i've beginning to suspect that there is internal swelling going on within me. :( the pain doesn't go away and it aches at every position i am in. its freaking irritating. i can't do anything with my left arm now. and tmr he's bringing me to the doctor =)oh well, i've stop blaming everything about getting sick but can't stop complaining about the pain. and i finally finish the book by Richard Branson - screw it! just do it. and i really gotta blog about this guy man.
its been seldom that i really admire someone for the simple reason that we are all humans and we can do every single thing we want. but i really admire this guy next to henry ford - he really does what he wants and he does it no matter how much obstacles he faces. how many of us living today have this attitude? its the simplest thing that divide the strong from the weak and the good from the bad.
though it was just his books, it felt like i've met him before somewhere, somehow. to think about it if we don't face obstacles and problems in life, life is all that boring. its the things we face that keeps each of us stronger everyday. he doesn't care what people thinks bout him, he doesn't give a shit if you look down on him, he knows he can do it. thats the vital lesson we should pick up.
being a 15 year old boy having big dreams started him on the fruitful journey of his lifetime experience. with the dream of having his own magazine up till today owning planes, trains, islands, music stores. Richard Branson made a name for himself being Virgin's co founder. everyone doubted a 15 year old boy, but it didn't mattered to him at all. he just went with the flow.
what i thought was most attractive about him is his humble-ness. earning quite a great deal of moeny and owning a billion dollar business. not many people in the world today can submit to humble-ness. even some leaders fails to do so at points of time.
there are a lot of learning points that i took from him and the only thing that i can do now is put myself to a test of the skills i learnt.
my dad once told me" girl, i think you're ambitious " hahas. i'm proud of the comment though. maybe that will be the comment that spark the potential for me to excel to even greater heights in life. =D
