Sunday Rest: advice. Word Not To Use Today.

If you are the leader of a great people, and have dedicated a lot of time and effort to making sure you remain the leader of your great people, then you are bound to possess a lot of self-belief. 

Your officials exist to realise your great and wise ambitions, and, if the wretched underlings can't, then they must be replaced with those who can.

This, unfortunately, isn't the best set-up for being given reliable information and advice.

But then what great leader needs advice?

Sunday Rest: advice. This word came into the English language in the 1300s from French, from the Latin phrase ad vīsum, which means literally to view, or according to my opinion.
