Life
That is my life, when I started my life I had great disappointment and I felt terrible on my life, this is due to my solitude, I had no friends when I stared my life and when I completed my high school studies. This is early part of my life or first chapter of autobiography. I searched through out my childhood to find a true friend but fate wasn’t on my side. Of course I had many friends whom I term as “friends in many” but they had nothing to do with my life. Through this way I turned my fate into poetical level, who knows my heart.
My life on earth started as usual with a weep, weep for the future. Born in a blessed village, oh! It is local ya! Everywhere in this world village is local from this local all world image has come into existence. Local is future. I also blessed to born in this way. For my parents my birth is uncertain and hopeless.

I am not so sure about my infancy. But I am sure that from the beginning of my life I don’t feel life as a journey. Who is a traveler? Absolutely I am not. Life is not a journey but it is mere preparation for long journey, though we travel one place to another, it is not journey. We prepare ourselves, forms character, learn a lot, and doing a lot of things for the past. Even then journey is not still started. To me journey has a lot of meaning that is why I do not believe in journey. But I believe life as stage where we play many roles. There are many roles which I really didn’t like it but I compelled to act that role.

Leadership Behavioral Patterns:
L Loyal ↔ Dedication and devotion
E Efficient ↔ Bringing out the best in everything
A Appreciative ↔ Thoughtful, grateful and thankful
D Disciplinarian ↔ Oriented on self discipline
E Economical ↔ Optimizes use of resource
R Responsible ↔ Build honesty, trust and confidence
S Simple ↔ Make things
H Humble ↔ Faces life with truth
I Ideal ↔ Sets good example
P Patient ↔ Tries to understand
Leader can be divided into two main types: the one type dominates and demands, those in other type inspire their followers to action while enriching their lives and developing their personality. In order to be successful we don’t have to be leader. All we have to avoid is being a leader. So we shill deal with those qualities of leadership which help most towards success in general.

7 simple steps for leadership
1. Be Enthusiastic
Have a sense of humor which enables us to admit our mistakes without feeling that we have lost face. Smile and the world smiles with us, but laugh when the world laughs at us
2. Be Eager to Learn:
If we are too old to learn we are too old to live and certainly too old to lead.
3. Share Praise but Shoulder Blame:
Be prompt to praise. Always give credit to those who have helped us in any project. However when anything goes wrong accept the full responsibility. That is good leader.
4. Enrich the Lives of Others:
Train them to become reliable and responsible. Help them to develop their personality; by delegating important tasks to them and so help them to come into prominence. We will thus win the loyalty of our followers and attract new ones to join us.
5. Never Ridicule or Shout at Anyone:
Many people think they are superior when they are sarcastic or make others look foolish or ridicule. The only expose their petty nature. Sit down with the offending party and find out the causes for bad behavior, low output or persistent indifference. Leaders never shout; they give orders with firmness and decision.
6. Develop Dependability:
Glen Gardiner states that the best definition of dependability is doing more than what is expected before it is expected. No one values a worker who has to be reminded several times to do a thing and then checked on to see if the work is done right and on schedule. You will never get far if you adopt the attitude,” I ell turn out better and quicker work, only when they pay me more”.
7. Make Few promises and Keep Them:
People lose faith in you if you can’t keep your word. So make promises sparingly, but keep them faithfully and loyally. When you are not sure of being able to do something, use non-committal phrases like “I ‘ll see what can be done.” That time is too short but I ‘ll do my best. Teach them not to make promises lightly ; for a promise once given must kept.

Lessons on Life
There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge
things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look
at a pear tree that was a great distance away.
The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in
summer, and the youngest son in the fall.
When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe
what they had seen.
The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second son
said no it was covered with green buds and full of promise.
The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so
sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen.
The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping
with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.
The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they
had each seen but only one season in the tree's life.
He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season,
and that the essence of who they are and the pleasure, joy, and love that come
from that life can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up.
If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring,
the beauty of your summer, fulfillment of your fall.
Moral:
Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest.
Don't judge life by one difficult season.
Persevere through the difficult patches
and better times are sure to come some time or later

Dear unni,

When I take a long look at my life, as though from outside, it does not appear particularly happy. Yet I am even less justified in calling it unhappy, despite all its mistakes. After all, it is foolish to keep probing for happiness or unhappiness, for it seems to me it would be hard to exchange the unhappiest days of my life for all happy ones. If what matters in a person’s existence is to accept the inevitable consciously, to taste the good and bad to the full and to make for oneself a more individual, un accidental and in ward destiny alongside ones external fate then my life has been neither empty nor worthless. Even if, as it is decreed by gods, fate has inexorably trod over my external existence as it does with everyone, my inner life has been of my own making. I deserve its sweetness and bitterness and accept full responsibility for it.
At times, when I was younger, I want to be a poet. And if I were a poet now, I would not resist the temptation to trace my life back through the delicate shadows of my childhood to precious and sheltered sources of my earliest memories. But these possessions are far too dear and sacred for person I now am to spoil for myself. I was given the freedom to discover my own inclinations and talents, to fashion my innermost pleasures and sorrows myself and to regard the future not as an alien higher power but as the hope and product of my own strength. So I passed unmarked through the schools as a disliked, untalented, yet quiet student whom they let chart his own course finally, because he seemed to elude the strong influences brought to bear upon him. At about the age of 6or7, I realized that of all the invisible powers the one I was destined to be most strongly affected a dominated by was music. From that moment on I had a world of my own, a sanctuary and heaven that no one could take away from me or belittle, and which I did not wish to share with anyone.
That is how matters have been ever since, without anything essential being changed, and that is why on looking back on my life it does not seem varied and many-sided, but from the beginning it has been tuned in a single key and directed solely to one star. Whether things went well or badly with me, my inner life remained unchanged. For long periods I might sail foreign seas, without touching manuscript-book or instrument, and yet at every moment there would be a melody in my blood and on my lips, a beat and rhythm and the drawing of breath and life. However eagerly I sought salvation, oblivion and deliverance in many other ways, however much I thirsted for god, understanding and peace, I always found them in music alone.
