Robin Horsfall says
“Never let people tell you what you can't do!”
He promotes self-reliance and determination focusing on taking every opportunity life provides. He refuses to be a victim, rejects self-pity but recognises the steps to success are not inherent. Firm, studied mentorship, and guidance from the best people draw out the best in others. ‘Leadership’ he says, ‘is showing the way, setting a good example with integrity and courage’.
“Do not let others steal your voice”
Self-respect germinates in self-belief. Courage requires an individual to accept the consequences of their actions and stand by them. Standing by those who have courage, refusing to stand by silently while others suffer. Understanding words are weapons, they can heal or kill. Developing words is like developing armour and weapons they provide defences against the brutal, cruel and indifferent.
