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 equality of his actions and the integrity of his intent.

People try so hard…….
….. to believe in leaders now, pitifully hard. But we no sooner get a popular reformer or politician or soldier or writer or philosopher — a Roosevelt, a Tolstoy, a Wood, a Shaw, a Nietzsche, than the cross-currents of criticism wash him away. No man can stand prominence these days….. it is the surest path to obscurity. People get sick of hearing the same name over and over.
– F Scott Fitzgerald
The only prerequisites……
……… to leadership are that you remain positive, calm, and open-minded.

……. the way of life, you will see a great chasm. Jump.
It is not as wide as you think.

Rely on your own…..
….. strength of body and soul. Take for your star self-reliance, faith, honesty and industry. Don’t take too much advice — keep at the helm and steer your own ship, and remember that the great art of commanding is to take a fair share of the work. Fire above the mark you intend to hit. Energy, invincible determination with the right motive, are the levers that move the world.
– Noah Porter
