Can you do it all?
Yes.
I ask myself this question a lot. Can I actually do it all? I discovered someone who has inspired to believe the answer is yes - Elon Musk.  Elon Musk is a 40 year old billionaire - that actually believes in solving problems for humanity to have a brighter future. He's chief designer and CTO of SpaceX, launching the first private spacecraft on 4/30 to dock at the International Space Station - He co-founded Tesla Motors that's creating the finest sleekest electric cars on the market - He is the chairman of SolarCity, what he calls the largest solar power company in the U.S., and founded and sold PayPal before he was 30. He does seem super-human, but it's people like this that truly remind us --> Believe in Yes. |
