00:00Through the lens of the poet, he sees the world in a different perspective than all of us.
00:06It is through that lens that the visionary leader comes to life.
00:10And through the lens of the father, he sees the world with great compassion, hope and character building.
00:18And it is through this lens that he develops great leaders.
00:22And through the lens of a knight, a true equestrian,
00:25he sees the past and future linked by a common thread of heritage and belonging.
00:32And it is through this lens that he develops and upholds great values
00:37that only accept the number one in every venue and on every stage.
00:43This is the true driver of the leader, the man, the father, the knight,
00:48challenging oneself to be the number one in comparison not to the world,
00:53but in comparison to our past selves.
00:57When all those lenses meet, we see the leadership of His Highness
01:02that elevates the beauty in all, that maps paths of great vision,
01:07that has great pride for what he does.
01:10My words can't explain the impact that horses and Divine Millennium has had on his life.
01:17The words of His Highness say it all in the poems,
01:21Wonderful World of Horses and Prize and Victory.
01:26I will read the words of the first poem, Wonderful World of Horses,
01:31but I can say as great as this translation is,
01:34it does not convey the full meaning of the language that the poem was originally written.
01:41Wonderful World of Horses
01:44Who taught the horses to call me by name?
01:47After a long absence, they come forth to greet me.
01:51Welcoming and playful, happy that I came.
01:55And when I depart, they yearn for me strongly.
01:58They know my heart, their love I claim.
02:01Bright smiles they cast, they ask for me warmly.
02:05They sense my essence, the scent my hands contain.
02:09So sensitive with emotion, one's thought for humans only.
02:13When I come to them, after fates forced to frame,
02:18the stables greet me with unbridled joy loudly.
02:22It's as if they say dearest heart and proclaim,
02:26it's been long they have longed and I've been missed so dearly.
02:31Horses with stately ancestry and distinguished strains,
02:35and secrets so secret, known to those held dearly.
02:40Graceful like deer, beauty words can't explain,
02:44and the speed of the wolf suddenly upon his prairie.
02:48With skin so taut and mountains of muscular frame,
02:53strong head, strong will, powerful and brawny.
02:57Smooth to ride, and fast when you churn the reins.
03:01Post fatigue, they seem to get back in shape magically.
03:05I've seen them rush, like gushing floods sustained,
03:09with waterfalls where upon high, crawling swiftly.
03:13Watching them is like observing falcons hunting game,
03:17wingless yet flying against all odds suddenly.
03:22For beauty, they've acquired beauty again and again.
03:26So wonderfully beautiful that nothing compares to them.
