The richest man in the world with the fortune is more than $188 billion-if you haven’t think until your brain hurts then you haven't tried hard enough

“A dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.” — Colin Powell

“The three great essentials to achieve anything worthwhile are: Hard work, Stick-to-itiveness, and Common sense.” — Thomas A. Edison

“It seems the harder I work, the more luck I have.” — Thomas Jefferson

As you can see, based on these quotes hard work does pay off, but as with all things, there is usually a negative side to the story. Let us see what others have to say about hard work.

+ Overnight success is not possible. Many want success, today. The reality is success may come overnight or over 50 years. Humans are naturally impatient, wouldn’t you say? Especially when living in one of the greatest countries on this Planet. Everyone wants something, but just a few are willing to work for it, for a very long time.

+ You stop before you even reach the finish point. Sure, one may put in 10,000 hours to get something done, but what if that something takes 10,000 + 1 hour. If only you had push just a little bit more, success would have been in your hands. So many of us don’t realize that success is very possible, you just have to keep going!

+ You work only because you have to or want to be like others. Such mentally will surely kill your success. You work because you love it, it gives you meaning and something to live on. Don’t work because you have to, work because you want to!

Musk : Think until your brain hurts, if you haven’t think until your brain hurts then you haven't tried hard enough.He gives us an advice for becoming like him. Musk was the inspiration for the film version of "Iron Man."

Sleeping at the office is nothing new for Elon Musk.

The self-made billionaire CEO of Tesla and founder of SpaceX famously burns the midnight oil at his Tesla factory. Musk told “CBS This Morning” host Gayle King in April that he sometimes sleeps on a couch in a conference room at the Fremont, California factory as he tries to avoid any further delays and missed production targets for the Model 3 electric cars.

But Musk is no stranger to the office couch. In the ’90s, before he struck it rich as an entrepreneur, Musk had to sleep at the office because he couldn’t afford an apartment.

“When my brother and I were starting our first company, instead of getting an apartment, we just rented a small office and we slept on the couch,” Musk said in a 2014 commencement speech at the University of Southern California.

That first company went on to become Zip2, a web software startup that created online city guides for newspapers. Musk and his younger brother, Kimbal Musk, founded the company in Palo Alto, California in 1995 and eventually sold it to Compaq for roughly $300 million in 1999. Musk used the money from that sale to found X.com, the online financial services service that merged with Confinity in 2000 and later became PayPal. He’s celebrating his win with a $1 million sports car.

But before Musk and his brother could cash in on their first big venture, the bootstrapping brothers had to rough it by living in their small office.

“We showered at the YMCA and we were so hard-up that we only had one computer,” Musk said in 2014. “The website was up during the day and I was coding it at night, seven days a week, all the time.”

“I briefly had a girlfriend in that period and in order to be with me she’d have to sleep in the office,” Musk added.

He concludes: “The real payoff is having the sense of satisfaction in having created the company I have sold.”

It’s 7:00 in the morning and Elon Musk anxiously waits for his golden pay off his prize for paying his due in the Sillicon Valley.  

It’s a 62 McLaren F1 in the world and I own one of them, Elon Musk said.

The lesson to be learned, Musk told the graduates of USC’s Marshall School of Business, was “you need to work super-hard.”

“Work hard every waking hour,” Musk said in 2014. “If you do the simple math, and say if somebody else is working 50 hours [a week] and you’re working 100, you’ll get twice [as much] done in the course of a year as the other company.”

More than 20 years later, Musk is apparently still sleeping at the office. In addition to telling CBS’ King that he sleeps on a couch at the Tesla factory, Musk even said he sometimes sleeps directly on the factory floor because “the couch was too narrow.”

As a result, a YouTube video blogger actually started a GoFundMe campaign to raise money to buy Musk a new couch in May.

And, while some people dismissed this move as a public relations stunt (especially considering that Musk’s multi-billion-dollar Tesla pay package means he can certainly afford his own couch), the campaign ended up raising more than $18,000 that all went to charity after online furniture company Wayfair donated a new couch for Musk’s office — whether he sleeps on it or not.

We can add that Elon Musk has become the richest man in the world ahead of Jeff Bezos, his fortune is valued now at 188.5 billion dollars. It got $ 150 billion richer due to the soaring stock market of Tesla, the electric car maker that's worth more than the entire global auto industry put together.
