The problem is, for many of the overpaid leaders, we know that they took the money and perks and didnโt offer protection to their people.

We only accuse them of greed and excess when we feel they have violated the very definition of what it means to be a leader.

She doesn't want me to dress better or put highlights in my hair or serious up. I'm not a lifestyle accessory to her. I'm a necessity. I'm the guy that's going to crack open her cocoon. She doesn't need to change me - she needs me to change her. At least until her little butterfly wings get strong enough to fly away.
