Proximity Doesn't Always Pay in politics
My one Penny Advice to young politicians and political activists π
Proximity Doesn't Always Pay in politics. My advice to young people in politics is that they should know precisely what their likely benefits are if they help their BOSSES to be successful in political office. It's hard but bargain for yourself. Don't settle for rice and sugar. That way, you know your self sacrifice is worthy. It's hard to say this but it must be said that politics is selfish enterprise. Remember, the master is not in politics for you. He is in politics for himself. Must I advise you to be in politics for yourself?
Also have this in your head. Winning seats for your mps can never ever be compared to winning presidential elections. In simple terms, what I am saying is that approach politics with a business mindset. Consider yourself as an investor. If the investment is good, continue investing. If it's bad, quit. Look around for better alternatives and invest there. Loyalty is good as long as it's beneficial. If your loyalty causes you stress or depression, it's no longer loyalty; it's slavery. Break from the mental slavery.
Always use your sixth sense. Pay attention to the Boss. If he is the type who has your interest at heart, you will know unless you are dumb. Politics is not religion. It is only in religion that you can choose to give charity without expecting any returns. By all means help and serve others ie the essence of politics but know what is in it for you. Stop being an idiot. π I hope this is helpful.
