Virgin Atlantic challenger

as a part of the crew trying to break the world record for the fastest Atlantic crossing Branson built the the virgin Atlantic challenger II. It took them two attempts to set the record, at first the ship sank in between and they were rescued by the crew, but setting a world record made every effort worthwhile.

and so on...

But the biggest lesson that I learned from him is that we must never be able to feel frightened to get away from our comfort zone.We must be able to get out of our comfort zone whenever we get a moment.No one knows everything and no one learns everything but the habit of getting out from our comfort zone sure make you a better person and tells you that you lack this skill and you need to upgrade it. This makes the successful people ultrasuccessful like Branson. he would have been a happy guy with billions of dollars and lots of materialistic things,but to him and to every successful that I know they find happiness in what they do, in their purpose.

We won't learn everything at very moment when we get out of our comfort zone but I guarantee you that you have conquered your fear and you have stepped aside from 99% of the people.
