Elon Musk: I Feel Fear Strongly—But If It’s Important, You Override It and Just Do It

Elon Musk: If something's really important, one should overcome the fear and just do it.

“I wouldn't say I'm fearless. In fact, I think I feel fear quite strongly. But if what we're doing is important enough, then I just override the fear.

If the stakes are high, if it's really important, then one should overcome the fear and just do it anyway. Essentially, drive overrides fear.

But I feel the fear. It's kind of annoying. I wish I felt it less.”
