They do not have time to look after their health. They have the opition to do right and wrong.
The position of people in great places is delicate. They should hurt others through theri action. They should know how to avoid the bad things. Self-analysis is better tool for them. They should be a role model for others. They should learn lessons from the past and present and plan the future. They are respect law and preserve the rights of other their honour should not be misused.
The men in great places authorities of people in delay, corruption, roughness and facility. To overcome delay, they have to be punctual. They have to make their action easy. Things have to be done immediately. To escape from corruption they have to be sincere. No effects are to be accepted. They should not show favour to any one.
To do away with roughness, one has to be kind fear should be presented others. Regarding facility, people have considers to be more careful. It is worse than bribery. Francis Bacon quotes, man should not go after break.
Authority makes a man great, but he should learn respect to others. Usually a man sits is great place becomes another man. Francis Bacon ask people in great places to become another man.
