Be of Service and you will do well in life

“One of SpaceX’s biggest goals, Shotwell said, was to fly as often as possible. The company has never sought to make a fortune off each flight. It would rather make a little on each launch and keep the flights flowing.

― Ashlee Vance, Elon Musk: Inventing the Future

do more be nicer, do it cheaply do it faster or just be nicer. That is the formula do do well in life


I am not yet done with Ashlee Vance book but one take i have now is this , if you do something for your customers you will do well. Musk has done wonderful for their customers.




. Even the comments from readers about the book are good..............

One of the most inspiring books I have ever read. A few life changing points for me:

1) First intro chapter shows how relentless the author was. Great lesson there. He didn't ask for permission, he just went out and wrote it. Said he was going to write it with or without him on board. Which ultimately won Elon's respect since that's how he operates too.

2) Elon and his brother Kimbal coming over at 18 years old from south Africa. Their tactic about picking up the newspaper and cold calling the most interesting people to take to lunch is awesome. I challenge myself to do this now and I think its a great strategy to get out of your comfort zone. I gather he had the idea for pay pal with that tactic - it landed him the bank internship where he discovered the inefficiencies of banking world.
