Elon Musk was asked what advice he would give to his younger self. He went completely silent on camera. When he finally spoke his voice was shaking.
It wasn't a dramatic pause for effect. He was processing something. His jaw tightened. His eyes dropped. You could see the weight of whatever memory had surfaced.
The interviewer waited. The audience waited.
When he spoke he didn't give a business lesson. He didn't say "take more risks" or "start earlier" or any of the polished answers billionaires usually prepare for that question.
He talked about the pain. Quietly. About how much harder it all was than he expected. About the weight on his personal life. About the relationships lost. The years that disappeared into work. The loneliness that nobody warns you about at the start.
He said something to the effect that he would tell his younger self that the price is real and that you have to decide if you're willing to pay it before you start because once you're in you can't stop.
It wasn't inspiring. It was honest. The kind of honest that only comes from someone who has built something massive and is sitting inside the cost of it every day.
The audience expected motivation. They got a warning.
Most people look at the result and call it a dream. The man who built it calls it a price. And when given the chance to talk to his past self, the first thing he wanted to talk about wasn't the achievement. It was the damage.
acho que o ser humano foi feito msm pra ir pra praia, ficar pelado, comer frutinhas, transar, fumar maconha e ficar de dengo agarradinho o resto é tudo bobagem que inventamos
In 1995, Elon Musk applied for a job at Netscape.
He sent his resume. He even went to their office.
But he was too shy to talk to anyone.
So he went home & started his own company.
31 years later, that shy kid who couldn’t ask for a job became the world’s first trillionaire.
이제 일본군 위안부 피해자에 대한 허위사실을 유포하면 형사처벌을 받습니다.
위안부피해자법 개정안이 내일부터 시행됨에 따라, 일본군 위안부 피해자에 대한 허위사실을 유포할 경우 최대 5년의 징역으로 처벌됩니다. 대검찰청도 이 사실을 전국 검찰청에 통지했습니다.
대한민국의 아픈 역사를 왜곡하고 위안부 피해자들의 상처를 헤집는 행위에 대해서 법무부는 엄정하게 대응해 나가겠습니다.
