5. Richard Branson, Virgin Founder: Spread the Work, Spread the Wealth

5.理查德·布兰森，维珍品牌创始人：给别人工作，财富才会滚滚来

Sir Richard Branson suffers from severe dyslexia, but he's come to regard it as his greatest strength. Branson runs his Virgin Group as a venture capital fund that places bets on entrepreneurs with bright ideas that fit the Virgin brand strategy. He's never tempted to micro-manage any of the dozens of Virgin companies because he can't. "If I could read a balance sheet," he once said, "I wouldn't have done anything in life." In sum, work your strengths and get others to work theirs.

理查德·布莱森爵士患有严重的失语症，但他却把这当做自己的巨大优势。布莱森将他的维珍集团运营为一家风险投资基金，将赌注压在了那些具有奇思妙想并且符合维珍品牌战略的企业家身上。他从未考虑过对那些数量巨大的维珍旗下公司进行管理，因为他没法这么干。“假如我看一张资产负债表，”他曾说，“那我生活中什么事儿都干不了了。”总而言之，你要让你的优势发挥作用并且让他人也能发挥他们的优势。

6. Steve Jobs, Apple Founder: Nothing Succeeds Like Failure

6.史蒂夫·乔布斯，苹果创始人：失败乃成功之母

Steve Jobs had a vision, back in the 1980s, for a three-dimensional imaging computer that would revolutionize the defense, oil, and medical industries. He was wrong about it, and he lost millions of his own dollars before shutting down production of the $125,000 Pixar Imaging Computer in 1991. At the time, Pixar's only profitable unit was a tiny team of animators using Pixar software to make computer-generated TV commercials--a team that would later form the Pixar movie studio that made Toy Story. And when Jobs died in 2011, more than 70 percent of his $8.3 billion fortune came from his stake in Pixar Studios, in an industry he never had any intention of entering.
