If you are a student of government or political science, it is almost impossible that you have not come across this quote by Lord Acton way back in 1887 when he said “power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely”.

It was Dale Carnegie, in his book - How to win Friends and influence People - who said that "to get a man's attention, find out what interests him and what catches his enthusiasm." Men may be indifferent but women do not oberlook it when you fail to celebrate them.
Have you ever been lethargic that you don't even feel like doing what you like doing most? Nothing can be more real, but you know what? Keep going; don't stop.
