I had myself thinking yesterday and today about this. I see especially here on Brazil the politicians are so corrupt, always aiming for themselves… And not only here, in many places in the world power has been corrupting the men. Can someone have excessive power and keep their attitudes still selfless? I would love to hear some opinions on that, thanks. |

i think, perhaps at first, for someone with strong morals, it would not be corrupting. however, after a time it gets tempting, i suppose… |

It is said that power corrupts, but more often than not, it is a corrupted individual who is attracted to power quote from Leadership vs. Power |

@xetado, Well, I think it would be cool to see the opinion of a professional. So I really recommend you this TED talk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kd_CpUl5tbQ |

Knowledge is power, power corrupts, read and be evil. Haha, just kidding of course. Depends how you use power. I would like to think if I had influence I would build people up. |

Those who have been corrupted by power have never truly possessed power in the first place. |
