When I was a school boy, I remember the other boys and I were talking about what we would do if there was a nuclear war. Everyone else agreed that they would rather die than survive and try to live in the aftermath of such a war. I, on the other hand, felt strongly that I would want to survive and live. There has always been a strong sense of survival in me and the belief that a better world can be created and will be created. I was born two months premature and I guess that strong sense of survival, that determined will to live, was born in me then and carried me through that delicate time into today.
