A Chinese proverb reads, "The flower that blossom in an adversity is the rarest and most beautiful of all".
A leader, is one who is more the happy to provide help and guidance to whoever in need. Great leaders aplenty, Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, President Roosevelt, Julio Caesar. Lesser known leaders aplenty, our bosses, our parents, our teachers, our friends. Similarly, all of them carries dreams that encompasses others, to give them hopes through testing and challenging times.
I wonder, is there anything that these great leaders ever lose hope in adverisity? Do they ever suspect their own abilities to lead?
Myself, nothing spectacular as these great leaders. But nevertheless still a leader of somewhat. Guiding and providing hope to certain people in needs.
Up above, i'm just like a duck swimming calmly across the lake. Down below, my legs are churning madly just to stay afloat with fear than my feet would stop churning one day and drown. Times are so bad, that my self believe and confidence are thinner by the day, will my feet stop churning and drown myself with all the hopes that was laid on me, i wonder. At times, i did wonder if i've taken more than my plate can accomodate.
The greatest fear is not failure, but rather than failure will drown the hopes of others with me. The burden of living up to expectations is heavy, just hope that i do live up to it.
Someone once told me, assume if the duck is a mice, and the lake is a bowl of cream soup. Mice can't swim but this mouse knew the meaning and purpose of his life. He has a family which he love dearly and want to go home to them. Therefore drowning is not an option. He churns his leg fast enough that the soup starts to thicken, and eventually became thick and solid enough that he can walks on it can escape from the bowl.
A leader is no different from the mouse. A leader needs to know the meaning and purpose of his role in order to leaer effectively. Rather than accept the given adversity, a leader should acknowledge the adverse and try to change it into favorable opportunity to improve and change.
I hope, i may soon stumble upon the serenity to seek the power from within, to turns adversity into hope, before the virus of negativity spread beyond cure through the whole team.
I wished not to be the flower of adversity, but i do wish for a simple inspriration, that will enable everyone to put food daily on the table, with the knowledge that there will still be food on the table for days to come.
