You are a different animal, nothing less.

Which animal would you compare yourself to and why?

The rain elapsed, followed by a slight sunshine. Having been home all day due to the reduction in job demand by the company I currently work for, I was among those laid off till further notice. Cold and jittery, my mind took the greater part of me. It has been raining all through this month, to the surprise of everyone. Where does the hall of mountain sunshine seem to be suddenly becoming a cold water forest? Maybe it’s climate change. Madrid, the center of Europe, has monotonous weather. 

What again is this topic about? * Which animal would I compare myself to and why? 

I quickly stepped outside the gate to grace the noon sun, which pelted my spirit and soul and had me in the same position with my body fighting over the best position, which was most enjoyable. Putting my face up directly to the rays of sunlight, eyes closed, wishing that I could be made to lie down in my position for a long period of time, though I was only in front of my house building, resting partially on a parked vehicle. Many passersby understood the importance of the sun to me, judging by their looks towards me, of which I paid no attention. Suddenly there was a bird noise, which reminded me of a particular bird back then in my hometown, usually heard early afternoon and evening, a unique one though. However, that is not the type of animal I am or like to be compared with, but I love its gentle and peaceful nature. 

Irrespective of your kind,no animal survives alone.

Even as the memories of hunting them for food in the past resonated in my mind, something I frown at currently because I believe that every animal has the right to life. There sit two birds of the same feather, like the usual words (they flock together), but something stood out that had me in awe, even to the point of taking my mind away from these golden rays of sunshine. I looked furiously towards the birds sitting on telephone cables; it appeared that they were young couples or friends of opposite sexes. It was my first time seeing such intimacy between such animals, even in humans. At first they spoke to each other in their language, then kissed passionately. I became confused because I never believed my eyes. Then they mated, after which they caressed each other by picking each other’s feathers, even to the extent of laying their heads on each other. I froze at my position, not realizing how long I had been gazing at these wonderful birds. Maybe the universe was talking to me indirectly about how life, courtship, friendship, and marriage should be, or maybe I am lost in my own thoughts. I quickly ran inside, having enjoyed the sun and the birds’ companionship… 

As humans, we are nothing less than a different animal, but whichever you choose to be, or compared with! Let it be with love, openness, and tolerance for one another; For irrespective of your kinds, no animal survives alone.

We are all leaders but.!

What makes a good leader?

Not all of is are very good at it

Leadership is the capacity to take charge of a group and become a key figure in any organisation or entity. It makes sense that anyone can have the qualities of a leader in the same situation, but only a select few are able to lead an organisation to success. Speaking of success, an organisation is considered successful when its employees’ potential is fully realised and well-cared for, in addition to when it meets its financial objectives. Although discussing all of the numerous attributes of a successful leader would require a significant amount of time and space, I will attempt to provide a summary for our convenience.

We all are leaders, but not all are good at it.

A leader should have these attributes in addition to integrity, empathy, and effective communication; to be respected by those under their direction, a leader must be a person of impeccable character who can see problems not only from his or her own point of view but also from that of other colleagues who are also skilled at communicating with everyone. powerful, determined, and visionary. A person cannot become a good leader if they lack vision, strength, and focus. The leadership traits and structures of an organization  determine its level of success.

An organisation needs a strong, determined, and visionary leader with a set of short-term and long-term objectives rooted in every action. A good leader leads by example, and it is not just found in corporate settings; it can also be found in our homes (families). Clubs, age groups, schools, etc. The people credit a good leader and not otherwise. All of us are leaders, but not all of us are very good at it.
