The life of a powerful person

Tweet

I do not know about you but I am an avid newspaper article reader,and I love to read about other peoples lives,the way in which they live them.I have read a lot lately about our so called dour Prime minister Gordon Brown.an article I read a day or so ago in one of the daily newspapers was a fascinating insight into how stressful and busy their lives are.On one hand you certainly can say that they are being paid vast sums of money for carrying out powerful positions,but on the other hand I would think it has to be a vocation too,if the passion and drive is not there then it would all be pointless.The article focussed on Gordon Browns home and family life,if you could call it that!He came in from `work` about ten o clock at night and his wife served up lamb chops for supper,his young son was still awake,and horror of horrors lol the wheel had fallen off of his toy truck,so he naturally wanted Daddy to fix it!which Daddy did..he then went on to start being interviewed..the interviewer described him as `being human`.which I found quite weird!He was described as having `odd` mannerisms and an unattractive nail biting habit,which rendered his finger nails to less than stumps..but it almost seemed as though we were measuring the man by his appearance,rather than his capabilities.There are many who would say that his capabilities are diminishing,his hold on his government and reality is waning.But I feel we really need to give him a chance.OK you could argue the toss and say h has had his chances..but the alternative is a youthful charismatic creature,with a lot less life experience,a man who seems to think that he will be able to solve all within a short while.Tony Blair was exactly that,a charismatic man,who was able to talk his way out of and around most issues,some of his policies good and others bad.But to gain an insight into what makes these people tick is very very interesting.
