Richard Branson loves risk takers:
> Imagine you’re a simple student in the Netherlands. Without making any plans for it, what would you say the chance is that the same afternoon you’d be flying in a private jet with Richard Branson to attend the inauguration of Barack Obama in Washington?

- fredoliveira 16y agoThis is a great story. I love having examples like these around. It seems like every other day I get dragged into a conversation with someone (usually someone I care deeply about) about being successful, or just making things. In the end the conversation typically ends when I say something like "the only thing you've tried so far was coming up with excuses not to do something". 95% of times, the conversation itself is inconsequential. 5% of times it results in something big. New jobs, more cash-flow, or just people being happier with themselves and what they do. I guess some people need a small push to start making things happen. (Others, apparently, need a push bigger than I can deliver.) edit: I realize that I strayed a bit from the topic of your comment, wallflower, apologies :-)
