Screw It Let's Do It - Lessons in life by Richard Branson

We are inspired by some people to the core, and Richard Branson is one of those some special people for me.
A man who has done so much in life, who has risked so much in life just to be himself is definitely one from whom you need to take a leaf.
This book is a short read, can be completed in a couple of hours; but inspires one to the core, probably one of the best books which I can compare with the likes of 'Alchemist'. Why did I choose this smaller book when I could have read the bigger one... well no explanation to that its just the paucity of time and the let me try it out first (may be I fell to the trap of what the marketing genius wanted me do .... would be more than happy for this one... coz it given me a lot more)
Some of the lessons shared in the book are worth being mentioned in a lot of places. Here are some of those gems which I would like to share; probably more relevant to those who would start off and experiment, the adventure type... every one would take something out of these definitely. So here I go
