人物：我们从Elon Musk身上可以学得些什么

What can we learn from Elon Musk?Stefano Ganddini, I've been called a "black-belt life optimizer" by my alma mater. USC '15.Updated Aug 30, 2016Elon Musk spoke at my university's graduation last year.Obviously, I attended. But, after his speech was over I couldn’t help but think, “That’s it?”His secrets to success were the following:Work super hard.Attract great people.Focus on the things that actually make a difference.Don’t just follow the trend.Take risks.While these are all great points, he didn’t say a single thing I hadn’t heard before.I was expecting something more. Something new and life-changing. Something that I would be able to go home and write an entire blog post about.But instead I got the same advice I’ve heard over and over again. The only difference was that this time it was coming from a man who currently sits on top of two billion dollar companies.We like to think that there is some sort of secret formula to success. That all successful people have found this secret and that is why they are successful.Obviously, Elon Musk is a brilliant man, and most of us will never achieve anything close to what he has achieved.But, the truth is, there is no secret formula to success.We all know what we have to do to succeed. We’ve heard it all before...Work hard, work smart, surround yourself with the right people, and don't be afraid to take risks.That's it.
