And if you prove worthy of such an honor, 3 day handshake, it will likely be yours. Yet your comment exemplifies a horrible weakness in our ranks that is a product of the same "every child is special" inculcation that has been going on in the west for decades. Everyone wants to lead, when most display no leadership qualities. Everyone wants to be revered for their deeds, while having few (or no) deeds worthy of merit.
Tell me, how many times did Adolf Hitler write or speak about the monuments he wanted built in his honor, or the riches he hoped to attain? How many great man that transformed and shaped the world did this? For the former I know it is zero, for the latter I am sure there are a few examples some pilpul artist would mention like it invalidates the overwhelming majority... but all exceptions do is prove the rule.
I've seen constant infighting over the years of different characters, personalities, and of course subversive elements that think their vision is the best. Even when they don't have a well articulated or thought out vision, beyond the kind of "main character" bullshit that is far too common today.
How about seeking to be of service; for whatever talents you may possess, to be of value to who and what you care (or claim to care) about?
Those that should truly lead see it as a burden they will accept for the greater good, not a treasure chest to plunder.

Fair enough, I wish you good fortune in your endeavour as it's consistent with what all of us here in good faith are trying to do for our various nations, and our people as a whole. And I didn't and would not ask you to prove yourself to me, I believe we should only be trying to prove ourselves to ourselves, our folk, and to God Almighty. But this more detailed post certainly changed the context of the initial remark for me.
