Standing Up

When being a leader you need to stand up for what you believe in. Even when no one is standing behind you. Like the one speaker said leadership starts in the dark, alone. You can't always have people behind you but it doesn't mean your not doing the right thing. Don't follow in someone else's footsteps. As a leader you know what is right and stick to it and you NEED to stick to it. Leaders make their own path, they don't follow the ones already made. Stand up and make a change. Be the change.

Speeches

This week we had our class do leadership speeches. We had some on drinking and driving. I personally believe that no one should ever, ever drink and drive. Another one was texting and driving. On that situation I feel like that is a huge issue. I will admit that I have done it. It needs to stop with not only me but others because it kills. There was diet supplements. Some i believe are good and can help. The other ones are nothing but hurtful. Mine was on four way to talk to someone when you are in a fight.

Speaker

Ernie yesterday was my favorite speaker of all so far. What he said really got to me and i understood what he said. No fear of failure is a leadership quaility and pride is an inner qualitity. If it is left unchecked it can destroy a person. He said leadership begins in the dark, with your self. Thats very true. Leaders that have character leave a longer impression and impact on people and the world. focus on the external points and you wont be a good leader he said. Base your life on you morals like, trust, hardwork, and have humility. Have respect for others and you will get morals back from others. Leadership must be earned.

Frame

In my frame I had in my four corners was hope, love, faith, and fait. I believe in life in order for it to be fulfilling you need to have someone to share it with. That is love, life is nothing without having someone to experence it with. With hope you need to have hope for all things you do. I also believe that you should look to God to help you with everthing in life. With faith you will have a path to follow if you ever get lost and need help, look to God. I believe that everthing in life happens for a reason. Fait is something everything and everyone shoould have in life.

From the guest speakers..

Leaders come in all shapes and sizes. They show leadership in many different ways. A leader makes strong bonds and gains people's trust. Leaders build relationships with other people and get to know them and in return they let others know about them. Life is 90 percent on how you react and 10 percent is what you can't control. Life is about the choices you make and what is thrown at you and how you react to it. Things happen for a reason and leaders make the best out of it. Out of every situation they try their hardest. Life is what you make it. No one can start things for you, you have to do it yourself.

what influences how I see things...

In life God influences me on how I see certain things in life. I see if the things are morally correct. If they are against my religion. Also on how this makes me show my self to others. In life also my family influences me. I think how would my parents or brother and sister handle this. I think back about all the wonderful things my parents have toughed me. I think about whats right and whats wrong and try and do the best thing. I am also influenced on how I see things by my attitude. I want to see things in a positive way and have a good attitude. To make a better outcome.

In being a leader you need to see a wide view of everything. There are many different views and opinions. You need to have an open mind and help everyone. Leaders can learn from other and take it in a good way and be coachable. they communicate with everyone and make it work.
