What is your greatest source of power?

The greatest power is virtue or honor or integrity. It is the result of choice and is only influenced by one's own choices.  I have exclusive influence over my honor.  External events provide only a space for character to evidence its own merit.

What is the opposite of poverty?

It would be easy to say that the opposite of poverty is wealth, yet the wealthiest and most opulent cites are full of the poor.  Bryan Stevenson  says, "I believe the opposite of poverty is not wealth, but is justice."  It is a lot to think about.  There seems to be the most injustice and intolerance among the poorest of society.
