedback loop, where you're constantly thinking about what you've done
and how you could be doing it better."
6. "There's a tremendous bias
against taking risks. Everyone is trying to optimize their ass-covering."
7. "It's OK to have your eggs in
one basket as long as you control what happens to that basket."
8. "I don't think it's a good idea
to plan to sell a company."
9. "People work better when they
know what the goal is and why. It is important that people look forward to
coming to work in the morning and enjoy working."
10. "If you're co-founder or CEO,
you have to do all kinds of tasks you might not want to do... If you don't do
your chores, the company won't succeed... No task is too menial."
11. "I say something, and then it
usually happens. Maybe not on schedule, but it usually happens."
12. "I don't spend my time
pontificating about high-concept things; I spend my time solving engineering
and manufacturing problems."
13. "I always invest my own money
in the companies that I create. I don't believe in the whole thing of just
using other people's money. I don't think that's right. I'm not going to ask other
people to invest in something if I'm not prepared to do so myself."
14. "My biggest mistake is probably
weighing too much on someone's talent and not someone's personality. I think it
matters whether someone has a good heart."
15. "I don't create companies for
the sake of creating companies, but to get things done."
16. "Starting and growing a
business is as much about the innovation, drive, and determination of the
people behind it as the product they sell."
17. "The first step is to establish
that something is possible; then probability will occur."
18. "There are really two things
that have to occur in order for a new technology to be affordable to the mass
market. One is you need economies of scale. The other is you need to iterate on
the design. You need to go through a few versions."
19. "Talent is extremely important.
It's like a sports team, the team that has the best individual player will
often win, but then there's a multiplier from how those players work together
and the strategy they employ."
20. "I've actually not read any
books on time management."
21. "Really pay attention to
negative feedback and solicit it, particularly from friends. ... Hardly anyone
does that, and it's incredibly helpful."
22. "If you get up in the morning
and think the future is going to be better, it is a bright day. Otherwise, it's
not."
23. "What makes innovative thinking
happen?... I think it's really a mindset. You have to decide."
24. "People should pursue what
they're passionate about. That will make them happier than pretty much anything
else."
25. "I wouldn't say I have a lack
of fear. In fact, I'd like my fear emotion to be less because it's very
distracting and fries my nervous system."
26. "If you're trying to create a
company, it's like baking a cake. You have to have all the ingredients in the
right proportion."
27. "I think most of the important
stuff on the Internet has been built. There will be continued innovation, for
sure, but the great problems of the Internet have essentially been
solved."
28. "I think we have a duty to
maintain the light of consciousness to make sure it continues into the
future."
29. "When Henry Ford made cheap,
reliable cars, people said, 'Nah, what's wrong with a horse?' That was a huge
bet he made, and it worked."
30. "You shouldn't do things
differently just because they're different. They need to be... better."
31. "It's very important to like
the people you work with, otherwise life [and] your job is gonna be quite
miserable."
32. "Disruptive technology where
you really have a big technology discontinuity... tends to come from new
companies."
33. "As much as possible, avoid
hiring MBAs. MBA programs don't teach people how to create companies."
34. "Don't delude yourself into
thinking something's working when it's not, or you're gonna get fixated on a
bad solution."
35. "If something has to be
designed and invented, and you have to figure out how to ensure that the value
of the thing you create is greater than the cost of the inputs, then that is
probably my core skill."
36. "I always have optimism, but
I'm realistic. It was not with the expectation of great success that I started
Tesla or SpaceX... It's just that I thought they were important enough to do
anyway."
