If your ideology is to live a secured life, getting university degrees in the dream of lucrative jobs, avoiding any kind of risks with the fear of failures, then I recommend you to keep away from this book. In case you read this, it’s highly probable that you will bite your shoe to take a stark curve of your current ideology.
“Losing my Virginity” is a welcome door to the world of Branson, who decorated his life with fun, adventure, risk, philanthropy, entrepreneurship and most importantly Love. From being ridiculed as dyslexic in his childhood to be called as a Business Tycoon, this auto-biography takes the reader in the voyage of one of the adorable lifes' on the planet.
He has spent almost his entire life in making new ventures, thus providing more jobs. Instead of following some dry business strategies and statistics, he followed his intuition. If some idea feels good to the heart, he undertakes it even if it could cost his life. For example, he traveled round the world in Hot Air Balloons in breaking records though he was aware that almost everyone who tried this ended in death.
Unlike typical entrepreneurs, Richard balanced his business and relations both alike. As a philanthropist, he, with one of his influences, Nelson Mandela, shrived to curb thousands of deaths due to preventable diseases like HIV, Malaria etc; in Africa. He orchestrated a group called “Elders”, with world renowned luminaries, to prevent wars and to raise human awareness.
I enjoyed every page of the book with the un-diminishing rigor of enthusiasm and I recommend everyone (although with an exception as in the first line) to read this book to feel the real breeze of life's beauty.
I read this book few days before. I must say that this was not biography but adventures from life of Sir. Rechard Brandson. He is one of the few people on this earth who lives his life fully. I would like to tell you story's quick introduction.
Not much narrated about his childhood. But most important incident I like is how he learned to swim in his summer vacation to win the bet with his aunt. I always liked to challenge himself and expanded his limits. He started the student magazine while he was 16 year old. From Student magazine his amazing life starts.
I was always engaged with his activity to keep his magazine alive. Always persuaded prominent personalities of that time for taking their. Bur running this magazine he started selling of music records at lower price and established his mailorder record company. But as always there is a crisis in every business suddenly post office government offices went on strike and Brandson caught in problem. They were not able to sell their records as they. In this difficult situation he saw the opportunity and started his first music record shop. As they were completely new to this business they kept its name as "VIRGIN".
Than from this record company he thought instead of being just seller of the records, which was running good, Virgin should produce the records. Then they started producing music records company. He fell in love with Kristen Tomassi. They got married.
note : currently i am preparing this story in short form. That might be useful for you to have brief look of this. I must say you should read this book if you do not like mediocre.
