Triple world and Olympic champion Usain Bolt received a diplomatic passport from Jamaica's Prime Minister Bruce Golding on Thursday. Usain Bolt seemed very appreciative of this honor, but lets be realistic can he deliver in this role appointed to him? can he handle the role of an Ambassador for a country? Prime Minster Golding says. "We want the world never to forget for one moment that he is Jamaican to the bone and he has so strengthened our image and is such a powerful symbol of what Jamaicans can become," Now I know the world cannot and will never forget where Bolt is from, in fact I know athletes around the world are trying to prepare themselves in efforts to compete with this mega star.
But as great as that sounds, I do not think he is ready for the title of Ambassador for a country; lets look at Wyclef Jean from island of Haiti, who is an Ambassador of the country. His role is not reigned only on his musical success but more so on what his success has done for the country. He used his music career to serve his country.
An Ambassador of a country is a very high and important role; and the success and popularity of a man should not be the resume for a political positions.
