The Iron Lady -Margaret Thatcher. RIP.

Britain's first and only female Prime Minister died today. A great Lady in her own right who believed that honesty and hard work was the way forward. She did not like the lazy "entitled" entity who were quick to point fingers and keep their hands out. Like anyone, there are always fans and detractors and I am not writing here to try and make your mind up for you. 

However, I do believe she should be remembered for a lot of things. Everyone can learn a thing or two of how or how not to do things. My one resounding memory of her was an interview that she did on a TV show.  On the show there was the presenter, an opposition politician and Margaret Thatcher. Through the interview, the politician would be putting his view across and talking over Margaret Thatcher. She sat there calmly listening to what he had to say and then picked his arguments apart one by one in a logical way. She answered his questions in a direct way, using his words. That was the day I learnt the difference between listening and hearing. Margaret Thatcher
