giving-up persistence important
Persistence is very important. You should not give up unless you are forced to give up.
inspirational trying important
If something's important enough, you should try. Even if you - the probable outcome is failure.
ice ecosystems people
What most people know but don't realize they know is that the world is almost entirely solar-powered already. If the sun wasn't there, we'd be a frozen ice ball at three degrees Kelvin, and the sun powers the entire system of precipitation. The whole ecosystem is solar-powered.
thinking people age
If anyone thinks they'd rather be in a different part of history, they're probably not a very good student of history. Life sucked in the old days. People knew very little, and you were likely to die at a young age of some horrible disease. You'd probably have no teeth by now. It would be particularly awful if you were a woman.
giving-up mean i-will-never-give-up
For my part, I will never give up, and I mean never.
mean odds years
Work like hell. I mean you just have to put in 80 to 100 hour weeks every week. [This] improves the odds of success. If other people are putting in 40 hour work weeks and you’re putting in 100 hour work weeks, then even if you’re doing the same thing you know that you will achieve in 4 months what it takes them a year to achieve.
inspiring failing enough
Failure is an option here. If things are not failing, you are not innovating enough.
impossible improbable
Many things are improbable, only a few are impossible.
people passionate should
People should pursue what they're passionate about. That will make them happier than pretty much anything else.
moon thinking progress
To our knowledge, life exists on only one planet, Earth. If something bad happens, it's gone. I think we should establish life on another planet-Mars in particular-but we 're not making very good progress. SpaceX is intended to make that happen.
inspirational success crazy
When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor.
years majority
I'm extremely confident that solar will be at least a plurality of power, and most likely a majority... in less than 20 years.
cannot customer depends ensure ensuring exactly flight hope launch less next occurs predict reasonable six steps taken
I cannot predict exactly when the next flight will take place, as that depends on the findings of this investigation and ensuring that our next customer is comfortable that all reasonable steps have been taken to ensure reliability. However, I would hope that the next launch occurs in less than six months.
giving-up giving dont-ever-give-up
No I don't ever give up. I would have to be dead or completely incapacitated
