it must be hard to be president


suddenly by fate or by destiny you have the power, the prestige, the attention, the adoration or otherwise by countless people. your air carrier is named after a number, one, which is you, the number one citizen of your land. you are now very, very famous even around the world for you represent your country in every aspect and in every turn. you are put into the fryer to be fried, put in the pedestal to be honored, adored and loved. you'll be in the history books forever. your name and your legacy will be diced by historians, read by scholars and students alike long after you're gone. you have plenty of perks to go along with your job...but i see it as a test of your humanity, never mind your intelligence for in some countries, leaders are not voted for that. it is a test of your will power to run, to discern, and to resists various temptations in your position, financially or otherwise. at the end a president who knew first hand that they have that rare chance in their hands that only a chosen few have been blessed to have and that is to turn around a life, lift a country, govern in honesty and integrity and at the end of his term could look at his face in that mirror and let out a true smile for himself not for others and think about God, then whatever the outcome of his presidency, this man had lived truly, had lived in contentment and is at peace with himself :) getting there to be president is hard, but getting to be or acting to be one real president is a struggle if not a challenge. and only the wise would be successful and only the one with a burning love for humanity would have that vision for success...
