Founders

Truth Simplicity takes a lot of time and focus. Simplicity with grace is Elegance. Simplicity without grace is Engineering.
Andrew Grove - CEO of Intel, 3rd employee and co-founder of Intel.

At the end of the week if I do a good job I reward myself, buying myself a coke and it costs a nickel.

To Mars ≈ 225 million km

Hope is Contagious - Barack Obama.
Study physics, and learn how to reason from principles versus analogy - Elon Musk.

 It's take 10 minutes to orbit. With zero gravity no need for the rocket engine, all it needs a trajectory toward Mars and because no friction it will accelerate by itself or with small boosters when needed (the path of a projectile or/of objects moving through space). The equipments are powered by the solar panels. To return just do the reversed trajectory. It takes 6 months to Mars. Mars is only slightly longer than an Earth day: 24 hours, 39 minutes. 
≈10 minutes to orbit with speed of March 25 and March 3 is just enough into space. Low earth orbit is 220 miles km of the sea level.
The colonization of Mars. - Rocket Science.
“That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind,”
Astronaut Neil Armstrong of Apollo 11
"Imagination is more important than knowledge."
"The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking."
"Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it."
“If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it.” Albert Einstein 

"And if we don’t have our dreams, we have nothing.” -
Movie quote from: The Astronaut Farmer
"Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." - Steve Jobs

Investment

Three Things I’ve Learned From Warren Buffett from Bill Gates
He says a shareholder has to act as if he owns the entire business, looking at the future profit stream and deciding what it’s worth. And you have to be willing to ignore the market rather than follow it, because you want to take advantage of the market’s mistakes—the companies that have been underpricing. For me this is a really hard part to predict because all the info from internet is not accurate or often not synchronizing with the company status I talk about the real time reflection but the time you know about it, it has been too late ofter you can see why the stocks go up suddenly. Unless you have connection with the company. Only things that I learn never buy from Chinese/Indian company stocks and only buy the large value/blend/growth with 5 stars rate. It does not making a lot of money but it is safe it takes time to go down slowly you have the time to react because sometimes you are busy with work and don't have time to follow the news and the trend of market. Even with invest the large blue chip companies it is still better put the money in the bank, with the return rate around 5-20%. The real estate is more safe and less risky than stocks. With the global economy the stock is more risky it depends so many elements which happen in the world. China or Japan market could effect US stock easily. Sometimes you feel no control and nothing that you can do. Stocks are numbers until you sell it. If you follow stocks enough, you are confidence in it and if you are right because the market's mistakes for example this stock if you invest 5 years ago you could earn 732% there is nothing in the world that having this kind of return. I have to keep track all the stocks in the past 5-7 years even I did not buy but made the spreadsheet and put the date I bought just to see how it performs in 5 years. It is important to know when to buy and when to sell it. It is ok to make a mistake to buy wrong stocks but it is not ok to keep it, there is a point you have to cut loose and invest in other stocks instead of waiting for it to recover and come back. This is lesson learn for me. Knowledge is good the more you know the less mistake you make when acquire the stocks.
STX note $43.85 +$0.28 +0.64% 100.000 $5.27 $4,385.00 +$3,858.00 +732.07% A final note, I don't think that stock is gambling it is an investment which due to diligent researching and sometimes you do need luck I would say less 20%. Don't trade based on people opinions but trade based on something fundamental. Based on something you strongly believe in.

Why Do Some Countries Drive On The Left?

When I was in Australia and England I dare to rent a car because it is awkward for me to drive. It is easy to take the taxi. Remember 2/3 of the world is driving on the right. Here is the reason it is mind boggle but I found this clip by accidentally. I don't like anything relating to the King and Queen so England and Australia are not my vacation destination. Beside since I grow up till now, I get used to right side of the road.

Innovation

In order to do it you need to know this is why we spend a lot of time to study. With knowledge we can do...an extraordinary things. Life will be interesting to live because your passion is eager for doing a new thing. The things that you love to do. It is not about money. It is beyond money because everyone can earn money, this is about an exciting and challenging when coming to work.
SpaceX vs. Virgin Galactic in space explorer. Imagine that you could do this kind of work, it is so cool.
Don't limit your ambition, go back to first principle be ready to make mistakes toward your goals until then you have served someone 's ambition. You have to know yourself to be able to use yourself as a full potential for humanity.
