Having a plan does not mean that things will go right. It means that if things go wrong, you will make another plan.

Reading a book is about seeing the world through the eyes of the author. This book focuses on Maye Musk’s life. It is about accepting life as it is and make a plan to make it better. If I can only conclude this book in one sentence, it will be this quote in the book “ Having a plan does not mean that things will go right. It means that if things go wrong, you will make another plan.”.

Here are some difficulties that Maye Musk met in her life. She was abused by her husband in her marriage. To protect herself from this bad relationship and make her life better, she divorced with her husband. Then, she moved to 3 different countries, 9 different places to build a great life for herself and her children. She works as model and dietitian at the same time.

With all these difficulties, she focuses on building great things in her life. Here are some of her achievement, 1) She brought up three children by herself who later become very successful. Elon musk is her child. 2) She worked as the super model and on the magazine cover at the age of 70 years old. 3) She wrote a best seller book at the age of 70 years old which is this book “A woman who makes a plan”. Her life reminds me about how to face the difficulties in life and make my life a great one.

I had made some notes when I was reading the book. Let me share with you here.

1) Do not blame life for all the bad thing that happened. Accept the fact that it happened, make a plan to make it better. Maye Musk has all the reason to blame other people, to blame life and give up on her life. Yet, she focuses on making her life better with one plan after another. In the end, she is living a great life. After seeing her living a life that she love, I have faith in my own life. Her story is so powerful.

2) Be optimistic and enjoy life. In her book, I can feel that she is looking forward to the great thing in life. In one of her interview, she was asked a question “ At this point of your life as your look back, are you happy? ” She said that “ I am at the happiest. So, 71 years old is really good, probably 81 years old will be good too.”

3) You are on your own, the good news is you can make it. When Maye Musk moved from one country to another country, she had to build her career from scratch again. She had to pass the dietitian exam to get the certificate , so that she is recognized as dietitian. She had to build her reputation again by networking and marketing whenever she moved to new places. Now, she is still maintaining and advancing her career as dietitian and model.

This is a must read book to me. I am here, promoting this book to you, my friend. Book is an amazing tool that allow us to experience different life. Maye Musk’s life is definitely a great life for your to look at. I have read this book, “A woman who make a plan”, and I love it. Here I am, recommending this book to you. Let me know your thought on this amazing book. I am looking forward to hear from you.
