A Leader

A long time since I drop by my blog to talk about what is going on around me. Something I would like to share with all of you who are reading my blog.

Earlier this week, I watched a movie by the title of Matchstick Man played by Nicholas Cage and my favorite Alison Lohman, gotten the DVD from HMV and really its a good movie for me to recommend to anyone of you who wants to watch a movie.

The day after, I was suppose to attend a camp as a facilitator. This camp is for my students and its somekind of leadership and motivational camp as to train the students to be student leaders. Its really a cool camp and also the camp was located a very cool place too.

Compare to last year's camp at Changi, this year the camp venue was at this super ulu place in Singapore. Lim Chu Kang. And this is the place people will come here to bury the dead. Ok lets not talk about that part.

What I really wanna share with all of you is that, while I as a facilitor to the camp, I am also responsible for the well being and the development of my students. So I was sitting together with the students as well as their trainers.

Extracting a quote from the movie Matchstick Man, I start to relate it this way..

"Money to some people are like foreign films without subtitles" This is the exact quote which I relate it to my students. Money is a value that we perceives in which we create to believe that it carries a value with us all the time. While foreign films without subtitles is difficult to be understand by anyone who dont speak that language and it loses its value if no one able to appreciate it.

It is the same as people, everyone around us perceives a value and we create a value to everyone around us which makes a believe that how much of value that a person carries. The value will then determine who we are and what makes us around us. So as a person and esp as a leader, we need to create a value for ourselves to let others perceives what makes us a leader.

A leader is someone who stands out from everyone else and they are the one who shape our environment. It is some think everyone ought to ponder upon if he/she wants to be unique in their own way.

Cheers,
