to leadership, add friendship

after weilee told me she is linking my blog to hers and she blogs practically about anything and everything... i think i better revive my blog... these past weeks have been quite a tiring but enriching journey - with my beloved yr 4SCs saying bye bye to homecoming to yr 1 orientation to getting 4F as my math class to getting my beloved, long-awaiting daredevil statue to planning for open house, sports day and youth day ( possibly dunmanian idol 09 is coming back) to waiting for logan movie to come out... - life has been very packed!
hahaha... now got to mentor 2 student leaders still - hopefully everything come tgt to work for the good of God. :)
ok... better put up the short story i am gg to share... always remember that friendship is the link to leadership, without peeps, there is no leader... so be a friend to all... be a listening ear to those who need a listening ear... :)

"Why do I recommend that you work to develop friendships on the job?
Friendship is the foundation of Influence: President Abraham Lincoln said, “If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend.” Good relationships make influence possible, and friendship is the most positive relationship you can develop on the job with your coworkers.
Friendship is the Framework for Success: I believe long-term success is unachievable without good people skills. Theodore Roosevelt said, “The most important single ingredient in the formula of success is knowing how to get along with people.” Without it, most achievements are not possible, and even what we do achieve can feel hollow.
Friendship is the Shelter Against Sudden Storms: If you’re having a bad day, who can make you better? A friend. When you have to face your fears, who would you rather do it with? A friend. When you fall on your face, who can help pick you up? A friend. Aristotle was right when he said, “True friends are a sure refuge.”
