They say that leadership comes from God, this teaches that legitimate leaders have authority, in the sense of a right to direct others regardless of their weight or height.
The story of King Solomon in the Bible, book of 1st Kings is interesting, it demonstrates how seemingly a personality and character can transform someone into a responsible person.
According to 1 Kings 3:7-12, “Now, Lord my God, you have made your servant king in place of my father David. But I am only a little child and do not know how to carry out my duties. Your servant is here among the people you have chosen, a great people, too numerous to count or number. So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong. For who is able to govern these great people of yours?”
The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for this. So God said to him, “Since you have asked for this and not for long life or wealth for yourself, nor have asked for the death of your enemies but for discernment in administering justice, I will do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and discerning heart, so that there will never have been anyone like you, nor will there ever be.
This is the character of Pinky, a 9-year-old charming loving girl, with the embodiment of a distinguished leader and a selfless unselfish being flowing in her veins and blood.
Name someone who cares deeply about others’ well-being but not for their own? I will bring you Pinky
