Some people got leadership, some people don't.

'Well, what can i do?'         'Ben, you can do whatever the _____ you want, because you're not part of this group anymore!'         *....................*

A shinning example of my leadership.

Some people got it, some people don't. And what can i say? I don't have it. Oh well! I can live with that. I'm perfectly fine with not being the leader. Although, when I'm tired, cranky, and all i want to do is finish the project, i have no trouble stepping up to the plate and i often go down swinging. People around me tend to stay around and watch the fireworks.

What troubles me are the people that naturally assume, that, just by being born, they have some god given right to be a leader, and can order people around.

Well, they can't.

In particular, there are two girls. Both i have a hard time dealing with, because they assume they are leaders and can bark out orders like a seasoned general.

In reality, they just annoy the rest of us.

Leaders have to inspire hope and trust and loyalty and all that stuff that they talk about that i tend to tune out. I stay up until 2 in the morning writing........ i don't always pay attention.

Point is though, you kinda have to be likable to be a leader. You know, so when everyone around you rolls their eyes 24/7, it's a clear sign to......................... Back down!!!!!

Oh well. Live and let live. Love your enemies. Blah blah blah. Whatever. If you're gonna lead, do it right. *pointed look at two of my soccer coaches* your team shouldn't hate you or want to rebel. That's a bad sign. It's like Pirates of the Caribbean, which i watched with grace this weekend as we put up the Christmas tree. A leader has to be loved in order to stay in the position, otherwise someone else is going to come along and take it.

End of my rant on leadership.
