Elon Musk, Tesla Motors and SpaceX CEO, discussed his new tunnel digging project and latest Tesla and SpaceX developments in a TED interview. He also gave a brilliant piece of advice that underlined the importance of moving forward and never stopping. Summed up in one sentence, it was — “If you’re not progressing, you’re regressing; so, keep moving forward.”
lon Musk doesn’t want to slow down, and that’s a good thing. He is working to take humans to mars, pushing the sustainable energy movement, building electric cars, and boring ground to solve the traffic problems. Overall, today, he’s one of busiest persons in tech.
However, Musk knows how to manage his schedule like a pro and keeps giving different talks and interviews to share his vision with others. Recently, at a TED conference, he shared updates on his projects and gave an awesome career advice.
At the conference, Musk also talked about SpaceX and how many people view it as a distraction. He said that the U.S. space program is heading in the wrong direction. He added that people are often mistaken by thinking that technology just automatically improves.
“It does not automatically improve. It only improves if a lot of people work very hard to make it better, and actually it will, I think, by itself degrade, actually,” he added.
He further gave examples of the great Egyptian civilization that build pyramids. But, they forgot to do that. Same goes for Romans who build incredible aqueducts.
This is a brilliant piece of advice that anyone can use and be inspired. Inc. has summed up this advice in a single sentence. Here it is:
“If you’re not progressing, you’re regressing; so, keep moving forward.”
So, it doesn’t matter how difficult or easy your goals are, you just need to move forward. It allows you to learn new things and adds invaluable experience.
