The students want leadership training so that they can participate in politics and join the future elite being cultivated by one party or another. At the same time, they fear being regarded as power-hungry future politicians. During the course of these activities you can often hear the students emphasize that they "don't aspire to be a young leader or to acquire fame and fortune."
學員們既希望透過參與領袖訓練活動而取得參政權力，成為被某些政黨特定培育的菁英，卻又擔心自己被看成愛好追逐權力的未來政客，因而活動中常見有人發言強調「自己不想成為青年領袖，只是個淡薄名利的平凡人而已」，理想與現實之間，似乎難以平衡。
