What makes me tick…?
May 3rd, 2008 by andrewfiskTo go into politics one has to have a thick skin, but also a ‘Great Heart’… I hope and pray I have both…
In the last two months I have started a hectic Test analyst position and fought an extremly tough target seat (Rodborough District Ward) I have coped with personal problems as well and I have succed beyond a lot of peoples expectations.
So ‘what makes me tick?’
I am not a great extrovert. I quake every time I have to speak to a group of more than 5 or 6 people. I get ‘nerves’ in new social situations. I can’t remember faces or names or anecdotes… So why do I put myself through it all?
I will tell you. I have experienced such ‘Darkness’ in my life … I have seen and been in situations which I would term ‘My personal Hell’… I know of people who still in that state of mind / being…
I do Politics because I can… If I don’t stand up for the weak and suffering who will? Who else understands as well as me? What would be the point of my life if I took the easy route?
All very dramatic. I hope not sounding melodramatic… I love my life, my liberty, my family and friends and I have very strong faith. And I want everyone to have the same Freedom.
That is enough.
