In my previous post
“Who is a Successful Person”, the poem tells us few traits of a successful
person. In order to succeed, we should work hard; not to acquire those material
things being mentioned (cars, houses etc.) in order to live life comfortably,
however to share or to pass those successes to others who have not yet attained
it. A leader is the best example for a successful person. In school, why should
we study the lives of Alexander the Great, Abraham Lincoln, and some other
remarkable Leaders?
Leaders are not born.
Leaders are made, and they are made by effort and hard work. Definitely, this
is true. It only matters on how we live our life with worth. Maybe we could be
one of those famous leaders, and like them, your life and work will be pass
also to the next generation as a guide on how to live their lives successfully.
What is or who is a
leader? Of course, a leader has a followers that is why he lead. Leaders
inspire followers to willingly sacrifice their selfish interest for a higher
cause. Below are the characteristics and qualities of a successful leader:
