Many people would like to give to campaigns as much as possible, but there is always a reason why they would want to part with big money and it is not always in the interest of the elected party.

I have studied literature in leadership and spirituality and have found a common thread. The common thread is this: if you want to be successful and fulfilled you need to keep your ego in check. Data and experience suggest that the playing field may be more level than we thought, that anyone can build success if they can step outside of their ego and do something well. Charisma and attractiveness are as much liabilities as they are assets.
