LEADER. WHO IS A LEADER? IS IT AN INDIVIDUAL THAT ACHIEVES SUCCESS? AN INDIVIDUAL THAT'S RICH? AN INDIVIDUAL THAT COULD CONTROL A GROUP OF PEOPLE? OR ANYTHING ELSE? TO BE HONEST I CAN;T EXACTLY ANSWER THESE MAINSTREAM QUESTIONS, BUT I CAN GIVE YOU THE BEST EXAMPLE THERE IS FOR A LEADER, MY DAD. WHO IS A LEADER, AND NOW I CAN COURAGEOUSLY SAY, MY DAD.I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT SINCE MY CHILDHOOD, HE'S BEEN THE BEST AS A FATHER FIGURE COULD BE. MR. SARAVANAN RASAYA IS MY DAD, A LEADER , MY IDOL, I PROUDLY SAY.WHY, YOU MAY ASK? WELL BECAUSE HE'S THE BEST THERE IS GODDAMMIT, SO KNOWLEDGEABLE, SO SIMPLE, VERY MUCH CARING, LOVING AND THE LIST NEVER ENDS.
FIRST OF ALL, LET ME TELL YOU HOW HE IS THE LEADER THAT INSPIRES ME AS A GROWING ADULT. MY DAD HAS BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH HARDSHIP SINCE HIS CHILDHOOD, AND HE STILL THRIVED THROUGH ALL THOSE HARD, PAINFUL, SUFFERING MOMENTS AND HAS BECOME WHO HE IS TODAY, A SUCCESSFUL HUSBAND, A SUCCESSFUL FATHER OF TWO, A SUCCESSFUL SAFETY MANAGER AND THE BEST OF ALL A WISE, KNOWLEDGEABLE HUMAN BEING FILLED WITH SIMPLICITY. HE HAS TAUGHT A LOT ABOUT LIFE, ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT CONTINUOUS LEARNING IS TO LIFE. HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN THERE FOR ME SINCE THE DAY I WAS BORN TILL TODAY, TO SUPPORT ME IN WHATEVER WAY POSSIBLE.
MY DAD IS THE FIRSTBORN OF HIS FAMILY, WHICH HAD ALREADY IMPLANTED THE INSTINCTS OF LEADERSHIP INTO HIM, TAKING CARE OF HIS SIBLINGS AND HIS FAMILY AS HIS FATHER WAS AWAY TO WORK FOR A LIVING. HE WORKED AFTER SCHOOL WITH HIS MOM AT FARMS AND PLANTATIONS.AT THIS POINT OF HIS LIFE, HE HAD ALREADY LEARNT HOW RESPONSIBILITY IS VITAL IN THE UPBRINGING OF HIS FAMILY. HIS LIFE JUST WENT THROUGH THE SAME PACE TILL HE COMPLETED HIS HIGH SCHOOL. HIS SIBLINGS WERE ALREADY ALL GROWN UP AND HE KNEW IT WAS THE TIME FOR HIM TO MOVE FURTHER IN PURSUING HIS HIGHER EDUCATION. THAT WAS THE TIME HE, WENT TO BRICKFIELDS AND WORKED AT YMCA TO SUPPORT HIS HIGHER EDUCATION.THIS WAS THE INTERESTING PART OF HIS LIFE AS HE TOLD ME WHILE I WAS GROWING UP.
DURING THIS ERA OF HIS LIFE, HE GOT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE WORLD, ABOUT THE PEOPLE LIVING IN IT. IT WAS ALL NEW TO HIM , BUT HE HAD LEARNED TO ADAPT TO HIS NEW SURROUNDING AND EVENTUALLY EVOLVED.HE MET VARIOUS KINDS OF PEOPLE THERE AT YMCA, THE RICH, THE ULTIMATELY RICH, THE GOOD-HEARTED, THE FOUL-HEARTED, THE HUMBLE, THE EGOISTIC AND MORE. FROM THERE, HE WENT ON TO WORK IN LONDON WITH A FRIEND HE MADE WHILE WORKING AT YMCA.AND THAT IS A WHOLE LOT OF EXCITING LIFE TEACHINGS TO TALK ABOUT, SO LETS JUST END THE JOURNEY OF MY DAD'S LIFE AND START ABSORBING SOME OF HIS VALUES INTO OURSELVES.
FIRST, AS A LEADER, MY DAD WAS A RESPONSIBLE PERSON. HE TOOK THE RESPONSIBILITY OF TAKING CARE OF HIS FAMILY AND NOW IS TAKING CARE OF US. RESPONSIBILITY IS A VERY IMPORTANT VALUE THAT I LEARNED FROM MY DAD, BUT I'M JUST NOT AS RESPONSIBLE AS HE IS, BUT I'LL ALWAYS KEEP TRYING TO AT LEAST GET 1% OF HIS RESPONSIBLE ATTITUDE INTO MYSELF AND I KNOW I WILL. SECONDLY, AS A GREAT LEADER, HE WAS VERY MUCH OPEN TO CHANGES, AND ACCEPTED DIFFERENT IDEAS AND PEOPLE IN LIFE. THAT SHOWS THAT AN OPEN MINDEDNESS TOGETHER WITH THE WILLPOWER OF ACCEPTING NEW CHANGES IS A DAMN GOOD COCKTAIL TO GET DRUNK ON TO BE SUCCESSFUL.I JUST HAVE TO KEEP ADAPTING NO MATTER HOW HARD IT GETS AND EVOLVE INTO A STRONGER, BETTER PERSON LIKE MY DAD DID.
THIRDLY, NO MATTER HOW OLD YOU ARE, LEARNING NEVER STOPS.THIS IS ONE IMPORTANT LIFE LESSON THAT MY DAD HAD TAUGHT ME.A GREAT LEADER WILL ALWAYS UPDATE HIMSELF WITH KNOWLEDGE, SO KEEP LEARNING, KEEP STUDYING, GET TO KNOW MORE, TRY AND GET THE HUNGER, THE THIRST FOR KNOWLEDGE AS IT WILL COMPLETELY ALTER YOUR WAY OF THINKING, GIVE YOU THE MATURITY TO TAKE WISE DECISIONS, TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT TO YOURSELF AND PEOPLE AROUND YOU. NOW I REALISE THAT EVERY SINGLE THING ABOUT THAT IS A PRECIOUS LIFE LESSON NOT JUST TO BE A DAMN GOOD LEADER, BUT ALSO A GREAT PERSON IN LIFE.THERE ARE A LOT MORE TO KNOW AND LEARN FROM MY DAD, BUT IT'S ALREADY OVERLOADING MY MIND FROM JUST WALKING DOWN A SMALL PART OF HIS LIFE.
A LEADER IS NOT JUST SOMEONE WHO LEADS A GROUP OF PEOPLE, BUT SOMEONE WHO UPGRADES HIMSELF TOGETHER WITH THE GROUP OF PEOPLE AROUND HIM. MY DAD IS A GREAT LEADER, AS FOR ME, HE IS THE BEST AND I COULD NEVER STOP LEARNING FROM HIM. HE'S MY INSPIRATION, THE SOUL I ADMIRE THE MOST. I HAVE BEEN GIFTED WITH A GREAT DAD AND A LOVING MOM TO INSPIRE ME TO BECOME A LEADER. THERE ARE A LOT TO LEARN FROM MY MOM TOO BUT YEAH, MY MIND WOULD MOST PROBABLY EXPLODE TO KNOW HOW GREAT THEY ARE.THAT WILL BE THE END OF IT AND TILL THEN, ADIOS!!!!
