Some people say: The only constant in the world is change, and the only possibility in the world is the impossible. Adapting to uncertainty at any time, you can seize the opportunity and go against the current.
Meyer. Musk, she is an energetic woman, she has a legendary life, her life has been countless times of poverty, into the second half of her life before the peak of the turn. She has used her life to prove to us that life is full of variables and we all have infinite possibilities.
Before reading the book "Life by Me", I didn't know Meyer. Who Musk is, the first impression is that the old lady on the cover is full of white hair, and her grooming makes people feel that she is really beautiful and sassy.
Then I started to notice that the book was written directly below: Than "Silicon Valley Iron Man" Elon. Musk's cooler hardcore mother. oh! It turned out to be Tesla founder Elon. Musk's mother.
About Tesla, I also know one or two through the market in the past one or two years, and I can also say that people who are mixed in the financial market, or people who are interested in cars, if you don't know Tesla, it is a bit unspeakable.
A lot of people think of Meyer. Musk is a successful single mom who raised three children alone, each with his own achievements, and is a billionaire, even the richest man in the world. But after reading "Life by Me", this book about Meyer. Musk's books, I want to say, is that the core of her success is herself, and her mother is only a small part of many successes.
"In any relationship, loneliness is better than fear. There was nothing worse than pain, and loneliness could never force me back into my unhappy marriage. —Meyer. Musk
As a teenager, Meyer was considered a nerd. She loves math and science and has good academic performance. She talked to Errol. Musk grew up in the same neighborhood, and when they first met, Meyer was 11 years old, when Errol was a hipster man, but he had a crush on nerdy Meyer for many years.
The two split up during college. During the relationship, Errol also interacted with others behind Meyer's back, so much so that Meyer was very distressed for a while. One day, when neither of them had seen each other for a year, Errol suddenly took the proposal ring and asked Meyer to marry him, but Meyer refused.
Later, Errol went directly to Meyer's parents to say that Meyer accepted him, and it happened that Meyer's sister and her boyfriend were planning to get married. So Meyer's father suggested that it would be better to have a wedding ceremony at the same time.
Even when Meyer was not at home and did not know it, everyone was ready for their wedding. When Meyer returned home, she couldn't find any way to cancel the wedding, so she was helplessly married.
Dissatisfied with Meyer's performance at the wedding, during the honeymoon, her husband began to beat Meyer, and even took Meyer's passport away, making it impossible for her to escape.
On the second day after the marriage Meyer became pregnant, however under the son Elon Musk. Before Musk was born, Meyer also painted her husband's plane, and when she did things slowly, her husband angrily said: "Even if it is a contraction, you don't have to slow down" such cruel words, and did not send Meyer to the hospital until a critical moment.
Over time, Meyer's husband has become more distraught, from beating her in front of her children to beating her in public with friends. In addition to being violent, Meyer's husband is also a very controlling person, refusing to let her meet her parents, and also threatening Meyer to cut her face with a razor if he dares to divorce, and rushing to the children's knees.
Because the laws of South Africa did not protect women at that time, and men abusing women could not constitute a basis for divorce, there was no successful precedent, and Meyer was afraid that her husband would hurt the children, so she always endured.
It wasn't until the year South Africa passed the law on "irreparable breakdown of marriages" that Meyer finally divorced. For the sake of the children, Meyer ended the 10-year marriage and began to raise 3 children alone, so that the children can receive a better education, Meyer took their family to move to Canada.
"There is no need for us to live in lies and pretend that life is comfortable is meaningless. In fact, life is not easy, and reality is always cruel and unforgiving. But when suffering occurs, please allow yourself to climb out of the mud no matter what. It's important to remember that the sooner you break free, the better! ”
In the days that followed, Meyer never stopped moving forward, leaving home countless times, poor but still positive. She loves her career as a nutritionist and model, insists on lifelong learning, treats people peacefully and friendly, and shows herself with the most beautiful and glamorous appearance all her life, even if the money in her pocket is only enough to buy second-hand clothes.
For the sake of her children's tuition, Meyer worked five jobs at the same time, working tirelessly to leave early and return late. Meyer's strength, self-confidence and educational style have played a big role in the growth of children.
Elon. Musk once confessed that it was his mother's support for his various fantastic ideas that allowed him to come to this day. In addition to the well-known Elon Musk. Musk, the second son Kimball runs the nation's largest supermarket chain, and the youngest daughter became a Hollywood film producer and director, owning her own film and television production company. Meyer. Musk raised all three of his children to be excellent.
Someone said this about Elon. Musk's mother, Meyer, --- the best legacy parents can give their children is their values. The harder she worked, the luckier she became, the more she kept learning, and the harder she worked forever, which was probably the best tutor she had given to her three children.
Meyer, who has now been promoted to 12 grandchildren, has once again gone to the catwalk at an age when she can fully support herself, shooting magazines and writing books.
Although she has lived with people over the years, she has not met anyone who can enter the married life, she still chooses to be single and enjoy her wonderful life.
The 60-year-old challenged secular prejudices for the cover of Time Magazine Health, and the 63-year-old PS himself became pregnant. From the beginning of never nude, to the later two attempts to be completely nude on the cover of major magazines in New York, this is the first time in her modeling career that she has stepped out of her comfort zone. Later, he spoke for the elderly mothers, and at the age of 69, he became the spokesperson of the famous makeup brand coverer.
Meyer used her strength to break stereotypes of older women and was not afraid to reveal her wrinkled face in front of the camera. She doesn't hide her age of 72, and for women to be troubled by age, Meyer told us not to care about their age and live their lives.
She thinks it's a good thing to get older and that as we get older, we'll become wiser. Be more confident. It was a surprise.
"If you live in a panic or fear of another person, you have to make a plan to get rid of one person. If you find that the relationship will only cause you pain, you must do everything you can to get out of it as quickly as possible. I spent too long doing fearless waiting, waiting for that person to change, or that terrible relationship. But in the end, I found that the only thing I could change was myself. "---- Meyer. Musk
