More stuff on Leadership...
Since you all are so uber confused about the so called topic on my tagboard...Lemme give you all an example of how being one of them leads to understanding.

About 2000 years ago when the world was full of sin, God sent his son Jesus Christ to live amongst us, to become one of us, to teach us the fullness of truth and revealing to us the path that would take us to eternal life.

Jesus was what you call a servant leader, he did not distance himself from the people. He had very intimate bonds with his people and helped those who were astray find their way back on the path.

Now had Jesus decided to distance himself even one bit from us, do you think we would have been saved? We would forever be condemned with sin had Jesus not died on the cross for our sins.

The very fundamental principle of leadership = To lead is to serve...
Leadership by example is the only kind of real leadership. Everything else is dictatorship.

Good leaders make people feel that they're at the very heart of things, not at the periphery. When that happens people feel centered and that gives their work meaning. Leaders should not make men under them feel inferior or intimidated in any way.

The function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not followers. By using the distancing and intimidation method of leading, u'd end up getting a bunch of mindless followers bent only on doing what u are asking based on fear of punishment. As i shall emphasize again : To lead is to serve, nothing more, nothing less...

And of course to conclude this--
Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results and processes, not attributes.

No record of defiance or disobedience towards me, thus thats that...

The best way?
A continuation from my previous post when i stated that the usual way does not always equal to the best way...

Compare teachers of the past to teachers of the present. During my parents' and grandparents' time, teachers took delight in bullying students sadistically. They used wrong teaching methods like force students to point at every letter as they read aloud in the class. Teachers then love using physical violence and caning their students whenever possible...

People have come to accept it then...It has been the usual way...It managed to work out, teachers could impart knowledge of the subject into the students and students were obedient, but is it the best way? No...many ended up studying based on fear of the teacher and thus ended up doing badly in the exams.

Nowadays teachers do not use physical violence on students anymore. They usually use fun teaching methods by giving facts not in the syllabus but related to the topic to liven up the lesson and make it more interesting. Teachers also socialise more with the students. I also do not believe this is the best way given how many students keep disrupting the class...But students study more based on interest nowadays, thus the grades improved...

For those who study history, you'd know that Tsarist rule in Russia lasted for 400 years...The Tsars ruled Russia with absolute power, suppressed all opposition, killing and exiling those who dared to oppose their rule. It has been the usual way and many people have come to accept it...But is it the best way? Eventually the people were unhappy and thus started a rebellion.

For those who study biology, you'd know that organisms need to evolve to meet the changes. If they'd stay where they are and not change according to the environment, following their usual way, they'd be wiped out. The rule is this "Adapt or go extinct"...Look at bacteria, those who do not evolve get wiped out by antibiotics, those who had followed the usual way and not see that there is a best way. Heh even microorganisms can think...

Thus, the only way is to go up...The usual way is never good enough...There is always a better way for everything...and eventually as we follow the path upwards consistently, we'll come to realise that the best is never enough for the Best is Yet to Be...
An updation...Or is it?
Nothing much to talk about...actually i've got ALOT to talk about but I dun feel like talking about it...

I mean...the usual up and downs in my life has been happening to me...again and again...nowadays nothing good ever happens to me...its always not good to be in a situation where you find yourself doing the wrong thing at the wrong place at the wrong time...Yes the rule of "who, what, when, where, why and how" which sounds like English composition...Im beginning to get the point on how it can be applied to our lives as well. If even one of the factors is wrong then...well, the whole thing screws up...

I wonder if there'll ever be a turning point in my life which keeps going up up up...but then dats called dreaming...

Well i got a National Day award for scouts...but still I dun really find much prestige in it as...almost all the sec3s got bronze...no one standing out lol...

Played lan later after that and also on National Day (no life eh lol)...But i'm still rather glad that i didnt lose my DOTA skills after an eternity of not having my usual dota playing spree...

Chem is super hard...I hope theres a way for me to improve...

Someone raised a point that i'm far too close to the sec2s...Personally i find nothing wrong with it as many people find me a rather approachable person and also i've got no cases of disrespect (other than from eugene wee who punches people randomly and the usual "HEY BIRD" )comments)...but then again alot of scout leaders do have weird animal names rite...is calling them by their weird animal scouting name a case of disrespect? i dun think so...You see, whatever happens usually no one cares what you do but only looks at the result...so since i've had no cases of disrespect (the result) then i guess i shall leave it as that...Leaders...they're not just supposed to be someone seen as a person with a higher rank

Well then what are leaders supposed to be? They are supposed to be a friend and a brother to the people under them...to guide them and not see themselves in any way as a person higher in authority which results in people under you listening to you based on pure intimidation only...Leaders should be themselves, there are many leadership styles...Yes its good to be able to adapt to a variety of different situations...However put yourselves in the shoes of a soldier, you wont want to listen to an officer who just isnt acting himself right, cos its very obviously seen...Leadership should be nurtured, trained and vary from person to person, not just force a certain style and expect everyone to lead in the same way...That would be no different from a squad of mindless zombies...

Just because something has been done in a certain way and that people have come to accept it does not necessarily mean that its the BEST and only way...The winds of change are constanly blowing, those who do not follow it would only find themselves stranded behind with nothing else to do...Follow the winds of change for The Best is Yet to Be always...

Arrgh dont you find that in life, somehow people always tell you different things and that there are many choices to choose from...Really, everything just contradicts everything eh...Irritating...

Hmm perhaps people think i've been revealing insider information which is why they oppose me being too close to them...arrgh then again the rule of "who, what, when, where, why and how" comes in...its not nice being the most blameable person u see...cos whether you actually make any mistake or not, u'd be the first person blamed...which is...not nice...and not useful at all...Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps...say that in German...möglicherweise, möglicherweise, möglicherweise...

Seriously...i do feel like a failure...I've failed in almost everything i set out for since the start of this year...Nothing good ever happens...Whether i do anything right or not, it still doesnt work out well for me...Am i cursed? Am i brimming with bad luck? Sometimes you just have to accept what you cant change but theres too much a burden to accept...darn this better not be one of the lame games that life is throwing at me, cos its just total retardedness...

Clouds all around me...Where is the silver lining?...

By the way...Happy National Day, better late than never...

Wth?!
Sorry the image uploading process had certain technical difficulties so i shall upload the images sometime after...Hold on lol...
All that I'm asking for here is your heart...
See you in HEaven...

Ladies and gentlemen...This here is a sheep's heart...very very similar to a human's.


Now heres what the heart looks like when it is cut open. Notice those tendons on the heart? Those are chordae tendinae. They are cord-like tendons that connect the papillary muscles to the tricuspid valve and the mitral valve in the heart.

When the right ventricle

of the heart contracts, the blood pressure pushes the tricuspid valve which closes and prevents a backflow of blood into the right atrium. The chordae tendineae prevents the flaps from being everted into the right atrium. Similarly, these cord-like tendons hold in position other flaps like the bicuspid or mitral valve.

Notice the straw at the bottom pic? Its pushed through the inferior vena cava to the pulmonary veins. Ooo and some people even thought it was for drinking? Yea sure i would lyk a cup of heart juice please?

This practical is a rather hands on approach towards the learning of biology and its good that we get to see parts of the heart for ourselves. Its lyk a million times better than studying it from a book.

Anyway that was few days ago on thurs. Besides did i fail to mention that i played one DOTA game after what seems to be an eternity (hey 2 long months can be an eternity u noe) and though i started out bad, i wont the game. I'm glad i havent lost my skill yet.

As for just now, i went for the Haven concert which was a lot better than last year's FOA. Since a picture is a thousand words, i'd leave you with images and captions to show you how my evening went.
