Paul Polman, CEO Unilever One Young World Speech

Alexander the Great became king of Macedon when he was 20.
By the time he was 30, he had created one of the largest empires
of the ancient world. Undefeated in battle, he is considered one
of history's most successful commanders.
Joan of Arc led the French army in the siege of Orleans aged 19.
And yes, she was a woman.
Christabel Pankhurst, another woman, was 23 when she co-
founded the movement that led to votes for women in the UK.
In more recent times, Richard Branson founded the Virgin Group
at 20, Steve Jobs founded Apple at 21, Mark Zuckerberg set up
Facebook aged 20.
What these people have in common is not that they were
outstandingly gifted, or even well educated.
They all share a passionate belief in their cause.
They all started a movement or a network that others were
inspired to join, and all were committed to building a different kind
of future. A passion for a better world based on dignity and
respect for the common good. A passion simply to make a
lasting difference.
