*Elon Musk Suggests Reading Books is the Best Way to Become a Useful Human *
The key to being useful to others and having a positive impact is to contribute more than you consume. To achieve this, Elon Musk encourages people to read a lot of books and develop a good general knowledge. By reading broadly in different subject areas, individuals can explore their interests and find an overlap of talents and passion. Reading is a shortcut to figure out what one is both good at and enjoys doing, leading to a positive impact. Additionally, Elon Musk emphasizes the importance of having a growth mindset rather than a zero-sum mindset. Instead of taking from others to get ahead, individuals should aim to add value to the economic pie and create more than they consume. Working on adding to the pie is a better approach for personal and societal growth.
