reflection

Thinking like Elon. by steve goslin

Tomasz Tunguz shares a few observations about the way Elon Musk thinks, after seeing him speak at All Things D last year.

Perhaps Musk's genius comes largly from observation. Several moments of clarity I've experienced (while not on the level of shooting people across the country in tubes or creating a competitor to Visa) have been in times of stillness and reflection rather than times of busyness. I am challenged that while there are many things to do, many things which I enjoy and am interested in, it is the discipline of pulling back that I should employ for greater advancement. I've witnessed this principal in the past, and am challenged to once again think, as much or more than I act.
