A reader sends Paulo Coelho a questionnaire in which he presents the profile of three world leaders who lived in the same period of history, and asks if it is possible to choose the best one using the following data:
Candidate A was associated with witchdoctors and often consulted astrologists. He had two mistresses. His wife was a Lesbian. He smoked a lot. He drank eight to ten martinis a day.
Candidate B never managed to hold down a job because of his arrogance. He slept the whole morning. He used opium at school, and was always considered a bad student. He drank a glass of brandy every morning.
Candidate C was decorated a hero. A vegetarian, he did not smoke. His discipline was exemplary. He occasionally drank a beer. He stayed with the same woman during his moments of glory and defeat.
And Who were those Leaders ?
A] Franklin Delano Roosevelt. B] Winston Churchill. C] Adolf Hitler.
Now How can we say who was good who was bad ,why was he bad or why is he good.I still feel If Hitler used his authority over Germany not to go to war but to development ,undoubtedly hw would have been the most worshipped leader ever,but his destiny was different.
Who is your favorite Leader or dream leader why ? For me its Hitler (only till how he managed to gain authority over all of Germany)Not only form these 3 it can be any one . If there is a one list of Ideal Leader qualities list ,may be our Leaders will try to be that Perfect Leader.
