Leadership.
I'm slowly recovering from the post block test traumatism. Yet the stress is there. Im not picking up speed the way i wanted. Maybe there were too many distractions recently. I counld't sit down and do my work. I admit that i slacked for the past one whole week. Stress doesn't come from the heavy work load. It comes from slacking when you are given responsibilities.In this case, it is my responsibility to study. I ought to be thankful for my chance to study in a jc.Even though it is one that is so far away from where i am staying. Looking on the bright side,i was just one point away before i lose the chance to enter a jc. Although the travelling time wears me out, often i have to remind myself how lucky i may be compared to others who are not able to even enter a jc, to stop my self from grumbling. I know i couldn't help it at times,after hearing people staying nearer to school complaining about the distant Although we must compare ourselves against those better or the more fortunate than us, we musn't neglect and must spare a thought for those less fortunate.214 seems to be drifting apart.Maybe it is my opinion only. It might be stress getting to us or the lack of communication? The values Day is coming, yet not many are committed in helping. I admit i may be one of the not committed ones.But i do want to help. However, the changing of plans again and again do turn some people off. It's nobody's fault,but i feel that it might be better to work on a problem rather than brainstorm for another and face new problems. Initially,more of us were active in the discussion, slowly many drifted away. Some autocratic "leaders" rose up and started screaming at everyone. If that would help would there still be any peace? Good leaders don't scream at others,they lead and motivate by example.Everyone agress that a good leader has to be democratic. Any leadership workship would mention that. Although some believe that leadership skills can be built upon, i do not agree. Leaders are born this way.Leadership workshops only enable leaders to discover themselves. If everyone can be trained to be leaders,who will be the follower. If we are not born leader, let's accept this fact and do our part in other ways. Everyone has their own potential,that makes us unique.
