Look, if you can indulge in your passion, life will be far more interesting than if you're just working. You'll work harder at it, and you'll know more about it. But first you must go out and educate yourself on whatever it is that you've decided to do - know more about kite-surfing than anyone else. That's where the work comes in. But if you're doing things you're passionate about, that will come naturally.

What matters is working with a few close friends, people you respect, knowing that if times did turn bad these people would hold together.

A little humour is good for the soul - regardless of how old you may be.

I believe in myself. I believe in the hands that work, in the brains that think, and in the hearts that love.

I love stirring the pot. I love giving big companies a run for their money - especially if they're offering expensive, poor-quality products.

I find it very difficult to think of mistakes; not that I don't make any but because I was brought up to look only at the good things in life ... As for what lost the most money, probably Virgin Cola. It is still No 1 in Bangladesh though.

If you aim higher than you expect, you could reach higher than you dreamed.
