— Ralph Nader

Simplified Meaning:
In life, especially in leadership, people often look up to those who seem steady and reliable. Leaders need to look like they always know what they’re doing, even if they sometimes change their mind or adapt to new situations. Think of a teacher who stays calm and acts confident even when a lesson doesn’t go as planned; the students trust them more. Similarly, a leader might change their plan to handle unexpected problems but should still present themselves as having everything under control. This helps maintain trust and stability among their followers. So, while a leader may need to be flexible and make different decisions as they go, they should always give the impression of being consistent to keep others confident in their leadership.
