This is a beautiful sentiment and I fully appreciate the heart of what you're saying.

But do take into account that which people have said in this thread, without allowing yourself to get offended (everyone here believes in your cause of creating a peaceful world, I can almost guarantee that, I think) - but you do need to sort out your internal conflicts before you will reach that point.

In fact, if you look at all the world "leaders" that have come about, those who have been most successful in changing things are ones who had amazing interpersonal skills and could inspire others with their SELF-BELIEF and EXAMPLE.

MLK, Ghandi, Mother Theresa - self belief and example, all the way.

At the moment there are thousands of things that I want to be doing with my life, but I have a rough course in my mind with important way-points along the way.

Do you know how you plan to become this world leader? To garner people's trust, have that charisma, and do you have enough knowledge to back up your actions (and indeed enough conviction to MAKE those actions?) Do you think you have it in you at this stage to open other people's eyes?

How aware are you of the cultural differences of the world? How will you rule over people who come from a societal structure and culture that is so completely alien to you, and how will they (coming from almost a "different world") relate to you and trust that you will guide them?

If you really want to lead, lead by example.
