Elon Musk的毕业典礼演讲
最近在Audible上听这本书:
想到了之前Elon在南加大商学院毕业典礼的演讲，“创业的五点心得.” 阅读原文查看transcript。
首先，简单介绍一下Elon Musk.
Musk grew up in Pretoria, South Africa, during the last decades of apartheid. He is the oldest of three siblings. At age 17, he moved to Canada and, in 1992, began attending the University of Pennsylvania where he received a bachelor’s degree in economics from the Wharton School. The next year he earned a second degree in physics. He became an American citizen in 2002.
At Tesla, Musk manages product development and design of the company’s electric vehicles, including the Roadster, Model S and the upcoming Model X. Transitioning to a sustainable energy economy, in which electric vehicles play a pivotal role, has been one of his central interests for almost two decades, stemming from his time working on ultracapacitors as a physics student.
At SpaceX, Musk oversees development of rockets and spacecraft for missions to Earth orbit and ultimately to other planets. SpaceX’s goal is to improve the reliability of space transportation while reducing costs in order to enable the colonization of Mars. SpaceX wasthe first private company in history to send a spacecraft to the International Space Station, and the company is currently in development on the world’s first reusable rocket—a breakthrough that will revolutionize the future of space exploration.
Prior to Tesla and SpaceX, Musk co-founded PayPal, the world’s leading Internet payment system, and served as the company’s chairman and CEO. Before PayPal, he co- founded Zip2, a provider of Internet software to the media industry.

1. You need to work super hard.
2. To attract great people(work with or hire great people)
3. Fouce on signal of noise(concentrate on what is important and don't spend energy on things that take you away from what you are doing)
4. Don't just follow the trend: rather than reasoning by analogy, you boil things down to the most fundamental truth you can image, and you reason up from there. ( be counterintuitive)
Now, it's time to take risk. Do something bold; you won't regret it.
打点鸡血，看个热闹，继续脚踏实地，仰望星空。
