10 Timeless Lessons from Elon Musk:
1. If you do something like read a lot of books and talk to a lot of people, you can learn almost anything.
2. Criticize the action, not the person. We all make mistakes.
3. It's OK to be wrong. Just don't be confident and wrong.
4. When hiring, look for people with the right attitude. Skills can be taught. Attitude changes require a brain transplant.
5. Don’t aspire to glory; aspire to work.
6. Failure is irrelevant unless it is catastrophic.
7. Never ask your troops to do something you're not willing to do.
8. The measure of success in my life is: “How many useful things can I get done?”
9. Physics is law. Everything else is a recommendation. I've met many people who can break the laws of man, but I have never met anyone who could break the laws of physics.
10. When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor.
Your life is war.
Getting a woman is war.
Getting more money is war.
Having and keeping a strong reputation is war.
Everything is war for a man.
Be a warrior.
