熟讀深思
“He always communicated the importance of being lean and of success, but it was never ‘if we fail, we’re done for.’ He was very optimistic.”
Elon從不掩飾自己對勝利和成功的渴望和追求，而且但凡是他認定的，沒有失敗的說法，有的就是各種方法實現(xiàn)，就是死磕到把事情做成自己想要的，而且要快，要好，要更高等級，從來不停歇。第六章是Rocket公司從無到有，從單槍匹馬到幾百高端人才的大公司，這里面作者是很客觀地說明了Musk是如何一步步走出來的。而且整個這一段，很少出現(xiàn)Elon自己的語言，無論是在哪一個階段，見到了什么人，遇到事情他怎么做出回應(yīng)的，幾乎所有的都是從雇員口中講述。而我們很容易發(fā)現(xiàn)這些雇員在講到自己和Elon的第一次見面，第一次聽他構(gòu)思rocket公司的與眾不同，他們內(nèi)心毫不掩飾的心動。就像是伯牙聽到鐘子期回答，“善哉，峨峨兮若泰山；善哉，洋洋兮若江河?！保K遇知音的不可抑制地內(nèi)心顫動。這就是自己可以一展才華的地方。Elon無法控制自己對高標準的苛求和高人才的渴望，這里就顯示了他的兩面性。而相對在前兩次創(chuàng)業(yè)中展示的缺點，這次倒顯得溫和一些，也許是他的優(yōu)勢太強勢，在這次rocket發(fā)射中，沒有他的鼓勵和堅持，真的無法快速的完成。
Elon值得我們學習的地方太多。

overpriced: something that is overpriced is more expensive than it should be.
