"After reading 'Life by Me' in one sitting, I made a decision: to put this book on the most accessible layer of the bookcase in my living room forever and put a beautiful label on it.
The children who attract me will be able to read them one day in the future, and this is my blessing to them.
Every woman should have this book on her shelf.
Of course, I wish my daughters all the best in this life. But if they have to face hardships and challenges, I hope they will have at least one-tenth of Mayer Musk's courage and energy. ”
And Mayer Musk is also a person, after reading the recommendation and preface of this book, I have a strong urge to get to know her.
Wonderful life resume
She made her debut at the age of 15, married at the age of 22, became a bankrupt single mother at the age of 31, and then moved to live in nine cities in three countries.
She is in her 40s and works as a cover model for the health section of Time magazine.
In her 60s, she returned to modeling, becoming the face of the best-selling makeup brand in the United States at the age of 69, and once appeared on four billboards in New York's Times Square.
She is also a 72-year-old "Internet celebrity" and an inspirational idol in the eyes of many women.
She is best known as the "Iron Man of Silicon Valley" and the mother of Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla, but she is also the queen of her own life.
She holds two master's degrees and is a well-known Canadian dietitian and a speaker who spreads health.
While she has been single for 40 years, she has independently cultivated the three siblings of Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla, and have become talents.
When she was 71 years old, she published "Life by Me".
She is also the grandmother of 11 grandchildren, beautiful, intelligent, free, powerful, and successful.
Reading insights
It's hard to imagine that she has suffered from domestic violence for nine years, has been rejected countless times in her career, and even lost confidence in life countless times.
She said in the preface to "Life by Me"."I hope that when my dear readers read this book, they will experience less pain from struggle and more joy at being spared than I do. ”
I was shocked by her legendary introduction and the twists and turns of her life story, and I am glad I knew and read this book.
I think that in the next reading, I will definitely get a lot of inspiration and insights from her story, and take a serious look at my own life.
In his foreword, he said: I have experienced repeated blows of fate in my life, which made me have to plan ahead and think carefully every time.
And this is thanks to ".Good farmers are good at planningThis Afrikaans phrase grew up with her.
Tell us that there is no big or small plan, as long as you are well prepared, no matter what the obstacle is, you must go all out, give it a go, and find the best solution to overcome the difficulties.
She has repeatedly reversed and rebuilt her life, and has lived in 9 cities in 3 countries, which also shows her curiosity, willingness to explore the unknown world, and brave and resolute character.
It also tells us that people who dare to take risks can often get a more wonderful and happy life.
Like she said:"Life is full of problems and surprises, you just need to plan the first step. Start with your first step, one step at a time, and keep moving forward. ”
A planned life is a prepared and purposeful life, which allows us to face and move forward fearlessly no matter how big the difficulties and setbacks we encounter, and strive to pursue the dreams in our hearts.
Dong Yuhui said:"You don't know what the right direction is, but if you don't go out, the origin is the end, as long as you go out, maybe there will be new encounters. ”
The reason why some people live a tangled life is because they are afraid of bearing the consequences of uncertainty, so they think about it and are always unable to take the first step.
But if you don't take action, your dreams will only stay in fantasy, and taking action, even if there is only a little bit of practical action every day, is the best response and farewell to mediocre life.
Therefore, it is better to act than to move, and it is better to act once if you think about it 10,000 times. Stand still and spin, you will never be far away.
I believe in the power of time, in the blessings of accumulation, and in Mayer Musk's saying that "the harder you work, the luckier you get".
As long as you take one step at a time, work hard to improve yourself and keep moving forward, you will definitely be able to achieve everything you want.
Improve yourself and work hard to move forward
When Mayer Musk is in trouble, she reads a lot of love ** or motivational books, which have given her infinite hope.
Maugham said: ".Reading is a portable refuge. ”
This book "Life by Me" shares her life experience, which will definitely bring hope, emotion and encouragement to everyone, and make everyone feel that life is full of countless possibilities, the world is worth it, and the future can be expected.
As Mayer Musk said:"If you have a good mindset, plan well, and take risks, all your wishes can come true, even if your wish is to fly to Mars! ”
A single mother, who has achieved a wonderful self, raised three successful children, and at the age of 71, is still active in the career stage.
For me, as a single mother, although I have also experienced a lot of setbacks and tribulations, compared to her, I have no reason to say that I am hard and helpless.
Mayer Musk's story tells us: life is in the world, the world is impermanent, no one's life will be smooth sailing, there will always be hardships and twists and turns.
Only by constantly experiencing and improving yourself, making a good life plan, working hard, and having the courage to fight, you will have the confidence and courage to overcome difficulties, and then achieve yourself.
Therefore, if you regard suffering as a physical and mental experience, cultivate a positive attitude, and hone a strong will, you will be brave and brave to move forward and live your own wonderful and beautiful future.
Write at the end
Teacher Sun Siyuan said about Mayer Musk's evaluation:"She is as powerful as a queen on the outside, but her life has not been smooth sailing, which is especially moving; After going through ups and downs, I left for half my life, and when I returned, I still had the independence and open-mindedness of 'life is up to me'. ”
There is no smooth sailing life in the world, only the courage and faith to move forward bravely and work hard.
There are thousands of scenes in the world, joys and sorrows, ups and downs, only through experience and experience can we strengthen ourselves and achieve ourselves.
Read other people's stories and think about your own life. Every time I read, I am an awakening, a realization, and a deep reflection.
Reading the preface, there is a throbbing that touches the bottom of my heart, and makes me admire her, worship her, and learn from her.
I am not yet 60 years old, and I should strive to live every day, even if I make a little progress every day, I am also responsible for my best and the best response to life.
I really agree with what Mr. Tuo Buhua said:Every woman should have this book on her shelf.
