issues...
a bit of a ritorcal question here or more of a ranting out loud before i burst type deal... but i really want to know what others think about this way of thinking about leadership... i've always wanted to lead but been too 'polite' to do it... for lack of a better term. sweatdrop

do you think by being a leader you are ultimatly being selfish at the same time? because i mean your making choices you might have no right to make... i dunno some times in school i want to lead when the others fall silent and don't have idea's but i don't because i don't really think i have the right. i guess i'm very big on free will and not being too bossy and don't want to take that away from people but still when nobody makes a decision in like drama class then we fail i kinda wish i had spoken up... sweatdrop or in a discusion today everybody kept getting the theory behind a passage wrong and it was apparently evident i didn't agree with everybody to the point where the stduent running the discusion stopped everybody and asked me if i had something to say but i didn't say anything because it was so different and i had already answered too many already... i just don't really know if it's right to lead or speak up when everybody hates you in your grade... i guess i'm just too passive and socally challenged overall, i try to trouble people very little, i never complain about being sick, i never say somethings unfair and i never stand up to people just because i don't want to cause trouble. i mean one time i went to school for 2 hours before getting sick just because my mom had work and my dad wanted to go see a movie. they're not bad parents... but for some reason i just never really feel worth causing them or anybody else any hassle, more often then not at a larger then normal cost to myself...
i realize this rant about leadership has turned to something else entirly but i need to get it out. plus im sure very few people read this anyways.

Well, if you want to be leader, don't simply speak out what you think should happen. Alter your conversation so that you speak in the interests of both you and the people you are leading. Being a leader is not simply advising, but representing what the people stand for. So, just remember: Represent your people and never think for yourself.

Wether or not you have others against you shouldnt matter. Even if the whole world is out to get you, you still have to speak your mind. Keeping quiet and not saying anything will make people take advantage of you since they know that you dont want to cause trouble for them. Speak up, yell, scream, stand up. You dont have to be a leader just to be able to stand up for yourself. Even if you are quiet you still have an opinion and a brain. Nobody should be taking advantage of..............nobody.

Hope you have fun with this hell hole we all call life. Why we may be here on this planet shouldnt matter, because what ever the reason you cant give up.

<center>Just learn to stand up for yourself!
Do what I do, speak when needed but be silent when not. Just as long as your not showing off everyone will be fine with that. And if you mess up its just a blip in time, you will be the only one who remembers it.
