Fredrik BackmanThe worst thing about having power over other people's lives is that you sometimes get things wrong.
About This Quote
When a person has a great amount of influence over others, it is extremely difficult to not make mistakes. In the case of being in charge, you have authority over other people and their lives. What can be more difficult? The worst part of this is the fact that you are in control over something that is important to other people. You may not always get things right, but it's still your job to do so.
