What does it mean to be a Statesman?

STATESMAN, n. [state and man.]

1. A man versed in the arts of government; usually, one eminent for political abilities; a politician.

2. A small landholder.

3. One employed in public affairs.

This is only the most basic of definitions. Being a Statesman means being able to make a change in the world. The most basic definition can be summed up with the following:

Seeing a problem and seeing a solution and putting oneself in the middle to bring the solution to pass.

Our world is obviously filled with problems that need powerful leaders to bring any changes. We have the responsibility to make our lives, families, country and ultimately the world a better place. I believe we all have life missions to fulfill and with God's help we can, as Ghandi said, "be the change we wish to see in the world."

Ideas and concepts are only the beginning. The purpose of this blog is to explore ideas and solutions that can make a difference and most importantly, allow us to implement these ideas in the world we live.
