A Wish For Leaders
I sincerely wish you will have the experience of thinking up a new idea, planning it, organizing it, and following it to completion, and then having it be magnificently successful. I also hope you’ll go through the same process and have something fail.
I wish for you the worst kind of criticism for everything you do, because that makes you fight to achieve beyond what you normally would.
I wish for you a magnificent obsession that will give you reason for living and purpose and direction in life.
I wish that you could achieve some great good for mankind, but have nobody know about it except you.
I hope you give so much of yourself that some days you wonder if it’s worth it all.
I wish you could find something so worthwhile that you deem it worthy of investing your life.
I wish for you the experience of leadership.
