"Oh, screw it, let's do it."
That's the philosophy that has allowed Richard Branson, in slightly more than twenty-five years, to spawn so many successful ventures. From the airline business (Virgin Atlantic Airways), to music (Virgin Records and V2), to cola (Virgin Cola), to retail (Virgin Megastores), and nearly a hundred others, ranging from financial services to bridal wear, Branson has a track record second to none.
Losing My Virginity is the unusual, frequently outrageous autobiography of one of the great business geniuses of our time. When Richard Branson started his first business, he and his friends decided that "since we're complete virgins at business, let's call it just that: Virgin." Since then, Branson has written his own "rules" for success, creating a group of companies with a global presence, but no central headquarters, no management hierarchy, and minimal bureaucracy.
Many of Richard Branson's companies--airlines, retailing, and cola are good examples--were started in the face of entrenched competition. The experts said, "Don't do it." But Branson found golden opportunities in markets in which customers have been ripped off or underserved, where confusion reigns, and the competition is complacent.
And in this stressed-out, overworked age, Richard Branson gives us a new model: a dynamic, hardworking, successful entrepreneur who lives life to the fullest. Family, friends, fun, and adventure are equally important as business in Branson's life. Losing My Virginity is a portrait of a productive, sane, balanced life, filled with rich and colorful stories:
Crash-landing his hot-air balloon in the Algerian desert, yet remaining determined to have another go at being the first to circle the globe
Signing the Sex Pistols, Janet Jackson, the Rolling Stones, Boy George, and Phil Collins
Fighting back when British Airways took on Virgin Atlantic and successfully suing this pillar of the British business establishment
Swimming two miles to safety during a violent storm off the coast of Mexico
Selling Virgin Records to save Virgin Atlantic
Staging a rescue flight into Baghdad before the start of the Gulf War . . .
And much more. Losing My Virginity is the ultimate tale of personal and business survival from a man who combines the business prowess of Bill Gates and the promotional instincts of P. T. Barnum.

以前本科时看的书,对我的影响很大。

评分非常精彩的一本自传!最早注意到Branson是因为Virgin Atlantic在中国上海的那个歧视中国人的新闻。似乎公关做的不怎么好。看了这本书会发现此人非常具有商业头脑,重点是敢想敢做,坐热气球飞跃两大洋这个事情,如果不是看了这本书我估计都不会去想。到底人的一生还有多少可以尝试的事情呢?在书的前半部分他提到了尝试LSD得到不好的感觉所以他没有继续。我觉得他挺明智的,知道自己需要什么,该收手时就收手(比如被Coutes Bank逼债那段他没办法了只好把Virgin Music卖给EMI),但被英航欺负弄的满城风雨时,他没有退让而是毅然用各种合理手段回击BA,最后赢回了自己的美名。很喜欢海湾战争他派飞机营救伊拉克英籍人员,请求伊朗国王和萨达姆协商那段无比热血正义。
评分血本买的外文进口 开始手感一般 但是越看越喜欢 求包书皮啊~ RB偶像大叔!!!~
评分英文其实有一点点难,有些词汇貌似背红宝书的时候也没碰到,但是不影响理解。因为内容实在是太生动有趣了,完全停不下来(当然除了最后两章的文字)。Richard是个生性倔强又很有韧劲的人,他想做的事一定要做到,别人说他做不了的事也一定要做到。不知道是否有美化的成分,因为书里记录的这个人我真的是太喜欢太佩服了。
像个流水账,以时间顺序描述了自己的前半生,间或穿插当时的想法感受.自传或多或少都会修饰,或者选择性的发布,Richard应该也不能免俗,但这些都难以掩盖他的光辉事迹. I really wish I can live like this man, to do what's in mind, to fight for what I believes.
