From 慢慢樹：
Musk總是能準(zhǔn)確把握未來的趨勢(shì)横媚，緊握先機(jī)，付諸實(shí)踐一罩。從Zip2杨幼， Paypal，spacede的經(jīng)歷中可見一斑聂渊。當(dāng)人們還對(duì)互聯(lián)網(wǎng)懵懂之時(shí)差购，Musk已經(jīng)預(yù)見到導(dǎo)航，搜索和map結(jié)合的巨大潛力汉嗽，創(chuàng)立了Zip2 ;當(dāng)人們還在質(zhì)疑網(wǎng)上交易時(shí)欲逃，Musk已經(jīng)預(yù)見到未來支付領(lǐng)域的前景，大手筆投入Paypal饼暑；當(dāng)人們對(duì)火星知之甚少稳析，甚至漠不關(guān)心之時(shí)，Musk已經(jīng)看到太空領(lǐng)域發(fā)展的無限前景弓叛，開啟人類成為multiplanetary species的新紀(jì)元彰居。這里的一個(gè)感觸就是Musk的成功模式=先知+先行。
對(duì)于事物發(fā)展敏銳的覺察在Musk身上尤為突出邪码、是Musk異于常人的重要一點(diǎn)裕菠。更為重要的是，他不僅看到了方向闭专，而且付諸實(shí)踐奴潘。這讓我想起來剛剛讀完的一本小書Charles Darwin .達(dá)爾文結(jié)束環(huán)球旅行后，就一直在秘密做進(jìn)化論方面的研究影钉，并形成了進(jìn)化論的理論画髓。但是當(dāng)時(shí)上帝創(chuàng)世論盛行，他根本沒勇氣發(fā)表自己的觀點(diǎn)和理論平委。如果不是1858年發(fā)生一件事奈虾，他可能到死都不會(huì)將自己的研究公諸于世。那一年一位叫Wallace的科學(xué)家將自己的一篇文章寄給達(dá)爾文廉赔，希望他能幫助出版肉微，達(dá)爾文一看大吃一驚，Wallace竟然也提出了進(jìn)化論的觀點(diǎn)蜡塌！這時(shí)他才著了急碉纳，擔(dān)心別人可能會(huì)搶占先機(jī)（someone else would get credit for a theory he 's discovered years ago ）,才公開了自己進(jìn)化論的理論。從這件事上馏艾，我們看到達(dá)爾文雖有先知劳曹，但他沒有先行奴愉，以至于險(xiǎn)些錯(cuò)過了先機(jī)。
中國(guó)古人常講铁孵，天時(shí)锭硼、地利、人和蜕劝。 讀完這一部分檀头，我突然發(fā)現(xiàn)還真是這么回事。
天時(shí)：火箭的商業(yè)化市場(chǎng)放開熙宇。a whole new market might open for both commercial and research pay-loads if a ?company could drastically lower the price per launch and perform larunches on a regular schedule .
地利：Musk為什么搬到了LA鳖擒？ Musk had picked Los Angeles with intent . It gave him access to space or at least the space industry ....while he didn't know exaclty what he wanted to do in space ,he realized that just by being in LA he would be surrounded by the world's top aeronautics thinkers . They would help him refine any ideas. 事實(shí)的確如此，正是在這樣的環(huán)境之中烫止，Musk得到了啟示，經(jīng)歷了brainstorm戳稽。
人和：赴俄羅斯購買發(fā)射器失敗后馆蠕，Musk躊躇滿志提出了自己造火箭，底氣就來自于他手里有王牌團(tuán)隊(duì)惊奇，尤其是一位造火箭的奇才Mueller.
From 楚汐：
這便也給了我們一些啟示：有時(shí)候我們的輕易放棄互躬，或許只是因?yàn)槟切┦虑椴⒎俏覀儍?nèi)心所真正渴求的吧。而對(duì)于真正感興趣的事情颂郎，不需要堅(jiān)持也會(huì)一直做下去的吼渡。所以，花點(diǎn)時(shí)間想想自己的真正目標(biāo)是什么乓序。
可以參考之前讀過的《高效能人士的7個(gè)習(xí)慣》里的場(chǎng)景想象：
若我們有機(jī)會(huì)得以出現(xiàn)在我們死后的葬禮上寺酪，當(dāng)我們審視著棺材里的自己，會(huì)作何感想呢替劈？我們會(huì)希望我們的親朋好友同事們?cè)谖覀兊脑岫Y上如何評(píng)價(jià)我們呢寄雀？
我們?cè)谏w棺定論時(shí)所希望獲得的評(píng)論，才是我們內(nèi)心深處真正想要追求的目標(biāo)陨献。以終為始（to begin with the end）盒犹，需要我們對(duì)自己內(nèi)心深處最終想要獲得的目標(biāo)了然于心，并時(shí)刻記著眨业，一路走來一路審視急膀，方能在前往目標(biāo)的道路不迷失，不走岔龄捡。簡(jiǎn)單的說卓嫂，我們想“得瓜”，就只能“種瓜”墅茉，而不能“種豆”命黔。
向 Elon 學(xué)習(xí)呜呐，用一生的時(shí)間去做一些有意義的，永恒的事情
From ZHAODAIWEI
有句話叫“寧做雞頭悍募，不做鳳尾”蘑辑，個(gè)人其實(shí)不太贊同這句話。就像文中的Mueller一樣坠宴，一個(gè)優(yōu)秀的團(tuán)隊(duì)才是最大的吸引力和資源洋魂。在一個(gè)自己一枝獨(dú)秀的環(huán)境里，雖然能夠滿足自己的虛榮心和價(jià)值感喜鼓，但是卻很難使自己繼續(xù)成長(zhǎng)副砍。相反的，在一個(gè)優(yōu)秀的環(huán)境里庄岖，即使自己只是其中不起眼的一員豁翎，也能被身邊的人所感染不斷進(jìn)步。
From Jane:
Elon Musk這個(gè)人真是太瘋狂了隅忿，其實(shí)仔細(xì)想想心剥，我們一邊在驚嘆他瘋狂的同時(shí)，是不是心里也在偷偷羨慕他呢背桐？還記得我們?cè)?jīng)的兒時(shí)嗎优烧？那些我們乘夢(mèng)飛升，想象自己為超人链峭、俠客或海盜畦娄，戴上面具可以揮舞著小拳頭說我們可以去打抱不平，劫富濟(jì)貧弊仪，一切的一切熙卡，都可以隨歲月遠(yuǎn)去；但最后在你心里能夠保留下來的東西撼短，可以決定你的一生再膳。
人越小，越有夢(mèng)想曲横，越有雄心喂柒。那時(shí)我們不害怕，不害怕去想禾嫉，不害怕去相信灾杰。我們可以相信自己可以真的去拯救世界，改變世界熙参。然而許多人長(zhǎng)大后艳吠，被各種現(xiàn)實(shí)磨去的棱角，殆盡了夢(mèng)想孽椰，自顧不暇昭娩，為生計(jì)奔波凛篙。很多人發(fā)現(xiàn)自己其實(shí)什么都不能做，變得自私栏渺，變得冷漠呛梆，變得抱怨，變得不再相信自己磕诊，不再相信可以去拯救世界填物，或是改變世界。
你可以說Elon Musk是個(gè)太幸運(yùn)的人霎终，老天如此眷顧他滞磺，給了他無以倫比的智慧和和膽識(shí)，他創(chuàng)造財(cái)富的同時(shí)莱褒，也有能力實(shí)現(xiàn)自己曾經(jīng)的夢(mèng)想击困，但是我更愿意這樣認(rèn)為，Elon Musk骨子里是個(gè)至純至真之人广凸，他的內(nèi)心里始終住著個(gè)小男孩沛励，其實(shí)只有具有如此童真童心之人才能透過世界紛雜，直抵事物的本源本質(zhì)炮障。
對(duì)了，還有一句是我經(jīng)常對(duì)我兒子說的“努力朝自己的夢(mèng)想前進(jìn)吧坤候，即使是歷盡艱辛胁赢。如果有朝一日你真的實(shí)現(xiàn)了你的夢(mèng)想，一定不要忘了去幫助那些需要幫助的人白筹≈悄”
