I would strongly recommend this book because of two reasons for one, it was written by Richard Branson and two, it is a quick, fast paced read which anyone can enjoy.
Richard Branson is literally, in my opinion, the greatest entrepreneur of our time. He has multi billion dollar corporations around the world. He's interfered and helped with some of the world's most touchy problems like the invasion of Kuwait in 1990 and flew around the world in a hot air balloon race. He started from only a little magazine in England when he was sixteen called, Student. He found out later that he had mild dyslexia which made reading difficult. Because of this he memorized what was being said to compensate. These are achievements, accomplished by an amazing guy. If learning about Richard Branson's adventures and stories aren't luring to this amazing read and you want some life and business tips to help then your in luck. You'll be delighted to know that Richard Branson also gives helpful tips along the way, guiding you through life's hardships. For instance when he went to jail for tax evasion and loosing money on business endeavours. He was resilient and didn't give up. I found the book inspiring because it made me think of life and the goals which we should set for ourselves.
The book itself and the way it's written is magnificent. It really is a strong quick read that people at any age can enjoy. What really keeps the reader interested is the fact that Richard Branson is able to keep us thinking about business and life. At the same time he can keep use entertained by placing in some amazingly fun and quirky story's about himself and his business.
Question 9
Virgin Galactic is slowly starting up. We bought parts and constructed a state of the art space craft. It is specifically designed to take people up into space and get a tour like they've never had before. It's not new for Virgin and myself to do something different and maybe a bit out of the norm. Like the time I was in the round the world hot air balloon race or when I was asked to sponsor a powerboat to win the Blue Riband. The launch day is set for October 2019 only a couple months away. I'm so happy that people are actually realizing that this is an amazing accomplishment. For use as humans to be able to experience the great vastness of space is incredible. In the safe and secure Virgin Galactic space craft there is no worry of any life threatening problems.
The reason why I choose the opening of Virgin Galactic as my pick up story in the future is because it is one of the major things that Virgin itself will be known for. This is mainly because they will be the first company to every have tours of space. I also picked it because I think that it shows that Richard Branson author of Screw It, Let's Do It Lessons In Life thinks in a very different way then other Entrepreneurs and Business owners. His perception of life and what it gives use is more refreshing then the normal strive for success book. By showing what Richard Branson really is will have a positive impact on people's likelihood of reading this book.
