Elon Musk
With the successes of PayPal, SolarCity, Spacex and Tesla he astonished the world.
He showed, that if you can dream big and work hard, you can change an Industry.
Elon Musk broke the Indefinite Optimism: Incremental improvement of technology instead of coming up with something groundbreaking new.
It is the notion that a better future will come, so you just have to wait.
But one thing changes this idle prison into definite optimism: the realization that you have to and can build the future.
What you can imagine can be done. You need to find out how, put in enough work and stop for nothing on the way towards your goal.
This is exactly what Elon did. He knew he wanted to solve a big problem, not of market, but of humanity.
Guranteeing survival of the species by making humans a multiplanetary species.
A huge endevour, even too big for Elon alone. So he took years to find a way how he can do the most to help and finally found it: Starting SpaceX.
Opening up space to private companies. The BFR not only opens up earth orbit or Mars, but the whole Solar System.
His Actions spoke out an invitation: I am building the bridge, help me build the future!
There is much to build for the red planet and beyond. Space is the **biggest empty canvas and holds infinite opportunities to explore, build and prosper for mankind!
This is where you come in:
Help spinning the cycle:
The Mars-Cycle: Making mars more possible -> More people are interested -> More money spend on Mars -> More technology is build
- By building new technology you are making Mars more possible.
- This in turn gets more people interested.
- More money is spend on Mars.
- Which fuels businesses to build more technology.
Find out what company or product doesn't exist now! What problem isn't solved? Get out and meet likeminded people and build a killer team. Tackle all problems on your way and question all current solutions. Aim to build a product that is 10 times better than the next best comparable one.
Work on it like a maniac and stamp out your destiny.
The easiest way to predict the future, is to build it.
Which also makes your present more fun.
Because you never know what's around the corner.
