Leader

                                                                        Know Yourself- Be The Leader

Never follow anyone else’s path, unless you’re in the woods or you’re lost and you see a path by all means you should follow that. Don’t give advice, it will come back and make you fool. Don’t take anyone’s advice. So my advice to you is to be true to yourself and everything will be fine.

According to Wikipedia: “The principle was suggested by management thinker Joseph M. Juran. It was named after the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, who observed that 80% of income in Italy was received by 20% of the Italian population. The assumption is that most of the results in any situation are determined by a small number of causes.”

We are always affected by the environment around us. Our parents wants us to be like their generation. They want us to be doctors or engineers, as that is what they think is the best path for us to take, despite our feelings, passion, and things that we want to do. So many people in the younger generations are choosing certain careers because their parents advised them one day to study hard, get good grades to go to the university in order to get a high-paying job later. This trend is forming our economy’s structure.

Regardless of how close you are to reaching your goals, if you are persistent but don’t have a plan, you will reach nowhere. It’s like if you’re going to visit a place in another country. No matter how hard you work on getting to that place, if you don’t have a map to guide you to place you want to reach, you will never get there.

You need to find your own path and focus on it, focus on what you do best, which is the 20 percent, not the 80 percent. Let the crowd follow you instead of you following the crowd. Usually, leaders go somewhere that nobody has been before. So let the people follow you. If you want to be a leader, then start leading now; block the voice inside you that’s saying “me me me first.” Put the people that you are leading first and start leading them by example.

In the movie of your life, you need to be the director. You need to be yourself. You need to distinguish yourself from others and have your own character, so people will recognize you. Most of the names are similar, but people are different, so you need to be different. Think this way: Be unique, be innovative, be yourself, and focus on what you do best.

You always need to be in control of your life. You need to keep the joystick of your life game in your hand, especially if you want to be an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs always take risks, because they want to be in control. They want to be in control of their lives, their paths, and their freedom. Employees will never be in control of their lives. They can be fired anytime and lose everything, because their lives are revolving around only one stream of income, which is their salary.
