I chose Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future by Ashlee Vance.
1. Elon Musk's childhood surprised me. You dont always know how your childhood life can change your future. I admire Musk's tenacity, and power. I least admire the amount of wealth he has. Surely it can be put somewhere else. Musk has witnessed a lot of failure and adversity. In his childhood, in his careers. Its natural.
2. Elon Musk is quite extroverted, so it allowed him to become very successful quite quickly.
3. What I found confusing was how Elon Musk kept finding ways to do more, and to be better. Perhaps thats just a true entrepreneur at heart, because he keeps finding ways to make more money.
4. What's your secret? What's your advice to generations in 100 years? Elon Musk is one of the most powerful entrepreneurs out there. He will impact our economy and our world for a very long time.
5. Elon Musk worked hard. He got a PhD, and worked hard studying sciences and physics. He was in the right mindset for his whole life, and it got him somewhere.
Hello Chloe,
ReplyDeleteI admire that you chose Elon Musk as the entrepreneur you read about for this assignment. I was going to choose this entrepreneur out of all of the options provided due to his impact on our economic and societal values. I am in agreement with the fact that he has far too much financial assets in today’s day and age. However, he created this success and is entitled to it.
Hello Chloe,
ReplyDeleteElon Musk is a very good choice for this assignment! I was going to pick him as well but then I changed to Steve Jobs at the last minute. Glad I was able to read your reflection and get a little grasp on what I missed out on! In my opinion, Musk is one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time!
Hello Chloe! I can’t believe we chose the same book! What is even more interesting to me is that we chose completely different subjects to talk about as well. I think that the topics of Elon Musk’s life you chose to talk about were extremely interesting and great choices in general. One universal thing that you always should talk about with Elon Musk is his perseverance and I think that its great that you brought it up.
ReplyDeleteHey Chloe! I find it funny how much Professor Pryor dislikes Elon Musk but it seems that not a lot of people like him so maybe it makes sense. Do you think Elon is going to continue being wealthy? Honestly, I don’t know much about him or his business but it seems like from lecture he’s not keeping much of his profits?? Anyways, I agree that he could use some of his money to start up community projects or fund charities. I do admire his characteristic of tenacity; that is an important thing to have as an entrepreneur.
