27A – Reading Reflection No. 3

Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future, Ashlee Vance

 To me, this book was extremely amazing to read, mostly because I really admire Elon Musk and I'm a great fan of his job. He is a revolutionizer and is someone that society should admire as ma whole. i think he should be admired because he leads the world most biggest space shuttle companies which is SpaceX.

What I admire the most about Elon is that he does things in order to help the humanity as whole. i believe he is successful because he keeps his ideas unique and he has his own thinking criteria and is not easy influenced by what other people say. He's had a clear goal since he was in college, alleviating our dependence on oil and make us a multi-planetary species.

Elon Musk has been labeled and obsessive and compulsive in his line of job, but i can't blame him with so much job in his shoulders. I don't think he would be were he is right now if it wouldn't be for his decisiveness. I the book Ashley Vance confirms how difficult the journey has been for Musk, his first launches failed, and most people didn't even believe in him, until he finally was able to land.

I really enjoyed the reading, I think he's had an interesting life so far, and that he is going to accomplish many more things in his life.

 If I had the opportunity to ask Musk 2 questions, they would be:

 1) What was that kept you motivated thought the years even though you had many failures?

 2) Some people may label you as impulsive, and obsessive, what would you respond to them?

 I believe Elon Musk is an outstanding human being and that his attitude can be reflected in his hard work.

    Hi Juan,
    I think you did a great job with your post. I didn't read this book but I admire what Elon Musk has done as well. He seems like a very hard worker and someone who is extremely dedicated to his line of work. If you want to be as successful as him, you almost have to be obsessive. Great post and thanks for sharing.

26A – Celebrating Failure

1) Thought this semester, there has been many times in which I think i'm not going to hold more, that it's to difficult for me and that I needed to give up. Wether it was this class or the other there has been challenges this semester. In this class I've mostly learned that things must be handed on time. I have missed a couple of assignments because of the date, for example the cupcake which is at 12pm on Mondays was easy to miss when I first started this class. I also struggled with the URL submitting, sometimes things are not hard, but they demand responsibility, that's something I've learned in this class. Also in my marketing class, I've taken tree difficult exams and it has not been easy. The first exam I didn't do well, so I studied the most I could for the second and third and now i'm on the road to a better grade in both classes. 2) This failure taught me that I have to be patient and consistant in life, if I wouldn't have had patience when...
