My sister and I grew up in a little village in England. Our father was a struggling, but I always knew he was special. He neverus, but used praise toour best. He’d say, “If you pour water on flowers, they flourish. If you don’t give them, they die.” I remember as a child I saidunkind about somebody, and my father said, “ time you say something unpleasant about somebody else, it’s a reflection of you.” He that if I looked for the best in people, I would get the best. From then on I’ve always tried to follow thein my life and later in running my company. Dad’s always been very understanding. At 15, I started a magazine. It was taking up a greatof my time, and the headmaster of my school gave me a choice:stay in school or leave tomy magazine. I decided to leave, and Dad tried to sway(使动摇) me from my decision, any good father would. When heI had made up my mind, he said, “Richard, when I was 23, my dad persuaded me to go into law. And I’ve always it. I wanted to be a biologist, but I didn’t my dream. You knowyou want. Go fulfill it.” As it, my little publication went on to become Student, a national magazine for young people in the U.K. My wife and I have two children, and I’d like to think we are bringing them in the same wayDad raise me.
