If you care about other people, you might try to organize to undermine power and authority. That's not going to happen if you care only about yourself.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
How can I govern others, who can't even govern myself?
Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you.
You can't please everyone. When you're too focused on living up to other people's standards, you aren't spending enough time raising your own. Some people may whisper, complain and judge. But for the most part, it's all in your head. People care less about your actions than you think. Why? They have their own problems!
So long as you've got your friends about you, and a good positive attitude, you don't really have to care what everyone else thinks.
How shall I be able to rule over others, that have not full power and command of myself?
Do what you can to show you care about other people, and you will make our world a better place.
If you care about what you do, you don't want to let people down.
I don't really care what other people see me as. I seriously don't. I've always worried about what my opinion of myself is. And I've always thought that it carries most weight. So I don't care what other people's opinion of me is or how they view whatever I've said or done.
As a leader, I am tough on myself and I raise the standard for everybody; however, I am very caring because I want people to excel at what they are doing so that they can aspire to be me in the future.
Surround yourself with the best people you can find, delegate authority, and don't interfere as long as the policy you've decided upon is being carried out.
