On Being a Leader
To be a leader of anybody else, you will need to learn to manage yourself first of all. This may take some time and there is some discipline usually involved usually as well.
Leadership comes with experience of leading - first yourself, then others. The more you do it, the better you will eventually become at this. Start small, work up to larger and bigger projects.
You can start by recording your deeds, be it a notebook or computer. Management of time and resources is a very important quality of being a leader. And also taking note of results. This is something that has helped me a great deal as well. (Usually I talk mostly from my personal experiences here anyways).
LEADER:
1. IS responsible.
2. Is filexible/adaptable to different sets of events and circumstance.
3. Knows how to govern his time and resources.
4. Is mature, knows how to contain their emotions and keep their cool.
5. and more...

Mystery
A little on the topic of mystery.
If you want to be interesting to people, be a little mysterious...try it and see for yourself.
Learn to handle the differences, learn to be different and unique and everyone will notice you.
There is definitely some kind of pressure involved in being "the white sparrow in the flock", but once you learn to become comfortable with it, you will reap benefits big time. This is what my life has been like, which is the reason that I feel entitled to talk about the topic at least a little.
I've always been an outsider, yet really not outside of the groups I've been part of (and usually they have been not the smallest).
I have learned to enjoy being this way. So you can, too. And if you feel different and not understood, remember - you are definitely not alone in this world like that.
Learn to enjoy the differences. Be patient until somebody actually recognizes what good qualities you have instead of trying to make fun or ostracize you.

concentration
Let's talk about another favourite subject.
In the past, many told me that I have everything to succeed. But lack one thing and that is the ability to concentrate long enough on something to see the results. That could still hold true to date sometimes, actually.
With the right type and amount of concentration:
1. You can start a fire, using sticks.
2. You can earn a million dollars, if that is what you're after.
3. You can become a President.
4. You can do anything you want in this world.
My idea for anything is - just try and see what happens. Do your thing, and watch for results. They will come, large or small, one way or another, but the repercussions will be there. Just record or take note of them and correct your course.
BE FLEXIBLE.
That is a good formula to success..
1. Concentrate on something, one thing at a time, for long enough to see some kind of results.
2. Take note of any results, record them, put them on paper or computer screen.
3. Do more of the thing that brings better or more desirable results.
4. Keep doing that until you get as far as you need to.
5. Don't overstrain yourself in the process, take it easy when the ball starts rolling, go on high gear.
6. Enjoy the results and don't stop!
PS.S. Report me back if you find this simple formula useful as I have in my life!

Wisdom and faith
We do need wisdom to succeed in life. As well as well as faith.
Let's break down both of these things a little.
Wisdom is something that years of life award you with. Usually comes in with gray hair and wrinkles. You can be lucky if you have wise grandparents or an uncle. For many of us that is not the case necessarily, though. You have to learn your own system of wisdom or sagacity as it is called sometimes. Something deep and lasting and true.
You can turn to old books, as Bible and Coran for words of wisdom and for the most part you might find after time that they are true also in your life.
One of the simplest pieces of wisdom could be a well-meant advice from a friend or a family member. That can be appreciated very much at times.
Get wiser is the best choice. WORK HARD, BUT WORK SMART AS WELL.
I would add - WORK RIGHT.
Have the right intentions to set out with. You should want to do some good to the world or at least some people around you, then success will take you by storm, pretty much. You will be able to ride the horse, not just walk.
Or, if you are lucky (and possibly a surfer) you will be able to surf.

Success and happiness, part 1
Success.
You see, I have talked about this before already. And I will talk about it more.
Whenever I have an idea, I will immediately create a blog post, here or at another place, but I will do it. I have to share them or let them go. I prefer the first choice.
Today, for example, I haven't done much myself. I cooked my breakfast, I did some physical exercise and that is about it. And now I am writing and trying to provide value and give back to society.
I would like to give you some ideas to think about today!
I believe ideas are floating in the air at all times, you just have to "tune in" to the right subject and they will follow you like a swarm of sorts.
Todays big idea IS!
DON'T WAIT FOR EXTERNAL CIRCUMSTANCE TO START GOING TOWARDS YOUR GOALS. You create your realities by yourself. You are the center of your universe and everything else is less relevant. DON'T WAIT FOR THE PERFECT WEATHER TO SET IN BEFORE YOU SOW, OR REAP.
Do something today! Do something now! Do something! Follow your dreams, please.
I will try and encourage you every day with at least a couple lines, as well, so you have something to hold onto through the course of the day.

Social intelligence
We all need a good, healthy social network in order to succeed in life.
I am just a simple person. And I will also be trying to write in layman's terms, yet with a touch of nobility in my words. Of course, if you don't or rather do like something I post, you can leave comments and criticise and bash. I have to admit, I am ok with little word wars sometimes.
S0, yes. As the topic suggests. We do need a healthy social network in order to survive, thrive and succeed in our lives. For me that is true as well (everything I post is somehow related to me or my own revelations or ideas about life, world, people and universe - trying to put it as simply as possible for you to grasp every bit and piece I am putting out here) as I have been an outsider for a large part of my life.
You can strive in your life alone, you can succeed alone and often it is the best way (as in individual sports, where you get all the rewards you have worked so hard for, this is pretty much the kind of sports I have done anyways).
But at some point in life you may find out that even a king or emperor needs his court people and even rivalling countries to shine and be his best.
You may have no friends, but there is so many worthy rivals and competitors to consider, compete, learn and benefit from. ("I don't need no friends, I came in this world by muscle", don't remember who said this but that was a good quote).
You see, I always talk in terms of evolution (it is my favourite subject). I also talk a lot about myself, as I am pretty egocentrical, very focused on myself. But this is exactly how you find out also about others and the world as a whole - by finding out about yourself, you learn more about the outer world as well.
Internet is a good place for social networking. Although may not be the best for full human contact, it still is an excellent place for establishing preliminary links and maintaining existing real contact as through email and skype.
OK, I feel I am running out of gas at the moment. So I talk more later,
