Once you are in power, never forget those who put you there. Deal with those who think they can do better than you and those who think you are god's representative on earth. Deal with each other according to his actions

Bangambiki Habyarimana
About This Quote

The idea that you need to deal with those who think they can do better than you and those who think you are god's representative on earth is something that is true for all power positions. When people become powerful, they tend to become arrogant. They don't like it when someone is better than them at their job or in their life, so they try to prove to the world that they are the best. However, the people you deal with aren't going to hear what you say.

Instead, they hear what they want to hear and that often isn't what it seems like. Sometimes what people hear is not at all what you want them to hear.
