Part 2:Summary
From chapter 1 to chapter 5,we experience the growth of Elon Musk,mainly including his experience of grown-up and founding enterprise.
Elon Musk, a boy fancying science, was born at an adventurous family in South Africa.He didn't have a pleasant childhood.On the ground of dedicating himself to read large amounts of books and always ignoring others,he was not welcomed by his peer in elementary and high school,even be drubbed.
In the course of his life,it was consequential to set out to Canada for Elon.On the one hand,Musk became more ambitious in college,studying business,involving competition and releasing five papers about solar power technology.In the end,he earned the praise of some professors.On the other hand,with his consistent efforts,he won Justine over,his ex-wife.Meanwhile,he encountered some like-minded people and took part in party with his friends.It was a little improvement for Elon, a straight-laced dude.
After graduated from college,he had established two start-ups from scratch with his brother, Kimbal, a charismatic and personable man.One is Zip 2,a Global Link Information Network company founded in 1995;another is X.com,a full-service online financial institution founded in 1989. In this period,he struck in difficult position and solved it without any flinching,such as the shortage of finance,establishment of a professional team and the challenge of board.etc.It was a painful and meaningful experience for him.Not just he has been successful in his career,but he changed his character in the team work.
Self-confident,perseverance and ambition are of necessary ingredients in Elon's growth and success.
Part 3:
@9月读书：9月读书第一周，和8月份相比，词汇和阅读量都增大了，第一天花了5个多小时读书、查词、写笔记，内心些许崩溃。第二天读经济学人的时候，看到了“ a gargantuan "tax inversion".from scratch 等”瞬间有点激动，晚上阅读的时候换了策略：标记不懂的词，尽量猜，形容词动词全章出现两次查义，三次及以上标记，写读书笔记的时候再选几个详细查，看讨论群里小伙伴分享时复制笔记中比较好且自己需要的词语，最后再整理到书上，省了一大半的时间，效率更高。可能如Eric因为作者以前是经济学人供稿者，所以每天读书或者读经济学人的时候一些词频繁遇见，“不情愿”的认识了，感觉这算语境习词吧。
分享：
①不要完美主义，二八原则才美好，每天阅读学会80%就好，滤过的都是不重要，重要的还会遇见不会错过。不要像Elon那样太有战斗力，高强工作适合Elon，毕竟他是把轻松的度假度成“劫”的Musk，我们要找到适合自己的方式用力；
②讨论群也是一个团队，认识自己不足，相互学习和进步，刻意输出、取己所需、知识嫁接，谢谢评论建议和纠正；感觉很庆幸Eric不像Elon，不然读书群会不会变为技术化产出的英语工厂；
③把精力花在成长和进步，每天自己笔记输出就值得点赞，有精力多一点时间紧少一点，木有楚汐笔记那么优秀，但可以向她多多学习，不断进步，不能妄自菲薄。当认识到自己不足时，要有Elon那种从不怀疑自己能力的魄力和勇气以及一步步努力达到真正与之匹配的能力。 "As far as Musk was concerned, they were all wrong, and he set out to prove his point with what would end up being even more dramatic results."
④第一天花5-6小时读书，还有看经济学人感觉耽误复习专业课等时间，一丝动摇念头飘过；写作很不好想看写作书提高，写Summary的时候觉得这是叙述类的可以看看相关写作书的讲解，上一轮读书写Summary的时候觉得这是论述类的可以看看相关写作，想了好久也一直只停留在想...看看这周读到的Elon，Do or die but don't give up，行动迅速果断创立公司也是几个月的事！感觉很庆幸Eric像Elon，秒秒钟建立打卡群读单词书。平庸于想，优秀于做。学着PEAK中所学细分目标，积极反馈修正方法提高自己英文写作水平。
⑤个人觉得读英语学习类PDF文件Marginnote Pro做笔记很nice，标记、复习、搜索笔记都很方便，还阔以直接下载书籍，关键！支持生成Anki卡片～～有需可以尝试下。
