Author: Meyer Musk? Mother of Silicon Valley Iron Man Elon Musk
She made her debut at the age of 15, got married at the age of 22, and successfully went bankrupt at the age of 31 to become a single mother. He traveled to multiple cities in three countries to develop his career, independently raised three outstanding and talented children, and obtained two master's degrees at the same time.
She returned to the modeling stage in her 60s and became popular when her hair turned gray. At the age of 69, her image occupied four billboards in Times Square in the United States.
She is a 72-year-old "Internet celebrity" and an inspirational idol in the minds of many people. She may be famous because she is the mother of Silicon Valley Iron Man Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla cars, but She is the queen of her own life, she is Meyer Musk.
This is an inspirational autobiography of life. Although the author is a woman, this story will definitely bring life enlightenment to those who are confused and in pain.
What I feel most deeply about this book is the influence of family on future generations. In particular, the author's parents were able to take the whole family on a plane to explore and travel in the desert with only three days of food, but they made the necessary plans and preparations.
Just like Meyer Musk’s parents, her life is like an adventure, but she is brave and has a good attitude. Even after experiencing several setbacks, she still chooses to make a plan and start over. During this period, she would have self-doubts and encounter countless problems that she could not solve. But life is up to me, and if you dare to take risks, your wishes can come true.
Let me share a few classic sentences:
1. The earlier you act, the less painful it will be.
To deal with life's problems, you must learn to fight a physical battle. Don't sit in the mud and cry in any case. "First make a plan and start taking action."
When people encounter a problem, they should not just look at it from the current perspective, nor do they have to solve it now. With time and experience, it can be solved easily, and it may even disappear naturally or not disappear at all. That's a problem.
So, don’t get stuck in complaining, stay in pain, take action quickly. However, you can’t act too blindly, you must learn to plan well (it doesn’t have to be very detailed).
2 The best thing in life is to strive to become a better version of yourself.
What is a better version of yourself?
External beauty, image, temperament, smile and inner beauty;
Life is more interesting and full of talents, such as writing, playing the piano, cooking and speaking; < /p>
Live a wonderful life, do what you like, build your own career, and reflect your own value.
3 The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing.
Life is meant to grow from hardships and thrive from hardships, so you must dare to challenge your opponents and not be afraid of wrestling.
4. Cherish friendship.
The people you meet in life are like getting on and off the bus constantly, and those who have the same destination as you are like-minded people.
Children will leave home, lovers will break up, and jobs will be retired, but like-minded close friends will be a good companion. Of course, your lover can also be your close friend who shares the same goals.
5. Be good at seeking help and support from others.
Only by asking for help from others can you better find people with whom you can really interact, and can you better expand your boundaries.
Asking for help is a very basic survival ability. Asking for help is forming a network and building trust and connections with more people.
And history has proven that those who have taken the initiative to help you are more willing to help you when you are in trouble than the people you have helped.
6 Family Motto: Live adventurously and prudently.
As the South African proverb goes: "N Boer 'n plan". Meaning, good farmers are good at planning.
You have to dare to explore your life like an adventure, but only if you learn to plan well.
If you explore life according to the plan, it may not be so satisfactory at first. If the plan is not thorough and the actions do not achieve the desired results, it does not matter. The process of doing is the process of getting.
Writing this,
I deeply understand the famous saying of the writer Helen Keller: "Your life is either a bold adventure or you gain nothing."< /p>
Indeed, the most important thing in life is to have a good attitude, be good at making plans, and dare to take risks. All your wishes can come true, even if your wish is to fly to Mars.
After reading this book, I hope that no matter what age you are, you will be inspired to take action, bravely explore life, and live a wonderful life. From now on, your life will be yours.
