Написати розповідь про свого кумира.
Elon Musk is a man you cannot help but admire. He possesses outstanding intellectual abilities, which have made the businessman and inventor an acknowledged genius and one of the most influential people of the twenty-first century.
What strikes me most about Musk is that any business in his hands becomes a profitable one. Whether it’s SpaceX, which produces space technology; Tesla, which makes electric cars; or PayPal, an electronic payment system. It is as if Elon can look into the future and see exactly how to develop his projects to bear the desired fruit.
But in reality, of course, the businessman has no supernatural powers whatsoever. Elon Musk has built a successful career only thanks to his brilliant mind and fantastic knowledge of the basics of business operation.
In addition, the billionaire’s mind is constantly generating new and unique ideas which he is eager to share with the public. For instance, travelling to Mars and the possibility of exploring other planets doesn’t seem like something out of the ordinary or unbelievable to the inventor. He sees it as a very realistic goal that will become possible soon.
Elon Musk invests a lot of money in developing non-commercial projects to create artificial intelligence and so-called neuro-computer interfaces, which are embedded in the human brain and provide its connection with the computer. At first glance, all this may seem completely unbelievable. Still, people like Musk are here and now creating the future of our science, advancing humanity to a new stage of intellectual development.
I think almost everyone in the world admires someone. It is especially true for young people. Most of them have idols. They try to look and act like them. It is useful when a person looks up to someone with positive qualities or to someone who has done lots of good and worthy things. Idols are mostly found in such spheres like music or cinema. My idol is Michael Jackson. I like all his songs and I admire his personality. I think that he was a multi-talented person. He managed to stage fantastic and spectacular shows. He was a great singer and dancer. Besides, he did a lot for poor and disabled children of Africa. I’ve read at a magazine that Michael Jackson was born in a rather poor family. There were nine children and they all lived in a four-room house. Later, when Michael Jackson became really rich and popular, he purchased a huge house with lots of rooms upstairs and downstairs. Many critics said his behavior was eccentric. He never gave interviews, he was rarely seen in public, he often wore a face mask to protect himself from germs, and he slept in an oxygen capsule, which he believed would help him to live longer. However, his manager says that he was simply very shy. He started singing in public when he was only five years old. Since then he had been working like a grown-up. He had never had free time to play with other children and he led a very stressful life. He felt safe with animals and children and he feared crowds. He was a bit childish too. He loved kids’ stories and his favourite hero was Peter Pan. No matter how eccentric or childish he was, I think he was a clever man, who managed to create a successfully brilliant image.
