Everyone Has To Start Somewhere

Everyone’s got to start somewhere, even world leaders so you may be working in a factory, driving a bus or sweeping the corridors of a hospital but it doesn't mean you can't go on to rule a country and make World changing important decisions because some of the most famous politicians started out in less glamorous surroundings.
Italy's Silvio Berlusconi went from singing on cruise ships to hosting bunga bunga parties in the house of the Italian Prime Minster and Irelands Michael Higgins worked as a waiter and the President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, took that less worn route of going from Bus driver to President.
Johanna Sigurdardottir, Iceland’s Prime Minister was a Flight attendant on Icelandair and Adama Barrow, President of the Gambia was a security guard in Argos and Dmitry Medvedev, former Russian Prime Minister, began his working life sweeping the streets of Leningrad and Nicolas Sarkozy, former French President, also pushed a brush as a cleaner in Paris.
Justin Trudeau, the Canadian Prime Minister was a nightclub Bouncer and you wouldn't mess with Khaltmaagiin Battulga, President of Mongolia, who was a wrestler and another person whose first job was inflicting pain on people is Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov who today rules over Turkmenistan but started out as a dentist.
Borut Pahor, Slovenian president was a Male model and Recep Erdogan, Turkish president sold Lemonade as did Angela Merkel, former Chancellor of Germany who worked as a waitress.
The former President of Guatemala, Jimmy Morales, was fine with people laughing at him as he began as a Comedian as did Volodymyr Zelensky, President of Ukraine, who starred in a TV series in which he weirdly played the role of the President of Ukraine.
Donald Tusk, former president of the European Council was a painter and decorator and Joe Biden also knows his way around a paint brush as he was a handyman before working his way up to President while President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of Brazi was a peanut salesman and Tony Blair played in a band called Ugly Rumours and his predecessor John Mayor worked in a factory making garden gnomes.
Xi Jinping went from building site labourer to President of China and Boiko Borisov, Bulgarian prime minister was a bodyguard and Donald Trump's first job was picking up empty bottles from his father’s construction sites to redeem for cash and Barack Obama began life selling ice cream.
Pope Francis was a Nightclub bouncer in Buenos Aires so never give up because today you may be emptying the office bins of some dullard who doesn't even acknowledge you or serving drinks to some obnoxious man who clicks his fingers at you and calls you Sweetheart but one day you may be in a position to whack his tax up or build a motorway through his garden.
