THE SIMPLE LIFE

RANDOM BLOG CONTINUATION

Yeah, I've been blogging a lot more these past couple of days...guess that means I'm just super efficient *grin*

Anyways, I got a Christmas gift from the Dean of Students today -totally cool! It's only because I work in the office and he gives everyone something but still, it's the thought that counts. He gave it to me personally so I got a chance to talk to him. He was the one that interviewed me when I first applied and I really learn a lot whenever I hear him speak. One of the reasons why I choose this particular school was because of him and how he represented the school. I have complete respect for the guy.

So I asked him his opinion on the whole spending time wisely...and he gave me some his own thoughts. Got a lot to chew on and definitely some more personal evaluation/reflection to be done.

Here's what my present (a traveller's mug) says:

"A true leader has the confidence to stand alone,
the courage to make tough decisions,
and the compassion to listen to the needs of others.
He does not set out to be a leader,
but becomes one by the integrity of his actions.
In the end, leaders are much like eagles...
they don't flock, you find them one at a time." (and then it has a picture of an eagle)


Just something to think about.




P.S. Trust the Americans to use an eagle to represent leadership! haha...=P
