Richard Branson and Overcoming Obstacles
Those of us that know quite a bit about Richard Branson, know that he struggled tremendously through his school years. Not only was it a challenge for him, but evidently, it was a nightmare. He had dyslexia, and as a result he had to memorize or recite every word when he was in public.
Like a lot of people, he had to grapple through the school system that wasn't able or built to measure the types of strengths that he had. In spite of the results of various tests that measured what was weak in him, rather than strong, he kept on 
and didn't give up on what he was passionate about.
From his early years, he had immeasurable things like inner drive, ambition, looking for open doors when others shut in his face, and especially the ability to connect with people; which to this day is one of his primary strengths.
Another powerful trait that he has in connection with people isn't only his ability to motivate them to get what he wants, but even more important, he is able to flame the ambitions of others to get them to rise up to grab hold of their dreams and go after them.
Of course part of Branson's genius is making his dreams and their dreams one, and creating the type of partnership that is extremely difficult to compete against successfully.
Don't be discouraged about how various system-created tests measure you or your abilities. Most abilities that count in business cannot be measured or identified successfully. The reason is because you can't measure what's inside a human being. It's there that success is ultimately determined. Branson has never let what others say affect what he wants to accomplish ... neither should we.
