Although some are my own views, it is a 'speech' designed to inspire confidence in it's 'target audience'.

I would take issue with your assertion that we all have the ability to be leaders. I don't think it's something that can be learned or aquired. An inborn ability can certainly be honed and steered, but I do believe the seed needed to have been sown at birth. Having said all that, it is a great read and a piece from which many would-be entreprenuers could benefit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1741504605630732992.post-58806785745661430952008-11-02T09:38:00.000+07:002008-11-02T09:38:00.000+07:00Thanks to:Bella Rum; Who we become and what we ach...Thanks to:<BR/>Bella Rum; Who we become and what we achieve, are the product of those who influence us.<BR/>Jeques; Self belief, and even doubts expressed by others can be motivation enough to prove your worth.<BR/>Danni; I wanted to send a strong message - to another character in the story.Stan Skihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963655096635414472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1741504605630732992.post-27586696886764152802008-11-02T07:46:00.000+07:002008-11-02T07:46:00.000+07:00powerful and thought provoking!!!powerful and thought provoking!!!dannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675797306131871129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1741504605630732992.post-8502305664597426422008-11-02T00:39:00.000+07:002008-11-02T00:39:00.000+07:00Stan,You could effectively write self-help books, ...Stan,<BR/><BR/>You could effectively write self-help books, your writing voice has that great inclination to make an impact in that genre.
