From a poor kid vendor, a shoeshine boy and a metal worker, Lula rose to become the president of Brazil. He is calm recalling the hardships in his early age. "Life taught me to become the person I am today," says the Brazilian president as he bares his heart to CMG's Wang Guan in this extraordinary glimpse into what makes a leader. "I will always remember where I came from. Being a president is not a profession, it is to represent the Brazilian people." His mission is to improve the lives of the poorest and ensure they have jobs. It is to provide health care to the poorest, driven by his experience as a teen when he had to wait for hours for medical treatment after an accident in the factory where he worked.
