A recognized entrepreneur, Richard Branson, only a few weeks ago, made a moving story of his private life public which he published on LinkedIn. In a heart-filled post, Branson admitted that he was just like anybody else, including himself, who had dyslexia during his school days, and it was actually reflected in his school report from 65 years ago.
Btw, he shared a post about his experiences in school where he said that his teachers were cutting him rude ‘bad reviews.’ He later acknowledged he wasn’t aware he had dyslexia. A school report mentioned his struggles with spelling and reading, which stood in strange contrast to the book he was prepping to launch by audiobook.
But the impediments certainly used weren’t enough to discourage his indomitable spirit. He was very excited that he shouldn’t allow the start disorder such as dyslexia, which might stop his greatness from shining through, and then aim to encourage those who may be demoralized academically. Branson always brought to our attention the fact that life offers us innumerable chances, not just high school grades.
Since the release of his post, Jeff’s post has amassed more than 33,000 reactions and attracted an enormous number of Kind words from different people across all the countries. One LinkedIn account, that gathers its source of information as a high school counsellor, brought out the sensation which a poor grade report can give a student with the main purpose of showing the necessity of noticing any effort and progress.
Some of the other comments also highlighted resilience and the ability to endure difficult times, and those expressed similar stories about overcoming challenges in their lives. Branson’s travel was a potent source of motivation, as it could have spoken to those who struggle with their own hurdles.
Through Branson’s admission of the crude report and his message of hope that misfortunes should not determine our success, Branson has struck a chord with everyone, reminding us that failure should not be our ultimate destination.
