Some stuff I read this week:
A. This week’s Special:
( Elon Musk : The Real Iron Man )
If I was to take a bet on just one person, who can change our world and its future, then it will be Elon Musk.
Elon musk born in South Africa in 1971, he became a multimillionaire in his late 20s when he sold his start-up company, Zip2, to a division of Compaq Computers. He achieved more success by founding X.com in 1999, SpaceX in 2002 and Tesla Motors in 2003. Musk made headlines in may 2012 when SpaceX launched a rocket that would send the first commercial vehicle to the International Space Station.Recently Tesla Motor (An electric car company) successfully launched Model 3 (Most affordable car yet, Model 3 achieves 215 miles of range per charge while starting at only $35,000 before incentives) cheapest electric model in the world. Elon Musk also announced though it is coming to India with Model 3.
It will be a great motivational story for all the upcoming entrepreneurs. MFP wishes you the best in your ventures.

“I read everything: annual reports, 10k’s, 10q’s, biographies, histories, five newspapers a day. On airplanes, I read the instructions on the backs of seats. Reading is key. Reading has made me rich over time” – Warren Buffett
“I constantly see people rise in life who are not the smartest, sometimes not even the most diligent, but they are learning machines. They go to bed every night a little wiser than they were when they got up and boy does that help, particularly when you have a long run ahead of you” – Charlie Mungar
You have to apply yourself each day to becoming a little better. By applying yourself to the task of becoming a little better each and every day over a period of time, you will become a lot better”- Carol Dweck
