buy car electric nobody people sports wants
Nobody wants to buy a $60,000 electric Civic. But people will pay $90,000 for an electric sports car.
people
Here in the West, people often don't like listening to their leaders, even if they are right.
considered few granted hundred magic people seem talk transmit vast
If you go back a few hundred years, what we take for granted today would seem like magic - being able to talk to people over long distances, to transmit images, flying, accessing vast amounts of data like an oracle. These are all things that would have been considered magic a few hundred years ago.
people rocket starting
I had so many people try to talk me out of starting a rocket company, it was crazy.
car definitely hard people safe super
We could definitely make a flying car - but that's not the hard part. The hard part is, how do you make a flying car that's super safe and quiet? Because if it's a howler, you're going to make people very unhappy.
create excited face good group happen organized people product recognize ton
A company is a group organized to create a product or service, and it is only as good as its people and how excited they are about creating. I do want to recognize a ton of super-talented people. I just happen to be the face of the companies.
almost died dream human mark people space travel
I think a lot of the American people feel more than a little disappointed that the high-water mark for human exploration was 1969. The dream of human space travel has almost died for a lot of people.
determination people innovation
Starting and growing a business is as much about the innovation, drive and determination of the people who do it as it is about the product they sell.
people needs alternatives
Some people don't like change, but you need to embrace change if the alternative is disaster.
mean government people
Funded by the government just means funded by the people. Government, by the way, has no money. It only takes money from the people. Sometimes people forget that that's really what occurs.
hard-work giving people
When people really understand it's do or die [and] if we work hard and pull through, it's going to be a great outcome; people will give it everything they've got.
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.
people passionate should
People should pursue what they're passionate about. That will make them happier than pretty much anything else.
