So without further ado, let's begin with today's story.

Story 1- Always Be Optimistic and Never Quit

?Elon Musk, an extraordinary business man, a philanthropist, an engineer. No combination of 26 letters can describe his achievements and his unconventional ways of thinking.

?His parents stated that he had a photographic memory. He grasped everything he read. His parents got separated when he was 10 years old. He could have taken it as an excuse to give up but in just 2 more years he invented a space fighting video game named 'blaster'. In the age of 20, he invented Paypal . This company was purchased by eBay. He didn't stop there, by the age of 28, he formed 2 more companies -Tesla and SpaceX.

?These 2 companies were not made to make profit or do business but to serve 2 major concerns or threats for mankind.

?Tesla was made to manufacture electric cars because Elon was concerned that after continuous usage of fossil fuels we will not be left with any alternative. He also noticed that 5 major extinctions that happened in past and wanted to prepare for 6th extinction. For that he wanted people to become multi-planetary. He wanted to make it possible for humankind to even live in space. For that he came up with SpaceX.

?He wanted some help in building rockets so he went to Russia where he was mocked. One of the administrators even spit on his face. But he wasn't disheartened. He achieved a goal that was not possible for even NASA and ROSCOSMOS. He also launched reusable satellites to provide internet access to even remote areas of world.

?After three continuous failures in launching rockets, Elon was asked in an interview," Did you ever think that it's time for pack-up?" To which Elon replied. “No". He stated that he never gives up. he either has to be dead or paralyzed to stop trying . Otherwise, he never gives up.

?Moral:-

• Success is a game of patience of Hard work. Students want best grades but work half-heartedly to achieve it and when they score less; they blame it on their teachers and coaching.
• ?Topper demands excellence from within whereas an average students demand excellence first from his teachers, other resources and then himself.
• What else we learn from this story is to think out of the box. Elon Musk whereas represented thinking beyond the box. He developed unconventional ways to make his dreams come true.

?The mere difference between Talent is genius is Talent hits a target that nobody can hit but Genius hits a target that nobody can see.
