As the head of the government, it is my responsibility to make the overriding political goals and relationships more clear.

Don't get bogged down by life and other people's problems or hang ups.

Don't get bitter and twisted and nasty by life. You may have been wronged or cheated on; two wrongs never make a right. Instead learn your mistakes and learn your lessons. Remain strong with your head held high.
