I've been lucky to have survived balloon trips, boating trips, you know, a lot of rather foolish things in my life, so I was definitely born under a lucky star.

In business, as in life, all that matters is that you do something positive.

It's so graceful to be blown by the wind, to go where the wind takes you. Just drifting over beautiful rivers in a balloon is perfect.

If something can't be explained on the back of an envelope, it's rubbish.

The best way of learning about anything is by doing.

Those who achieve great things are the ones willing to be scared but not scared off. If you dream big and take risks, impossible becomes just a word.

Set impossible challenges. Then catch up with them.
