Some people are naturally tossing, and some people are gentle and flat. The reasons for this difference, in addition to heredity, many of the influences from the family, or childhood experiences can make a person or destroy a person.
Elon came from a very adventurous family as a child, his grandfather was born in Canada, but traveled the world. Not only is the journey rich, his work experience is also spread across many industries. After earning enough money, Elon's grandfather started his own trip around the world, and fiddled with the plane and traveled in his own plane. Eventually, settled in South Africa. Said to be settled, in fact, just find a place to make some money, and then continue to travel. Elon's grandfather became the first person in the world to fly a single-engine plane from Africa to Australia. Although, in the end Elon's grandfather also died during the trip. But it was perhaps his most willing way.
Elon's parents divorced when he was a child. For personal reasons, his parents are rarely mentioned in this book. Maybe it was an unpleasant experience between him and his father. Anyway, we have no way of knowing. The only thing that is known is that his parents' interest in him has never been laissez-faire, or unstoppable. Although Elon is often bullied at school, he has made a name for himself in the local computer programming field since elementary school. Then, he made the first big choice in his life. When I went to study in Canada, I ignored the opposition of my family, contacted a distant cousin in Canada, and then went to Canada alone. I traveled in Canada while working and then went to college, but after two years, I went to the University of Pennsylvania to major in a double major. Elon can be described as "like a duck in water" in college, and found a group of like-minded friends. Since then, Elon's tossing road has gotten out of hand.
Elon's grandfather taught his children a laissez-faire model, and Elon's parents inherited it. Elon's mother has been an academic bully since she was a child, but she has also chosen many careers, including models and actors. Elon also seems to have inherited his mother's IQ. When learning new knowledge, he is faster than ordinary people, and the speed of learning is also very fast.
When Elon was a child, he read a lot of books, and from reading comics or some children's books, he established the original vision, that is, to go to space, or to use clean energy to save the earth. It can be said that Musk's vision of life began to sprout from his childhood. It is uncertain whether his original motivation for starting TESLA and SPACEX came from a childhood wish. But, this is indeed a very grand vision for humanity. If you consider purely business operations, you will definitely not choose these directions to start a business. Therefore, in the process of starting Elon's business, he encountered enormous pressure and difficulties that ordinary people may never encounter in their entire lives.
Elon, earning his first pot of gold depends on his adventurous spirit. Including the creation of a website similar to the Yellow Pages and PayPal. And what I'm trying to say is that if Elon's free will was severely suppressed when he was a kid, or if his family environment didn't give him the right to do things according to his sense of self, Elon might not think about ordinary people when he grew up. An unthinkable creation.
I'm not trying to praise Elon's entrepreneurship, how he overcame many difficulties and how he withstood layers of pressure. Reach admirable achievements. Rather, I wanted to use Elon's life experience to understand the important factors that must be paid attention to when educating children. When a child begins to have self-awareness, we need to fully allow a child to gain self-confidence from free-conscious behavior. Then in the future growth process, he will be a person with self-thinking ability and high subjective initiative. And how important is the ability of independent thinking in the adult world, it is almost a door for a person to understand and find himself. Motivation, on the other hand, is a necessary condition for how high a person can achieve.
Then, my harvest is that when educating children, I need to accept the children's behavior and convert them into positive energy to output to the children. Understand your child's behavior and be a strong backer when they need support. Likewise, there are rewards for self-management. First, you have to be diligent, and then there are factors such as IQ, luck, etc.
