看过这样一句话印象非常深：“When it feels scary to jump, that is exactly when you jump. Otherwise, you end up staying in the same place your whole life.” 很多时候我们都在等待一个万事俱备的时机来开始一件事情，但往往导致的结果是这件事情还没有开始就已经结束了。还记得大一的时候有个非常牛的律所招实习生，但由于担心自己学历太浅没有优势就想着再过两年申请，两年以后又由于种种的原因导致自己从未给这家心仪已久的律所投过简历。“明日复明日，明日何其多。日日待明日，万事成蹉跎。” 人真的有种懒惰和胆怯的天性，所以敦促自己去实现一个目标的最好方式就是迈出第一步，不管这一步多么的随便和潦草，因为只有迈出了第一步才能给自己斩断后路逼迫自己前行。

今天终于说到了大家熟知的特斯拉了。原来电动车并不是Musk的创意，而是他投资了几个小伙子的创意。不过当时更多的人完全是不看好电动车的，所以他们很难找到投资人。但是Musk一听到这个想法就激动不已，因为电动车这个概念在他脑中已经植入了多年。而这几个年轻人恰好将他的想法付诸了实践，可谓是一拍即合。
