Author: [[Richard Branson]] Full Title: Like a Virgin Category: #books Sometimes I wonder if the fact I was never indoctrinated into the ‘correct’ way of doing something is why, come what may, I seldom have trouble sleeping at night. The creative juices that lead to entrepreneurs starting and reviving businesses not only create employment but also help tackle some of the many challenges facing our communities, society and the planet. Best country you have visited? A: Tough call, but probably Australia. I just love the Aussies’ zest for life – a wonderful, vibrant country. Q: Favourite country? A: Much as I adore living in the British Virgin Islands it has to be the UK. It’s been very kind to me over the years. Q: Three most adventurous things you have done so far? A: Trans-Atlantic speedboating, hot-air ballooning and kite surfing. Space adventure is still to come although, ironically, it may be the least dangerous thing on this list. Q: What do you love and hate? A: I love the closeness of our family. And I hate not being able to spend a lot more time with them. Actually, I also hate the word ‘hate’. There’s way too much of it in this world. Q: What makes you laugh? A: I’m lucky. I laugh all the time. I love life, I love people, love a good joke. I really subscribe to the theory that laughter is good for the soul.
