Most if not all great leaders and entrepreneurs in history have come from humble beginnings with little or no formal education...Henry Ford was a son of a hard working farmer, Rothschild, Thomas Edison all came from unremarkable beginnings...the likes of Walt Disney was a former bankrupt before he built his empire, Lincoln taught himself how to read and write by first scratching his name in the dirt floor of his (cruel) fathers cabin...
What these great men, these great leaders of industry had in common was that they originated from amongst "the common man"...they understood what it is like to have very little, they learnt from business failures in the ways others did not...the dream or vision for their industry or their country that each individual brought to bare...had no equal, nor did they listen to the 'Nay Sayers' of the time...
There exists a burning feeling, a nagging but recurring thought that keeps in one's mind, you don't know why at the time and it seems that this same sense of yourself has been there all your life...that you have been building up to a point (in a latter part of your existence)...all your life...that every up and down, every industry, job and pathway taken to this point was for an ultimate reason but it was not clear until now...what you must do.
I am in no way perfect...I have made mistakes...I have regretted words and actions over my life as has most people I think, but I can say this...there has always been a line I won't cross, I am my harshest critic...I want to you all to again feel that as a future leader I have your back, that everything will be okay...I believe to be compassionate, caring and soft to others (when the need arises) is NOT a weakness but a great character strength...I do get emotional...I do feel peoples pain...but I do not suffer fools nor take a backward step when facing the most aggressive nature of others, it is who I am...I am you...I am us.....I am Stuart Howe...and I am.....ready to be your Member Of Parliament in 2022.
