Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer. (1,25ms)
When I opened the first "Body Shop" in 1976, my only object was to earn enough to
feed my children. Today "The Body Shop" is an international company rapidly growing all
around the world. In the years since we began, I have learned a lot. Much of what I have
learned will be found in this book, for I believe that we, as a company, have something worth
saying about how to run a successful business without giving up what we really believe in.
It's not an ordinary business book, nor is it just about my life. The message is that to
succeed in business you have to be different. Business can be fun; a business can be run
with love and it can do good. In business, as in life, I need to enjoy myself, to have a feeling
of family and to feel excited by the unexpected. I have always wanted the people who work
for "The Body Shop" to feel the same way.
Now this book sends these ideas of mine out into the world. I'd like to think there are
no limits to our "family", no limits to what can be done. I find that an exciting thought. I hope
you do, too.
