Learning and leadership go together. Too much credit goes to me for what we have achieved at Virgin but the successes happen from working and learning with some of the world's most inspiring and inspired people.

Travel the world and meet people. I've been fortunate enough to see so much of the world, and being able to do so has brought me so many wonderful friends and experiences. There is no better way to learn than exploring new places.

Most "necessary evils" are far more evil than necessary.

Rather than getting nostalgic...embrace the new opportunities and challenges available to you now.

All successful people - not just entrepreneurs - have got things wrong over and over again before finding the right solution.

If you have conflicts, everything breaks down in society. Kids can't go to school. Basic health can't be looked after. Every aspect of society falls apart.

If you run a business, put on top your employees, then your consumers, and then your shareholders.
