FIRSTLY, WHEN IT COMES TO INCLUDING LEADERSHIP IN OUR SCHOOLING SYSTEMS, PEOPLE HAVE A STEREOTYPED PERSPECTIVE, BEING INFORMAL SCHOOLING. THAT IS, WITH NO DOUBT OR DEBATE, INCORRECT. LEADERSHIP CAN BE SCHOOLING CAN BE EMPIRICALLY BE INCLUDED IN OUR SCHOOLING SYSTEMS IN MEANS BEYOND SRC AND CLASS CAPTAINS. ONE SIMPLE MEANS WOULD BE THE FOOLOWING EXAMPLE. IN CHINA, THERE ARE CLASSES WHERE STUDENTS FROM THE FIRST GRADE ARE TOLD TO STAND AND GIVE MANIFESTOS FOR CLASS REPRESENTATIVE AND SOCIETY AMBASSADORS POSITIONS. THIS IS NO DIFFERENT AS TO SRC AND CLASS CAPTAINCY ONE WOULD SAY, BUT THE DISPARITY LIES IN THE SYSTEM IT IS BEING APLLIED THRIUGH AND IN. IN CHINA LEADERSHIP IS INCULCATED AND IMPARTED WHEN THE STUDENTS ARE IN NO POSITION TO LEAD, IN OTHER WORDS LEADERSHIP IS INDUCED. WHEN YOU LOOK AT OUR SCHOOLS, NOT EVEN ONE HAS TIME FOR MANIFESTOS, YES THEY DO TEACH OF GREAT LEADERS AND THEIR QUALITIES IN LIFE ORIENTATION (L.O), BUT THEY DON'T SHAPE US TO BECOMING DISTINCT LEADERS. SECONDLY, THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN LEADERSHIP AND WHEN THEY ARE BEING CRITICISED, THEY PROVE TO BE DWELLING ON THE VALUE OF THE ONE SUCCEEDED BY THEM. WHEN WE ADD VALUE, WE BRING DIFFERENCE THAT WILL BE SEEN AS SUSTAINABLE, AT LEAST, IF NOT AS AN INDELIBLE IMPRINT. HOW DO WE LIVE AN INDELIBLE IMPRINT AS HUMANS? I HAVE FOUND ONE IMPARATIVE WAY TO ACHIEVE THIS, BE INDIVIDUALLY STIGMATISED AND CONSCIENTISED FOR SOCIETY. THE MINUTE WE USE OUR INDIVIDUAL ABILITIES AND POTENIAL IN OUR GROUPS, WHICH CONTRIBUTE TO OUR SOCIETIES AND THE BROADER SOCIETY, WE BRING A SENSE OF DIFFERENCE IN THE WORK WE DO AND THAT IS HOW WE ACHIEVE ADDING VALUE IN OUR ROLES, ESPECIALLY LEADERSHIP. SOMETHING WE MUST UNDERSTAND IS THAT UTOPIA (SOCIETY WITH NO CLASS CONFLICT BETWEEN PROLETARIATS AND BOURGEOISIES) IS NEVER TO REALISE, HOWEVER WE MAY TRY TO ACHIEVE IT TO BETTER OUR CURRENT APALLING SITUATION. PEOPLE USUALLY QUESTION THE IMPORTANCE IN OUR DAILY LIVES, HERE I GO. ONE WAY TO MAINTAIN EQUILIBRIUM IS TO GET THE OPPOSITE OF THE UNDESIRED, -5+5=0. TO GET RID OF THE NEGATIVE FIVE I USED A POSITIVE FIVE AND THE EQUATION WAS AT EQUILIBRIUM FROM A MATHEMATICAL ANGLE. THAT IS HOW OUR SOCIETIES ARE, WE HAVE THE BLUE COLLAR CLASSAND TH WHITE COLLAR CLASS AND ONE CAN CLAIM EQUILIBRIUM AT THIS POINT. HOWEVER, WE DON'T HAVE UTOPIA BECAUSE THERE ARE STILL CLASSES AND THE STRUGGLE GOES ON TO MOVE TO WHITE COLLAR CLASS. WHAT WE ARE NOT AWARE OF IS THAT IN REAL LIFE, NOT MATHEMATIC APPLICATIONS, THERE IS AN AVERAGE GROUP, WHICH FLPATS BETWEEN BLUE AND WHITE COLLARS. THIS DISTURBS OUR PROGRESS TOWARDS UTOPIA AS SOME PEOPLE RESIGN AND LOSE THEIR JOBS, FROM A CORPORATE CORNER. THE ONLY WAY OUT OF OUR APALLING STATE, WOULD BE TO UNLEASH INDIVIDUAL POTENTIAL FOR THE ADVANMTGE OF SOCIETY AS A WHOLE. HUMANS ARE SOCIAL BEINGS AND WE ARE OBLIGED (PERSONAL OPINION) TO BE SOCIAL ACTIVISTS FOR PROGREESION TO REALISE. ALSO, HUMANS ARE COMPLEMENTARY, WHAT I DO SHOULD COMPLEMENT WHAT THE NEXT PERSON DOES, ESPECIALLY IN THE SAME GROUP IN SOCIETY. WHEN I WAVE TO GREET YOU, YOU MUST RESPOND IRRESPECTIVE OF HOW YOU DO IT. THIS ALSO IMPLIES THAT MY WORK IN THE GROUP SHOULD COMPLEMENT YOUR WORK AND MUST FIT IN THE WHOLE BROADER SOCIETY, WHICH BARELY HAPPENS AS WE ARE OF DIFFERENT CULTURES AND TRADITIONS. WITH OUR INPUTS IN SOCIETY COMPLEMENTING EACH OTHER AS INDIVIDUALS WE ADD VALUE TO WHAT WE DO FOR OUR SOCIETIES. ANOTER FACT IS THAT WHEN WE ATTEMPT TO IMPLEMENT OUR IDEAS AND THOUGHTS WE TEND TO COUNTERACT OTHER CULUTURES AND SOCIETIES WHICH ATTEMPT TO IMPLEMENT OPPOSITE OF WHAT WE DO. TO AVOID THAT WE NEED TO INVOLVE PEOPLE FROM OTHER GROUPS AND SOCIETIES IN ORDER TO ATTAIN IMPLEMENTATIONS THAT WILL WORK FOR THE BROADER SOCIETY.
