But enormous pressure on me to run for President. In 3 hours will have another meeting with my boss, former Prime Minister. 12:27:02 pm Miro Lajcak My dilemma is how to say no without looking like an egoist 12:29:10 pm 1212 5333739 I assumed so. 12:27:45 pm EFTA01619703 1212 5333739 Its like me trying not to look jewish 12:29:51 pm 12:29:54 pm Miro Lajcak Do you succeed? 12:31:00 pm 1212 5333739 no 12:31:06 pm Miro Lajcak So? What's the right answer? 12:31:45 pm 1212 5333739 No such thing 12:31:55 pm Miro Lajcak Are you suggesting they will hate me anyway? 12:32:49 pm 1212 5333739 Balance - you only live one life. Would it be fun to be president. ? . yes they will hate you anyway. But the question is who are the "they". Public. Other leaders. ? or your family? 12:34:09 pm EFTA01619704 You have spent your life in the service. Not sure how you resist the top spot. If you had played soccer , it would be an easier answer. 12:39:06 pm Miro Lajcak I'm not really interested to be a President of Slovakia. I'd rather see myself in an international sphere. The party will hate me if I say no. And there is nothing for me to do in Slovakia in the future. My family is strongly against me running. They don't us want to go through a dirty campaign. 12:44:03 pm 1212 5333739 I think it always come to the choice of riding a carousel or a roller coaster. . very personal 12:50:46 pm I think all the choices at the end are the same. ! [hats the key 12:53:24 pm Neither one is all good 12:53:37 pm Miro Lajcak True. Anyway, I don't expect a final decision today. It's more about the atmosphere. Will tell you after. 12:54:32 pm 1212 5333739 Its like the choice between bigamy and monogamy, bigamy is one wife too many - monogamy is the same thing 12:55:03 pm Sent EFTA01619705 Miro Lajcak 12:55:27 pm Read EFTA01619706
