Hey,
He was bullied so much at school that he was once thrown down a flight of stairs, then beaten until he was unconscious and hospitalized.
But despite the outsider tag he had a passion.
Born in a small town in South Africa and to the son of a dietitian he had a love of reading.
His brother revealed that he read up to two books a day on a wide range of topics.
He read 60 times the number books that most of us read in a month.
He completed 2 bachelor degrees and was selected to start a PhD at Stanford University.
After two days he quit to start his entrepreneurial career.
By his mid 40's he had started and built four multi-billion dollar companies. These are in four diverse fields of software, energy, transportation and aerospace.
His name?
Elon Musk.
So....college is just the start
University degrees are a discipline and a framework for learning that can be a ticket to that dream job.
The tragedy?
That is where most people stop.
They have been seen as the ticket to corporate or academic nirvana. But in a world that is always evolving and changing that is not an option as you can't stop.
The other choice is to calcify and become irrelevant.
But some of us do have a dinosaur gene or a success death wish.
You need to embrace a success habit that today is the difference between average and awesome.

Have a great week and be awesome.
Cheers
John
