If you want to open your door for public service particularly in politics, consider first your capacities.
First of those capacities is money. Are you financially able to sustain your candidacy?
Money matters if we enter in the political world considering this is now the so-called “tradition” imbedded in the mindset of high numbers of people who will cast their votes during election times.
Winning political post is really not a cake walk. Therefore, think twice before playing your cards.
While considering the money issue, think of the bigger possibilities what politics will bring into your life: the two faces of politics — the good and bad side.
Frankly, you will gamble what you are holding dear in your life, especially your time with your family and loved ones.
Another thing to be considered also is the pressure politics will do to you, which maybe, will affect the honor of your family, may it be in a positive or negative way.
And of course, do you have what it takes to be a leader? Is your interest truly for the people? Or for your own sake?
Entering into government office particularly undergoing the political process through elections, is undeniably a tough battle… nowadays.
And you should consider these questions: are you ready to enter politics? Or do you still have the support of the people if you’re already a politician? Do you think you will win? Do you think you will win again? (Wilson Auguis Subrio)
