One who will stir the hearts of the people, so that the sons and daughters of a given nation strive to emulate their leader's greatness. Only then will a nation be truly great, when a leader inspires and produces citizens worthy of becoming future leaders, honorable decision makers and peacemakers. And in these times, a great leader must be extremely brave. Their leadership must be steered only by their conscience, not a bribe.","author":"Suzy Kassem","tags":["administration","airlines","bail","bail-out","banker","bankers","banking","banking-system","banks","best-leader","big-business","big-pharma","bipartisan","blood","books","brave","bravery","bribe","bridges","build-bridges","capitalism","censor","censorship","chaos","character","citizen","common-man","companies","confident","confident-leader","conscience","conservation","convergence","corporations","corrupt","corruption","country","critic","criticism","criticsm","darkness","decisionmakers","decison-makers","democrat","destruction","diplomacy","diplomatic","discriminate","discrimination","dissent","diversity","divide","divides","division","doctor","doctors","education","educators","election","elections","employment","environment","environmental","environmentalism","environmentalist","equality","ethnic-tolerance","fair","fairness","families","farmer","fear","for-the-people","foreign-relations","freedom","freedom-of-speech","funding","furture","future-leaders","good-leader","government","government-corruption","great-leader","great-leadership","great-nation","greatness","greed","guide","hands","hate","hatred","health-care","heart-driven","hearts","homes","honest","honest-broker","honorable","human-condition","human-life","humanity","humans","humble","hypocrisy","identify","ignorance","immaturity","immorality","improvement","incentives","indentifies","inspire","integrity","intellectualism","intelligent","job","jobs","justice","law","lawlessness","lead","leader","leaders","leadership","leadership-characteristics","leadership-traits","libraries","library","lie","lies","lobbyist","losing","love","make-america-great-again","man-on-the-street","mankind","monetary","monetary-profit","money","money-driven","morality","mortage","mortages","multinational","nation","oil","oil-tycoon","peace","peaceful","peacekeeper","peacemaker","peacemakers","people","pharma","pharmaceutical","pick-a-leader","picking-sides","political-science","politics","preservation","president","presidential","protection","public","race","race-tolerance","racism","religious-tolerance","republican","school","schools","scrutiny","secrecy","security","segregation","selecting","serves-the-people","silencing-dissent","sly","society","speech","spending","stability","street","street-level","strong","teacher","teachers","team","terror","tolerance","tolerate","transparency","truth","truthfulness","understand","understanding","unite","unites","uniting","unity","vote","voter","voting","walls","war","we-the-people","weapons","wisdom","word"],"id":77345,"author_id":"Suzy+Kassem"},{"text":"Most of us don't fear that we are not enough; what most of us really fear is our own greatness.
