People who are informed of their rights and duties are more aware and vigilant. A vigilant society is one that is more likely to prevent or speak out against things that are unjust. We have to look out for one another, our rights, our freedoms in order for democracy to work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt is an unfortunate common view that politics is unrelated to everyday life. It is related to politicians, legal and official business that the average person knows nothing about, and should not bother with. It's an unfortunate view because politics is about life. Governments make decisions that affect our everyday life. We all know this, of course. But to what extent do we actually practice it? For a nation to move forward, its people must take their future into their own hands. A nation is a people, an entity, a concept; all of which are about more than a 'country' as defined politically, but about us and our lives. To be a patriot is to love yourself and where you came from. And to be politically conscious is to care about your life. When we see politics as something distant, we forget how personal it really is.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThrough this book, we will explore the greatest life lessons and secrets to success from most inspirational political leaders of all Time. Reading a quote or two everyday will motivate you achieve your goals. However, motivation is worthless without consistency. Therefore, put consistent action to achieve success.

The monologue of a nineteenth-century washerwoman rescued from deadly peril strikes us as immediately and psychologically realistic as that of a twenty-first-century minor bureaucrat driven to madness by his uprooted anonymity. With psychological perceptiveness and uncompromising honesty, Smith carries heavy themes of faith and fear, conversion and doubt, freedom and death with such grace that the changes that come may at first appear, to the undiscerning eye, light. Like a skilled surgeon with a sharp scalpel, he works relentlessly to get to the marrow: no one is given an easy pass, nor dismissed as a lost cause. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEschewing the strident iconoclasm that has become so commonplace in almost every quarter, Smith gives us a catalogue of human folly. Refraining from the hagiography of the outsider as hero, refusing to slash the ordinary and normal, he demonstrates a generous affection for the people in his pages. In stories bereft of both sentimentality and misguided mercy, Smith shows how-over the course of years or in less than half a heartbeat-even the most wretched can turn from idols toward icons. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stories in \u003cem\u003eSpare Us Yet\u003c\/em\u003e combine honest spiritual reflection with penetrating psychological insight.
