Rushing into power in what grand?, is it the power of leadership?, actually when someone is very influential he already has power because his decision are very important to a lot of people, so actually power those not always come from attaining a position in the government because so long as you are wealthy or have what people are consuming is indirectly a power. Meanwhile no matter how powerful anybody is you can never be powerful than the law that binds you and besides you can have today and another person take away the relevance you have in the future.
