If it were only you, I would not bet against you. [and that much is true, but...]

But you are a leader. You have cultivated a following. They rely on you, and it is your job not to lead them astray.

You want to be the best you can be, do you not? I do not believe for a moment that your best you involves throwing the lives of those dear to you in danger.
