“When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not...” — Elon Musk Quote

“When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor.”

“I think it’s important to reason from first principles rather than by analogy. The normal way we conduct our lives is we reason by analogy. [With analogy] we are doing this because it’s like something else that was done, or it is like what other people are doing. [With first principles] you boil things down to the most fundamental truths…and then reason up from there.”

“If you don't make the time to work on creating the life you want, you're eventually going to be forced to spend a LOT of time dealing with a life you don't want.”

“Father has a strengthening character like the sun and mother has a soothing temper like the moon.”
