## Transcript

What do you think is the meaning of influence for me? It's about inclusivity. It's about diversity. It's about what is now and if what is next and we're celebrating the time 100 next and this gives me great inspiration, but also great hope and I really think we need that right now in this world the world really fucked up and there's a lot of things that people aren't aware of that. They need to be I think everyone here tries to do, you know spread the world as they see it and that's what I try to do. I just try to say the things that are often on sad the meaning of influence is what so it doesn't connotate positivity or negativity.

It is the ability to bring things out that are not there before. So whether that's in our door education science and data extrapolation, it's finding things that might be patterns or creativity and design that that's not there but influence according to me means that one is that when you look at the larger picture to see that what is the kind of impact you can make to a larger population with the strong voice that you have a drink influence is about making an impact making inspiring people around the world just by you being yourself. I miss that you can save the world from evil. And influence could be also from the bad side, but I'm glad that in this time generation.

Next future are people who are fighting for the good. And I'm glad to be among those people. I'm from Ukraine and I'm very much honored to represent you or the people of Ukraine because of my sisters and brothers in arms are now in the trenches. They are literally Fighting For Freedom with guns with weapons. And a lot of people are Sacrificing their lives for us to be able to stay here and to celebrate. So answer for me influence is being able to be here and to talk like a couple of them to get people to cooperate with you especially coming from politics. You could either coerce for people to do something that you want or you could cooperate to get something that we want together.

And that's really what's going on in Thailand where well it's a political politics is about struggle between elected officers and appointed officers. And then you're going to be able to influence we go to think if you want to be a fully Democratic country, you're going to stick to elections and make sure that there's a linkage to the people who voted for you.
