Some people know what they want to do from an early age and focus on it relentlessly. Others reinvent themselves, changing careers and industries until they find something that works. As a reminder that the path to success is not always linear, we've highlighted what Richard Branson and 9 other fascinating and successful people were doing at age 25.
有的人很年輕的時候就知道他們想做什么,并且堅定地專注于此。有的人通過職業和行業的調整來改變自己,直到發現自己真正想做的事情。通向成功的道路不會一帆風順,我們來看看理查德-布蘭森和其他九位成功人士在25歲時都在做什么。
Richard Branson had already started the Virgin Records record label.
理查德-布蘭森(維京集團創始人)已經創辦了維京唱片公司
At age 20, Branson opened his first record shop, then a studio at 22 and launched the label at 23. By 30, his company was international.
20歲時布蘭森開辦了他的第一家唱片店,22歲時建立了一家工作室,23歲時創辦了維京唱片公司。30歲時他的公司已經是國際級的了。
Those early years were tough, he told Entrepreneur: "I remember them vividly. It's far more difficult being a small-business owner starting a business than it is for me with thousands of people working for us and 400 companies. Building a business from scratch is 24 hours, 7 days a week, divorces, it's difficult to hold your family life together, it's bloody hard work and only one word really matters — and that's surviving."
最初的幾年很艱難,他告訴《企業家》雜志:“我還清楚地記得那些歲月。對我來說,建立一家小型公司開始創業比領導成千上萬的員工和400家公司要困難得多。白手起家創建一家公司意味著一周七天,一天24小時不停地工作,還有離婚,因為你很難兼顧家庭生活。那時工作非常艱苦,只有一個詞最重要,那就是生存?!?/span>
