The billionaire daredevil..........." Richard Branson "

   
            " Common folks always keeps from battling against destiny but Exceptionals revolt against destiny , when not in their favour . "
 
                           This is the key difference between an ordinary person and the chosen one . Destiny lets those in its plans whom it treats parallel . But to acquire such a position , one must give primary importance to oneself . It is in our hands to either look upon somebody or make the mob look upon us .

                  Though it be the airline sector or be the telecom sector , the Virgin  Group has a grip over the market and the key person behind forming and taking this entity to the zenith is the chairperson of the Virgin Group , " Mr. Richard Branson " . This man surely knows on which side his bread is buttered .Sir Richard Charles Nicholas Branson (born 18 July ,1950) is an English business magnate and investor.

According to the Forbes 2012 list of billionaires, Branson is the sixth richest citizen of the United Kingdom, with an estimated net worth of US$4.6 billion.

Branson was born in Blackheath, London. His father was Barrister Edward James Branson (10 March 1918 – 19 March 2011)

Branson had dyslexia and had poor academic performance as a student, but later discovered his ability to connect with others.
On one of Branson’s last days at school, his headmaster, Robert Drayson, told him he would either end up in prison or become a millionaire.
At a tender age of 15 ,he convinced his father of allowing him to breed Budgerigar and who also arranged for the accesories required  for the work.
After sometimes he started his record business from the crypt of a church where he ran  "The Student Magazine". He started to get good returns.  Branson eventually started a record shop in Oxford Street in London .Earning enough money from his record store, Branson in 1972 launched the record label Virgin Records with Nik Powell and bought a country estate, in which he installed a recording studio.He then got associated with Banking ,Beverages, Travel , Videogames ,Consumer Electronics, FinancialServices, Films, Internet, Music ,Radio!,Books, Cosmetics, Jewellery, Houseware, Retail ,Mobile Phones,  Commercial Spaceflight.
It seems as if failures and misfortunes ran away from Branson.


He has even shrugged of the inner voice which  was creating confusion when he attempted to create world records. Amongst those attempts the few notables are. his attempt to cross Atlantic Ocean in the least time possible.
In January 1991, Branson crossed the Pacific from Japan to Arctic Canada, 6,700 miles (10,800 km), in a balloon of 2,600,000 cubic feet (74,000 m3). .In March 2004, Branson set a record by travelling from Dover to Calais in a Gibbs Aquada in 1 hour, 40 minutes and 6 seconds, the fastest crossing of the English Channel in an amphibious vehicle. And this passion for adventure is still in Branson's heart.
His ex wife's name is  Kirsten Tomassi  and his current's is Joan eTempleman




He has also tried his best to eradicate miseries from the world. For his selfless services to the society ,he has been honoured and awarded .


At school he was an academic failure, and left without any qualifications. Starting his own record shop with a small loan, Richard Branson became one of the most colourful and successful businessmen in the UK. So how will you get inspired from him?
                                      Well ,let me tell you how I get motivated from Richard Branson's life .For me he is a person ,who had little knowledge but abound in wisdom .He inspires us to go beyond conventional thinking and to achieve whatever we desire.


" For a successful entrepreneur it can mean extreme wealth. But with extreme wealth comes extreme responsibility. And the responsibility for me is to invest in creating new businesses, create jobs, employ people, and to put money aside to tackle issues where we can make a difference ." ............ Richard
Branson

" Steve Irwin " .............The saviour of vulnerable species

No one had played more potent role in rescuing animals worldwide than Steve Irvins. With guts more than a superman, he created history by communicating with animals ,standing less then a foot away from them . His presence made the Australian Zoo ,a sincerely discussed topic worldwide. When one gets ants in his pants, when confronted by a mere cougar, this man used to make grizzles and the largest family member of the cat kingdom with a mane ,run for their life.As we all know that he  is no more but we also know that he is and will always be in our hearts as  " Crocodile Hunter ".


                                             There is no single naturalist or zoologist who can't be inspired by a personality like Irvin. .Mesmerised audience used to drool all over the ground ,when witnessed steve's friendship with animals and vice - versa . He was a gem of a person.
                  

     Stephen Robert , " Steve Irwin "   was born on his mother's birthday on 22/02/1962.  in a suburb of Melbourne.The birthday girl's name was Lyn and her spouse's was Bob Irwin . He attended Landsborough State School and Caloundra State High School.in Queensland . By his guardian's encouragement he started to help them run the small Queensland Reptile and Fauna Park.This was the place where he acquired his primary knowledge about crocs and reptiles.


After a couple of years, Irwin took over the management of the park in 1991 and renamed it Australia Zoo in 1992. In 1991, Irwin met Terri Raines, an American naturalist .after some meetings they thought that they were perfect for each other and got married in Eugene on 4 June 1992.Steve and Terri spent their honeymoon trapping crocodiles together. Film footage of their honeymoon, taken by John Stainton, became the first episode of The Crocodile Hunter.


                       He worked in many tv shows , films and adds and always entertained his audience .He appeared on several episodes of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. He showed signs of courage in need and inspired his co- workers.

                                 He discovered a new species of turtle and named it Irwin's turtle (Elseya irwini) .He was also nominated in 2004 for Australian of the Year.





But what an irony ,the man who always fought for the rights of animals ,was accidently killed by a string ray,while filming underwater.Though it was an accident,but still it was  a very big tragedy.

We and our future generation will always remember him and get inspired by him in tough times.


"I have no fear of losing my life - if I have to save a koala or a crocodile or a kangaroo or a snake, mate, I will save it.".............Steve Irwin


"Since I was a boy, from this house, I was out rescuing crocodiles and snakes. My mum and dad were very passionate about that and, I was lucky enough to go along."............Steve Irwin
 
                              His life's journey teaches us to be courageous and bold ,no matter how difficult the situation may be. His deep love for animals will always be appreciated and may even transform the minds of poachers on earth.

No Limbs....No Problems



Do we all pounce at any opportunity that comes in our life.Don't we feel uncomfortable when we ask our dreams to pipe down.Do we just keep horsing about without any care of tomorrow or Do obstacles smash up your desires?

Well.. Keep your finger's crossed ,as you are about to get the answer


Yes,we all start off very well but lose the thread in the middle

But their is a man who is habituated of passing over mission related ailments .
Using his limbless body to do scuba diving and mouth to dine with spoon and fork!Nick  Vujicic has turned blind eye to failure.

This,31 years old man is a splendid speaker,motivator,loving husband and proud father of Kiyoshi James Vujicic.He has got the privilege of being part of certain best selling books.


Born in a Christian family,on 4 dec 1982,with tetra emails syndrome ,a disease that eats up all four limbs of child in the womb.In his early childhood days he simply used to scratch his head when fellow students use to make fun of him.But as time passed,nick tolerance capacity started to  strife off thereby forcing him to enter into the nasty world of loneliness and sadness.

But In this time of need when there was no help available ,god himself came to his rescue.He guided nick and made him what he is today.

So "if we have deep faith in Lord ,he will send his angles after our well being ,sooner or later"
