Again, as with the airline, some people said I would fail. It took five years but we did it. We produced the world’s most advanced learnin train. It was a proud moment when my wife Joan named it Virgin ady. At the time, it went too fast for the UK’s old tracks. Once gain, we were ahead of everyone. The TV news said we had made ood on our promises.

One thing I always try to do is to keep my ord. sat my goals and stick to them. Success is more than luck. ou ave to believe in yourself and make it happen. That way others lso believe in you.

Sometimes, I get business offers that I turn own; had the chance to invest in Ryanair, a good, no-frills airline. I urned it down. Ryanair is still going strong. I also turned down the hance to invest in trivial Pursuit and a wind- up radio. All of them ere good ideas. I turned down the chance to be a Lloyd’s name. loyd’s is the biggest Insurance Company in the world. They insure gainst huge losses like hurricanes and earthquakes. Turning them own, though, was a good choice. I could have lost a fortune.

Some You win and some you lose. Be glad when you win. Don’t have regrets hen you lose. Never look back. You can’t change the past. I ry to learn from it. We can’t all run big airlines or trains. Many eople have more modest goals. But whatever your dream is, go for t. Always beware if the risks are too random or too hard to predict, ut remember, if you opt for a safe life, you will never know what it’s ike to win.
