My Opinion

If you don't like computers, don't become a Computer Engineer or IT person
If you don't like science, don't become a doctor
If you don't like math, stay away from engineering and accounting
If you don't like dealing with people, don't become a CSR
If you don't like helping others, don't become a pastor.
It you don't like doing a lot of work, don't become a leader.

Seems like a pretty simple concept to me. Yeah? Apparently not! If you've chosen a certain path for yourself, then stick to it; give it your 100%. No one forced you into the position that you're in (if indeed you chose it), if you don't like it, then quit! Everything in this world requires team effort, excuse the cliche, but "no man is an island". You have a certain task to perform, but if you don't like it then let someone else take your place, because you're pulling down the rest of the team. The worst is when the leaders of a team are the lazy ones, the ones sitting back expecting everyone to come to them; thinking that they've done enough; it's not their responsiblity to recruit people. That's just plain selfish.

I think politicians and pastors have a lot in common: Public Image
If you can't handle it, and if you're not willing to step up, then step-down because you're making the rest of us look bad.

Politicians represent certain parties
Pastors represent certain religious denominations

Politicians are expected to act a certain way to represent their party favourably
Pastors are also expected to act a certain way to represent their congregation favourably

What happens when a politician fails to pay attention to the citizen's needs?
They lose votes
What happens when a pastor fails to pay attention to the church members' needs?
They lose followers

What do we do with a politician we are unhappy with?
Vote them out of office
