All the perks, all the benefits and advantages you may get for the rank or position you hold, they aren’t meant for you. They are meant for the role you fill.

I have been inspired by Martin Luther King and how he inspired a movement. I have learned that a cause must be organic if it is to have an impact it must belong to those who join the movement and not those who lead it.
