It turns out that Musk loves reading so much, tell me the story of his childhood and books:
I'm not going to put a lot of energy into things that I don't think make sense," Elon said, "I'd rather read a book or play video games." ”
Reading is one of Elon's spiritual sustenance. Sometimes he would spend an entire afternoon and most of the evening reading, and he would read for nine hours. When he goes to someone's house for dinner with his family, he will soak in the master's study.
When he goes into town, he wanders around, and his family often ends up finding him in bookstores — sitting on the floor, immersed in his own world.
It seems that reading is not only his spiritual sustenance, but also a channel for him to seek knowledge. He can immerse himself in books for up to 9 hours, whether it is a study at home or a bookstore in the city, ** is not his paradise. 】
He also has a deep study of comics, and he is impressed by the desperate enthusiasm of superheroes.
Elon said: "They always want to save the world, but they will wear ** outside or in tight iron suits, if you think about it, you will think ** weird, but they are really trying to save the world." ”
He has humorous questions about superhero outfits, but the spirit of superheroes influences him deeply. 】
Elon finished reading both of his father's encyclopedias. The two women in the family, his mother and his sister, both favored him, and in their eyes, he was a "genius boy". However, in the eyes of other children, he is a nasty nerd. My cousin exclaimed, "Look at the moon, it's a million miles away." Elon replied, "No, probably 23."90,000 miles, depending on the orbit of the Moon. [It is conceivable that this scholar has a lot of eyes on his cousin].
He found a book in his father's office describing the great inventions that would come in the future. "When I came back from school, I would go to a side room in my father's office and read the book over and over again," he says. "One of the ideas in the book was to power a rocket with an ion thruster, which used particles instead of gaseous fuel as thrust. Musk confessed to his biographer: "That book made me think about the landing of humans on other planets for the first time." ”
The readings he had been obsessed with since childhood, whether they were encyclopedias or books about the future of technology, had a profound impact on him. These reading experiences, which gave him intellectual power, not only shaped his worldview, but also laid a solid foundation for his future success. ️
