People that I meet everyday in class/work/gym, are in general are very nice. They are all motivated and have goals for themselves. The magic to being a leader that people look up to, is being respectful and encouraging towards them.

Humans in general have a lot of insecurities, and it is these that prevent the majority of us from taking on a leadership role. If one knows oneself good enough to define these insecurities and tackle them – the person makes a good leader. Or to say in in a different way, a good leader is someone who has taken steps to overcome her insecurities.

Insecurities may include the little voice inside you that says:

“What if no one listens to me….”,
or
“What if I make the wrong decisions…”.

I personally feel that you have to jump in head first – make mistakes and stumble – but get back up, correct yourself and jump back in the game. Kind of like learning to ride a bicycle. Literature does help a lot – but learning from ones own mistakes is priceless.

I just had an accomplishment (that I was a little stressed about) today and felt like writing this. I have been blessed to have good and encouraging peers and supervisors whose wisdom I have somewhat tried to absorb. Lifes too short, got to make the best of it!
