Why can't you be a politician?

It’s difficult to understand how something that is really the primary force of any country can be ignored as an education. It is always assumed that politics must be a quality that is in-built in you. I agree to disagree with this interpretation. You can imbibe politics and the right training can make you a sound politician. But it’s important to remember that training alone is not going to make you great politician. You must have an art of developing sound relationships. Captivating your audience is the biggest asset of a politician. The first impression is always the deeds of the politician and for that he also needs to have substantial vocal powers. If he has a unique ability to drive people then he has the right ingredients to make it big. But hold on!! It can’t be just a one-time affair. A politician has to do it on and on and on and make sure that the bond never breaks.

In today’s world, is it possible for a politician to establish that type of rapport without money? Highly improbable!! A politician without money is like a soccer player without a ball and soccer ground. Today, money is something that really drives politics as it drives other streams. But in case of politics you really need money beforehand to influence and dictate terms. You might not be the best orator, you might not be the best crowd puller but if you have money then you can definitely be a politician. Money is something that politicians use as a sword to pull people by their side.

The reason why common man turns his back on politics is precisely due to these qualities. Success is not guaranteed. Money is primary and common man just can’t afford to enter into something that has so many struggles.

So if you want to enter politics just have some courage and a lot of patience. My feeling is that money is not everything and there are still some good people around.
