Every now and again someone makes a speech that stands out and starts to make the rounds. On this occasion it was the President of Slovenia Nataša Pirc Musar. Part of her wikipedia entry reads as follows:
“Pirc Musar studied law at the University of Ljubljana’s's Faculty of Law in 1992, where Marko Ilešič, later a judge at the European Court of Justice, was her supervisor. In 1997, she passed the bar exam, and later started working at the Radio-Television Slovenia, where she worked for six years as a journalist and host of the central news program. Later, for five years, she was the presenter of the central news program 24UR on the commercial television channel POP TV. In 2001, she became the head of the corporate communication department at Aktiva Group, where her husband Aleš Musar worked.
Pirc Musar completed additional training at CNN in Atlanta, Georgia. She then continued her studies for two semesters at the University of Salford in England, during which she did internships at the BBC, Granada TV, Sky News, Reuters TV and Border TV. In 2015 she obtained a PhD at the University of Vienna's Faculty of Law with a dissertation on a fair balance between privacy rights and the freedom of information.”

It should be noted that her studies in law began at the age of 24 and she obtained her doctorate 23 years later at the age of 47. Her life has been one of continuous employment as well as education. This speech has had over 1.4 millions views so far on YouTube. I’m sure it will make its way around the world.
