Leadership Qualities

Tomorrow¶s leaders must be able to think

globally because no longer is it possible to

separate any community, society, or nation

from the rest of the world.

They must have a far-reaching vision of the

future from which to draw the strength and

motivation needed to act effectively intransforming their vision into significant

achievement.




They must be strong, effective

communicators, courageously facing all

challenges that come their way, and shrewd

enough to ascertain the direction that weshould follow.

They must be flexible and able to discern that

teamwork is eminently superior to individualeffort. Very little can be achieved without

the cooperation of others.




They must understand the potential value of

the New Generations as a vital element for

our future and growth and must devote

special care and attention to fellow young people.

They must lead by example in all aspects of

life, thus inspiring others. The public takes pride in these leaders when they are positive

role models.




They must be men and women with keen

minds, who are able, nevertheless, to follow

their hearts while carrying out their

leadership responsibilities.



A Conversation

From Pablo Coelho,

Lik eth

e Fl owin

g Riv

er - This is a collection of reflections from Paulo Coelho.

In this riveting collection of thoughts and stories, he offers

his personal reflections on a wide range of subjects from

archery and music to elegance, travelling and the nature of good and evil.



A Conversation

Grandson: µWhat are you writing?¶

Grandma: µI¶m writing about you.

But more important than the wordsI¶m writing is the pencil I¶m using.

I hope you will be like this pencil

when you grow up.¶



A Conversation

Grandson: µBut it¶s just like any other

pencil«¶

Grandma: µThat depends on how youlook at things. It has five qualities

which, if you manage to hang on

them, will make you a person whois always at peace with the world.¶



A Conversation

First quality:

µYou are capable of great things, but

you must never forget that there is ahand guiding your steps. We call

that hand God, and He always

guides us according to His will.¶



A Conversation

Second quality:

µNow and then, I have to stop writing

and use a sharpener. That makes the pencil suffer a little, but afterwards,

he¶s much sharper.



A Conversation

Second quality:

So you, too, must learn to bear certain pains and sorrows, because they will

make you a better person.¶



A Conversation

Third quality:

µThe pencil always allows us to use

an eraser to rub out any mistakes.This means that correcting

something we did is not necessarily

a bad thing; it helps to keep us onthe road to justice.¶



A Conversation

Fourth quality:

µWhat really matters in a pencil is not

its wooden exterior, but the graphiteinside. So always pay attention to

what is happening inside you.¶



A Conversation

Finally, the pencil¶s fifth quality:

µIt always leaves a mark. in just the

same way, you should know thateverything you do in life will leave

a mark, so try to be conscious of

that in your every action¶



Lessons from Grandma

Be aware of your God-given talents

be capable of great things,

remember God is there to guide you Be strong: bear & endure obstacles

that may come your way

Be not afraid to commit mistakes:

learn & become better



Lessons from Grandma

Be mindful of your inner values &

strengths be the change you want

to see in this world Be a person who leaves a mark in

your work and in people around

you.

³SELFLESS DEDICATION´



John Wesley¶s Motto:

³Do all the good you can, by all the

means you can, in all the ways youcan, in all the places you can, at all

the times you can, to all the people

you can, as long as you ever can.´
