Think About It...

Mon, 12 Jul 2010 17:54:04 +0100

A little boy cried today. He was fatherless, with a mother who worked endless hours just to make ends meet while raising three kids fahtered by three different men. No guidance, he was alone to raise himself and worry about life, things he should not think about at such a young age. As his mother walks into the dark livingroom where her son sits sobbing, his mother softly spoke to him.
"Baby, why all the tears?"
The little boy looked up to her mother with tears in his eyes. His heart was broken. At such a young age he had already given up on life. As he looked at his mother carry on in these pointless relationships and struggle to provide such little for him and his siblings, he said, "...for I have failed."
The mother looked at her young child, knowing not what to say, she replied how was this so. With so much pain in his voice and snot running down his face, the little boy explained, "I have failed because you, as a parent, have failed..."
The mother walked away from her child without a word. She knew that what he said was true. With no education, the active fathers and no real chance, she had failed him just like her parents have failed her. To weak minded to make a change and with to much pride to hold her hurting child, she simply walked away and excaped to the one place she has grown to depend on... nothing at all. (History has repeated itself)

Make sense?

What It Means To Be A Leader

Mon, 05 Jul 2010 04:12:21 +0100

A leader’s first job is to define reality. What’s the goal? What needs to be done? A leader takes fantasies, dreams, wants and needs, and infuses those under her with the vision and motivation to make them a reality. It has been said that no wind favors him who has no destined port. In contrast, a leader is one who knows where she wants to go, gets up, and goes. The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have never been; to blaze a new trail to the end of the journey.

It takes courage to be a leader because he is the one who takes risks, who points the way through a sometimes murky and uncertain path towards the triumph of achieving the goal. Courage is built not by shrinking from the fear of failure, but by meeting such anxiety head on, and gaining strength, courage and confidence each time there is success. On the other hand, failure is not the end of the road. For a leader, it is not a failure to fall down; only to stay down. Therefore no matter how hard the loss, defeat shapes the leader as well as victory. A leader can’t be afraid to take a big step when needed. One can’t jump over a canyon using small steps.

A good leader inspires others with confidence in him; a great leader inspires them with confidence in themselves. When such a leader isn’t afraid to tackle a difficult problem, those following will be inspired to tackle hard problems themselves. Leaders take action while others hesitate; but the ones who hesitate may well realize what is possible when they see the leader in action.

So my question to you is, what is a leader? Define what type(s) of leader(s) are needed to help change a person, a neighborhood... a community.
