Since, the beginning of my high school days, I wanted to be a prefect in my House; due to the academic pressure from the Parents, I was asked not to enrol for the elections for the Vice President of the House; which eventually could have allowed me to be the Captain of the House.
The point of me saying this little story here is that; sometimes; our own people in the disguise of having us to become something else, in their fear do not allow us to take the plunge in life.
But, almost 3 years later, when I was in 12th grade; I had put my foo down and when my President at Rotaract Club of H.R. College asked me to take a department all by myself; I made this call from the USA to mum while being on my student exchange trip : I want to be on the Board of Directors and do not refuse my president when he comes to see you.
She couldn't refuse since then from allowing me to become a leader at places where I deserved.
Most times, people around the leaders; must have confidence in them. That confidence can only be earned by the leader; but even after earning that; it is those who are lead; must be able to comprehend their own powers and be able to confide in that leader. Belief and respect are the aspects on which anyone under you; can not only reach heights in their own tasks but make you row along.
A leader; should not only have extra energy, but energies in his reserves. This is used most times, by the leader himself. When he is drained and exhausted, the reserves make him cross that little distance remaining. It is a secret reserve; you should not share or show it to anyone. Noone!
It is not only the charisma of a person; but also the ability of clear speech, diction, be able to dissect the issue at hand and present it to his group for better development.
One of my close pals once told me: Either you lead or be led. You cannot do both.
This make me believe after long experiences; that it is how you are not influenced when you are led. It is how you have given your best, not left any stone unearned to become productive. Not measured any task by the money value, been committed to the assignment as if its own and standing by the belief of the leader who has guts to allot it to you.
We all are leaders, but few are not due to positions, knowledge, experience; but what all of us have is Courage. Courage to stand for what is right; courage to execute what is said, courage to refuse for what is not ethical.
We have the power to choose the right company, we have the power to use our brains which has the left and right parts to allow it to manifest its endurance.
We fail to understand, what we are here for? We never asked! We do not wish to know. It would scare you off as you may realize, you actually have nothing to live for. Hence you must have a leader, a guide, a mentor and if you are luck
a GURU!!!
Guru in Indian contexts mean only a spiritual master, no - here I mean someone who can solve your inner mysteries, who can throw light on the dark path, who can show you which path out of the options is the one you may take. He shows you what is right or wrong. Dissolves and deletes the illusions. The fake definitions, the false stories your mind has made, keeps no notions.
This may sound like some weird judgement, but only that person whose value system revolves around " Responsibility" can become a leader of lifetime. Rest are just for the time being.
