“”When the whispers of fear and doubt start screaming inside of you, turn up the volume of your courage by focusing on your faith, energizing through example, living to learn, and learning to love and be loved better.”

“Contrary to popular opinion, leadership is not a reserved position for a particular group of people who were elected or appointed, ordained or enthroned. Leadership is self-made, self-retained, self-inculcated and then exposed through a faithful, sincere and examplary life.”
— Israelmore Ayivor

Story
September 5, 2016 by
I’m 35 years old. I’m a boss at work but a hermit in life. I have no friends but have one tradition: I go to the same pub, take a seat at the very end of the bar, and drink Guinness.
On one such evening, someone suddenly covered my eyes with their hands and asked, “Guess who?“ The girl behind me realized she was mistaken, apologized, and went to the other end of the bar. She was so young, light, with eyes reminding me of two large black beads: she was different. I couldn’t think anymore, and Guinness suddenly seemed bitter.
She had been waiting for someone for all this time but in vain. Thinking I was crazy, I started thinking about how to start a conversation, but I had no good ideas. The bar was closing, and she was going to leave. I ran outside, and, because of awful weather and because she was looking so sad, I offered her a ride home.
In the car she wouldn’t stop talking — she was so…alive! I forgot to ask for her number, and it came to my mind only at home. I returned to the pub in a week, and she was there. Sitting in my place. I covered her eyes with my hands and asked, ”Guess who?” She started laughing and cried, “I thought you’d never come here!”

“A young child is a leader to an elderly person once his purpose has a faithful, sincere and trustworthy influence on people. Leadership is not restricted to position and age; it is self-made and influencial. Everyone has this self-leadership quality.”
