Fight For Your Dreams

 
 
Fellow blogger and T-host Elizabeth reminded us that today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King.
 
He impressed many people worldwide and I remembered this speech - from pre-Russian-war against Ukraine:
Dr. Vitali Klitschko, former heavy weight boxer world champion and now Mayor of Kiev,  gave in Oxford University a speech encouraging young students to

fight for their dreams
 
Please note he learned English only later in life as he saw no reason being caught behind the iron curtain of USSR - I think considering this he does a great job. He speaks German (lived in Hamburg for many years) and Russian (and who knows what else also).

I think it´s a Dr.-King-inspired speech and... well, let us FIGHT. In a POSITIVE way.

 I´ll need to fight, too.. to get my job back. That is my tiny dream.

Love Henry's offspring with his paw print! Yes indeed, your job is certainly worth fighting for, and not a small thing at that! Unless you want something different, of course. Thanks for remembering Dr. King today, what a leader he was.

...today in the US has been a day of contrast. We honored a true King and ended up with a wantabe king!

Our First Felon had his coronation today. At least his dreams came true.

Yes, fighting for your dreams is important.I am so impressed when people can speak multiple languages. One of the bad parts of growing up when and where I did I guess. Hope you had a super Monday. hugs-Erika

Yes, fight for your job! I have given up on a few dreams, but I still have a couple.

Excellent message. Thank you!

Well, Elizabeth gave me the idea! :-)
And I think we all should follow their example, fight for our dreams!

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, that is so true, too... What a coincidence...

Life is funny sometimes...

You´re welcome,why not share your story? I saw you have a blog-section on your site (we have wood and tiles all over, just one "carpet", a little "hopscotch" when you enter our small condo).

Here you have to learn at least English, and on secondary schools Latin or France (sadly not Spanish). It was quite a Monday... hugs!

I gave up on the big dream to come to your country permanently. You hit 50 you´re out. We waited too long... But with Ingo´s health it probably was for the best...

Iris Flavia said...

You´re welcome. As said, Elizabeth reminded me.
