I thank you for the vote of confidence, friend, but I do not think I would make a very good king. Kings cannot afford to be as trusting or optimistic..

[One might even say naive...]

...as I am. Their decisions affect far too many people for that. No, I think I work much better when I am the one giving advice and support to leaders instead of being one. That way if I am being too trusting or optimistic, someone can be there to bring me back to earth and balance out my plans or decisions.
