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.

Narratives, Newspapers, and Novels

It has been 1 month into my summer holiday already, and I've been reading quite a few books. So far my summer holiday has been a time to take a rest from school holiday, time to sit, chill relax that sort. But anyways, I've had a whole pile of books stacked on top of each other right next to my bed. And I've read down until there is only 2 left. But I find that there are a lot of books or novels, that I have read are really boring, not eye-catching at all, thick, long, small-fonted etc.


So I want to relate this post to the post 'Features of a Newspaper' that has a list of what a Newspaper has.


What is the purpose of creating narratives, newspapers, novels? There could be quite a few reasons, making money, entertaining the audience, just for the sake of fun, its a wild adventure to write one. There are probably millions of reasons to become a writer, journalist, or a poet etc.


But to become a good writer you have to have good quality of writing, but also you have to make the book/ novel, narrative, newspaper etc. appealing to your audience, or else they will simply not pick it up. So I've returned 3 books that were written by Robert Ludlum just because the book cover, was too dull and boring (plain grey). The thickness of the book bore me to death, and lost my motivation for me to read it, and also the font size was too small so I couldn't read it.


So it relates to the South China Morning Post because there are elements that you would need to insert in your writing to capture your audience, make puns, jokes that are suitable for the age group etc.


Anyways, hope you all enjoy your summer holidays!
