Do not follow the crowd, let the crowd follow you

This a story of two bother deer, it will teach y0ou, do not flow the crowd. And let the crowd follow you.

One upon a time, there was a deer, who was the leader of herd of thousand, he had two sons, one was very slim and tall with bright alert eyes and smooth reddish fur, and he was called Beauty. The other was grew in colors, also slim and tall and was called Gray.

One day, after they were fully grown, their father called Beauty and Gray to him. He said, I am now very old, so I cannot do all that is necessary to look after this big herd of deer. I want you, my two grown up children to be the leaders. While I retire from looking after them all the time. We will decide the herd and each of you will lead 500 deer.

The deer are always in danger, the rice is at its tallest and the deer cannot help go into the paddles and eat it. To avoid the destruction of their crops, the human beings dig pits, set sharp stakes in the ground and build stone straps, all to capture and kill the deer, knowing this was the reason the wise old deer called the two leaders to him. He advised them to take the herds up into the mountain forest for from the dangerous farmlands. This was how he had always saved the deer from being wounded or killed then he would bring them back to the lowlands after the harvest was over. Since he was too old and weak for the tip, he would remain behind in hiding. He warned them to be careful and have a safe journey.

Beauty set out with his herd for the mountain forest and so did Gray with his. The villagers all along the way knew that this was the time the deer moved from the low lying farmlands to the high county side, do they hid along the way and killed the deer as they passed by.

Gray did not pay attention to his father’s wise advice. Instead of being careful and travelling safely, he was in a hurry to get to the hash mountain forests, so he move his herd constantly during the night, at dawn and dusk and even in road day light.

This made it easy for the people to shoot the deer in Gray’s herd with bows and arrows. Many were killed and many were wounded. Only to die in pain later on. Gray reached the forest with only a few deer remaining alive. The tall stuck red furred Beauty was wise enough to understand the danger to his moving herd, so he was very careful. He who survived the journey. Beauty led his herd in the same careful way as before. He brought back all 500 deer completely safe. While the deer were still in the distance, the old chief said to his doe, look at the deer coming back to us. Beauts has all his followers with him. Gray comes limping back alone without his whole herb of 500, those who follow a wise leaders with good qualities, will always be safe. Those who follow a foolish leader who is careless and thinks, only of himself will fall into troubles and be destroyed. After sometime, the old deer died. Beauty became chief to the herb and lived, a long life, loved and admired by all. A wise leader puts the safety of his followers first.

Where there is no vision, the people perish. Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality. A leader is a dealer in hope. Time is neutral and does not change things with courage and initiative, leaders change things. A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way.

Man make history and not the other way around. In periods, where there is not leadership, society stand still. Progress occurs, when courageous skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better. Do not follow the crowd. Let the crowed follow you. If you want to be a leader show attracts quality people, the key is to become a person of quality yourself. Great leader have three things inner light, inner vision and inner strength.

Leaders do not create followers, they create more leaders. Leaders think and talk about the solutions. Follower think and talk about the problems. We are here for reason. I believe a bit of the reason is to throw little force out to lead people through the dark.
