You should have to fight and fight to win. There is no roof for the losers. If you lose don’t come back. You will have disgraced the country and the country won’t accept you.

A ‘Yes man’ is a dangerous man. He is a menace. He will go very far. He can become a minister, a secretary or a Field Marshal but he can never become a leader nor, ever be respected.

Professional knowledge and professional competence are the main attributes of leadership.

Give me a man or a woman with common sense and who is not an idiot and I assure you can make a leader out of him or her.
