Power Play: Be a great example – not a terrible warning

17 December 2012 Rose Herceg

Power Players are always great examples – unlike Lindsay Lohan. Because Power Players lead the way, they are often looked upon as people to look up to. And they should be.

Sometimes it can be pretty terrifying; a million sets of eyes will be on you if you decide to take the Power Playing road.

Power Players see this as a good thing because the world needs more examples: of people who do great things, of people who take risks for all the right reasons, of people who wear their power gently and bravely.

If you do intend to be all-powerful, at least you can be an example to those who want to follow in your footsteps. Remember that your power moves will live long after you are gone so here’s hoping they do some good for a long time to come.
