A nice, polite and quiet person almost to the point of being an innocent introvert , a man he was .
Of course learned he was ,expertise of his field he had , but he was never made out for being the leader of the masses. He had severely lacked the impossible to ignore charismatic personality, a cutthroat, ruthless and demanding attitude, and the shrewdness necessary for being a politically successful man. And of course he never had the spine and the firebrand qualities to rise above the dominance . 

If you cannot cut, you can never grow.
