Elon Musk
An Inspirational Character
Introduction
In my view, we are obliged to view a certain part of our life as an investment. Since the process of integration into the social system requires our contribution based on knowledge or role performance, in order to be included as productive beings. Hence, the investment of time and resources in some specific subject becomes necessary.
"Financial success is derived from our dedication and perseverance, financial strategies and vision for the future. Taking the first step in undertaking a business venture could represent the path to a large-scale solution that can positively impact our lives, as well as, the lives of others."
First steps
It has been inspiring for me to learn more about the story of investor Elon Musk.
Who at an early age, with only 12 years old, was already dabbling in the computer area creating video games for personal consumption, which then, could negotiate for the amount of $ 500 USD, without knowing exactly, that business anticipated what would be his success as an inventor and creator of major solutions.
Family life and conflicts
I try to put myself in his place, to understand how a person who comes from a conventional family, whose parents lived through conflicts that led to divorce. Then he had to move from one city to another, attend school until he graduated from high school and moved out on his own when he was only 17 years old. Nevertheless, that teenager kept the firm idea of moving forward and materializing his dreams.
Life purposes
This background in the life of Mr. Elon Musk, made me think, that his life could become conflicted and aimless, perhaps, full of traumas and insecurity.
But on the contrary, years of struggle and financial ascent awaited him, leading him to climb the corporate and business ladder to unprecedented levels of success.
According to my own criteria, every crisis is a potential provider of solutions and lets us see that the world needs more entrepreneurs capable of promoting tenacious, transforming ideas that can change reality, turning it into a product that generates solutions for humanity.
Business success
For some time now, I had heard about companies like PayPal, SpaceX, Tesla. I admit that I had only limited knowledge about these companies and how they work.
Generally speaking;
PayPal, provides financial services for making payments, deposits and purchases over the Internet.
SpaceX, aerospace technology research and development company.
Tesla Motors, is dedicated to the automotive area, based on energy-efficient electric prototypes and environmentally friendly technology.
Elon Musk a successful entrepreneur
Well, it was my astonishment to learn that the Engineer Creator and current CEO of these companies is none other than Mr. Elon Musk.
That same young man who, in search of emancipation, left home without the support of his parents and after obtaining a scholarship for university studies, managed to graduate as an economist and physicist, deciding to start his own company in the areas of: Internet, Renewable Energy, Aerospace Science.
Final thoughts
According to my criteria, when analyzing the steps taken by Mr. Elon Musk, to determine his true advocacy, as well as, his unrestricted conviction to prepare himself professionally in a certain area of knowledge, in spite of the adversities represent his greatest strength. In addition, the research objects he has ventured into correspond to multi-million dollar revenue generating markets, which is another successful point that acts as a multiplying agent of his fortune. Definitely I have learned that, his companies leave a great contribution to humanity and it seems to me that they are 100% profitable, of high demand and enduring in time.

Hi @nachomolina.
First, many for participating in the contest, you are the first to do so, I hope not the only one. I know that this time you have to do some research, unlike the previous ones, but I think that knowing about these well known characters will always be a great gain for each of us.
He is an example this gentleman, no doubt. Most people only see the results and not the process. But recently I read that this gentleman came with very few resources to the USA from South Africa, sleeping in an office that he and his brother rented in one of the cheapest areas they could get, bathing in a gym, and you see, one of the richest men in history.
