Once upon a time, there was He and He .. both being the top-dog in his own country... now in their old age, let's see how things have changed..
He is widely respected internationally... while He is openly despised even in his own country..
He is invited by governments/institutions all over the world to share his management mantra... while He didn't even get to attend his own party's meetings...
He sprouts wisdom and provides foresight... while He spits venom and takes potshots...
He picked his successor carefully and groomed him well... while He kept changing his mind and doomed all of his successors...
One of his sons has succeeded him and proved himself to be his own man... while both his sons are trying to move up capitalizing on his reputation...
He took his country from third to first world... while He kept his struggling in the 3rd...
His country was one of the smallest (in size) but its citizens are welcomed anywhere in the world... while His country wasn't the biggest (in size) but its leaders behaved as if it is...
He chose to compete against the best and had emerged as their equals... while He continue to rub shoulder with some of the worst and felt proud...
He chose to make friends with the world and kept his enemies at home... while He chose to make enemies with the world and kept his friends at home...
His people wished that he would maintain his sanity and keep giving speeches... while His people wished that he would go senile soon and kept his silence...
And so goes the legacy of this old man and this old man...
