Diplomats are usually very highly esteemed.That is why they usually retain the title ambassador even after retirement. If you represent your country in a country where they have very high interests like business or political unions then your stakes are very high.

But i tend to think that it is a very funny lifestyle too.You definately have to face the challenge of adapting to the peoples culture.Learning how to live away from but with one mandate to represent home.You live with home ideals abroad.Have your country's flag and laws governing you but live away.It is hard to own property in these country's since since you can be moved any time.You can be recalled home.Like the Danish ambassador in the Iran just did after a cartoon tragedy.I think it always a cost to count especially if you have kids and a lot of stuff to take care of .You just sacrifice for the sake of your noble country.I guess thats why they are respected.Kudos to ambassadors.

I had an interesting experience one in high school where my ambassadorship was put to test.

..my experience with this in a hockey tournament.

I was in playing as forward player number nine and we were headed for finals in this tournament. I got a chance to have a fast break and i had the ball alone with the keeper. I cannot forget how sweet it was to hear the shouts of my name from outside the pitch. The deep males voices and more so the sharper female voices. It was my moment of glory and i wanted it so bad. It was a chance for me to feed my ego, a chance to prove myself before the coach,peers and impress all those who were watching from outside. What a chance i had,my adrenaline was at an all time high. All i saw was myself and the goal keeper who was at my mercies and my hockey stick. Suddenly a guy from nowhere appeared and i had to deal with him. He was small bodied for comparison purposes .I figured out a way of handling him. Unfortunately or fortunately small charge send him to the ground. I put the ball inside the cage and no sooner had i done that than i heard the referees whistle shouting and calling a fault. I had never been so angry. I threw my stick up and was headed to face the referee. I was so disappointed and my head was exploding,i was ripe for action and face consequences later. Suddenly i heard the gentle voice inside me say remember boy who you are and the world is watching you!

2cor 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for christ as though God did beseech you by us!

What a job we've got.
