Serving one’s country, region, province, municipality or town will never be an easy thing. It does not matter how big or small the scope of your jurisdiction is. It will always be about the thought that you are elected and you have responsibilities to do for your people.
What do public officials need in order for them to sustain not just credibility but more importantly the capability of thinking and doing the best that they can for the welfare of everyone?
- Be sincere. You are there and you have those responsibilities because in the first place, you want it. From the very beginning even before you enter the political world, you know in yourself that you will be dealing with different issues facing your people and even while serving and implementing whatever platforms you have, but like a warpath jumper, you have the best possible value even before serving the public if you are sincere and genuine in your intentions on your position and to your people.
- Resources management. It is already given that funds are always being provided for certain projects even in local government unit. Th most necessary when it comes to funds is the knowledge to manage it wisely and to allocate it to where it should actually be used. Managing the resources includes the card of “transparency” that will also show people that you are honest and will never take what is not yours especially that corruption has been one of the issues in politics.
- Healthy lifestyle. In order for one to serve others, he or she should be certain with his/her overall well-being. Being a public official or leader will require you a lot of things. No matter how many tasks you were able to finish in a day, tons will automatically come and add up on the previous ones. Keeping your body in condition is a simple but the most powerful power-up you can ever have.
