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.
