It is important to take note of the innovative people throughout history who have been at the faces of change. The problem is that we often don't recognize who those people are until much later. Hindsight provides us with a clear and unobstructed view of who the movers and shakers were, but in the present, we can be so distracted by everything that's happening--the various people and outlets competing for our attention--that we miss the game-changers.

Those whom history tends to remember are the ones at the forefront of their field--the ones pushing humanity farther than it's previously been before, stretching our limits and redefining what it means to live as a human being. From Dr. Marie Curie to Thomas Edison, those who were exploring and pushing boundaries in the world are the ones we end up remembering.

Now more than ever, with our technologically advancing and dependent world, those who innovate and explore new avenues of tech and science and how they can affect our day-to-day lives are the people that we need to follow. Not just watch, but emulate. Their success can be our success, if we pay attention to their methods and their principles. One such person is Elon Musk.
