3. Richard Branson – A personal favorite of mine, Richard Branson is a highly successful entrepreneur. In fact, in a prior article, I named him one of the Top 10 Living Business Leaders Today. Branson’s successful ventures include Virgin Atlantic, Virgin Music, and Virgin Active. At age 16, however, Branson was a high school dropout with hopes of starting a student magazine. It didn’t succeed. He went on to establish a mail-order record business that did so well it led to the creation of the record shop he called Virgin. Today we know him as one of the world’s greatest entrepreneurs, but on his path to success he endured many more failures, including Virgin Cola, Virgin Vodka, Virgin Clothes, Virgin Vie, and Virgin Cards. Thank heavens he never gave up.
3. 理查德·布蘭森（Richard Branson）——我個人最喜歡的一位成功人士，理查德·布蘭森是一位取得了輝煌成就的企業家。事實上，在我之前的一篇文章中，我稱他為當今在世的10位最偉大商業領袖之一。布蘭森的成功包括創建了維珍航空（Virgin Atlantic）、維珍唱片（Virgin Music）和維珍活力（Virgin Active）。布蘭森在16歲時從高中輟學，希望能創辦一份學生雜志。但這次嘗試沒有成功，他并未氣餒，又創建了一家郵購唱片公司。這家公司的生意非常好，他也因此建立起一家唱片商店，取名維珍。今天，他作為全球最偉大的企業家之一聞名于世，但在他的成功之路上，他品嘗的失敗比成功要多，包括維珍可樂（Virgin Cola）、維珍伏特加（Virgin Vodka）、維珍服飾（Virgin Clothes）、維珍維（Virgin Vie）和維珍卡（Virgin Cards）。感謝老天他從來沒有放棄。
