Only in the very latest times have a few of them begun to understand that work ought not to be a bugbear to some and like galley-salvery for others, but should be a common and happy occupation, uniting all the men. They have begun to understand that with death constantly threatening each of us, the only reasonable business of every man is to spend the years,months,hours and minutes, allotted him - in unity and love. They have begun to understand that sickness, far from dividing men, should on the contrary,give opportunity for loving union with one another.

அவள், என்னவள்

அவள்,

      என்,

               நீண்டநாள் கனவு!

               நிஜமான நிகழ்வு!

               தன்னம்பிக்கை திறவு!

               பேரன்பு கொண்ட உறவு!

               அருகாமை நிலவு!

               அவள், என்னவள்.

Being able to navigate for others requires a leader to possess a positive attitude. You've got to have faith that you can take your people the way. If you can't confidently make the trip in your mind, you're not going to be able to take it in real life. On the other hand, you also have to be able to see the facts realistically. You can't minimize obstacles or rationalize your challenges. If you don't go in with your eyes wide open, you're going to get blindsided. As Bill Easum observes, "Realistic leaders are objective enough to minimize illusions. They understand that self deception can cost them their vision." Sometimes it's difficult balancing optimism and realism, intuition and planning, faith and fact. But that's what it takes to be effective as a navigating leader.

General Electric chairman Jack Welch asserts, "A good leader remains focused.. Controlling your direction is better than being controlled by it." Welch is right, but leaders who navigate do even more than control the direction in which they and their people travel. They see the whole trip on their minds before they leave the dock. They have a vision for their destination,they understand what it will take to get there, they know who they'll need on the team to be successful,and they recognize the obstacles long before they appear on horizon.

Here is my favorite leadership proverb: "He who thinks he leads but has no followers, is only taking a walk." If you can't influence others,they won't follow you. And if they won't follow, you're not a leader. That's the Law of Influence. No matter what anybody else tells you, remember that leadership is influence - nothing more,nothing less.

As Harry A Overstreet observed "The very essence of all power to influence lies in getting the other person to participate." Followers in voluntary organizations cannot be forced to get on board. If the leader has no influence with them,then they won't follow. If they can get people to follow them while they're serving at the Red Cross or a United Way shelter,then you know that they really do have influence and leadership ability. #John C Maxwell

Where is there any book of the law so clear or each man as that written in his heart? What sacrifices equal the self denials which loving men and women make for one another? And what altar can be compared with the heart of a good man on which God himself accepts the sacrifice?

The higher the man's conception of God the better will be he know Him. And the better he knows God the nearer will he draw to Him, imitating His goodness, His mercy and His love of man.
