Riding the wind and waves, life is up to me-life is up to me? Meyer? musk
In the second half of 2020, Mango TV launched a variety show "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves". This program became popular as soon as it went online, and various topics related to it frequently appeared in online hot search, becoming the most popular variety show.

The program group ingeniously gathered 30 female artists aged 30+ and organized a PK group. These sisters have made great achievements in the entertainment circle, but they all face the same realistic dilemma: in today's entertainment circle, they are all too old and will soon be out of date.

However, the energy and momentum shown by the sisters in the program are completely beyond their real age. They lived together, rehearsed together, and PK together, bringing wonderful performances. In the end, Seven Sisters was "broken", and the stage charm was no less than or even better than the florets in their early twenties.

While watching the sisters' performances, the audience really felt that no matter what stage of life, they can set out bravely, pursue their dreams and realize their values with the spirit of self-confidence, progress and hard work.

Some netizens commented: Seeing my sisters shining on the stage, I suddenly stopped being afraid of getting old. ...

Yes! I don't know when it started, and age anxiety has become a big problem that puzzles modern women.

Thirty years old should be the golden age of life, but the sisters in the entertainment circle have begun to face the dilemma of unemployment and having to live. Ordinary people like us, if we continue to work hard in the workplace, will worry about becoming older women or older women; If you choose to return to your family, you are worried that you will be turned into a yellow-faced woman by ordinary life day after day, and eventually eliminated by both family and society. ...

The growth of age makes modern women feel uneasy.

At this time, if someone says to you: don't let age be your bondage, aging will also have dividends. Would you believe it?

Look at the book "Life is up to me"! Women's puzzles in age, occupation, parenting, etc. can be found here.

Meyer Musk, the author of this book, is 72 years old with silver hair and bright eyes. She is still active in modeling today, and she is also an online celebrity. Her extraordinary life experience has made her an inspirational idol in the eyes of many women.

If you are not familiar with this name, another name, elon musk, the founder of Tesla, which is famous in today's scientific and technological circles, may bring you some associations. Yes, elon musk is the eldest son of Meyer Musk, and Meyer is Elon's mother.

Life is up to me is the autobiography of Meyer Musk. She 15 first got on the runway, got married and had children at the age of 22, and became a bankrupt single mother at the age of 3 1.

Later, Meyer took three children alone and traveled to three countries and cities, raising children while developing his own career.

Elon musk, the eldest son, founded Tesla Electric Vehicle Company and also launched the rocket launching business. The second son, kimball, opened a restaurant with direct supply of green ingredients and founded the Green Giant Organization to promote pure natural food. The youngest daughter is a screenwriter and director and runs her own entertainment company.

Meyer didn't stop learning when the children grew up. She holds two master's degrees and is a famous dietitian in Canada.

Meyer, who is in her 60 s, returned to the runway and became popular with a silver hair. Meyer, 69, monopolized four large billboards in Times Square.

Today, 72-year-old Meyer is a health speaker, model and internet celebrity. He also wrote an autobiography, Life is up to me.

In the book, Meyer tells in detail how he broke through the difficulties of life and completed the transformation of phoenix nirvana. We can learn Meyer's valuable life experience about success, growth and family from three aspects.

1. Have dreams, be brave in action, persist in learning, attach importance to professionalism, have organizational ability and adventurous spirit. These family traditions handed down from generation to generation are an important foundation for Meyer and her children to succeed in life.

Meyer comes from different families. She has maverick parents.

My father's dream is to travel around the world, so he bought a plane as a tool for family travel. This is a canvas plane with a propeller. This equipment is cool enough even now, let alone in the11950s. No wonder the locals call their home "crazy Americans".

My mother wholeheartedly supports my father's dream and has been exploring the unknown world side by side with him.

When all five children were young, Meyer's parents dared to fly them around. There was neither GPS nor radio on the plane at that time. Meyer's parents only rely on compasses and maps, and then make detailed travel plans according to the details of the route and destination, so as to be fully prepared for any unexpected situation. In this way, they traveled to more than 60 countries.

Meyer's most memorable trip was in South Africa. Almost every winter, the family goes to kalahari desert to find the lost city. The inspiration for this trip came from an adventure book that her father read. He put his ideas into action and persisted for twelve years. And most of the time, it was their family who completed the expedition together.

A trip across the desert usually takes three weeks. Meyer's parents will prepare food, water and gasoline for three weeks, and then put five children in the car.

There is no road in the crossing area, and several children will take turns running in front of the truck to ensure that there are no pits and stumps in front; When the car hits a tree, Dad will take out covered electrode and fix it with his brother. Drinking water was accidentally mixed with gasoline, and the family was looking for fresh water while drinking "gasoline water" ...

During the trip, they saw all kinds of animals and plants and met all kinds of dangers. Meyer's mother was bitten by a scorpion and her sister was chased by an ostrich. When she was by the river, she accidentally stood on the back of a crocodile. The most thrilling time, a big lion visited their camp. ...

There are always unexpected emergencies in field trips, but the Meyer family always has a way to solve them.

These family experiences of traveling and exploring together have deeply implanted the family motto of "take risks and live cautiously" into the hearts of every child.

Meyer's father always said: Nothing is impossible for a Haldeman! This became the creed of Meyer's brothers and sisters. Later, Meyer also set an example in life and showed his children what the Musk family could not do!

Have dreams, be brave in action, persist in learning, attach importance to specialty, have organizational ability and adventurous spirit. The important success qualities in these family traditions, from Meyer's parents to Meyer himself, and then to Meyer's children, have been passed down from generation to generation, leading them to their own success.

1. Maintain the power of self-growth: make plans, take actions, practice both inside and outside, and be healthy and beautiful. Success has nothing to do with age.

Young Meyer once lived a terrible life in hell. She got married at the age of 22 and gave birth to three children in three years and three weeks. But her husband is not only domestic violence, but also cruel. He even threatened Meyer to keep quiet by "shooting at the children's knees", let alone get divorced. So for nine years, Meyer has been living under the violence of her husband, and she has borne all the pain, humiliation and fear by herself.

To make matters worse, the laws in South Africa did not protect women at that time, and the abuse of women by men could not constitute the basis for divorce. Meyer doesn't know if he can get a divorce. But in the year when South Africa passed the "Irretrievable Marriage Break-up" law, Meyer put the divorce into action.

In order to get rid of this terrible marriage as soon as possible, Meyer only needs custody of three children. Finally, with the help of a lawyer, she got a small house without air conditioning and a car that still has to pay the loan every month.

The beginning of a new life benefited from Meyer's insistence that he never stopped working. Like his mother, constant effort is something Meyer has never changed. Even during pregnancy and childcare, she continued to work at home.

After becoming a bankrupt single mother, Mayer immediately devoted herself to her own career. Meyer is a nutrition consultant. Nutrition is very popular in South Africa. She has many clients. At the same time, she also found some modeling jobs to increase her income. But raising three children alone, Meyer's life is still very tight.

The Meyer family lives in a small apartment. Only girls can sleep in the bedroom and boys can sleep on the sofa. Their most common food is cheap peanut butter sandwiches and bean soup, and they hardly buy new clothes.

But all this can't stop Meyer from moving forward. She pays attention to the present, makes plans for every step, and then goes all out.

In order to further improve in the field of nutrition, Meyer moved to another town with her children and became a dietitian intern. There, she volunteered to teach model catwalk and image management, hold fashion shows, teach nutrition and build inner confidence, and raise scholarships for students majoring in nutrition. Life is full and busy. During this period, Meyer also studied for a master's degree in science.

With unremitting efforts, Meyer's nutrition consulting career has been developing continuously, and at the same time, her modeling career has also encountered new opportunities-she has become the only plus-size model in South Africa. At this time, no matter as a dietitian or a model, Meyer needs to appear in public frequently, and she must maintain a good personal image. Meyer therefore made his own healthy eating plan and insisted on it for many years.

Opportunities always favor those who are prepared. With the passage of time, Meyer's career gradually stepped onto a broader stage, and she won the opportunity to enter the American modeling world.

In a Virgin America advertising casting contest with 300 beautiful young models, she won perfectly. At the age of 67, Mayer's advertising photos were almost everywhere in the station and subway. At the same time, the spread of net posts has also brought her higher popularity. People were crazy about her white hair, and Meyer became an online celebrity.

Meyer said: When I was 0/5 years old, I was told that my modeling career would end when I was 0/8 years old. But I reached the peak of my modeling career when I was 7 1 year old. What I have learned from this is that you can always find a way forward, and you can always make another better plan.

As an attractive older model, Meyer also shared the following wonderful experiences in the book:

1. Seek professional help to create your own fashion clothes. When a professional puts forward a completely different style of dress, don't refuse it in a hurry, but use "why not?" "Give yourself a chance to try.

2. Don't refuse to put on makeup, attractive people will never make themselves look dull when they appear! Any way to make yourself look more exquisite and beautiful is worth trying and owning.

Be an interesting person, not just beautiful in appearance.

A healthy body will give you enough physical strength to face a busy life. Sticking to exercise is a choice you will never regret.

Always take the pursuit of beauty as an important topic in life, and make your appearance and heart the same. All these can make you more confident.

When reviewing her life, Meyer talked about the painful marriage that once entangled her. With her fancy for fame and age, she was constantly discriminated against and rejected countless times in the modeling circle. She feels that her clothes are poor, her appearance is not very good, and she can't judge people. She is a "love rat harvester". As a single mother, life has been hard for many years and I have lost confidence in life countless times.

But in the end, with the strength in his bones and the ability to keep learning, Meyer gradually grew into a beautiful, smart, powerful and free successful person.

She told us with her own experience that although life is full of difficulties, there are still rules to follow in the process of transformation. Success has nothing to do with age, and aging also has dividends.

2. The best family education is for parents to set an example and cultivate their children's independence.

In Meyer's brilliant life resume, three excellent children can not be ignored, with strong colors. It is hard to imagine that a single mother who lives entirely on her own not only raised her three children, but also educated them to be outstanding.

Thanks to the good family tradition and the status of working mother, Meyer cultivated the independent ability of self-reliance when his child was very young. Meyer believes that there is no need to overprotect children, which will lead them to be out of touch with reality and responsibility. Under the premise of safety, give children enough independent space and ask them to be independent, kind, honest, considerate, polite, hardworking and do more good deeds.

When Meyer was a nutrition consultant at home, her 10-year-old eldest son Elon helped her operate the machine, her 9-year-old second son kimball helped her receive guests, and her 8-year-old daughter Tosca was responsible for registering information. Every child tries his best to help his mother.

Meyer never checks the children's homework, scolds them or tells them what to study. Children learn to take responsibility from an early age and have more and more clear plans for their own lives. In the case that Meyer did not even read the application materials, all three children independently completed the application for universities, scholarships and student loans.

In terms of children's growth, Meyer gives them complete respect and lets them follow their own interests. When Elon was young, Meyer noticed that he liked reading all kinds of books. He never forgot every word he read and absorbed knowledge anytime and anywhere. Kimball showed great interest in food since he was a child, and he was willing to cook delicious food. Tosca has always loved the art of film performance.

With Meyer's constant encouragement and support, the three children followed their hobbies and studied, and when they grew up, they achieved their own careers.

Meyer believes that the most useful education for children is to let them see that you are trying to be a better yourself and keep an optimistic attitude towards life.

Professional women don't have much time to spend with their children, so children have more opportunities to develop their talents. This is a prominent advantage of children's education.

Today's Musk family is shining in their favorite fields, and they are continuing their careers with vigor and passion.

After reading Meyer Musk's book Life with Me, I suddenly remembered an old saying in China: One generation of grandmothers, three generations of grandchildren. An outstanding woman in a family, with her genes and morality, can really benefit future generations.

Therefore, this book written by women is also written for every woman. I hope that women who are fortunate enough to read this book will have at least one tenth of the courage and energy of Meyer Musk when facing the hardships and challenges of life, and stick to it until they shine.

May every woman wake up to the Force. No matter what age, you can ride the wind and waves on your own life stage, and life is up to me!
