Initiative

A response to the following quote:

"We are all leaders. Each one of us is setting an example for someone else, and each one of us has the responsibility to shape the future as we wish it to be."
-Keshavan Nair

Initiative
The General. The knight in shining armor. The apeaker. The director. The captain of the kickball team. These are all leaders, but they are also teachers. To the troops, the soldiers, the audience, the actors, and their teammates. They're leaders, but they're also teachers. As a person in this world, it is inevitable that we will always be a student to someone or something, but it is not inevitable that we become teachers and leaders ourselves. It becomes a choice that we must all make, a bridge that we choose to cross or stay put, but regardless of whether you are the teacher or the student, the capacity to be a leader yourself will always be there.
