the answers you normally get is to look at the gandhi's, or look at the nelson mandela's or look at theey basically tell you is these are people that are driven by a strong sense of purpose. if a person like rosa parks, by not standing up on the bus, can change the face of racial segregation in the u.s., then any individual in its own circle can make a difference. what we see is everybody can be a leader. what you have to do is encourage that. we have a lot of efforts in place. our training programs have been adapted. we work with these foundations. and have people worked there, so career paths have been changed from conventional career paths. we bring in examples from other companies. there are many ceos, but also others, that have shown that. and that gives us courage. but ultimately what gives courage to do what we do -- and it should be true for everybody -- is that we realize why we do this. ultimately, we do this because we actually belong to a very small percentage of the population, which i estimate to be about 2%. that was educated. that has comfortable jobs. that can do what t

as one of the great departed heroes of our age, nelson mandela once said, i learned that courage washe absence of fear but the triumph over it. the brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, that he who conquers that fear. and certainly there are times when i've had to repeat that to myself while holding this office. when you hear from a parade of experts just days after you're elected that another great depression is a very real possibility, that will get your attention. [laughter] when you tell a room full of young cadets that you have made a decision to send them into harm's way, knowing that some of them might not return safely, that's sobering. when you hold in your arms and mothers and fathers of innocent children gunned down in their classroom, that remind you there is evil in the world. and so you come to understand what president lincoln meant when he said, that he had been driven to his knees by the overwhelming conviction that he had no place else to go. and so like every president, like every leader, like every person, i've known fear. but my faith tells me that i need
