維珍集團執行長理查德·布蘭森(Richard Branson)是一位著名白手興家的億萬富翁以及企業家。他成功之路滿途荊棘,險阻重重,而伴隨並鼓舞著他整個人生旅途的卻是來自十個同偉人、思想領袖及創新者的座右銘:
1.馬拉拉·優素福扎伊 ( Malala Yousafzai )
今天的夢想變成明天的現實。 讓我們把我們的夢想變成明天的現實。
Let us make our future now, and let us make our dreams tomorrow’s reality
2.馬克·吐溫 ( Mark Twain )
遠離試圖貶低你抱負的人,格局小的人總是那麼做,但真正偉大的人將讓你覺得,你,也能夠變得偉大。
Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.
3.拿破崙·希爾 ( Napoleon Hill )
除了我們承認的那些以外,沒有任何限制。
There are no limitations to the mind except those that we acknowledge.
4.老子 ( Lao Tzu )
千里之行,始於足下。
5.溫斯頓·邱吉爾 ( Winston Churchill )
不懈的努力不是力量或智慧,而是打開潛能的鑰匙。
Continuous effort, not strength nor intelligence, is the key to unlocking our potential
6. Lady Gaga
我相信,如果你有革命的潛力,你必須把世界變得更好,並使用它。
I believe that if you have revolutionary potential, you must make the world a better place and use it.
7.蜜雪兒·歐巴馬( Michelle Obama )
嘗試新的東西。走出你的舒適區,好嗎?
Just try new things. Step out of your comfort zones and soar, all right?
8.碧昂絲( Beyoncé )
當我感覺我處於最佳狀態的時候,我會問自己:「你究竟想怎樣?我用這種的負面來推動,以轉變成更好的我。」
When I’m not feeling my best I ask myself, ‘What are you gonna do about it?’ I use the negativity to fuel the transformation into a better me.
9.伊隆·馬斯克( Elon Musk )
我認為這是一個最好的建議:「不斷思考如何更好地做事情,不斷質疑自己。」
I think that’s the single best piece of advice: constantly think about how you could be doing things better and questioning yourself.
10.納爾遜·曼德拉( Nelson Mandela )
事情完成之前看起來總像不可能。
It always seems impossible until it’s done.
