Appearances are not truth. But every politician knows that his or her image, as well as his or her actions, can make the difference between failure and success.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The most successful politicians are the ones who embrace their best traits while turning their liabilities into loveable attributes. And yet, many a candidate tries to run as something they aren't simply because the strategy dictates it.
Most politicians are vain. Many of them are stupid.
Appearances are often deceiving.
I teach students that what people say about failure in politics is mostly wrong. People always told me, 'They'll praise you on your way up and kick you on your way down.' That wasn't my experience. I can't walk down the street in Toronto without someone coming up and saying hello.
Politicians make mistakes. People misspeak in public. God knows I have proven both. A lot.
I think success shows a person's true colors.
No man can be a failure if he thinks he's a success; If he thinks he is a winner, then he is.
Through perseverance many people win success out of what seemed destined to be certain failure.
I don't think success makes one confident. I think it has more to do with character than circumstance.
If you're successful, you must express a modest appearance.
