    British billionaire Richard Branson, one of the world’s most successful businessmen, has recently returned from space travel. Since then, his name is in the discussion that why Richard Branson, who was creating panic in the business world, did space travel. Well, a lot about Richard, about 71 years old, is beyond belief. For example, due to his nature of liking adventure, he survived many times in the face of death. He was also seriously injured many times but his passion for adventure did not diminish.

    Richard Branson, who has made his mark in the Virgin Group from airlines to music, clothing, and finance, sounds as if he had inherited a lot of wealth and then went on to do business. But the reality is the opposite. He was dyslexic, that is, a child who has difficulty in learning and reading. This is a kind of mental condition, in which many children go backward due to a lack of cooperation.

    The same thing happened with Richard. Because of not being able to read, he was considered the most stupid in the class. He would sit back and often remain silent. He had no partner. This went on and Richard dropped out of school in his teenage years.

    Meanwhile, Richard found a magazine in the basement of the house, which belonged to the school. There was nothing special in the material given in it and in simple language, it was a boring magazine. Richard decided to start a magazine on the lines of a school magazine, but the problem was that he did not have money.

    Richard kept trying to suppress his dream that in the meantime his mother found a necklace on the road. The mother handed over the unclaimed necklace to the police station but the police also did not find her heir and thus returned the necklace to Richard’s mother. Then it cost about £100. Richard’s mother sold the necklace and gave that money to the son. From here the foundation of the student magazine was laid. This was in the year 1968.

    The student had different content from the boring school magazines of that era. It covered the pop culture of that time. It was about the Vietnam War. Also, famous people were talked about. In this way, this magazine came out as a completely different one. Since then Richard started moving forward, so today he has more than 400 business ventures. That is, if seen, with only 100 pounds, today Richard has traveled to the trillionaire.

    The same thing Richard constantly says that if someone has a passion for work, then he should not cry for lack of money, but should find opportunities. A great business can be started even with less money. They also help new businessmen with their ideas.

    Richard’s strength is not only his ability to rise above zero but he is also known for his challenging life and interests. He continued to take part in adventure activities. During this, even the face of death could not weaken him.

    Once in the year 1980, he was saved from going into the ditch on his private island. Let us tell here that Richard has bought a private island for himself. This island, named Necker Island, is spread over about 30 hectares. After buying it for a hobby, Richard began renting the island for business as well, where he could stay for a few days at a high price. Once on this island, Richard was saved by falling into a deep gorge.

    Similarly, while bungee jumping from Victoria Falls for a TV show, this businessman was badly injured and stayed in the hospital for a long time. Many people started believing that Richard would never be able to lead a normal life, but after some time he returned and started enjoying the adventure again. However, even after the threats, he kept on returning and has made many records. Like in 1987, he was part of the team that crossed the Atlantic Ocean by hot air balloon. Earlier, he had crossed the Atlantic Ocean with his powerboat.

    Now Richard has returned after traveling to space. Let us tell you that a few months ago, Richard had shared his desire for space travel on Twitter, although there were many dangers due to old age, he returned safely to space. It is believed that this step of his will give a boost to space tourism.
