Nearly all men can stand adversity,
but if you want to test a man's character,
give him power.
Abraham Lincoln
True character reveals itself not only in how we handle challenges, but in how we wield influence and authority. When given power, the choices we make and the way we treat others become a reflection of our deepest values. Leadership is about more than just making decisions—it's about showing integrity, humility, and empathy, especially when we have the ability to shape outcomes. Those who use power for the benefit of others, rather than for personal gain, demonstrate the strength of their character. In moments of influence, our true nature is put to the test, and it’s those who lead with kindness and responsibility who leave the most lasting impact.
