in which he forgave, you know,
1
18800
2680
00:21
people who did so much wrong against him
2
21480
2880
00:24
and then he came out in a really elegant

2920
00:27
and respectful way, but still strong.
4

00:32
And I think that's why he has attracted that global recognition
5
32200
5080
00:37
of his quiet leadership style,
6

00:52
you have to be able to demonstrate that you are committed,

And our... and our elders, you know,

01:12
have got so much experience and wisdom,
14

01:14
just by having lived on this earth,
15

you know, for so long.

Knowing that you can't please everybody all of the time,
17

01:43
to go through some kind of an evaluation
20
103200

or assessment process,

105520
2760
01:48
you know, fairly early on into their term
22

to get some professional feedback on how they going.
