The Earth is too small for someone like Elon Musk. His dreams are beyond an ordinary man’s as he visualizes setting up a business where no man ever has – the moon.
Elon has shown potential since he was young. At age 12, he sold Blastar, a computer game he himself developed, but even though he showed incredible talent, he did not quite fit in with his peers.
Nevertheless, Elon continued to pursue knowledge through books, even finishing volumes of encyclopedias.
それにもかかわらず、イーロンは本を通して知識を追求し続け、百科事典の量を完読しました。
すごい量の勉強をしたということです。
やっぱり、偉大な経営者は読書家が多い。
百科事典と同じぐらいの量の読書をしたということ。
もともと賢いのに、これだけ勉強すると、もっと賢くなります。
Elon left South Africa for Canada when he was 17, and studied in Queen’s University in Ontario. He then, proceeded to go to the US later on and took business and physics at the University of Pennsylvania, where he graduated with flying colors.
By 1995, he and his brother launched Zip2, a company that developed city guides online for newspaper publishers. After Zip2 was sold in 1999, he co-founded X.com which later merged with Confinity and became Paypal.
SolarCity was funded by Musk to create a source of alternative energy, but his vision was not limited to solar panels when he founded Tesla, an avant-garde vehicle maker.
Elon continued to innovate towards his wildest dreams by working in the automotive, space, financial, and artificial intelligence fields and aiming for the colonization of Mars. Truly, he is a man who dreams big.
He had founded a lot of companies. Zip2 which a company that developed city guides online for newspaper publishers, X.com which later merged with Confinity and became Paypal, SolarCity which creates a source of alternative energy, Tesla which is a avant-garde vehicle maker, Space X which partnered with NASA to develop further technology.
彼は多くの会社を設立しました。 新聞社向けのシティガイドをオンラインで開発したZip2、後にConfinityと合併してPaypalとなったX.com、代替エネルギー源を生み出すSolarCity、前衛的な自動車メーカーであるTesla、NASAと提携したSpace X さらなる技術を開発する。
Terryさんも答えとして問題ないと言ってくれました。
僕が、テスラを飛ばしていたと思ったみたいで、テスラもあるね。と言っていましたが…。
いずれにしても、それぞれ相当の価値のある会社を作っています。
普通の人は、1つの会社も作ることができないのに、レベルが違います。
次の質問に移ります。
How do you think his experiences in different fields helped him as a businessman? How about as a product developer?
Off course, his experiences in different fields helped him as a businessman, I think. To start up a new business is really difficult thing for ordinary people. But Elon had did it several times already. The experiences in different fields are definitely helped him as a product developer, I think.
Do you think Elon Musk’s dream is a realistic one? Why?
イーロン・マスクの夢は現実的なものだと思いますか? どうして?
ふつうの人にとっては、現実的ではなくても、彼にとっては現実的なんだろうと思います。
でも、夢に描くことがなければ、実現することは決してないです。
だから、夢を描いて実現を目指すことは大事だと思います。
そんなことを答えようと思います。
For ordinary people his dreams are not realistic ones, but for Elon they are realistic, I think. However, to have a dream is very important, because if we didn’t have a dream, we would not progress forward.
If you were given a chance to choose another field of work, what would you choose and why?
別の分野を選択する機会が与えられた場合、何を選択し、その理由を教えてください。
何だろう。
でも、海外が基本的に好きなので、海外にかかわる仕事が楽しいと思います。
I like to go to abroad. So, I would choose the business which I can go to a lot of countries frequently. And I want to have relationship with foreign countries people.
I wanted to be a pilot. The risk was that it was not easy to get the license. I needed a lot of money to gain the pilot license. So, if I had wanted be a pilot, I had to join the airlines, or national flight university. If I had a lot of money, I would pursue to be a pilot, but it is also difficult to have a airplane. When I would be rich enough, I will pursue be a pilot.
Your expressions and attitude is like music to my ears. I especially liked the fact that you immediately tried to apply the new expressions we learned today. Let’s keep allowing changes to redefine us on this journey. Great efforts Ko!
