Used book – TESTIMONY, NICOLAS SARKOZY

"As long as I can remember, I've always wanted to take action. Transforming daily life, making the impossible conceivable, finding room for maneuver has always fascinated me. Politics has this unique and demanding characteristic of being done with the French, not against them, nor without them. I like the idea of collective action, towards the same goal, to give hope to millions of people. So many people have given up. Given up on believing that tomorrow can be more promising. Given up on a happier future for their children. I want to explain here that there is no inevitability for those who dare, try, undertake. In a world that is changing at high speed, immobility is the riskiest posture for our country as for every French person. I like to build, act, solve problems. I believe that everything is earned and that in the end, effort always pays off. These are my values. This is why I do politics. This is what I have come to tell you."
