How to be a leader who inspires, not one who shatters.

How to be a leader who inspires, not one who shatters.

A young man saw his primary school teacher at a wedding ceremony.
He went to greet him with all respect and admiration!!

He said to him:
"Can you still recognize me Sir?'
'I don't think so!!', said the teacher, 'could you please remind me how we met?'

The student recounted:
"I was your student in the 3rd Grade, I stole a Wrist watch belonging to my then classmate because it was unique and fascinating.

My Classmate came to you crying that his Wrist Watch had been stolen and you ordered all Students in the class to stand on a straight line, facing the wall with our hands up and our eyes closed so you could check our pockets.

At this point, I became jittery and terrified of the outcome of the search. The shame I would face after other Students discovered that I stole the watch, the opinions my teachers would form about me, the thought of being named a ' thief' till I leave the School and my Parents' reaction when they get to know about my action.

All these thoughts flowing across my heart, when suddenly it was my turn to be checked. I felt your hand slipped into my pocket, brought out the Watch and dip a note into my pocket. The note read "stop stealing. God and man hates it. Stealing will embarrase you before God and man".

I was gripped with fear, expecting the worse to be announced. I was surprised I didn't hear anything, but Sir, you continued searching other students' pockets till you got to the last person.

When the search was over, you asked us to open our eyes and sit on our chairs. I was afraid to sit because I was thinking you will call me out soon after everyone was seated.

But to my amazement, you showed the watch to the class, gave it to the owner and you never mentioned the name of the one who stole the watch. You didn't say a word to me, and you never mentioned the story to anyone.

Throughout my stay in the school, no Teacher or Student knew what happened. This incident naturally taught me a great lesson and I resolved in my heart never to get myself involved in taking whatever is not mine.
I thought to myself, you saved my dignity."
"Do you remember the story now Sir? You can't simply forget this story Sir!!"

The teacher replied, ' I vividly remember the story that I found the Watch in a pocket but i did not know in whose pocket the stolen Watch was found that day because I searched your pockets while I also had my eyes closed."

In life, we need wisdom for everything we do. As parents, teachers, Pastors, leaders etc... *We should be able to close our eyes to some things. Not all misbehaviour require punishment.  Some will need encouragement,  some mentoring and some monitoring.*

*Be a teacher or leader who inspires, not one who shatters.*

10 Things that Worth Pursuing in Life.

1. Love: You may have not found it, but it does exist. And it doesn't always have to be intimate.

2. Friendship: Having a few authentic true friends, can really make a difference. But friendships can form when least expected.

3. Self-Awareness: You will know it, when it starts creeping in. Life changing to say the least. Especially if you start surrounding yourself with those in pursuit also.

4. Health: Health is very important. Learn about your body. What you put in it is what you will get out of it.

5. Mental Health: Not with a therapist, but with proper sleep, nutrition, meditation, healthy friends, goals, limited alcohol use, removing toxic people, setting personal boundaries, etc.

6. Higher Power: In reality, whatever works for you. There is something greater than yourself out there. No other way to explain it.

7. Lessons: There are some gut wrenching lessons in this world. And if you don't learn from them, you will keep repeating them. Accept who was put in your life at particular times and take something from each and every one of them. The biggest heart break can be the biggest lesson for self-growth.

8. Boundaries: Do NOT let anyone treat you as a convenience, or as an object. Watch how people's actions, not what they say. Actions are everything. With proper boundaries you will avoid much pain.

9. Adventure: Pursue those adventures that you have been longing for while you can. Never too old for adventure!

10. Independence: Not just financial, but emotional. Really take some time to be alone, that's where true growth starts! It will not come through someone else, or in relationship. If you aren't happy with yourself, you will surely not find it in a relationship.
