Would you be able to accept the responsibility of a top nation? Could you accept the world responsibilities with treaties, meetings, and all the other political stuff that comes with being president? Personally I think I would do my very best to help the world but at the same time I know it would be a very hectic job especially under the current circumstances.

Hello phairenglish! Being a president like in America? Oh no! I don't even think I can handle being a president in the classroom
. It's a tough job and there's so many things that we need to do. I don't think I have the guts to do it.

LOL.. yes it would take a lot of guts. I have the utmost respect for all our presidents.. even the ones I don't like (Bush). The job of being president is indeed very tough and would take much courage... I don't believe that I have all the courage it takes but I would try my very best to help the world.
Happy mylotting and thank you for responding to my discussion.

yes, you're right..there are many ways in helping others...if we really want to help,we will help anonymously and serve the country without everybody knowing it..

Most certainly. If someone cannot handle the full pressures of the job of being president then there is no problem with anonymously helping. In fact I would encourage anyone to help their nation and even the world if they can... once I finish studying I plan to travel the world and help as many people as possible. I may not ever become president but I know I will leave my mark in some way on the world.

No. Its a tough job, I don't even think I would be able to handle the responsibility of an actor, lol. The thing about being the head of the nation is that you have all the blame, lol. I don't think I am either ready for the public view on me. LOL.

lol yes we must all take that into consideration. The blame of an entire nation and even the world makes the job very tough to consider. Very stressful that's why I have respect for politicians in general.

LOL. I'm not married but I would hope the woman that I do marry has a peaceful mind like me. LOL Yes the stress would make me old quick but I know that just for those 4-8 years of stress afterward I will be able to get the stress relieved with my life outside of office. I would still help as much as possible though.

No way. There's too much responsibility and long hours, and you absolutely know that when you make the inevitable mistakes, people are going to die. Actually, I don't think anyone's really suited for that job. Have you ever noticed that national leaders seem to age a lot faster than usual while they're in office? That'll be the strain of the job.

Yes it does seem like world leaders tend to age faster.. .the strain is very obvious. I look at it like this, we all make mistakes but it is what you do to correct or amend that mistake that makes the difference. See with the job of president you are bound to make a mistake but it is what you do in the hard times is what makes you either ok or great.

No way. When I was a kid my Mom used to tell me that if Dad & I ruled the world it would be a perfect world. She was being sarcastic but usually laughed when she said it. The reason she said it though was because Dad and I seemed to have opinions on everything. But there is no way I'd want to be president. I think one day of it would be exhausting.

Yes it would be exhausting even one day but the rewards for putting your blood sweat and tears into changing the world would be immense.

Frankly speaking i can not be so sincere and can not be so responsibility as a president because they have lot of pressure and they have to work by viewing everything and they can not think from their heart they have to think from their mind and thsy have to work as per that so it is not so easy to act as president for me
