Dear Richard

OWT

Hi there Mr. Branson!
I can see that you have visited my blog. Thanks for that.
It might be difficult to understand who am I and what are my goals.
Hopefully you can see the intentionally distracted story that I have created and found out some senseful thoughts from the static noise.

I appreciate you a lot as an enteprenaur, adventurer and philantrophist. I’m not actually trying to gain a free Virgin Galaxy trip or anything alse for free, but I do think that you are truly a guy to learn from. If I had the time, I should spend a night talking with you and revealing my ideas in fighting obesity and maybe earning some bucks as well – those I could use to pay my own trip to space – and back!

Equal opportunity

OWT

People often get it wrong. Equal opportunity means that everyone can compete – not that everyone will win – no matter how hard they try.

The neverending chase of equality will destroy innovation and development. It is and will always be so, that some people fit certain task better than others, regardless off their voluntary or involuntary attributes. If a car mechanic makes better food than an educated cook, I would hire him instead.

In real life practice does not always make perfect and participation is not more important than winning. Especially in business even a good loser is just a loser and the winner takes it all.

If I was smart

OWT

If I really was that smart that I think I am, I should have no problems in getting along with the stupid ones.

That actually is the whole eccence of everything. Learn how to control those blessed with lesser brain capacity and you will rule the world.

Where I am?

OWT

Here I am. Being sitting in my closet for a month. Listening to Erik Satie’s and Gustav Holst’s beautiful music. Have I changed? Have I learned something. I don’t know.

I think my imagination is getting free. When I have not much external stimulus, my brain will make things up. I just close my eyes and I can see how I travel through the solar system. All the beautiful colors of the planets. Distant galaxies. Life.
