Hard work was a guiding principle of Elon Musk's childhood, his mother Maye Musk wrote in an"People often ask me how I raised such successful kids," Maye wrote. "I tell them I did it by teaching them about hard work and letting them follow their interests."
In addition to Elon, the single mother also raised two younger children — restaurateur Kimbal Musk and filmmaker Tosca Musk. Emphasizing hard work was a principle she picked up from her own parents, Maye wrote for. Maye's father paid her and her twin sister to fold and mail promotional bulletins for his chiropractic practice when she was a child. Starting at the age of 12, she also worked as the office's receptionist.
Maye also made her children take responsibility for their own career paths, requiring them to select their own colleges and complete admission and student application forms without her help, she wrote for. But pushing responsibility alone isn't enough to guarantee that kids will turn into successful adults, according to her. The registered dietitian and model also discouraged other parents from spoiling their children by giving them lives of luxury.
Elon has taken a different approach with his own kids, raising them in a Bel Air mansion and sending them to the invitation-only private school he founded,
I'm touched by these elements a great mother instilled in her children!! I was raised right and a genuine gentleman too I own everything to my mom for this!! She was the first woman in bank management..when the men said No!.. too late I'm already doing it!! Never out a cent!
