In Search Of A Leader:

Hausienmuan Munluo

With another election just round the corner perhaps the time is right for the people to seriously start the search for a leader who can guide or represent us in every issue. Every Organisation, in its, human resource, have a hidden born leader, who the people should choose with care. If an organization appoint leader who lack sensitivity in dealing with people it will end up losing its trust. So, the people itself must appoint its leader in its human resource itself.

A divided society must choose a leader: - Who has deep insight into what makes the human heart tick, tune into the thoughts and aspirations of others and motivate people to give their best. - A leader who trust other and delegates responsibility. A successful leader resists the impulse to do everything by oneself even if s/he can. It will develop the individual. - A leader who teaches by example and depends less on the power of his position and more on personal charisma and influence.

To conclude:

A great leaders are people with high degree of integrity. They say what they mean and do what they commit to. Such leader can take a stand on complex issues and makes unpopular decisions keeping with his/her inner convictions. But with all our senior students all believing himself ever the best and good on negative criticism to any issue, then, on what ground should we make the choice? This is where the question araise; On what basis should we make our choices; Should it be along the ideology of the person concerned? Should it be about voting along rhetorics line? Should it be a dummy person who can be easily control? Or should it be about the personal quality and integrity of the person concerned? These are all questions, but the truth stands that the time has come for the Zou’s students to seriously choose a leader who can represent us at every issue and guide us forward to unity, keeping aside his personal interest.

We need a leader who doesn’t hesitate to do manual work, who can interact freely with the most junior members to the most senior students and who can always keep in touch with the families. But a leader should not be the monopoly of the elders.!

Taming Leena With Politics

Student participation in Politics: As I was sipping tea with a pretty girls in Naraina, my attention was caught by the television screen. Hillary Clinton was addressing the students and teachers in Delhi University. Her speech; “…we have to focus on poor women and poor children because that is the generational change that makes a difference” spoiled my day at Leena house. Our conversation shift from ‘sweet-talk’ to that bullshit politics. Leena was with the view that students should shun from politics, and oppose the participation of students in politics. Here our politics means students and civil organization. Leena was argumentative and put up a strong case but on that day I tame Leena with politics. The question of the participation of students in politics has always evolved a lot of discussion. It has been a very controversial subject. In my own opinion students participation in politics should be encourage. Education does not only mean near literacy, it also means a total and all round development of the student personality. It makes students aware of what is happening in his society and in the world around. It also develops students the qualities of leadership. Instead of being a timid shy, book-worms, students grows into an aggressive, dominating and alert Youngman who know how to fight the battle of life. Our discussion goes on and leena attack me with some very interesting point. But I put forward my point with force and conviction and tell her that student life is the formative period in one’s life. If a student is totally away from politics, he is likely to grow into a lope-sided personality. People who do not participate in politic during their student life tend to be those who create hackus-ruckus in our society, they lop-sided from the main stream flow .I told leena that student should participate in politic then she slowly speek out and agreed with me within responsible limit. She agreed that all activities of organic politic are good for students to train himself and take part in it. Student leader should not be mentally torture. And student should keep themselves informed about what is happening in our society. They should not hesitate from jumping into active part if the situation threaten the unity of the society. After she speak out all what she felt, she stood their silent. That politic and my aggressiveness make Leena very upset. I said; “I am sorry to disappoint you Leena”. Before leaving for home; I told her. ‘Leena I am not a perfect guy for you but what I know is that you are always save in my heart”. Then she smiled and say; “You learn to love, not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly”. And she bade me a good night kiss. Yes, who can resist a stunningly gorgeous preety girl with charm, seductive in her ways, and is interested in your own philosophy.!
