"I love power. But it is as an artist that I love it. I love is as a musician loves his violin (in my case - My Guitar), to draw out its sound and chords and harmonies." - Napoleon Bonaparte

This quote really did got my attention and I found it rather interesting that it kept me wondering what is Power ? and How can one become Powerful ?
.
Power has been called many things. The ultimate aphrodisiac. An absolute corrupter. A mistress. A musical instrument. But its true nature remains elusive. After all, a head of state wields a very different sort of power than a religious figure. Can one really compare the influence of a journalist with that of a terrorist? And is power unexercised power at all?Barack Obama is known as "The Most Powerful People"
How powerful is he? Let's count the ways:.
Presides over world's largest, most innovative, most dynamic economy;
.
Commander-in-chief of planet's richest, deadliest military;
.
Finger on button of nuclear arsenal containing more than 5,000 warheads;
.
Head-of-state of world's sole superpower;
.
His Democrats have majorities in both U.S. House and Senate;
.
Recently awarded Nobel Peace Prize, apparently for general awesomeness.
It makes me wonder what does it takes to be him ? and it makes me wonder how does it felt like to be such a powerful person ? Lastly, it makes me wonder how to become Powerful.

I don't think Obama deserves the Nobel Peace prize. After receiving that award, he then adds another 30 000 more US troops in Afghanistan. WTF?
What has he done for peace anyway? Don't get me wrong, I think he's pretty awesome, being a liberal Democrat and all that. But, what has he done besides promising to lower the amount of US troops in Iraq & Afghanistan? And gay rights? And the US healthcare system?
There, my two cents worth.
