About This Quote

When we meet someone and they tell us that they need power, we think to ourselves: “Wow, what a great ability to have.” The fact is, we don’t recognize power as a gem because it is something that we don’t need. We merely recognize those who possess it as having a valuable skill. The truth is that everyone needs power. It is the gem of necessity. Without observing power, identity remains undiscovered.
