Wise words from Elon Musk, who has found the odds to be in his favor more often than naught!

Those are my kind of odds Myrl Jeffcoat

Those words have a lot more meaning since Elon Musk said them.  I can remember thinking about investing in Tesla quite some time ago.  There was so much negative press and so many saying Tesla was going to go bankrupt that I stayed away.  When you beat the odds, you are rewarded handsomely.

Paul, even though it may not proceed immediate positive results, it could down the road!

Good morning, Paul... if anyone understands this, it's Elon Musk! When someone drags their feet on something, it's clear they are not that interested or committed to something.

I like your thought process Nina Hollander, Broker

Good morning Paul. You can assure failure if you don't try. Elon Musk would rather face failure after trying. He chooses wisely! Enjoy your day.

Hello Paul - I was a bit surprised to not find a comment from Brian England who is the resident AR (and self-described) "Elon Fan Boy".   As many of us know, it's easy to miss things on ActiveRain as the blog roll is often full of things (like posts and such) that charge our batteries in different ways.

You constantly open my mind to several possibilities Michael Jacobs

Hi Paul - those like Musk likes the odds and believed in themselves and had breakthroughs.

Hi Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, CRS, this is so true. If we take a minute to think about it, we probably weren't that interested to begin with.

We can all learn from Elon's genius Beth Atalay

Michael Jacobs is correct, I am definitely a big fan of Elon Musk, he is doing great things for the world and isn't afraid to try things that seem impossible!
