1. What surprised you the most?
Elon Musk's was persistent with his goals, he never gave up. There was times that his financial situation was not in the best condition because of money-pit startups. His willingness to keep funding and making these projects work is nothing short of being remarkable.
What about the entrepreneur did you most admire?
I admire his innovated thinking that could change the world. His goal is to make humanity sustainable on earth.
What about the entrepreneur did you least admire?
There is talk that he criticized a employee because he witnessed the birth of his child instead of going to a Tesla event. Also, I'm not sure if he respects women because he said that they should only need about 10 hours a week of attention.
Did the entrepreneur encounter adversity and failure? If so, what did they do about it?
Did the entrepreneur encounter adversity and failure? If so, what did they do about it?
Elon Musk indeed fought against adversity and failure. He fought through financial recession and there was times that he though he would have to give up projects. Instead he found ways to get contracts, so he can keep both Tesla and Space x open.
He was amazing at problem solving, leadership, communication, and innovation.
3. Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you.
The chronological order of some of his successes could be quite confusing at points.
4. If you were able to ask two questions to the entrepreneur, what would you ask? Why?
My first question would be "What motivates you?" and " How much time do you take to develop these opportunities?". I would ask these questions because I think motivation is important, just as the time to put in an idea before you scrap it.
5.What do you think the entrepreneur's opinion was of hard work? Do you share that opinion?
I don't know if it's necessarily an opinion, but Musk wants to save the world with his technology. I would agree that is hard work. To make innovative ideas that would contribute to the success of reversing the decay of the world would be astonishing and impractical.
Elon was my pick as well. he's a very inspirational guy and he has so much to offer the world. His hard work ethic is incredible and it's what has propelled Tesla into the spot it currently holds. I totally space about the women thing though that does sound kind of misogynistic for sure.
ReplyDeleteMusk is such an inspirational entrepreneur. Musk is such a determined individual. I too admire his innovative thinking, and his goal to make humanity sustainable. Hopefully he succeeds in his quests. The planet needs more people like Elon Musk if things are ever going to change for the better. I wonder how such a person stays so motivated all the time?
