    Amazingly positive words from a man who just ended his tour of duty on this earth. RIP, Colin Powel, American hero and role model. Excellent advice for all.

      One of the few honest Republicans in this world. A man who really returned to the right track after supporting the diplomatic thaws that Obama did with Cuba and Iran. And he did it as a way to free himself from the heavy load that he carried for over 10 years after being blackmailed by Cheney's lies.

    “It ain’t where you start in life. It’s where you end and what you did along the way.” This speech was very inspiring. I needed some reassurance that getting on the honour roll has nothing to do with how successful you'll be in life. Because I've tried and tried for the past 3.5 years but to no avail, but that disappointment never deterred me from working hard, because I've always been a determined hard worker and I will continue to be.

      He was the only member of the infamous Bush administration who really had the guts to support the diplomatic thaws that Obama did with Cuba and Iran.
