Fear of death
The world today is conspiring to bring fear
into everyone's hearts. The greatest of them is fear of people. We don't feel
safe anywhere. We are unable to trust anyone. Whether family or friends or
strangers, there is a whole lot of uncertainty? The dishonesty and decadence
around humans has reached its peak.
Then, there are also environmental
concerns. Fear of the kind of world we are leaving for the next generations.
Fear of death is huge. Fear of losing wealth,
affluence, success. Losing the limelight...fear, fear, fear...
Fear psychosis rules under the beautifully
masked people. Is there any point in continuing this way? Does it help anyone
and anything? We are unhappy and others are unhappy. Waste of a life if we
can't turn our lives around!

Success and admiration
This choice of either following or leading
is just like giving a choice of birth and death but forgetting to focus on the
importance of the journey between the two points. When you ask someone to
either follow or lead, you perhaps ask for a very simplistic choice.
To follow is essential in order to observe
and learn. And then graduate to leadership. But it is equally true that people
who are chosen to be leaders have to have the qualities of a follower. In fact,
both the roles are constant and interchangeable. No one person can possibly
know everything.
The premise is that we all are constantly
learning from each other. And leaders need to keep their head squarely on their
shoulders and their egos thoroughly in check to sustain their leadership.
A leader therefore, is a balanced
individual who needs to maintain a sense of respect as well as respect those
around, whether in families, groups or workplaces. And one who also switches
roles as per the need of the hour, a definite formula for success and
admiration.
