great leaders are not born, they are made.

( actually i am too lazy to think much about this topic. hahaha. )

William A. Cohen once said in one of his writing that " effectiveness as a leader depends less on some innate trait you are born with, and much more on specific principles that anyone can follow. "


what can we say about the above statement? well, after thinking very very very very very deeply and madly, i have came to a thought. anyone can be a leader. even i can be a leader even though i am a shy shy cat person. even a 8 years old boy whom still drink with his milk bottle can be a leader. even a psychotic person like luthfi ( not a real person ) can be a leader. 

he can become a leader

he can also become a leader

the point is, anyone with different characters and traits can become a leader. 


but to become a really great leader is a challenge that a leader must faced. a person is not born with the characteristics of a great leader. instead, the characteristics are later being obtained after some hard work and years of practice. they are not obtained by just waiting and doing nothing. 


when you are born, is it possible that the characteristic of a great leader just appeared on its own? well, maybe when you are born, the intelligent, speaking skills kind of things were in you. but the leadership skills does not come on its own.


maybe, to become a great leader, you must start from the bottom. i mean, you become a class leader during primary school, then you become a prefect, then you become a class president during secondary school, then you become a member of the student representative council during school time, then you become the president of the student representative council in your university's time. then you could become a great leader after years of practice. 


in the end, we all should become a great leader. and it is a must for guys like me, a gentleman. we will become the leader of our own family after we get married. but if you dont want to get married, well, then i think you can ignore what i write. hah.


that's all from me.


thank you.


the end.

peace.
