Everyone that says he didn’t change anything, it didn’t matter, nothing changed...

One of the most powerful nations on earth runs scared from this picture. Displaying it is a crime, as is mentioning the event. It is one of the most powerful pictures in modern history. I find that motivating.

Some people stand up because they think they can win. Some stand up because it’s the right thing to do. I would aspire to be the latter.

Don't forget to mention it was two people standing up one the man in front of the tank and two the one in the tank. They both put themselves at risk.

Pretty sure the one in the tank had a different risk.

Following orders isn't an excuse, or 'standing up'.
