I’m a huge fan of people who want to leave The World a better place and, Elon Musk is the epitome of this. I am partially biased because I am South African too; however, this man is undoubtedly innovative and truly walks his talk.

Here are 10 inspirational quotes from Elon Musk:

1.When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favour.

2. You get paid in direct proportion to the difficulty of problems you solve.’

3. ‘I'm not trying to be anyone's savior. I'm just trying to think about the future and not be sad.’

4. ‘It is possible for ordinary people to choose to be extraordinary.’

5. ‘When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor.’

6. ‘Any product that needs a manual to work is broken.’

7. ‘Life is too short for long-term grudges.’

8. Patience is a virtue, and I’m learning patience. It’s a tough lesson.

9. Persistence is very important. You should not give up unless you are forced to give up.

10. It’s OK to have your eggs in one basket as long as you control what happens to that basket.
