Where all look the same, a leader remains as an individual – Reason 64


What is a society?  Nowadays a lot of attention and discussion is given to issues of gender, race and other related topics.  Most people just try to be equal to the next one in habits, tastes and lifestyle, and appearances seem to be still the priority over essence and depth.

This creates a situation where it is quite normal for a person to try to be what he is not: to work in something with which they don’t attune, to live with another person just for the sake of it, and to leave aside life projects because of present circumstances.

A leader will be part of the society, and yet he or she will persist with their individuality.  A leader will make effort to do things in which she or he believes, with joy in the heart.  The reason: before being leaders of others, they are leaders of themselves.

(Excerpt from the book 82 Reasons to be a Leader)
