Something inspirational:

"A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the quality of his actions and the integrity of his intent."

  2. I was and never will be a leader. I do not have the abilities, nor do I wish to be one.

    I would rather drum to my own drummer and do my own thing.

    1. I totally agree with you Randy. The lovely thing about the quote is that Leadership was never intended that way, it turned out that way.

      I believe we all have our own limitations and qualities. As long as we do our best with those qualities that should be okay.

    1. I love the attitude... I'm no leader either! 🙂

      I believe it's important that we have to be happy being who we are. Aspiring to be something we're not will make us unhappy, particularly when we try to live up to other people's expectations.

  4. According to my sign (Leo the Lion) I'm supposed to be a leader, but I don't have the guts to stand up to people and lead the pack.

    Very good quote.

    1. Lisa I believe our upbringing has a lot to do with the way we turn out as adults, regardless of what our star sign tells us.

      You may very well have had leadership qualities had you had the right encouragement from your parents; but it’s not to say you cannot work on it now!
