The Richard Branson Story
What are you going to do after you graduate? You know, many young people don’t have a clue about what they want to do with their lives—so they do nothing!
Others, however, are career minded. Their intense focus on their career goals provides the motivation they need to prepare themselves—one day at a time, carefully making choices along the way. Many former students who prepared themselves are now enjoying success in the job market.
And even though the job market has changed dramatically because of technological advances, and even though many are not doing what they once thought they would, they still are very successful. You see, their focus kept them motivated enough through their teens to build a solid foundation that would serve them in any career. Yes, focusing on the idea of having a career is a really good thing!
