The difference between net or gross... gives hope to us dyslexic people. We love visuals that’s how we learn.👏🏼👏🏼🎉🥇
Totally agree. We are visual people. That is why ART is so important. When we look back at history, ART was used before words to communicate MAPS (foraging) and a way of life. butterflylullaby.blogspot.com/2019/03/dyslexic-richard-branson-hit-hurt-by.html
I can still recall when I was held back in the third grade and put into special education classes. Of course I didn't imagine anything was wrong with me until it was pointed out that I operated differently in terms of group educational (dyslexia) learning. However, what really hurt me the most was being told that I was lazy, I didn't try hard enough, and most damaging that I was unintelligent. These conversations not only derailed my learning process, they killed myself motivation. Counselors basically told me my life was over and I would eventually drop out of school or end up in prison, and this was devastating. Regrettably, self prophesied by me and my behavior. Yet deep inside I believed them. I felt I didn't deserve opportunities bestowed upon me. It took me 35 years to undo this curse placed upon a black child so many decades ago. As I sit down to write this carefully, I'm still careful with the words I choose and the words I lay upon others. With this being said, basically, we should be careful how we talk to our children because they hang on our every word searching for validation.

I'm happy you made it to University as someone who has Dyslexia. I hope to do the same one day.
Best wishes to you bud.
You made it achieving your goals. I agree words are powerful. I know how frustrating it is but with perseverance and patience you can achieve. Amen 🙏
I was 15 when I left school too. It was boring. Mathmatically I was stunted. But went back in my 30s. Richard is such an Inspiration to millions. Thank you.
I still have Sky Diving in my Bucket List🤙
Lovely chap! I myself have Aspergers and dyslexia. I've always noticed people criticise me for being different and liking certain things.
I'm only 19 studying in university. Life is hard at these times as you don't exactly know what the outcome will be. But always stay positive. :)
ive always looked up to him!
@ZHG FEILDMARSHALL aka Star Wars fan Star Wars so you clearly click on the video just to hate 🤣🤣
Hes a wonderful man and a true gentleman .
I admire his spirit.
EPIC STORY 🏆
Another great interview graham!
I have Dyslexic and I feel it would have helped if i recognised it earlier, But deep down I did know something was wrong, however i hid behind. my personality to cope and get by as I was embraced to ask for help........ at 57 now I don't care.........I guess its never to late to get help right...Great video Richard...
I think in every country in the world should have assisted technology for adult people with dyslexia help read and write mandatory. In school, All kind of libraries, courthouses, State House, government buildings, trade schools, organizations that help you find jobs, Banks, credit union colleges. I believe we got far in with helping dyslexia people but not enough for the adults that's dealing with it everyday.
thanks for posting this🥰
I remember I used to hide my maths results from my parents for being dyslexic and sitting hopelessly in the maths test while others just got on with it.

God closed a door but opened a window. Blessed.
Totally agree. Richard Branson is a children's hero for speaking out against this abusive system they claim is Education: butterflylullaby.blogspot.com/2019/03/dyslexic-richard-branson-hit-hurt-by.html
I have been just coming to cope that I am dyslexic and suffer through many of the same common issues. Does anyone know what kind of doctor would medically diagnosis my finding ?
This guy makes up fantastic stories

He knows the different between gross and hot.
That's all that matters really.
Do Floyd Mayweather Jr. next
He doesn't need anyone to interview him. Just put a mic in front of his face.
Or just use scientology to fix it
Bring back boarding schools.
