The sun, on the spur of the moment, hides behind the clouds and wheels towards the west. My facial expression folded into a case of anxiety as I watched the sunset. I shot a skeptical look in astonishment. The wind was never left out, dancing on the surface of the water. Life brought it trouble at night! Life had betrayed me!!! I was brawling too hard to keep going in lonely nights after deep loneliness in the crepuscular valley of

It is said, "Don't let your background to put you back on the ground." The critical factor to note in life is that; it does not matter what happened to you. The only thing that matters is how you can rise from the valley of needs to the mountain top of triumph. Never stay at a point for too long, it only reveals stagnation; even the butterflies never remain in one stage of their transformation. Avoid living in the past; gather the shattered pieces of your broken life and move as fast as you can into the ever shifting horizon of positive change. Don't compromise your values; rather, be steadfast in the things you do: if you do, it will dim your light and block your chances. In this journey, time is very important. Don't joke with time and even your life is limited to time. Value your time; yesterday's time is gone forever and there is no substitute for it.Everything requires time; and always be time conscious: It reveals the true state of things. Commitment and consistency should be your watchword; you will rise from the ashes of doom to the mountain top of success and jubilation. Discover your strength; your background doesn't matter. Those who made the decision to love what they do for a living have created tremendous success and rewards for themselves. You must learn to make decision if you really need a change. Life's decisions could be tough to make, but you have the power to make the right decisions. You need to often make the right decisions about your life's journey, even though it might be inconvenient you; you never know which decision will change your life forever. One positive decision can dramatically impact your life and change the course of your destiny. Decision is hard to take especially when it is a choice between where you should be and where you want to be. When you factor into a decision, those things that are important to you should be at the forefront in your scale of preference. The decision you make today will determine your tomorrow. Make wise decisions for a better tomorrow; otherwise, your today will be better than your tomorrow. In other words, you would remain stagnant at a point. No aspirant of success stays at a point for long; there should be a positive shift in the horizon. If you are stagnant, it means you are not making progress and if you are not progressing, you are digressing. If you have taken the wrong path, be ready for a change of course; it is important for success. If you are unhappy with the quality of life, you lead and think about having a major change: hammer out exactly what you hope to achieve by ripping things up to make a better change. Our lives are full of decisions, from the small and mundane to the most important things in life. We have a certain freedom to decide what to do; however, be guided in the right path. Make a choice that is not base in the now or selfish desires but base on the interest of what stand to change in the positive direction towards the future you anticipate. Consistently making good decisions is arguably the most important habit we can develop, especially at work. We may ponder at times whether our decisions count for anything and if our lives make any kind of difference. Perhaps, it is infinitesimal, and you can't see it impact in your life. Hold strong to this rule and guide: keep making positive decisions. One day, you will wake up to realize that those decisions you were making to have to lead you to the promise land. Any positive decision can potentially change one's life entirely. If you change a mentality about an approach that is not yielding any positive change in your struggles, no matter how good or bad, right or wrong: life tends to take a new dimension.

Leadership is a journey for advancement, and never comes easy. It is plague with lot of uncertainties, sorrow, pains, and sufferings. If you fall in the course of the journey, don't feel bad; life is a struggle, just standup and continue with the struggle: walk fast ahead like a courageous solder guarding the expanse of the desert. Every step you cover is progress; and one day someday, you will realize that you have built a great nation. Great leaders are at the cradle of human existence; they engage their floods of inspiration to build great nations: they rule the world with unusual ideas. Everyone is a distinguished leader in the simple unit of their organization; and every leader and leadership aspirant should consider themselves as stewards.

Leaders should strive toward developing management professionalism, regulating management practice, and promoting management culture through shared values. Leaders should assume the responsibility for selfless service, service above self; and to contribute to strategic transformation to promote the ideas of management through universal best practice, distinctive individual discipline, and corporate governance standards. Leaders should work together through team-working and cordiality, with process discipline and outcome focus, in an orderly, systematic, and professional manner. They should put feet to achieve best practices and target outcomes; while disapproving under-achievement that leaves corpses on the way, even when targets are achieved. Leaders should express themselves through dialogue with deep sense of decency and decorum; employing the force of reason and the power of logic not logic of power. Leadership involves influencing, inspiring, motivating, and directing others to do their best to attain/achieve organizational/societal goals. A leader leads by setting standards, directing people, taking decisions and solving problems. Leadership is a positive lifestyle of emulation that brings societal transformation: every leader is a role model.
