How can you set an example?

The question begins with you. How can you set example for the rest of the world? Well you can begin doing so by getting good grades, by being a scholar in class and helping out classmates, by being courageous and confident by raising your hand or participate in class discussion, by helping out the teachers or simply by picking thrash off the floor when everyone decided not to. A great leader begins with the innermost desire to set an example. Great leaders from the past have courageously stood up when the odds were against them. They fear not and decided to dissent regardless of the adversary. A great leader doesn't become a great leader from day to night, it takes practice. It goes the same like me lifting up 200 pounds of weights and expect to do it when i never lifted a weight heavier than 90 pounds. What I am trying to say is that whenever you see that something is wrong and you don't do anything about it then you are just as guilty as the person who did it. 

I personally struggle with this an i don't expect anyone to do such things right away because as previously mentioned it takes time and above all it takes the desire. If you want to be the same old boring person that practices their quotidian affairs like if it were to be a broken record, that is your choice. Everything in this world has a choice it is just a matter a fact if you made the right choices.

Moving on, if you do choose however to follow the righteous path and you feel that your heart and mind desires to be a great leader or just a person who likes to be an example well i tell you that in order for you to be a successful leader it takes a lot. You have to realize that setting an example is one thing and being an example is another. You also have to realize that the path you will take in order to be a successful leader is arduous and nonetheless  risky. You will have to take risks and be able to outsmart any obstacle. I don't remember the text that is found in the Bible , but I'll look it up that says whenever you try to do what is right a whole sea of obstacles falls on you and the current will never stop until you drown or loses its momentum. 
What this is trying to say is that there will be a lot of tests and obstacles whenever you or anyone tries to do the better, the current either loses its momentum, which this can only happen if you endure the obstacles, or the current will drown you. Obviously if the current drowned you, well that is it.

I want to leave you with a key thought in your mind that whatever you do try to do it for the better and whatever you don't do is like relinquishing the trigger out of its mind.
