What does Power corrupts but lack of power corrupts absolutely mean?

Power is necessary to maintain order.
But, order is achieved when power is used for the common good only.
Let us equate power with wine for a moment.
Wine is good for the human body when taken with moderation.
A person who intoxicates himself with too much wine corrupts his own body.
Corrupt behaviour or corrupt practice emanates from the person himself
not from wine or power or anything else acquired by man.
Therefore, power or lack of power does not corrupt anyone.
It is the abuse of power for self interests that results in corruption.

What are the differences between realism and neo-realism in international relations?
The main difference between the two is in their view of the causes of conflict in international relations. Classical realism puts an emphasis on the self-interested and unchanging human nature which therefore makes states self-interested and power seeking units. Neo-realism, on the other hand, argues that the conflict in international relations can be explained by the state of anarchy: lack of overarching authority in IR which pushes individual states to seek power (self-help system).
Is it is good to elect president for life?
No, electing someone to a position for life has some serious drawbacks, and unless the system they work inside of is designed to counteract these drawbacks, then it definitely can be a very bad thing. The primary problem is lack of accountability. A "president for life" has no real incentive to change their behavior, since they have no possibility of losing the position, except through violent overthrow or resignation. In such a position, the president (by human nature) will tend to accumulate wealth and power, with no (or little) regard for their constituents. Overall, even in the best system, electing someone "president for life" turns out about as well as having a monarch. Which, historically speaking, is pretty bad for everyone except the monarch.
What chalenges did the settlers face when they move?
If you are referring to the early Jamestown settlers, then they faced many challenges when they settled into North America.

These factors killed many of the early settlers until they learned how to better adapt to their new environment.
