Welcome to my blog

Hi, welcome to my blog. My name is Fung and I am a secondary school student.
My interests are reading books, and playing outdoor sports. My most favoured sport is football, because it consists of communication and teamwork.
This blog is for saving my school work, and posting educational videos to help myself remember work I have done. Most of it will be written work, although I will post some videos.

Attributes of an Entrepreneur

There are many many many, entrepreneurs who fail. But if you become a successful entrepreneur, you can be a billionaire! But an entrepreneurs journey is painful, and lonely. Are you that type of person with these characteristics? :

Famous inspirational entrepreneurs who I personally  am inspired by are:
•Sir Richard Branson (Known for his own enterprise Virgin)
• Duncan Bannatyne. Net-worth £430m.
• Sam Walton, although deceased Sam Walton started from scratch to build up an empire of Wal-Mart.
• Steve Jobs, deceased, passed away few days ago. He said in one of his speeches, 'Stay foolish, Stay Hungry'.


Even though you may have the attributess of an entrepreneur, are you capable of becoming one? An entrepreneur has to require quite a lot of luck. Lets take Sir Richard Branson for instance, narrowly escaping death 4 times. Once on the Virgin Atlantic Challenger attempting to break a world record of crossing the Atlantic Ocean. On his second attempt on the Atlantic Ocean crossing, in reward for the Blue Riband he successfully beat the world record. His other 3 death stories all come along in a hot air balloon. Once trying to fly around the world in a helium-propelled hot air balloon, and twice trying to cross the Pacific Ocean.

But not only has he managed to narrowly escape his fate, he has also successfully started his company Virgin Airlines, even though previous airline, Lakers Airways was brought to an abrupt failure in competing against (at the time) British Airways. But Virgin Airlines successfully overcame all odds, and astonished the whole world, including Sir Freddie Laker himself.
