Reading Reflection


1      This biography really left me in awe, it described how amazing and different Elon Musks minds works in comparison to most peoples all the way from the time he was a boy analyzing all aspects ranging from his personality to his business ventures. What surprises me the most about Elon is his main goal which is ensuring the future of mankind. This is also the aspect of Elon I admire the most which in essence is selflessness in relation to most of the other notable entrepreneurs. If I really had to choose something about Elon Musk I admire the least it would be his indecisiveness of keeping a company and growing it instead of jumping around a bunch of different ideas I believe he does not allow the companies he creates to reach maximum potential under his name. It was very difficult to find any failure in Elons career, however, despite him being the perfect student and a great businessman there were hard days but just as any noticeable entrepreneur he never gave up.
2      The main competencies which in my opinion are the most notable from Elon Musk is the technical mind he acquires. Meaning he does not only know how to run a business perfectly and obtain people skills but none the less he also understands the technicalities of undergoing a process where he brings the human race in to outer space.
3      One of the most difficult aspects to understand about the book is Elon Musks perspective on life, it is difficult to merge a humanitarian ideology with a rich mans but it seems to me Elon is able to comprehend both sides of the spectrum.
4      One of the questions I would as Elon is “What was the hardest thing you had to overcome in your career?” and the other question would be “If there is anything you could take back what would it be?” the reason why I would ask him these questions is because I believe his answers have a lot to do with who he really is at his core, something I am very curious and would love to understand.
5      I believe Elons idea of had work is to never give up and do the hard things in life, the things most people deem to hard to do so they don’t even try it. Elon never stopped persisting his ideas and now he is closer to Mars than the United States government itself. I most definitely share the same opinions based on hard work, however, I do believe everyone’s mind works in different ways.

  1. Ricardo, I like your choice of entrepreneur to read about, I believe that Elon Musk is one of the great entrepreneurs of our time. I think your review is a very accurate description of him, specifically when you describe his competencies and his idea of hard work. I believe that Elon Musk is a very determined person and, clearly, refuses to give up even after experiencing failure such as issues with SpaceX rockets.
