向终生学习者——埃隆马斯克致敬
今天一早,海外的媒体肯定是被埃隆马斯克和他的FH刷屏了。
这个有梦想的男人不像某些在PPT上忽悠“为梦想窒息”,而是真正的用实际行动将他旗下的特斯拉跑车送上了太空,更牛的是,他让我们这代人太空漫游之梦触手可及。
然而我真正欣赏的是之前看到的一篇文章,说埃隆马斯克也是一位终生学习者。
在宾夕法尼亚大学学习经济学和物理学双学位的他,在工作中选择的是互联网、可再生资源和太空探索这三个领域。
当被问起“你是如何学会制造火箭的。”
他只是简单地说一句:
“I read a lot of books。”
...简直就是用尽全力地毫不费力好么!
关于他推荐的书单,中文搜索页面上千奇百怪,有9本,有12本,开爸搜了谷歌——

为何都是英文而不翻译成中文译名呢,从我有限的经历和经验来看,信息在传递的时候都会发生衰减,最好就是读原版,这样也是给自己一个学习的机会。
向梦想家致敬,向终生学习者致敬
