  Iam not interested in power oriented forces iam interested In the power that support moral the right and the good the diferrence Is clearly visible. The first statement assumes the influences is rewards rewards for the cynics who are cunny and disdainful the second statement assumes influeces as reward for people who are trustworthy and bring goodness “ we communicate to destroy others oi build others” “technology can destroy someone’s reputation faster and easier competed to before” “ digital communication allow us to reach more people faster and at less cost.” That so many people are just good at talking rather than being real leaders.

Letter by President Lincoln to General Meade

                The Battle of Gettysburg took place over the first three days of July 1863. On the evening of July 4, General Robert Lee, began his retreat southward as a storm clouds poured down heavy rain across the country. As Lee Reached the potomax with defeated army, he found himself a rising, impassable river, and behind him was the union army, which was winning war.
