Shine With Grace

Being a big fan of Richard Branson, I am going to share with you one superb interview with him by TED.com.  Really inspiring while extremely entertaining.

Just in case you don’t know, Richard Branson had dyslexia and failed all IQ tests when young.  He actually dropped out of school at age 15 and his headmaster said to him that he would either become a millionaire or go to prison - and, he did both…

A natural born rebel, he set up Virgin Atlantic to fight British Airways.  At the hardest time, he had to sold Virgin Records to save the airline.  Crossed the Atlantic in a balloon (and almost killed himself), people jokingly asked him that as the founder of an airline, wasn’t there a better way to cross the Atlantic?

Yes, there were better ways, but it’s just not the same.

Richard Branson is extremely successful.  Yet, he also fails more than ordinary people.  He failed at school, and he has businesses that didn’t work out. 

The success favour?

Find good people, inspire them and explore their best.  Treat people nice and well.

Have fun and do things differently.

Be inspired!
