Answer 1

I think power has the wisdom to make and break a man. It can sort things out for the better and even break us into chunks that can never repair us to where we began. It takes a lot of courage to come out of the shell and raise our voice for the things that would really matter to us. It also plays a defining role in the way in which we tend to mold our society at large. If the power is used in the right manner, we can build a society with desired infrastructure so that we can manage our time in the best possible way that we know. We also need to develop endurance to the current issues so that we know the target audience and their needs are taken care of in the best possible manner.
