There's a famous quote attributed to Lincoln.

It talks about how any decent person can handle adversity, but their character really comes to be tested when they are in a position of power.

I just did a Facebook Live in Spanish talking about how we, Panamanians, like to complain about our government's corruption while we break rules/laws at the same time.

For me, the character tests started happening when I was given a position of leadership. It was a regular adventure of asking myself if I would do the right thing even if it cost me my job.

What would you do? Have you ever imagined yourself in a position of power and wonder which decisions you would make?

It's easy to criticize from the outside...as we do with celebrities when they break our expectations of them...or when famous people are found cheating on their taxes or spouses.

But, if you where in their shoes, understanding their full context, would you make the 'right' choice?

Would you?
