Summary

This quote suggests that individuals who genuinely enjoy and embrace the challenges and obligations that come with responsibility are more likely to be entrusted with it. They are likely to thrive in positions of authority because they have a sincere desire to make a positive impact and contribute to the success of their roles. On the other hand, those who seek authority for the sake of dominance or control often fail to maintain it due to their lack of genuine commitment, dedication, and understanding of the responsibilities it entails.
