Yesterday, Elon Musk’s SpaceX company completed a test launch that was an important milestone in the development of commercial human spaceflight; Amazon today announced a project with Visa to link credit cards to palm prints; and this week the Kansas City Chiefs football team began preparations for their first Super Bowl in 50 years. The oddsmakers wouldn’t have bet on any of these happening and yet the people behind each continue on anyways. Most of us never get to do anything that important, but our own goals are sometimes just as aspirational. Like trying for a new job: there’s a lot of competition but you could be just as qualified as anyone if you put your mind to it; or working on a budget or strategic plan for the first time: you’re never sure if you can, but then you complete it; or going back to school to learn a new trade or get a degree: you may not think you’re able to be a student but the results will be worth the effort… being passionate about something helps even the odds and lighten the load. Don’t shy away from making a big bet today.
Elon Musk (b. 1971): Engineer and technology entrepreneur (PayPal, Tesla and more)
