I set up this magazine called Student when I was 16, and I didn't do it to make money - I did it because I wanted to edit a magazine. There wasn't a national magazine run by students, for students. I didn't like the way I was being taught at school. I didn't like what was going on in the world, and I wanted to put it right.
Richard BransonWhen you're first thinking through an idea, it's important not to get bogged down in complexity. Thinking simply and clearly is hard to do.
Richard BransonEvery great movement in the world starts with a tiny group of people who simply refuse to accept a situation.
Richard BransonI think great businessmen are more likely made than born. I don't know if it's from your upbringing, your parental background, the struggles you go through. In my own particular situation, I left school at 15 and I was struggling to survive in the jungle and that was a great education. So I think just getting out there, hands on, learning to survive teaches you a lot.
