Many of his quotes are highly inspiration to me, here are 10 quotes to inspire you to DREAM BIG and innovate, like Mr Musk.

1. "I think it is possible for ordinary people to choose to be extraordinary."
2. "People work better when they know what the goal is and why. It is important that people look forward to coming to work in the morning and enjoy working."
3. "There's a silly notion that failure is not an option at NASA. Failure is an option here. If things are not failing, you are not innovating enough."
4. "When somebody has a breakthrough innovation, it is rarely one little thing. Very rarely, is it one little thing. It's usually a whole bunch of things that collectively amount to a huge innovation."
5. "If something is important enough you should try. Even if the probable outcome is failure."
6. "Persistence is very important. You should not give up unless you are forced to give up."
7. "If you go back a few hundred years, what we take for granted today would seem like magic-being able to talk to people over long distances, to transmit images, flying, accessing vast amounts of data like an oracle. These are all things that would have been considered magic a few hundred years ago."
8. "I could either watch it happen or be a part of it."
9. "Some people don't like change, but you need to embrace change if the alternative is disaster."
10. "Brand is just a perception, and perception will match reality over time. Sometimes it will be ahead, other times it will be behind. But brand is simply a collective impression some have about a product."
