adventurous life of Richard Branson

"You don't learn to walk by following the rules.You learn by doing and falling over ".This is one of the famous quote of an English businessman,author,investor and philanthropist Richard Branson, who is the founder of virgin group which controls more than 400 companies.

Richard Branson is an amazing man when it comes to business, investing and so on but on one hand as he is a successful man, on the other hand he enjoys his life. He thrives for adventures.His whole life has been an adventurous one. Here are some examples

Atlantic balloon crossing

Richard Branson along with his friend Per lindstarand became the first team to cross the Atlantic in a hot-air balloon.

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.

Kitesurfing across the English channel

In 2012, Branson succeeded in crossing the English channel through kitesurfing.

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.
