Experience
A good politician must be experienced but it doesn’t mean that you must have crossed a particular hurdle before.
You need to learn from others that have held the same position or been in the same situation that you now find yourself.
Examples are past and present governors, presidents, and great leaders that know the pains of the masses and founding fathers.
As a politician who needs to know how her predecessors fared when they held the mantle of leadership, she also stays informed about past and present happenings to be able to flow well with the tide. Her years in the state executive council gave her that practical edge.

We all know that decisions are the hardest things to make. This comes especially when it is a choice between where you should be and where you want to be.
Every decision brings with it some good, some bad, some luck and some lessons. Anyway, the only thing that is sure is that indecision steals many years from many people who wind up wishing they would have just had the courage to leap.
