当我第一次见到Maye Musk时，我几乎不记得她的名字，只知道她是我未来的偶像，硅谷铁人Elon Musk的母亲。 　　

　　

　　我又听说了梅耶尔马斯克，是因为我听说埃隆的母亲出版了一本名为《人生由我》的书。据说埃隆的母亲出书时已经70多岁了，但她的生活并没有随着年龄的增长而变得乏味，而是越活越精彩。这很吸引我。每个人都会变老。如何把衰老变成优势，是我特别感兴趣的话题(见：从容老去，余生花开)。 　　

　　

　　迈耶新书《人生由我》 　　

　　

　　然而，当我终于有时间静下心来读《人生由我》的时候，我发现梅耶尔不仅是埃隆的母亲，还是一位母亲身价不菲的老年作者。令我惊讶的是，她是一个CMW人！ 　　

　　

　　什么是CMW人？从字面上看，翻译指的是创造有意义工作的人，换句话说，一些人的工作不是我们通常的职业和工作，而是他们自己创造的不寻常的工作。这些工作可以是从未做过的新工作，也可以是不同工作或其他想法的组合。 　　

　　

　　迈耶马斯克是创造有意义工作的天才。她今年72岁，是作家、模特、营养师和演说家。光是听这些标题就让人有被鼓励的感觉？ 　　

　　

　　她对美丽、健康、成功和家庭充满热情和热爱。她一生充满好奇心，乐于探索未知的世界。我认为这是她成功的秘诀。 　　

　　

　　梅耶尔15岁开始做模特，22岁结婚，然后经历了一段9年家暴的不幸婚姻。31岁离婚后，她独自抚养三个孩子。后来她搬到了加拿大，那是她人生中最黑暗的时刻。离异，没有稳定的工作和收入，在陌生的国家和城市独自抚养三个年幼的孩子。 　　

　　

　　但这些困难并没有打垮梅耶尔。她说她没有时间为失败和挫折烦恼。凭借她对美丽、健康、成功和家庭的热情和热爱，她的勇气、勤奋和社交技巧，她创造了自己有意义的工作。 　　

　　

　　起初，她的创造的有意义工作组合是：营养师+兼职模特+演说者+母亲.她把所有这些角色都演得很好。她忙碌的工作不仅没有影响梅耶尔成为一个好母亲，还养育了三个优秀的孩子，而且和他们的关系非常好。 　　

　　

　　迈耶和她的三个孩子 　　

　　

　　当她的孩子长大后，她发现不需要照顾他们，她有更多的时间留给自己，于是她开始尝试写作。于是，迈耶在作家,开始了她的职业生涯，这本书《人生由我》也就应运而生了。我不太清楚这本书的销量和商业价值，但光是迈耶的励志故事就足以激励和点亮很多人，尤其是女性！ 　　

　　

　　事实上，你可以创造有意义的作品。你准备好开始自己的旅程去创造有意义的工作了吗？ 　　

　　

　　最后，引用Meyer的励志金句作为这个CMW人/创造有意义的工作的故事的结尾。 　　

　　

　　心“你需要期待你的工作，热爱它，因为你醒着的大部分时间都在工作。” 　　

　　

　　找一份爱你的工作，因为你醒着的大部分时间都在工作。 　　

　　

　　心“索取你想要的。坚持就是成功。” 　　

　　

　　想想自己想要的是什么，然后持之以恒，一定会成功。 　　

　　

　　心“试着有幽默感，不要太在意别人在说什么。走路高一点，笑容多一点。” 　　

　　

　　保持幽默感，不要太在意别人怎么说。抬头走路，多微笑。

　　English Version: 　　

　　

　　Maye Musk，我最初知道这个名字只是因为她是Telsa首席执行官Elon Musk的母亲，Elon Musk是我的偶像，是一位非常聪明和成功的企业家。 　　

　　

　　我知道她名字的第二个原因是她的新书叫 　　

led A Women Makes A Plan, which has attracted my attention for a while. As a grown-up, I started to think about the good points of becoming older. I am looking forward to finding out some hints in her book.

　　

　　

However, as I finally got an opportunity to read her book(Chinese version), I found that she was much more than what I mentioned above. She is a CMW people.

　　

　　

At the age of 72, she is currently an author, model, dietitian and speaker. This is so encouraging even to hear the titles only.

　　

　　

I deduced that her genuine desires are beauty, health, family and success, which are also four parts of her book. She is curious and full of passion for exploring new things. She has lived in three countries and now have four types of work.

　　

　　

She began the work as a model at the age of 15 , then turned her attention to family after marrying her high school sweetheart and father of her kids at 22. Maye stayed in the tragic marriage with domestic violence for nine years. Then she made a plan to leave her husband and move to Canada with her kids.

　　

　　

She created her meaningful work when she arrived in Canada although that’s the dark time of her life, a divorced woman without job and much money, and with three young kids. She worked as a part-time model and started to be a dietitian in a city where she knew nobody. With her courage, social talents and hard work, she became a successful dietitian within a short period of time, and also a supermodel at a senior age.

　　

　　

Moreover, she is also a successful mother who has raised three successful kids, and they have very good relationships.

　　

　　

After her kids grew up striving for their own careers, she started to have more time for her own. Then, she tried to write books. I don’t have the specific sales volume of her book, but I like her book and believe she is already a successful author in terms of personal impact.

　　

　　

In fact, you could create your own meaninful work too. Are you ready to explore more on how to do it?

　　

To sum up, let me use Maye’s words as the end of this short CMW story.

　　

<心> “You need to look forward to your work and love it, because you spend most of your waking hours working.”

　　

<心>“Ask for what you want. Persistence lead to success.”

　　

<心>“Try to have a sense of humour, and be less sensitive about what people are saying. Walk taller and Smile more.”
