11 Insightful and Inspiring Quotes by Elon Musk

South-African born, Canadian-American entrepreneur, inventor and engineer Elon Musk has created many big things in life.

He has founded numerous businesses, most notably Tesla, Inc. He is also well-known for his work in aviation and artificial intelligence, and has ambitions of establishing a human colony on the planet Mars. Additionally he has been recognized on Forbes list of “The World’s Most Powerful People.” 

A big dreamer and executer of his visions, Elon Musk sets a worthy example for aiming high and staying positive. Here are some of my favorite inspiring quotes by Elon Musk.

Quotes by Elon Musk:

1. “Some people don’t like change, but you need to embrace change if the alternative is disaster.”
2. “When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor.”
3. “Life is too short for long-term grudges.”
4. “If you get up in the morning and think the future is going to be better, it is a bright day. Otherwise, it’s not.”
5. “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.”
6. “People should pursue what they’re passionate about. That will make them happier than pretty much anything else.”
7. “Really, the only thing that makes sense is to strive for greater collective enlightenment.”
8. “If anyone thinks they’d rather be in a different part of history, they’re probably not a very good student of history. Life sucked in the old days. People knew very little, and you were likely to die at a young age of some horrible disease. You’d probably have no teeth by now. It would be particularly awful if you were a woman.”
9. “There’s a silly notion that failure’s not an option at NASA. Failure is an option here. If things are not failing, you are not innovating enough.”
10. “When I was in college, I wanted to be involved in things that would change the world.”
11. “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.”
