Elon Musk:
1.
What surprised you the most?
It surprised me a lot that although he is a very intelligent
person, and ended up doing so many incredible things, he was actually bullied
during school, and did not have a large group of friends.
2.
What about the entrepreneur did you most admire?
The dedication that he puts into the things he does, the vision
that he possesses about the future and the things that humanity can accomplish,
and the number of hours he spends working on his projects.
3.
What about the entrepreneur did you least
admire?
That some people argue that sometimes he can be careless on
others, and even a little arrogant.
4.
Did the entrepreneur encounter adversity and
failure? If so, what did they do about it?
Yes, he did find a lot of obstacles with his first companies,
like x.com, and he was even kicked out as CEO. However, his response was to
keep innovating and creating new things, learning from the mistakes along the
way.
5.
What competencies did you notice that the
entrepreneur exhibited?
Innovation, hard work, creativity, resilience, leadership.
6.
Identify at least one part of the reading that
was confusing to you.
When the book talks about the issues with PayPal, as there
were so many things happening.
7.
If you were able to ask two questions to the
entrepreneur, what would you ask? Why?
·
If he ever dreamed about being as successful as
he is now, because I want to know if that is a mindset.
·
If he would ever diverge from the business world
to focus more on his family or personal goals, because I want to know until
what point is business and innovation the motor of his life.
8.
For fun: what do you think the entrepreneur's
opinion was of hard work? Do you share that opinion?
I do think that the only way of accomplishing things as
remarkable as the ones he has done, taking risks and working hard for them is
the only way of succeeding. To that matter, although I know one has to
sacrifice many things, I do agree with his vision.
