Just as success in business is immense, Branson personally has broken several world records for speed boat and displacement of the ball.
10 tips that I share with Mr. Branson gives us to live a life full of success, take note and begin to apply!
1. "The yachts, private jets and limousines large will not make people enjoy life more."
guess we all know in the background the money will not make us happy. Of course, money is good - brings freedom and opportunity and can be a wonderful resource. Can contribute to happiness, even. But happiness itself is something else - is independent of anything else. Buddha wrote, "there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way." (I recommend reading: Money will not give you complete happiness because ...)
2. "Enjoy every minute of your life."
To me, this is the most important thing to remember. When you're enjoying what you do, is more likely to do well and succeed. Enjoy every situation is an art, a skill, and can be developed. Maybe it naturally to some people, but for most of us, it takes a little practice. But believe me, will make a huge difference in the quality of your life.
3. "Most of the things that usually we get stressed, really not worth it"
Being stressed and worried about things is just a waste of energy - that never helps. I recommend Dale Carnegie's book, How to Stop Worrying and Start Living. Contains valuable tips and practical for those of us willing to worry about things.
4. "No one can be a good leader unless you share with people. That is the way to get the best of them. "
Obviously, we live in a social world, and it is almost impossible to physically isolate themselves from others. But, how we relate to each other is of vital importance to our happiness and success. Getting along with people - allowing them to be themselves, make the best, encouraging them - these are the characteristics of good leaders and good friends.
5. "There is nobody to follow, nothing to copy."
Life is always fresh and new. We are always at the forefront, and the successes of the future will not rely on old ways of doing things. Think outside the box, embracing change, innovate, take risks - These are the hallmarks of success in all facets of life.
6. "I can honestly say I've never started a business purely to make money. If that's the only reason I think it's best to do nothing."
Money is a byproduct. Is not an end in itself. Those who simply pursue money for nothing of real value, because the money itself adds nothing to life. Money can not buy things that matter most to people - the wisdom, serenity, leadership, happiness.
7. "I never had any intention of being an entrepreneur."
Funny how things turn out! Certainly need to know where we are going in life, but we must also remain open to new possibilities. Things have a tendency to change and if we are willing to sail with the wind and not fight it, life can lead to wonderful adventures, and we end up in the most magical places. I can attest to this in my own life, as I'm sure many readers can.
8. "I've done and learned from many mistakes."
How can we learn more? Think about when you learned any new skill - driving, cooking, learning a language. Of course I ruined everything! Taking risks, trying new things, Learning always involves making mistakes. So do not fear mistakes - feel proud of them!
9. "If you can enjoy your passion, life will be much more interesting than if you're working."
Someone said that if you like your job, you never have to work another day. Not everyone can go out and give "free rein to his passion" immediately, but not good found in all jobs, and if we focus on the good things in search of what is acceptable. This type of proactive is the foundation of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - Stephen Covey, another book I recommend.
10. "Now I'm just happy to be alive and have had a nice long bath.
We can be so focused on the things that we forget that life is a series of moments, each of them has its simple pleasures. Be grateful for the many pleasures that life gives us.
"When you wake in the morning, think it's a wonderful privilege to be alive - to breathe, think, enjoy, love" (Marcus Aurelius)
