Andy Peers - The BIG Issue

WE had a guest speaker Andy Peers who came in to tell us the importance of not losing who you are in your specific industry and that appearances do not matter. No matter what background you are for example he works with people from the big issue and because of this some people treat him and everyone else differently. He basically talked about his life and experiences there all the jobs he had in his life and how he over came difficult situations such as a newspaper taking advantage of one of the big issue people taking drugs. He explained from this that he used it to his advantage he showed people that it was this newspaper that was fighting an argument with a homeless man and got through to some people this way but in the big picture thats all people see -  a homeless big issue man taking drugs. He told us to actually see the big picture and think about the things you do and how you would like to be treated. Go out in the world and fight for what you believe in but do it the way that you want to see the world. With respect and manners. He showed us a very inspirational speech by Charlie Chaplin, it really got to me, i think him coming in to talk was a great idea
