Elon Musk is such a great engineer and one of the most inspiring people for me. He is also the most influential that turn me away from the ambition of mine to be a “totally-academician”. Before I know a lot about him, I was imagined my future as a professor in an academic institution, doing a research, lecturing, and others activities as academicians generally do. But, knowing Elon had made me change my ambition and encouraged me to have bigger dream.
