There is a saying that "women are weak, but mothers are strong", especially as the pressure of social competition is increasing, mothers not only have to bear the pain of pregnancy and childbirth, but also face postpartum recovery and workplace development obstacles.
Even for mothers of second and third children, the burden of caring for their children is enough to make it impossible for them to concentrate on their work, and many women have to choose to be full-time wives at home.
But as long as it is for the happiness of the child to grow, no matter how much suffering, how much difficulty, I believe that mothers can overcome.
For example, there is such a mother, she is an entrepreneur, beauty pageant champion, nutritionist, seems to have a smooth life, but at the same time, she is a mother of three children, and a single mother.
Anyone who has ever had a child knows that raising a child well requires the joint efforts of the whole family, but this mother, who divorced her husband at the age of 31, raised three children alone.
Not only have they become successful entrepreneurs themselves, but all three children have been raised to become billionaires, one of whom is elon Musk, the new world's richest man this year.
And this mother, because of this, is also known as "Canada's most cattle woman", her name is: Meyer - Musk.
Elon Musk has too many titles, the world's richest man aside, philanthropist is not surprising, but he is still a real IT man, engineer, his successful experience, the achievements of a number of top company CEOs, CTO make him highly sought after.
Many people are exploring the code of his success, how did a science and engineering man get to the top of his life? In fact, he himself has given the answer many times.
Bachelor's degree in Economics? Learning to code from the age of 10? A PhD in Applied Physics? No, neither.
"My mother's nurturing and the influence of her maverick personality on me are the main reasons for my success, and she is my hero."
Indeed, if we understand the experience of this mother, we will also sincerely admire that she is indeed the hero of her three children, and with her strength to never accept defeat, she has set a good example for the children.
In addition to the second son of the world's richest man, her eldest son, Kimbal Musk, opened a farm and chain restaurant, and the youngest daughter, Tosca Musk, opened a film and television company in Hollywood, all of which are worth more than 100 million.
Meyer Musk actually did not have to be a "hero", she became a model at the age of 15, with her extraordinary appearance, and also shot advertisements for Colgate, and at the age of 21, she became the miss South African beauty pageant champion, and there were many suitors.
Not a vain man, she chose to marry an ordinary electrical engineer, her high school classmate. But soon, she found out that it was a wrong decision.
Although the small family soon added three more babies after marriage, her husband became increasingly overbearing: she was not allowed to do normal modeling work, and even threatened with violence.
At the age of 31, in order for the children to have a healthy environment to grow up, Meyer chose to divorce and obtained custody of three children.
In order to completely distance herself from her ex-husband, she came to Canada with her children. This meant that she gave up all her accomplishments just to be able to have a fresh start.
In Canada, she tried her best to give her children a normal learning life, and at most she used to work five odd jobs alone, but at the same time, she did not give up her improvement, and she insisted on taking modeling classes and nutrition classes every week.
Finally, with her efforts, the family's life slowly got on the right track, she had a stable income in the modeling agency, obtained a nutritionist certificate, and opened her own company.
With her encouragement, her two sons and one daughter are developing in the direction of their own interests, the eldest son is engaged in the construction industry, the second son is studying science and engineering, and the younger daughter is developing the film and television industry.
Whenever the children encounter difficulties, the mother will always tell them with her own body that she will always be the indestructible backing of her children, and that there is a heart that will always guard them in this seemingly thin body.
In this way, this single mother has cultivated her three children into talents by her own, and Elon Musk, a big celebrity who owns space exploration companies, Tesla companies, and Sun City, needless to say, his achievements are universally recognized.
Her eldest son, Kimbar Musk, first earned his first pot of gold by developing construction software, then grew deeper, accumulating assets of more than $300 million, then opened a restaurant chain, The Kitchen, and also gave great support to his brother when he started the company, and is now a member of Tesla's board of directors.
The youngest daughter, Tosca Musk, single-handedly created the media website Passionflix, and is also a director and producer herself, and has currently directed well-known works such as "Dirty and Sexy Man" and "Gabriel's Hell".
Although all three children have come out on top, Meyer does not make this her life's goal, she still has her own plan.
Although she was over fifty years old at the time, she still did not give up her beloved modeling career, and even further developed to the level of a world supermodel.
At the age of sixty, she made another bold decision: to accept an offer from Time magazine to go naked and take a group of promotional photos.
Later, these photos were not only published in the health edition of Time, but even on the big screen of Times Square.
Yes, this "mother is just" woman, not only for the three children and hard work, she also has her own life, the ups and downs she experienced, the character and temperament cultivated by the setbacks not only have an impact on the life of her children, but also a great grind for herself.
At the age of 72, Meyer wrote a book about her growth and experience, called "Life Self", and even Wendi Deng came forward to help publicize it.
Through this book, we can clearly see how to adjust our mentality and maintain our momentum in the face of the grind of life, not only for children and others, but more importantly, how to face ourselves.
As Meyer herself said: Although it is hard, I have no complaints, and I always have a smile on my face. But I will let the children know that they can only work their own and no one can help them succeed.
Yes, through the history of the experience and struggle of this mother and her three children, we can see that life is not always smooth, and it does not matter whether we succeed or fail for a while, what is important is that we never stop our progress and do not lose the direction of our lives.
Before we become other people's heroes, we must first become our own heroes!
