inspiring around-the-world way
The balloons only have one life and the only way of finding out whether they work is to attempt to fly around the world.
cities people world
London is one of the most exciting cities in the world with so many fantastic pubs and restaurants. I would urge people to get out there and see as much as possible.
powerful passion world
There is no greater thing you can do with your life and your work than follow your passions – in a way that serves the world and you.
business world management
I never wanted to be a businessman, I just wanted to change the world
world want well-known
I want Virgin to be as well-known around the world as Coca-Cola.
running school world
I set up this magazine called Student when I was 16, and I didn't do it to make money - I did it because I wanted to edit a magazine. There wasn't a national magazine run by students, for students. I didn't like the way I was being taught at school. I didn't like what was going on in the world, and I wanted to put it right.
thinking world pounds
I don't think so, in that Virgin is already a global brand. Brands like Amazon have had to spend hundreds of millions of pounds you know, building their brands, whereas Virgin is already well-known around the world.
odds flying world
Well, the odds must be against anybody being able to fly around the world in a balloon on the first attempt. All of us who are attempting to go around the world in balloons are effectively flying in experimental craft because these craft cannot be tested.
eye way world
Exploration is a wonderful way to open our eyes to the world, & to truly see that impossible is just a word.
people world helping
Being dyslexic can actually help in the outside world. I see some things clearer than other people do because I have to simplify things to help me and that has helped others.
moving-forward world ifs
If you don't make bold moves, the world doesn't move forward.
thinking leader world
I think business leaders all over the world should not just think of how we can make lots of money, which is fine, but to take some of the problems in the world and get out there and tackle them using business. I think that if businesses do that we can get on top of these problems.
people movement world
Every great movement in the world starts with a tiny group of people who simply refuse to accept a situation.
mind-blowing wish world
The world is made of words. And if you know the words that the world is made of, you can make of it whatever you wish.
