- overcast 9y agoSure, but my statement stands. Life is about balance.
- logical42 9y agoFor you maybe. Probably not for Elon Musk.
- overcast 9y agoThere are only a few people per century at the level of Elon Musk. This isn't the same discussion.
- kwoff 9y ago[citation needed] There are, of course, many people "at the level" of Elon Musk. (I don't mean that flippantly, either.)
- overcast 9y agoSounds like you have that citation already on hand. Give me that list of many people doing the equivalent of sending people to Mars, changing the auto industry, and building an alternative energy empire.
- zimpenfish 9y ago> doing the equivalent of sending people to Mars Musk isn't doing that. He likes to talk about it but there are many decades of work before it becomes viable (if it ever does.)
- blablabla123 9y agoI co-founded a startup with 2 other people and really regret that I didn't quit before the thing kind of imploded after 2 years. I was one of the worst experiences in my life and at the beginning I thought like this guy: oh yeah, life is not tough enough, it needs to get harder so it's challenging and I get somewhere. I wish I had failed fast and left this horrible experience after 3 months.
