leadership

it's thursday.
i attended a conference in AKSIS this morning
about leadership. we had good speakers.
kuya Rob posed a question,
"what is your because?"
that made me think.
what is my because?
what made me a leader?

sir Martin said,
"anyone can be a leader
and it is but normal that they are born
for we are all human beings."
so i was a leader?

but was i?
i can be.
but, did i choose to be?
did i want to tap any potential?
i don't know.

i'm attending a leadership congress in India
this sembreak. and yet, i'm not sure if i am one.
that's weird. maybe it's because i have clubs,
and i became an officer twice.
maybe because i seem, to be law-abiding.
is it because of my zodiac sign? lousy. haha

a leader should have a vision.
you know there's something wrong.
you work towards attacking it.
you should formulate ways of doing so.
in short, speak up and don't just sit
there watching the things around you corrupt.

a leader should be socially aware.
i don't have a TV.
i don't read the news.
i guess i should start doing so. haha

a leader should be service-oriented.
it's not about you.
very noble. very self-sacrificing.
was i willing to do that?

at the end of the day,
i ponder if i am a leader.
maybe, a good follower.
that's a leader.
i don't know.
i surely lead my life.
i have an idea where i'm leading it.
but hey, things change so fast.

oh well.
that's something to bug my head
once in a while.
