ELON MUSK SPEECH | Find A Reason To Get Up In The Morning

ELON MUSK SPEECH

 what's your mission life why you do whatever you do sure well first of all uh thank you for having me it's an honor to be here um and we're having a really really great time with my kids in in dubai it's really been fantastic i really encourage anyone who hasn't been to to visit uh what a great city thank you what's your mission life why you do whatever you do uh sure well first of all uh thank you for having me it's an honor to be here um and we're having a really really great time with my kids in in dubai it's really been fantastic i really encourage anyone who hasn't been to to visit uh what a great city thank you scope and scale of human consciousness the better we are able to ask these questions and so i think that there are certain things that are necessary to ensure that the future is good and some of those things are in the long term having long-term sustainable transport and sustainable energy generation and to be a space-bearing civilization and for humanity to be out there among the stars and be a multi-planetary 

species i think the being a multi-planet species and being out there among the stars is important for the long-term survival of humanity and that's one reason kind of like life insurance for life collectively life as we know it but then the part that i find personally most motivating is that it creates a sense of adventure and it makes people excited about the future if you consider two futures one where we 

are forever confined to earth until eventually something terrible happens or another future where we are out there on many planets maybe even going beyond the solar system i think that second version is incredibly exciting and inspiring and there need to be reasons to get up in the morning you know life can't just be about solving problems otherwise what's the point there's got to be things that people find inspiring and make life worth living and you know always taking the position that you are some degree wrong and your goal is to be less wrong over time one of the biggest mistakes people generally make and i'm guilty of it too is wishful thinking you know like you 

want something to be true even if it isn't true um and so you ignore the things that uh you ignore the real truth because of what you want to be true um this is a very difficult trap to avoid um and like i said certainly one that i find myself in having problems with but if you just take that approach of you're always to some degree wrong and your goal is to be less wrong and and solicit critical feedback particularly from friends like friends particularly friends if somebody loves you they want the best for you they don't want to tell you the bad things so you have to ask them you know and said really i really do want to know and then they'll tell you thank you very much you
