Leadership

As I was at FFA national convention I was able to see some great leaders.  The national officers were able to get everyone excited and take part in the sessions even when they weren't always the fun ones. I could see how they worked to motivate everyone to take those leadership qualities back and apply them. The keynote speaker was a Vietnam veteran who was burned very badly by an incinerary grenade who many thought would die.  He talked to us about how to overcome our problems and with him he had a man who had been burned in a meth fire. The man told us that if we showed him who are friends were he could tell us where we would be in 10 years because friends change us and shape us. As leaders we need to learn to suround ourselves with the type of people who believe in the same things we do so we aren't lead astray. As the future leaders we need to show that doing the right things aren't always the most cool but they will give you the potential for a successful life that others will use as an example.
