The 12 principles of highly successful leaders
1. Be true to character
This means to basically stay true to yourself. It is important to have a good character because you feel great. You have positive traits and that makes other people change their attitude towards you.
2. Use your imagination
Imaginative people are the best kind of people. I feel that when you have a very wide imagination, you have the potential to create big things. I think I have plenty imagination when I hear a song and I already know what the music video should look like so I have all these ideas in my head, the setting, the scene, but sadly when the actual music video comes out it is completely different. That's why I want to be a music video director so I can finally put my ideas into action.
4. Never Give up
This statement keeps me going and may be the only one. And I mean this in the long run because goals that I have and am going to accomplish are for when I get older. But currently sometimes I just want to give up on everything and mostly everyone around me. These things though aren't at all as important as the things I am willing to not give up on in the future. These tasks and these irrelevant people will not matter to me in 10 years so I don't put my focus on them at the moment.
Find Peace and Balance
Finding peace and balance is mainly about being at your happiest point. I think that to find your peace and balance you need to get away from the things that make you feel not at ease because then you don't have any kind of peace so if anyone wants to find peace and balance at all they should do the things that bring them joy.
Live the Golden Rule
The golden rule is to treat others the way you want to be treated. And that's important to me because I've been bullied almost my entire life. It has always been hard for me to understand why people are so cruel for no reason. I'd understand if I had given them a reason to be cruel to me but for them to treat me the way they did just because of my appearance and because I was different from the rest. They probably still don't even know all the pain that they caused me and how many times I cried because I didn't understand why they didn't like me. Now that I'm older I don't care what anyone thinks because if anything I will think worse of them. I don't have to feel bad for not being perfect and I don't take crap from anyone. I've learned to stand up for myself since deciding I wouldn't let anyone bring me down again. It is also the reason why I treat others the way I want to be treated because I know how much it hurts to be the victim.
Build and maintain trust
To build and maintain trust means to become trustworthy and relied on to maintain secrets. It's very hard to trust people lately. There's only one person I could actually trust aside from everyone else. There's a girl that I decided to trust about cherrio and this dumb girl told cherrio that we call her cherrio. I thought that we could trust each other but apparently I was wrong about her. Well whatever she's ugly and she don't have friends. And that taught me a lesson to be really careful about who I trust.
Quick to listen slow to wrath
No I don't think I am slow to wrath because anything can get me annoyed easily. I should totally work on that though because that might be one reason why some people don't like me and I get it but they should at least try to not get on my last nerve and stop being so annoying because I will speak out I don't care who it is.
Lead with Vision
I think leading with vision means to be determined to follow up on your dreams and to always have that vision in your head of becoming what you want and do what you have always imagined yourself doing in the future. I decided what I wanted to be doing with my life when I was 12 and I still continue to keep the same vision in my head and I hope that's exactly how it stays in the next 5 years and maybe by then of my dreams will already have come true I will keep working hard to pursue my goals.
Manage with a plan
To manage with a plan means to have an idea of what you as an individual want to do, whether it's a long term plan or a short term plan. I think I always manage with a plan like Dj Khaled always has a plan. He says to never let them tell you that you can't win. ALL I DO IS WIN WIN WIN NO MATTER WHAT GOT MONEY ON MY MIND AND I NEVER GIVING UP.
Do what Matter the Most
Always. There's very few things that matter to me so of course I make the most of them when I can. Some examples are: Eating food, showering, looking good, keeping up to date with my idols on social media and educating myself on what's gonna benefit me in the future. A lot of the things that I'm expected to do are not even close to being beneficial to me later on like math. I hate math so much and I don't think I will need to know how to do Algebra 2 or Geometry so I try to focus on more important things than that. I used to also focus on stupid boys but with all my bad experiences that I've had I have learned that it is better to stay away from immature little boys and that there are much more important things to do than to pay them even a little bit of attention I'll just wait until an actual man comes into my life.
Be accountable
I can be accountable when I need to be. Whether it's for a group project, or a friend thing, I can definitely be expected to be responsible, to explain, and to answer anything that is supposed to be. An example could be when I am relied on to be a witness of an event that person can count on me and I will for sure be there to talk to anyone who may need an explanation.
