Richard Austin Quest
QUEST Means BUSINESS is the name of the TV show and maybe his trademark.
And really, everything about this international anchor on CNN is serious. If you see the number of hashtags both on Instagram and Twitter—#RichardQuestInNigeria that trended during his two-day shoot on CNN in Nigeria, obviously he is living up to his name. The Hashtag had 8,074,144 impressions, and during that time a total of 1,500 tweets and 368 Instagram posts were shared. The Hashtag reached 4,135,486 people with more than 941 contributors.
The CNN Business editor, presenter, and author has adorned our television screens with constant business news for years.
Quest is extraordinarily amazing behind TV with his brilliant, skilled, and fluent performance. Because of his outstanding performance, he also hosts additional CNN broadcasts such as "Business Traveler," " The Express," and "Quest's World of Wonder," as well as several other shows. The excitement he adds to these shows makes him a unique personality, and he's known as one of the most recognized CNN team members.
Every month, during his Quest series "World of Wonder," he explores new destinations and meets extraordinary people who speak about the heart of their cities. Since 1987, almost all personalities from the business and finance sectors, airline executives, and world market leaders have been his guests. Quest is considered the leading business aviation commentator in the world. And you can't take it from him, like always a confident and tough interviewer.
Maybe without Quest, not every credible business meeting in the world will end if he is not there, because he regularly reports on every major business-related gathering including the IMF and the G20 meetings. He attends every year the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland. Quest would only be there to cover the meeting, but on time and reliably too.
I remember Quest appeared on the screens, reporting on the unfortunate incident of the breaking news story of Yasser Arafat. I watched him report the death of Yasser Arafat as well as the King of Pop, the Wacko Jacko, Michael Jackson. This time, he was a little emotional, because he wasn't in his usual smile. For me, I felt he was doing extremely well at BBC as the North America business correspondent until he moved to CNN. And I said to myself, "This guy is far beyond the borders." Quest dispels the myth that business news is boring, and bridges the gap between the harsh economy and entertainment television.
Unfortunately, Quest was arrested in 2008 for drugs in New York. After going through this traumatic experience, a judge ordered Quest to seek counseling for six months after he was arrested for possessing controlled substances in Central Park. This obstacle did not break him on his work. On the contrary, it rather increased his confidence to the highest level. He worked hard, and won the 2013 Lifetime Achievement Award as a business journalist covering the tourism industry. This award was given to him by the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO).
On Quest's experience, his motivation helped him overcome this unfortunate incident. He could have stopped working forever, and gotten involved in something else, but he didn't. Motivation is a key factor in any environment in which you are.
This rating assesses how much your rational and emotional elements can withstand obstacles that prevent you from doing it. In fact, motivation helps you learn more about who you really are. And that's what Richard Quest did. He never strayed, but continued and achieved his ambitions.
Richard Austin Quest is a British citizen and holds an LLB (Hons) degree from the University of Leeds. And has been called to the bar.

Giving Up To Pressures Of Life Can Tame You!
As humans, in any case we will undoubtedly confront such a large number of difficulties as we venture through life. And obviously, these difficulties helps us in differing approaches to stay on our feet and battle on to progress. That is the motivation behind why a few investigations have uncovered that, it’s better for every single individual to seek for a disguised ENEMY if you don’t have one.

Embracing The Darkness
In the depths of night, when the world is cloaked in shadows and silence reigns, there exists a realm of solitude where personal narratives unfold. It is in these moments, alone in the dark, that we confront our deepest fears, grapple with our innermost desires, and embark on a journey of self-discovery that transcends the boundaries of time and space.Every individual possesses a unique narrative, a tapestry of experiences woven together by the threads of joy and sorrow, triumphs and tribulations. These narratives, like constellations scattered across the night sky, guide us through the labyrinth of life, illuminating our path with the light of self-awareness and introspection.For some, being alone in the dark evokes a sense of trepidation, a fear of the unknown that lurks in the shadows. Yet, it is precisely in this darkness that we find the courage to confront our deepest fears, to face the demons that haunt the recesses of our minds. It is here, in the silence of the night, that we discover the strength within ourselves to emerge victorious, to transcend the limitations of our fears and emerge stronger, more resilient than before.In my own personal narrative, the darkness has been both a source of solace and a crucible of transformation. There have been moments when I have felt lost in the labyrinth of my own thoughts, overwhelmed by the weight of uncertainty and doubt. Yet, it is in these moments of darkness that I have found the clarity to see beyond the illusions of fear and uncertainty, to embrace the light of hope and possibility that resides within me.One such moment occurred during a period of profound loss and grief in my life. As I grappled with the pain of saying goodbye to a loved one, I found myself consumed by darkness, engulfed in a sea of sorrow that threatened to drown me. In those long, lonely nights, I felt the weight of despair pressing down upon me, suffocating me with its relentless intensity.Yet, it was in the midst of that darkness that I discovered a glimmer of light, a flicker of hope that refused to be extinguished. It was the memory of my loved one, their laughter echoing in the chambers of my heart, their spirit guiding me through the darkness like a beacon in the night. In their absence, I found the strength to carry on, to honor their memory by living my life with purpose and passion.In the silence of the night, I began to unravel the tangled threads of my grief, to find meaning amidst the chaos of loss. I sought solace in the beauty of nature, finding solace in the gentle embrace of the moonlight as it bathed the world in its soft, silver glow. I found comfort in the words of poets and philosophers, whose wisdom illuminated the path ahead with its timeless truths. Slowly but surely, I began to emerge from the darkness, like a phoenix rising from the ashes of despair. With each passing day, I felt the heaviness in my heart begin to lift, replaced by a sense of peace and acceptance that I had not known before. I realized that while the darkness had tested my resolve, it had also forged within me a resilience that would carry me through even the darkest of times.Today, as I look back on that journey through the darkness, I am filled with gratitude for the lessons it has taught me. I have learned that even in our darkest moments, there is always a glimmer of light to guide us forward, to remind us that we are never truly alone. I have learned that it is in facing our fears that we find the courage to transcend them, to embrace the fullness of life with open arms.In the tapestry of personal narratives that weave together the fabric of human experience, the darkness is but a thread, a fleeting moment in the grand symphony of life. Yet, it is a thread that holds within it the power to transform, to inspire, to illuminate the darkest corners of our souls. And so, as I journey forth into the unknown, I do so with a heart full of hope and a spirit renewed by the wisdom of the darkness.
