THINK LIKE MRS EVE.

Eve as her multi billionaire son calls her is one of the many faces of hope and inspiration.
She lives in this age of ours but remains an integral part of a generation gone, having lived for decades.
In her early and youthful age was when women were seen but not heard. It was for real when the world was a piece of cake kept for the men’s folk. Yet she broke all the barriers around her to carve a niche for herself.
Barrier in the form of age, sex, color and creed was up beat but she rode against all odds to success. For her NO is a mere two alphabets written together but not a final answer to any demand. Thus any ‘YOU CANT’ situation is not meant for her. For her there is always an alternative to any set or sets of rule to suit anyone who desires to get or own whatsoever it be. For her, persuasion, persistence, strategizing and never give up till your heart desires are placed on your palms are what garrisoned her heart.

During the war, Eve wanted to be a pilot. She took a step to the Heston Airfield and asked to be enlisted as a pilot. She was turned down on the ground that the job was an exclusive reserve for men. Being a dancer, a beauty with blonde hair, of cause she never looked like a man, she went back and worked on her appearance, back she went to the same office asking for the same job again. And she clinched it. Guess what she did, she wore a leather flying jacket, hid her blonde hair under a helmet and spoke in a deeper smooth voice.
Having learnt flying or call it gliding, she became rose to become a flying instructor teaching the younger men how to rule the skies. Among her students were the young ambitious, fearless and successful pilots who flew fighter planes in the Battle of Britain.
When the war came to an end, having enjoyed the career on the air, she opted to be an air hostess, today’s equivalent of cabin crew. There she met another stumbling block and turned it to a stepping stone.

Back then once again, air hostesses must be multi lingual and must speak Spanish. Added to that is the rule that they must equally have been trained and certified a nurse. She lacked both credentials, but her power of persuasion has not left her. She had audience with one of the superiors on night shift at the airline, chatted him up and at the end of the day convinced the man and her name found its way into the employed list of air hostesses. She had a wonderful career once again on air yet deficient of their basic requirement. She could not speak Spanish and she was not a nurse!

Did I hear you say whao!
It is possible only if you can think it’s possible.
Who said the rules could not be bent to suit you?
Do you desire any thing, just keep calm and go for it.
This woman in her family has a slogan “let’s do it”
No wonder she gave birth to someone of her style of thinking and adventure, the multi billionaire Richard Branson, the proud owner and brain behind the virgin group.
