Who is the most unsuccessful leader in the world

This evening, we were meeting at the lake.

“Did you hear our masters chatting?” Duck said.

“Yes, I did,” cow said.

“What did all your masters talk about?” I asked.

“They discussed who is the most unsuccessful leader in the world,” twin piggies said.

“Oh.” I wagged my head.

“And you? Who do you think is the most unsuccessful leader in the world?” Duck said.

“Well, I heard from my ex master. He said the most unsuccessful leader in the world is the Buddha,” I said.

All of them unlocked their eyes, “Why?”

“According to his history, he was a prince and he would be the emperor; but he gave up his throne, he gave up his comfortable life, he gave up his wife and his son, he gave up everything even his fine clothes and went to the forest to seek for way to get off the suffer. He did not only for himself or his family but also for the entire world. However, the human does not follow his instruction but turns to use his finding to gain benefit for themselves more and more.”

“But I think he has a lot of disciples and followers,” cow said.

“Correct,” twin piggies said.

“Well,” I grinned and said, “as an instance, the Buddha said ordinary people should not drink alcohol, but no one stops and turns to drink more and more. They drink and drink till the alcohol producers become millionaires. Talking about his disciples. When the Buddha was living, he didn’t ask for his room to be built with expensive or valuable materials or big. As well, wherever he went, he went on foot. During that time, it already had transportation, cow, horse, horse cart etc. However, he didn’t use any of it even though he went to far away places. But look at his disciples nowaday, they need a big room, their rooms are of special decoration and equipped with modern materials; as well they have luxurious cars. In addition, they run following a high position, they live their lives the same as ordinary people - seeking for money, title or position, and fame.” I took a long sigh. “From my point of view, he is not only an unsuccessful but also pitiful leader in the world.”

All of them carried a sad face after hearing my statement.
