Aung San Suu Kyi's Words of Encouragement.....
“It is not 'POWER' that corrupts, but 'FEAR'.
FEAR of losing POWER corrupts those who wield it and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it.”
“If you're feeling HELPLESS, HELP someone. ”
“I don't believe in people just 'HOPING'. We work for what we want. I always say that one has no right to hope without endeavor, so we work to try and bring about the situation that is necessary for the country, and we are confident that we will get to the negotiation table at one time or another.”
“My top priority is for people to understand that they have the Power to change things THEMSELVES.”
― Aung San Suu Kyi
