And so on…
However, the most telling interpretation of power is: a position of
control, which explains to some extent, why power remains one of the
most sought after goals in life. Great strength confidence and courage
are vital elements of power at its best.
Sometimes, power takes the forms of aggression, sometimes diplomacy, but
at all times powerful people believe in themselves and the rightness of
their goals. They prove that they are in control of their destiny and
are the architects of their lives.
At a very basic level, every individual exerts a certain degree of
personal power. A child for, instance expresses his power over his
parents through the emotional hold he or she has over them. Parents in
turn seek to control the lives of their children by laying down rules of
conduct in order to prevent them from doing wrong. Teachers wield power
of a different kind, their influence often spilling over, onto many
facts of their students lives. The best teachers in the world are those
who dominate without obvious efforts who would the lives of their
students through examples. The greatest athletes are defender of the
land have always demonstrated extraordinary power, the letter frequently
being compelled to use violence to meet their goals.
However, truly empowered persons do not need to resort to violence. They
have the creatively and the power to transform negative situations into
positive ones. Like Mahatma Gandhi, whose aim in life was to being
order out of confusion and lasting peace out of conflict?
Powerful people always take responsibility for their actions, thus
making themselves in the driver’s seat. So that they can determine the
roads they will travel to reach their destination. Power alone however,
cannot guarantee victory. Truly powerful individuals have the power and
the vision to actualize their demands. They know that in order to be
successful, one has to have clear goals. That one has to develop the
willpower to concentrate on those goals. And find ways of reaching
there, persisting right through, no matter what.
With Best Compliments.
