2008, when I
was appointed as the head boy of hostel (Hostel Captain) I got opportunity to
lead 100+ young minds of nation....my warden told me "the life you are living
is dreams of millions"...I gave a surprised look and asked him "Sir,
aisa kyun Kah rahe ho?? "...!! He said you are a leader
now... (I goggled and tried to search meaning of leader) !!
Eventually, I got the opportunity to lead my college football and Basketball
team in final year...but life took different path in 2012, when, I started new
journey of life... To search a job for myself...I got one....my Dad asked a
very simple question...what's your aim for this job? I proudly
answered...I want to earn money...he opposed me saying never work for
money. Rather work for passion…do what makes you happy…not what gives you
money…Money doesn't gives happiness…but happiness may give you money…In simple
word he wanted to follow his spirit “work to become a leader and work with a
leader”..! After all I decided the ultimate goal of my life is that "I
need to work with a leader and become a leader"..!! I joined corporate
and started searching for a leader. Let me tell you the truth I dint find a
single leader. I can publicly say none of my manager till now deserves to be
called as leader..!!
Before you
start reading ahead... Ask a question to yourself... Who are you????... Think
for 5 sec...1..2...3...4...5....! Over.. So, you are (Abnish, Sumeet,
Nitesh, Pooja, Mahi, Arundhati, Sumi, Priyanka, Madhu, Shireen, Jiten or
anyone..........)
Now, Let me ask you! Who are you? Who are you? Do you know???...Who are you? .... Are you boy or Girl? ...are you a lady or gentleman? ....are you a recruiter or job seeker? .... Are you a manager or a fresh face? .....are you a psychologist or sexologist?... Are you a Lover or not? ...are you girlfriend or boyfriend?... Are you an engineer or beggar?...are you a cricketer or footballer ?...are you long runner or short runner?...

You May be a
combination of many... But u forgot the basic thing..Yes! "You are a
human"..!! The human born to serve world, Nation, family and at
last him/herself...and to become anything in life first you have to become a
true human..! You have to respect the humanity..! And the one who defines
the humanity is A Leader....!!
INDIA's
population is 1.252 billion... Do you know being the one of leading nation we lack
in leadership...we are short of leaders... The few we have is political and
other few leading companies like Google and Microsoft in some other country.
We are, if
truth be told, a nation of cowards who don’t have the courage to admit their
weakness but are happy to blame a well-meaning man or woman (leader) who,
perhaps, takes his/her life motto of ‘Izzat aur Iqbal’....yes I am
talking about the few folks whom I met in Corporate. Who always love to
criticize others ability and quality rather taking their responsibilities as
priority..!
Who is
Leader?
The one who stands for Izzat (Respect). Either it may be Self-Respect or Respect of his Team mates/Subordinates. If a leader disrespects one he never get chance to lead the same person again in life said by my dad who proudly lead soldiers in Kargil War.

life is all about Respect. "God
