Complexity of Security Policy, Confidence-building and Leadership

Each one of us in this world of billions of people has useful contributions and influence to make regardless of the rank. Every time we are faced with a policy decision to advise on, let us never underestimate that our advice can someday reach the top, including the UN Security Council. Our advice can change the world for the better, so let us not waste those opportunities.
